Juan Carlos, page 9 of the first transcript, after the crime of saying "yeah and uhuh" STILL does not know what these people are asking of him. I'm even more disgusted after reading the transcript. Vera is guilty of taking information and saying yeah on several occasions.
Juan Vera, at one point, takes a phone number, again, seemingly not knowing what they want from him. And as others have pointed out, on page 25 of the first transcript, O'keefe and Giles claim to be afraid because Juan Vera wanted information and then said he works with the D.A.!
What things do you need from me in terms of like the shipment information. What can I give you, what information would you further need would help you in, in advice you would give me?
Juan Carlos: The location.
James: The location?
Juan Carlos: Yeah.
James: Where, whereabouts like what type like the city? State? What do you need?
Juan Carlos: Ahhh the location, they gonna, they ga afternoon.
James: That’s fine. Any time after five works actually.
Juan Carlos: Ok, James: So what information do you need from me the location where the girls are being shipped? Juan Carlos: Yeah.
James: What else?
Juan Carlos: And I need that its possible to maybe I like dis is you say private.

Continued on page 26
James: Well then that’s, that’s not good.
Juan Carlos: Yeah, that’s not good but le me, le me see. I think I want to send an email to you.
James: Okay. Juan Carlos: I’m gonna send email what you’re looking for.
Eden/Hannah: You know but how do we know like, honestly like I don’t feel very comfortable right now.
Like, I just like gave you a bunch of info and I don’t know if we trust you like.
James: Oh, that, that they said, they said that ACORN was a. they’re different then the banks.
Eden/Hannah: I know but like I’m still scared. I don’t know
On page 4 of the second transcript, Giles and O'Keefe continue to express feigned concern?
Alright. And, I’m trusting you but, you’re, you’re not going to go and tell you’re DA Friends right? Cause…
Your police friends you just told me about.
JC - No, ah, I have, have two polices is my, is my family.
Oh, it’s your family? It’s not through…
JC- No, it’s my cousins. I, I never, I never see my cousins…I see them only at parties.
Yeah.
But this ah, this conversation is never, never, never go on.
JC - (trying to brush them off) Thank you. Trust the Mexican people, Man!
HG - (batting her eyelashes, and playing the victim) I mean it’s hard to trust a man.
I mean, I trust him nut for me it’s really hard.
JC - Yeah?
Yeah,
JC - (further demonstrating his language barrier) Yeah but trust me. I, I, I don’t have a uh how do you say for affect (?) somebody.
You don't have what?
JC - I don't, I don't, I don't have how do you say like out to get somebody? I, I, I don't why I talk to somebody for this you know
Okay.
Giles and O'Keefe weren't the only people trying to ascertain information that may be incriminating, as Mr. Vera tried to get information on the girls who were supposedly coming in so called containers, and HE REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO POLICE! No where, in any of these transcripts did he offer to help smuggle anyone into the country! He may have suggested a location so that he knew what to tell the D.A. He took names, numbers and emails and he played along saying something about having contacts in Mexico.
And again, the BOTTOM LINE is, he contacted police.
