| James O'Keefe the ACORN Killer is Off Probation - Lookout Libs |
| 2013-07-25 |
| Watch out, fraudsters. James O'Keefe is celebrating coming off federal probation with a New York Times best-seller, “Breakthrough: Our Guerrilla War to Expose Fraud and Save Democracy.” When provocateur-journalist Mr. O’Keefe was arrested in early 2010 in Louisiana for misrepresenting himself at a federal building, the full weight of the government and the mainstream media fell on him and his compatriots. The American left breathed a collective sign of relief. The wicked pimp was dead. Or so they thought. If Mr. O'Keefe had his day in court, his footage, the proof of his craft, would set him free. However, by some strange happenstance, Mr. O'Keefe’s video, taken from him upon arrest was destroyed. How convenient. As a result, Mr. O'Keefe took the deal. Where was the free press? Sadly, Mr. O'Keefe writes, “This was acknowledged during my sentencing hearing on May 26, 2010, with ABC News and Fox News in attendance, but no one saw fit to report this destruction of critical exculpatory evidence.” It’s worth noting the U.S. attorney who prosecuted Mr. O'Keefe later resigned in disgrace for leaking information about other people — the very thing Mr. O'Keefe had reason to think they were doing to him. |
