Holy Crap! The FBI has arrested James O’Keefe, the ACORN slayer, and three other men for attempting to plant a bug in Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu’s office!
O’Keefe and the three other men were dressed up as telephone repairmen and actually gained access to the office and the main phone closet before being asked to show credentials and then the jig was up.
My mind is reeling thinking of what O’Keefe might have been on to that prompted him to attempt this act? I also wonder if, like the ACORN sting, O’Keefe had already bugged other Democratic senator’s offices. If so, what did he learn? Paging Andrew Breitbart!
Read the full report here.
UPDATE 1:
One of the fellows arrested with O'Keefe was Robert Flanagan. Robert Flanagan is the son of a US Attorney for the Western District of Louisiana. Again I have to ask the question, what did O'Keefe know that led him to do such a reckless thing? Do O'Keefe and Flanagan have something on Mary Landrieu and were in her office to get the goods on her?
UPDATE 2:
Michelle Malkin has the FBI affidavit containing the charges against O'Keefe. O'Keefe admits to planning the operation. The guys were picked up in a car a short distance away from Landrieu's office. They were in possession of a listening device. Upon leaving the jail, O'Keefe said "vertias" - truth.

O’Keefe said “veritas,” Latin for truth, as he left a suburban jail Tuesday with suspects Stan Dai and Joseph Basel, both 24. All declined to comment.
“There will be a time for that,” Dai said.
As he got into a cab outside the jail, O’Keefe said, “The truth shall set me free.” His biography on a Web site where he blogs says he works at VeritasVisuals.com, though that Web site does not currently work.
Again, I am thinking O'Keefe knows something about Landrieu. What can it be? Andrew Brietbart do you know something? Will this lead to a Watergate type story broken in Big Government or Big Journalism?
UPDATE 3:
Allah Pundit at Hot Air has the legal ramifications for O'Keefe's actions and a brief statement from Brietbart.
UPDATE 4:
1/29/2010: Correction, O'Keefe and gang were NOT arrested for "bugging" the phone lines. You can read O'Keefe's full statement here.
