Does anyone know how they caught the Pimp and his cronies red handed? |
|
I can't seem to find how the FBI showed up and caught them on the scene... Did someone from the Senators office report them?

1. It was something about ID |
|
when asked they said it was in the truck and then someone (?) called it in. Not sure who that was.

2. From what I can tell... |
|
authorities were called after the "phone repair idiots" were asked for their ID's and made some lame excuse about leaving them in the car.

3. They went to the office of the building to gain access to the phone closet |
|
where they were asked for credentials.
When they claimed they left their credentials in the truck, U.S. Marshals were called. The FBI is stationed in the building.
Boom goes the dynamite.

12. I've long thought that the reason Republicans think the way they do is that they |

live in a fantasy world. Clearly, these guys watched Mission Impossible and Bourne and thought they were watching documentaries.

They were already under federal investigation and when they went upstairs to the "have a look" a the main phone box when a staff member asked to see their phone company I.D.s they said that they left them in their truck and tried to run away. All 4 were arrested either in the building or w/ in blocks of the building.

couldn't show ID and the office knew they were not having telephone problems, the Marshals that guard the federal building called the FBI.
I've been there, that office building has very good security. You have to sign in, show ID and tell where you are going and for what purpose. It isn't just going through metal detectors.
