Interviewed on Fox just moments ago, Andrew Breitbart claimed that alleged Landrieu phone tamperer James O'Keefe "sat in jail for 28 hours without access to an attorney."
Breitbart, who has been on a public campaign defending O'Keefe, a paid contributor to Breitbart's BigGovernment.com, also charged that the U.S. Attorney's office in Louisiana leaked information to the press "helping" them to frame the episode as "Watergate Junior."
Breitbart complained that after the news of the arrests broke last Tuesday, O'Keefe's attorney and Breitbart himself were being called by the media but they could not locate O'Keefe -- "and that's because he was sitting in jail without access to an attorney," Breitbart said.
He accused the U.S. attorney of leaking information to the media in a "concerted effort" to frame the episode in a way that would put O'Keefe in a bad position.
Asked by Fox's Megyn Kelly what motivation the U.S. Attorney would have to make such an effort, Breitbart responded: "Well, it's tied to the Justice Department. And we've been very aggressive in asking Eric Holder to investigate what's seen on the ACORN tapes, and he's ignored it."

But, if he had tried to blow an airliner full of people out of the sky, Eric Holder would have personally seen to it that he immediatley received an attorney, at our expense.
Let me get this straight. The airplane bomber gets an attorney within an hour and Okeefe has to want more than a day. Something is wrong with this picture.
bttt
The federal government under 0bama has arrested a journalist on trumped up charges while in the midst of exposing a corrupt politician.
Our nation has now officially entered Old Soviet Union territory.
Maybe if he put the tampered phone in his underwear???
Has anything looking like a defense been posted? So far I heard they tried to wiretap Senator’s offices and were unauthorized trespassing on government property. Sounds serious. What were they up to?
“But, if he had tried to blow an airliner full of people out of the sky, Eric Holder would have personally seen to it that he immediatley received an attorney, at our expense.”
Naw... O’Keefe is white.
Well, notably they had no wire tapping equipment.
You heard wrong.
Our nation has now officially entered NEW Soviet Union territory.................
That’s the MSM’s version.
This is payback from 0bama for what James O’Keefe did to his buddies at ACORN.
O’Keefe is now a political prisoner.
Did they confiscate his cell phone???
You must get your “news” from MSNBC.
Umm, sorry but you can not waltz into a federal building and pretend you are something you are not and begin to tamper with equipment, even if to just see if they worked.
Breitbart coverage at Big Government, including James O’Keefe’s statement on the case:

Two examples of the state of justice.
#1. An American citizen is accused of a crime and held without legal representation - was he read his Miranda rights?
The MSM has certainly tainted the jury pool with its accusations of guilt.

#2.
A foreign national; KSM is being given all the legal protections guaranteed to US Citizens. He has been charged with an act of war against this nation. He is to be tried in the US court system.
This President and his Press secretary have stated “KSM will be given a fair trial, convicted and executed.
They have each tainted the jury pool. Will KSM’s charges be thrown out?
And this bozo went to Harvard Law School? Did he? Can he prove it?
