hey, I apologize wholeheartedly to all FReepers and to James O'Keefe if I can reach him with an email, for my first comment on that thread..... which certainly gave far too much credence to the affidavit from the FBI agent.

"[although I did say right at the start " post #269 **IF** the affidavit from the FBI agent is roughly accurate...." (emphasis added now).... that's a bigger "IF" than I realized in the first moments....]

However, from the first instant I gave no credence whatsoever to the Mediascum -- my initial failing was (I think) to believe that an FBI agent, even a lib, would not be stooopid enough to make some of the statements made in that affidavit if they would easily be proved so irrelevant and/or ridiculous. Now it certainly appears much more likely that it is that FBI agent and any other US officials involved who went "over the top" since there is nothing emerging so far that seems to be evidence of a crime.

now that FBI agent, and other officials on the scence, certainly deserve much scrutiny for allowing this incident to escalate beyond what may have been reasonable...... release the video!!

while accepting some chastisement for my first comment on that thread, I also want to note that (maybe) I hit early on an interesting and plausible possible explanation of the situation (which now appears to be the direction in which all of this is heading, whether or not it was all originally anticipated or intended by O’Keefe and friends):

hey, this may be wishful thinking on my part, but let’s consider this scenario:

first let’s postulate that O’Keefe may well be a very sensible and clever guy who would know better than to get himself caught up in what he appears to be caught up in

then let’s imagine why he and the others might be doing what they reportedly did

could it be that they did strictly stay on the right side or the law, or at least nothing beyond a misdemeanor, but that this is all a kind of “trojan horse” publicity stunt to get the Demagogues and MSM to focus upon these guys non-stop??

i.e., what if there is no “listening device” and/or it’s a fake device that could not actually work for any nefarious purpose?

what if they meant to be “caught” knowing (possibly) that there was no real case against them, but that the Demagogues and MSM would quickly over-play the hand, making these guys famous, and then it could boomerang against all who ignored or downplayed the ACORN stings?

not saying I can account for all details since (1) there is a lot we don’t know, and (2) I don’t claim to know what’s going to happen next in legal, political, and media terms..... but if this guy is as clever as he was for the ACORN stings, maybe this is all a set-up AGAINST the Demagogues and MSM..... ssssshhhh, if this is so let’s not tell anyone outside of FR..... we need the media and Demagogues to greatly over-react..... let Holder and even Obambi make statements etc. ooooh, this could be fun
