Anti-ACORN filmmaker arrested

Federal authorities have arrested four men on felony charges for
attempting to infiltrate Sen. Mary Landrieu’s New Orleans office,
including one filmmaker who targeted the community group ACORN last
year in damaging undercover videos.
Among those arrested was 25-year-old James O’Keefe, the conservative
filmmaker, along with Joseph Basel, Robert Flanagan and Stan Dai, all
24. They were charged with entering federal property under false
pretenses and attempting to gain access to the Democrat’s office by
posing as telephone repairmen, according to a copy of an FBI affidavit
unsealed Tuesday.
The complaint said that O’Keefe was waiting in the office when
Flanagan and Basel each entered the premises, wearing light green
fluorescent vests, denim paints and blue work shirts, tool belts and
hard-hats. They informed a member of Landrieu’s staff that they were
telephone repairmen and requested access to the main telephone at the
reception desk.
At that point, the two men allegedly attempted to manipulate
telephones and accessed the telephone closet, saying they needed to
work on the entire system. The men, who said they left their
credentials in their vehicles, and were later arrested by the U.S.
Marshal’s Service soon afterward. O’Keefe was allegedly involved with
planning, coordination, and preparation of the operation, according to
an FBI news release.
According to the FBI, the four men could each face up to 10 years and
a fine of $250,000 if they are convicted. The case, which is being
investigated by special agents of the FBI and deputy marshals with the
United States Marshal’s Service, is being prosecuted by Assistant
United States Attorney Jordan Ginsberg.
Michael Madigan, O’Keefe’s lawyer, told POLITICO Tuesday afternoon
that he was still unclear exactly what happened at the senator’s
office.
"I don't know the facts yet of what exactly happened, but at heart
James O'Keefe is a good kid,” said Madigan, a white-collar criminal
defense lawyer who served as counsel to Sen. Howard Baker during the
Watergate investigation and helped run former Tennessee Republican
Sen. Fred Thompson’s investigation of the Clinton administration.
In a statement issued Tuesday night, Landrieu said: “This is a very
unusual situation and somewhat unsettling for me and my staff. The
individuals responsible have been charged with entering federal
property under false pretenses for the purposes of committing a
felony. I am as interested as everyone else about their motives and
purpose, which I hope will become clear as the investigation moves
forward.”
In a statement, ACORN said O’Keefe’s arrest is “further evidence of
his disregard for the law in pursuit of his extremist agenda.”
This was not the first of O’Keefe’s legal troubles: ACORN is pressing
charges him with a six-figure lawsuit in Baltimore for videotaping its
employees with a hidden video camera over the summer. The lawsuit is
still ongoing, and the Philadelphia branch of the group alleged in
federal court this month that O’Keefe and co-filmmaker Hannah Giles
caused emotional distress, harm and injury in their publicizing of the
videos.
O’Keefe made waves last year when he unveiled undercover videos of
ACORN employees seeming to encourage two people – who were pretending
to be sex workers – to circumvent the law, embarrassing the group and
forcing many of its supporters to spurn its ties with it. ACORN has
long been a punching bag for conservatives who say that the community-
organizing group engages in underhanded activities as it tries to beef
up voter registration among the poor, charges that the group roundly
dismisses.
O’Keefe’s original ACORN videos – filmed last year -- appeared on the
conservative news website biggovernment.com, which is run by Andrew
Breitbart, a prominent conservative.
In a statement, Breitbart denied that he knew anything of the latest
incident involving Landrieu.
"We have no knowledge about or connection to any alleged acts and
events involving James O'Keefe at Senator Mary Landrieu's office,”
Breitbart said in a statement. “We only just learned about the alleged
incident this afternoon. We have no information other than what has
been reported publicly by the press. Accordingly, we simply are not in
a position to make any further comment."
In one of O’Keefe’s videos, a woman pretending to be a prostitute
informs an ACORN employee that she wants to traffic in a dozen
underage women from El Salvador and wants assistance obtaining a loan
for a brothel, in an attempt to avoid tax laws and launder money into
a congressional campaign. The video shows an employee from a Baltimore
field office giving the advice to the two people, seeming to ignore
the fact that they were characterizing themselves as sex workers.
Similar videos also emerged, including another by O’Keefe where he
filmed ACORN workers in San Bernardino, Calif. talking to a woman
pretending to be a prostitute how she could avoid police detection.
Conservatives pounced on the videos as evidence that the organization
was corrupt, and it prompted an array of efforts in Congress to shut
down all federal funding to the community group. In November, the
group sued the federal government, alleging it is unconstitutional for
Congress retaliate against a specific group.
Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.), a leader of the effort, couldn’t be
reached for comment on the incident in Landrieu’s office, and a lead
House critic of ACORN, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), declined to
comment as well.
Democrats who support ACORN say that the group has been the subject of
unsubstantiated criticism, and they point to a December study by the
Congressional Research Office that suggested that the group has not
improperly used its federal funds or engaged in illegal activities at
the polls, and it raises the possibility that the filmmakers broke the
law by its undercover sting.
The videos prompted an embarrassed ACORN to launch an internal review
conducted by former Democratic Massachusetts Attorney General Scott
Harshbarger, who recommended a series of improvements but said that
there was no pattern of intentionally inappropriate or illegal conduct
by the group’s staff.
Immediately after Tuesday’s news broke, some conservatives seemed
sympathetic to O’Keefe’s latest troubles.
“Hang in there buddy, we’re on your side,” a fan wrote on O’Keefe’s
Facebook page.

to ignore the administration's embarrassing ACORN story is all over
this one. Also strange that media and ACORN personalities embarrassed
by James O'Keefe were so quick to make detailed comments moments
after the arrests. Like they all knew in advance.
Best bet is it's a smear campaign against O'Keefe who will be testifying in
the ACORN court case and will be presenting his videos of illegal ACORN
activities during the trial.
This is a well known tactic of the left wing democrats and Progressives, if
they can't silence an opponent, smear them any way they can.
