The independent filmmaker who brought ACORN to its knees last year with an undercover expose was arrested this week along with three others, including the son of a federal prosecutor, and accused of trying to interfere with the phones at Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu's office.
Activist James O'Keefe, 25, was already in Landrieu's New Orleans office Monday when Robert Flanagan and Joseph Basel, both 24, showed up claiming to be telephone repairmen, according to U.S. Attorney Jim Letten's office. Letten says O'Keefe recorded the two with his cell phone.
Once inside the reception area, Flanagan, the son of acting U.S. Attorney Bill Flanagan in Shreveport, and Basel asked for access to the main phone at the reception desk.
After handling the phone, "Flanagan and Basel next requested access to the telephone closet because they needed to perform work on the main telephone system," Letten's office said.
The men were directed to another office in the building, they're accused of again misrepresenting themselves as telephone repairmen.
They were arrested later by the U.S. Marshal's Service. Details of the arrest were not available. A fourth man, Stan Dai, 24, was also arrested, but Letten's office said only that he assisted the others in planning, coordinating and preparing the operation.

You know, you just have to love criminals who are stupid enough to record themselves committing crimes.

It's just good clean fun when rich white kids do this sort of thing. Like when the Duke Lacrosse Team totally didn't rape that stripper? Hilarious. Anyway, have no fear, GOP cowards arrested means they'll be rolling over on some random higher up operative in a week at the outside. Then this will be more interesting. These kids will be granted complete immunity and have no criminal record, of course.

Maybe, but attempting to use that to justify breaking the law is pretty f'in stupid. Then again, it's you.

Then get that written into law.

Sure. Throw them both in jail if convicted. I'm cool with that and assume you are too.

If ACORN wasn't so evil, they wouldn't have to do these things.

Bet that raping parrot isn't going to get what he deserves, either. The privilege of extreme minority!
She probably feels she's exempt from wiretapping and can do whatever she wants, damn Frenchy.

A federal law enforcement official said one of the suspects was picked up in a car a couple of blocks away with a listening device that could pick up transmissions. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the information was not part of the FBI affidavit.
O'Keefe said only "veritas," Latin for truth, as he left jail Tuesday with suspects Stan Dai and Joseph Basel, both 24. All declined to comment.
As he got into a cab outside the jail, O'Keefe said, "The truth shall set me free."

All that and a messianic complex, too. What a guy.
