My mistake. Thank you for pointing out my error.
Now does the report say that “he” went into the closet? Or was it the other people who did?
The report is not entirely clear, but if they were working in concert to mess with the phone lines, it really doesn't matter which ones tried to get into the phone closet.
Of course, they need to establish that they intended to tamper with the phone lines, which is very much up in the air. I hope it's all as O'Keefe's statement says, but if they did try to get into the phone closet, his version of events becomes unworkable.
I can't wait for his videotape of events to come out. It will eventually. It may show the political workers in Landrieu's office getting all melodramatic and nuts over nothing, just to get the four guys in trouble. I'm suspecting that in the end, they'll have to plead to some minor "trespassing under false pretenses" type of charge, and pay a fine.
