"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"

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Very interesting to see how this will turn out. I can’t believe O’Keefe would be so rash to interfere with telco svce, especially since so many accusations were thrown at him/her over the ACORN office(s) thing.

[WHBates]

I’ll bet this get interesting before it over. Hummmmmmmmm

Yes, they had to be looking for something to take this high level of risk to enter a federal building housing Landrieu Or the question would be, who would stand to be most embarrassed? if caught.

After his release from jail on Tuesday on a $10,000 bond, O’Keefe used his Twitter account to announce to the world that he was a “journalist” and that truth would prevail:

Seems everyone has distanced themselves from O'Keefe, even Giles said she was "shocked by the reports of this behavior. I am well aware that following the law is an integral part of being a good investigative journalist. I take that responsibility and accountability very seriously. I certainly hope these reports are untrue.”.

However, ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis [suing O'Keefe] can respond anyway she wants, and is; but O'Keefe DID expose ACORN's unethical behavior.

to be continued....

If you’ve seen these guys work on Youtube you know they are notorious for doing these things.

Here’s what probably happened IMHO: The idea is to go to Sen. Landrieu’s office in LA and bring two guys dressed like telephone repairmen and ask to speak to the Senator (they’ve done this in DC before and have one video with them and Olympia Stowe) to see if she is having phone problems because she’s not getting the message from her constituents about Obamacare.

They are running audio and video with a third man outside running the recording equipment.

They are doing another Youtube series if you ask me and the staff, being left wing facsist, probably used their connections to get the FBI involved.

If this is closer to what has happened, Landrieu and the FBI are going to look like thugs.

Again, just my opinion. Hell, in the 60’s the left would rather have just burned the building down and in some cases did.

It was reported that O’Keefe and 2 others were exasperated about the fact that Landreau’s office would not answer the phones because everyone was calling to register complaint that her vote had been bought with $300 million dollars. O’Keefe and another perosn went inside the office of Landreau, used a walky-talkie to tell a 3rd party down the street (outside) to call so they could record the ringing of the phone not being answered by Landreaus’ receptionist. There was no and is no felony which was committed. The left wants to have O’Keefe twist in the wind as payback for the ACORN exposes’ which showed the MSM to be lamestream.

OlberDork is running wild with this. He has 3 reporters on it and frothing like it's the scandal of the century. Unfortunately, #1 buttboy Schuster reported that the “listening device” reported was actually a walkie-talkie or cell phone. OlberDork questioned why a man in a van would have such a device. Gasping with laughter from all this.

I will wait until the whole story is out before making judgement. As usual there is probably more to the story.

Landrieu statement.

I still can’t believe those ACORN idiots took him seriously as a pimp in those videos.

The Louisiana Democratic Party in the statement did not specify which ties Senator Vitter might have to any of the “ players involved”. Vitter is a Republican US Senator.

As somebody who was fairly intimately familiar with this exactly situation and how you would do it if you were actually going to do it.....

There is virtually no chance these amateurs were going to ‘wiretap’ anything. If you’ve ever seen a Federal building PBX closet, you’d know that unless you actually DID work for the phone company at one point and you actually had the correct equipment (like one of those oversized orange handset looking things which alligator clips on it). For even an office the size of Landreiu, there could be a dozen phone lines alone and all the other lines on that floor will probably be in the same box because they were wired decades ago.

The only way to find the Senators actual phone lines if you were actually going to the PBX would be to attach your handset onto random lines and listen to them to hear if the conversations were coming from her office. Or you would have to originate a tone from the phone company on the offending main line and then tap that one (which would require actual phone company employees).

On this completely unworkable notion that these four kids are going to be charged with felon entrance into a Federal bldg by false pretense has one gigantic hole in it. You HAVE TO BE INTENT ON COMMITTING A FELONY for this charge to be filed. The affi filed by the FBI agent does not indicate that any of the subjects actually confessed to INTENT TO COMMIT A FELONY (as in actual wiretapping).

People who are strippers who pretend to be delivery guys and enter a Federal building only to start stripping and grinding on some unsuspecting birthday girl in a Federal office are no more guilty of this charge. The strippers don’t tell the security guards that they are strippers when they pass through the metal detectors. But they aren’t FELONs and they don’t face 10 years and/or $250,000 in fines.

There is NO WAY IN HELL these charges even make it to a trial. There could be some manufactured misdeamenor charges possible since anything you do on Federal property is a crime if the FBI doesn’t like you (you might beat the rap with a jury but they can torture you until you do).

O’Keefe needs to spend a little more time speaking to actual private investigators and maybe some former FBI agents who did public corruption. There are plenty of ways to have documented this without having gotten close to the line legally.

O’Keefe has placed some bait and the feds took it. The trap has sprung! He has something big and wants to bring it to light in federal court. This is a well planned thought out set of dominoes and it will be fun to watch in the coming months. A federal attorney’s son in the mix! This is a sting in the making... The MSM will go down with the corrupt ACORN tied politicians too!
