O'Keefe also Spoke at St. Louis Tea Party Rally
Arrested: Man Who Made Secret ACORN Videos, Spoke at St. Louis Tea Party Rally
By Chad Garrison in News, PoliticsWed., Jan. 27 2010 @ 7:30AM
O'Keefe and accomplice Hannah Giles as pimp and prostitute.
​Last year 25-year-old James O'Keefe created an uproar when he and a friend dressed like a pimp and prostitute and videotaped themselves getting advice from ACORN on how the pair could receive housing assistance to run a brothel.

O'Keefe's clandestine videos of his conversations with ACORN led Congress to cut some federal funding for the agency. The videos also propelled Okeefe to hero status among political conservatives.

Case in point: Just last November, O'Keefe was in St. Louis serving as a keynote speaker before a crowd of some 4,000 Tea Party members at a downtown rally. (Video below.)

2. I hope they picked up his computer. The feds have conspiracy laws

That allow the FBI to charge everybody in your phonebook. Also there's NO PAROLE in federal prison.
Ten years is ten years but they could get more than that by "stacking" the charges.

I suspect he has done this before. All Dem phones should be checked.

4. Do he and his friends have jobs/income?
Who is supporting them? That's the bottom line in all of this (besides the criminal issue that is).
