| ACORN gotcha man arrested for bugging Sen.Mary Landrieu's office |
| 2010-01-26 |
| Alleging a plot to tamper with phones in Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu's office in the Hale Boggs Federal Building in downtown New Orleans, the FBI arrested four people Monday, including James O'Keefe, 25, a conservative filmmaker whose undercover videos at ACORN field offices severely damaged the advocacy group's credibility. Also arrested were Joseph Basel, Stan Dai and Robert Flanagan, all 24. Flanagan is the son of William Flanagan, who is the acting U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Louisiana, the office confirmed. All four were charged with entering federal property under false pretenses with the intent of committing a felony. According to the FBI affidavit, Flanagan and Basel entered the federal building at 500 Poydras Street about 11 a.m. Monday, dressed as telephone company employees, wearing jeans, fluorescent green vests, tool belts, and hard hats. When they arrived at Landrieu's 10th floor office, O'Keefe was already in the office and had told a staffer he was waiting for someone to arrive. ACORN spokesman Kevin Whelan said the arrest calls O'Keefe's credibility into question, and used the opportunity to point out that he "edited (ACORN videos) to make things look as bad as possible." O'Keefe on Thursday gave a speech to the Pelican Institute for Public Policy, a libertarian group in New Orleans. |

| #7 Yeah, sure ACORN. You guys were in trouble before these people filmed you. So you have no say regarding integrity. And neither does Landreau. Bottom line is, these boys need to understand they do not need to be crossing the line into committing a felony when trying to catch sleezy people who are creating felonies. |

| #5 48 Hour rule. Right now I trust O'Keefe who exposes people stealing from me more than an FBI that won't interrogate people trying to kill me. |

| #4 I recommend that you lodge the complaint for the $300 million bribe to Landreau to Att. Gen Holder. Heh. |

| #3 Why wasn't Landrieu arrested for accepting a 300 million dollar bribe? |

| #2 This is not good news! These clowns stupidly and totally unnecessarily gave that fraud racket, ACORN, ammunition. It's hard enough to limit ACORN's influence with the White House behind them, and the majority of the media still unwilling to cover the story. Ugh! |
