I’m sure they would like to believe O’Keefe is stupid enough to try to “wiretap” a sitting U.S. senator in broad daylight during office hours, while recording the entire sequence of events on his cell phone camera.

That's what's been nagging at me ever since I heard about this earlier. There's no way these guys would be that stupid. Right?

The rest of this story should be very interesting.

I just hope we know it soon.

I’m guessing here, but what the heck, we’re all guessing at the moment. I can picture a story pursuing the inability to get anybody to answer the phone in Landreu’s office. They then go to the office for the purpose of showing there’s nothing wrong with their phones.

That’s consistent with the description of the guy announcing he’s able to call out, and the other guy announcing he’s unable to call in. I think this is more about finding a cinematic way to make a point than it is about wiretapping. Nevertheless, it wasn’t well thought out.

The fact that the left believes as you cited, and thinks the public is ignorant enough to buy it says more about them and their audience than anything else.

at first I thought that O’Keefe had gone off the deep end, but now I think it’s much more likely that this is some elaborate stunt to expose the extreme biases of the MSM and the Democrats

we really don’t know that any crime has been committed -— it may well turn out that there’s no real “tampering” with a phone system at all

Not clear that anyone really knows yet that there were any functioning “bugs” or “listening devices” present, and certainly nothing that was actually implanted

O’Keefe was said to be filming with his cell phone — that does not sound like the behavior of someone who believes he is participating in any crime

I am wondering if any “listening devices” or “bugs” will turn out to be totally non-functional, maybe part of a stunt to show how easily the MSM leaps to conclusions and trumpets their hasty “conclusions” when a conservative figure is involved..... while of course ignoring the ACORN stories (and so many others) for as long as they could, and then almost every media outlet trivialized it

Maybe O’Keefe is setting a lot of libs up for big-time embarrassment..... at least I hope so! we have to wait for some actual facts and details about what was going on

This case is very curious, and I’m wondering this morning after much reflection that it may well be a “set-up”....by none other than O’Keefe.

Like Hannibal at Cannae, O’Keefe may have pulled back his front as a tactic to draw in the enemy and destroy them. My sense is that this is a gig devised to blow up in the prosecutor’s face and give O’Keefe a hammer on the prosecutor and the plaintiffs in the lawsuit.

Of course he can be that stupid, come on fellow freepers. Don’t close your eyes because he’s on “our” side. The kid made a big mistake,and if it turns out he was that stupid, he desrrves all he gets..

My Gawd, sometimes, I swear?
