O'Keefe is a 25-year-old punk... who will fold like a tent under questioning

[scheming daemons]

... and don't be surprised if he offers up his "boss", Andrew Breitbart.


O'Keefe is on Breitbart's payroll.


O'Keefe will be offered a "deal" by the federal prosecutors, and will flip easily.




That's my prediction, anyway.

[niyad]

1. what--you don't think he is so committed to the "cause" or whatever, that he is willing to forego

doing the shower dance with big bubba?

[johnfunk]

5. I suspect the OTHER suspects will be the ones to flip on O'Keefe...

... and the people who back him financially and politically.

Don't be surprised if the Feds already have O'Keefe's phone records, e-mail and 'Net traffic.

These numbskulls did exactly what some terrorists might well attempt: dress in utility drag, infiltrate a building, and plant whatever devices they prefer, be they phone bugs or high explosives.

You can be sure o'Keefe is a committed little brownshirt. He's a movement conservative and alumnus of the right's "dirty tricks grad school," the Leadership Institute.

[Last Stand]

6. He's now a martyr for the cause.

If he takes one for the team, he'll be rich, famous and on the inner circle of the Repukes in no time.

They'll get him a deal and he'll plead out fast like Madoff did so that no one goes down with him.

[JDPriestly]

10. His phone and bank account records will tell a story.

[anonymous171]

2. I agree.

He reminds me of a more malicious version of the "Don't tase me bro" guy. A lot of nerve but no spine.

[Jackpine Radical]

3. Well, he was right about one thing.

When he pumped his fist in the air and shouted "The truth shall set me free."

Well, at least the truth will reduce his sentence.

[TheBigotBasher]

8. Screw reducing his sentence.

Maybe, if the difference is life v 50 years.

Look what happened to ACORN - where no actual crime was committed.

I will say this until I am blue in the face, if this little punk was an African American employee of ACORN doing this, he would not be looking at getting out of prison ever.

A Congressional investigation would be demanded. The right would be claiming the Whitehouse knew.

We should be demanding to know what did Congressional Rethugs know. I guess quite a bit.

[renegade000]

4. in my fantasy world, he would be interrogated by agent gibbs

it would go something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsoofcLU4_o

[EmeraldCityGrl]

7. Flanagan will be the offered the deal because of his

father's position. He'll be the one most lawyered up and will hand over O'Keefe on a platter.

[gateley]

9. Turley thought that pains would be taken NOT to go easy on Flanagan because

of his father's position. Hope he's right.

11. Getting their equipment into a federal building required deception.

Someone, perhaps the prosecutor's son, got them into the building. Everyone has to go through a metal detector and past security in many federal buildings, and I would think that's particularly true of a Senator's office.

There have to be others involved, people who funded and helped plan this job. They likely intended to eavesdrop and find out things that are embarrassing and can be used. They were fishing for anything that might be used to hurt the Democratic senator and party.

This smells like the gang of dirty tricksters that Rove and others have operated in the GOP for at least 40 years.
