The incident occurred in the Federal Building.
United States property.
Federal Jurisdiction.
The FBI undoubtedly has an office there.
According to the affidavit, O'Keefe confessed. I have a feeling his next journalism project is going to be a jailhouse diary.
what has he confessed to because no where does it state he admitted to wire tapping so lets not be too quick hey
He confessed to entering under false pretenses, but the accusation seems to be that they had the intent of interfering with the phone system. I don’t think anyone admitted that that was their real intent. I’m betting the whole telephone angle was just a ploy to get deeper into the office for some other reason, perhaps to start a conversation with office staffers while pretending to do work. It sounds to me like the case would have to prove that they really intended to interfere with the phone system in order for any serious charge to apply. It was a boneheaded strategy, but we can’t yet say what the plan really was.
