A video created by conservative media guerilla James O'Keefe, that showed Hollywood big shots willing to receive funding from Arabs to make an anti-Fracking movie while hiding the source of the funds, has engendered a "tremendous amount of fallout" according to actor Ed Begley, one of the targets in the film.

Now others who were outed as hypocrites want the FBI to investigate whether O'Keefe broke any laws when making the film.

Hollywood Reporter:

Filmmakers who were targets of an undercover sting operation by James O'Keefe have filed a criminal complaint with police and have asked the FBI to determine whether federal laws were broken when the journalist surreptitiously recorded phone calls and a lunch meeting, a spokesman for movie producers Josh and Rebecca Tickell said Wednesday.

I can confirm that this matter has been reported to federal and local law enforcement for investigation of whether certain state and federal laws were violated," said Jonathan Franks, a managing partner at Lucid Public Relations.

Franks also said that police are looking into a disturbing phone call placed Wednesday to the Tickells, who run Green Planet Prods. and produce award-winning environmental documentaries.

Makes me wonder, how many times did the FBI investigate 60 Minutes?

And some of their broadcasts were outright fraud IIRC!

If I remember correctly from my years in Law Enforcement, Wire Tap laws were instituted to keep the Gubbermint in line, not people. Maybe the Courts have changed it over the years.

It’s the only way to be safe and keep your family safe.

And it is actually better for them. Gives them some time to self reflect. They will initially harbor anger because you walked away (How dare they do that to me)(That hurt my feelings) etc. etc. About the only way to cure them is to let them know you are on to their ways and their ways wont work anymore. Actually had one recently admit, yeah it was their fault because they were being the jerk. Took a lot though and would rather have not done it.

If you haven’t seen the video, it is stunning. It is literally red-handed proof that the LA-DC political alliance is one big anti-American ploy.

If only the GOP had half of the balls that O’Keefe has.

The problem appears to be that O’Keefe selectively edited some of the tapes. I saw/heard part of the tape that O’Keefe tried w/ Fox (the guy).

I don’t think editing tapes to make someone look bad is the way to go when dealing w/ people you disagree with.

Seems slimy to me. But I also think it muddies the water when the masses get wind of a such behavior by O’Keefe.
