The boss is skeptical, as am I. Remember when I said earlier that their defense would likely be that they never really intended to tap any phones but were simply trying to show how easy it would be to do so? Well, er
An official close to the investigation said one of the four was arrested with a listening device in a car blocks from the senators offices. He spoke on condition of anonymity because that information was not included in official arresting documents
ACORN spokesman Kevin Whelan said the arrest calls OKeefes credibility into question, and used the opportunity to point out that he edited (ACORN videos) to make things look as bad as possible. He said, for instance, that OKeefe actually wore a normal dress shirt when he was in the ACORN offices, but spliced in shots of him dressed as a pimp in the final videos.
OKeefe, Flanagan, and Basel were all inside the building, according to the FBI affidavit, so the one with the listening device must have been Dai. Hugh Hewitt interviewed Breitbart about the arrests this afternoon, and while AB is crystal clear about that he didnt know any of the other three men involved or what OKeefe was up to, its less clear what the employment relation between them is.

Regardless of the outcome of this story, ACORN is still a front organization for under-age prostitution and bringing illegals into this country.
I hope so, O’Keefe. I hope so.
Get a grip. If the FBI was tipped off about something like this, how would they be the set upees.
Geez!!!!
You also need a dose of reality.
EXACTLY!!!
Just happens to be in LA. Not known as a lawbiding state.
O’keefe has had a target painted on his back since his pimp n ho adventures.
He should have known not to jaywalk or run a stop sign, lest it be made into a federal case.
Now this....
I’ve done some stupid things, but....
The pooch has done been scrod.
.....something dirty about this...
Something dirty and stupid, too. Like getting caught in a Senator’s office with bugging equipment while dressed as phone repairmen. Did they do this at the point of some Dems gun?
Really. Did the Dems put a gun to O’Keefe’s head and march him in to Landrieu’s office?
I think the kid got high on his own press and then got carried away. He’s too immature to see how his actions could embarrass and discredit the whole conservative movement and vindicate ACORN, SEIU, Democrats and Obama in the process.
Thanks a lot, O’Keefe.
Something big is going to go down. O’Keefe is no dummy and knows that these people were going to come after him with everything. When O’Keefe says “veritas,” I think he has the goods on the Dems that will be the October surprise coming from the right. This will be very interesting to follow in the coming days.
Exactly. Andrew Breitart is running away from O’Keefe as quickly as he can.
Interesting that Flanagan’s father is a US Attorney, according to Breitbart:
“The fourth suspect, Robert Flanagan, the son of Shreveport-based acting U.S. Attorney Bill Flanagan, was not with them. A judge said earlier all four would be released Tuesday.”
Is Flanagan the one who was caught in the car a few blocks away with a listening device?
OKeefe may be on trial in October and many surprises may come out of that trial.
I think it was some hired guys in 1972 breaking into campaign offices in a hotel in D.C.
