Now, why would O'Keefe deliberately create evidence if his team was truly up to no-good? Obviously, he must have been planning to work the cell-phone captured material into some sort of exposé. It sounds to me like he was there for some other reason and when the bogus phone guys showed up he smelled a story and pushed the record button on his cell.
I'd like to see if he made an appointment or if he was asked to be there.

"It would not surprise me at all if a couple of felons were offered a deal or paid to show up at Landrieus office, when OKeefe had an appointment there, and say he was working with them to bug the phones. "
That speculation is probably far closer to the actual truth than we may ever know.
To: Lazamataz
When you say O’Keefe “admitted it all,” I can’t help but wonder how you define “it all.”
I do not see O’Keefe admitting they intended to tap the phones.

To: Lazamataz
Well, they admitted they entered the office under false pretenses, but they did not admit they were trying to tamper with the phone line.
I can't imagine what else they could have been doing dressed as telephone repairmen though.
A major career crushing moron moment for all involved. Plea to lesser charges, get probation, work at K-Mart until death.

second sentence of para 10 is VERY suspicious looking, and means exactly what? What did they (O’Keefe and Dai) “ADMIT”???

So now you are questioning the integrity of U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana Jim Letten?
Good luck with that theory as Letten has done more to clean-up Louisiana politics that anyone in the state’s history.

This is just an opportunity for the left to scream, “throw out the charges against ACORN this guy is a fraud.” Just wait and see.
To: Petronski
Just guessing but it sounds like O’Keefe was just getting his usual cell phone video and Landrieu’s office is making it out to be some kind of conspiracy to wiretap.
The fact that the son of a US attorney involved is interesting in itself.

I can't figure that out, either. Why would you actually record yourself (or your alleged confederates) doing something illegal?
To: camerongood210
He was THERE. There is no indication that he was dressed as anyone but himself. The only thing that seems to connect him to the “plumbers” is that he was prepared to record them on his phone. Maybe he spotted them as fakes before the staff did and thought, this is going to be good. Maybe it was just a coinkidink. Who nose?

It’ll be interesting to see if the MSM reports this story.
After all, they didn’t report on O’Keefe during the ACORN expose. Will they report now?

So now you are questioning the integrity of U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana Jim Letten?He's SUCH a good guy, why do we even need a trial? Wouldn't subjecting his claims to a finder of fact just be questioning the sparkling integrity of the great Jim whatshisname?

Since when does a person get into a Senator’s office, while just waiting on someone. This sounds weird to me...don’t they have a reception area.

It wouldn’t surprise me if this was a setup. I’m sure that obama would love to nail those two who did the ACORN exposes, or either one of them.
Possibly it’s a frameup as well. Let’s hope the FBI doesn’t succeed in pulling off a fast one.

It’s the front page story on the Politico. Nothing on Reuters yet. AP is reporting it as a NewsAlert. Nothing on AFP yet.

hang on
how do we know he was not invited to an interview and then set up.
How do we know what the hell is going on yet and how do we know this was a got ya moment or even that he might have done it but to hear some on here this far you would think that there is no need of a court and to think that some say on here the media cannot be trusted.
