From the Times-Picayune:

The FBI, alleging a plot to wiretap Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu’s office in downtown New Orleans, arrested four people Monday, including James O’Keefe, a conservative filmmaker whose undercover videos at ACORN field offices severely damaged the advocacy group’s credibility.
FBI Special Agent Steven Rayes alleges that O’Keefe aided and abetted two others, Joseph Basel and Robert Flanagan, who dressed up as employees of a telephone company and attempted to interfere with the office’s telephone system.
A fourth person, Stan Dai, was accused of aiding and abetting Basel and Flanagan. All four were charged with entering fedral property under false pretenses with the intent of committing a felony.
A witness from Landrieu’s staff said O’Keefe was present in the office and claimed to be “waiting for someone to arrive.”

Pimpin’ ain’t easy.

UPDATE: Politico has the affadavit.

UPDATE II: From the Washington Post:

Flanagan, 24, is the son of acting U.S. Attorney William J. Flanagan, who runs the Western District of Louisiana federal prosecutors’ office in Shreveport. U.S. Attorney Flanagan declined to comment through an office assistant.

UPDATE III: Another of the suspects in the Landrieu wire-tapping case is affiliated with a self-styled spy school. You’d have to think its reputation just took a considerable hit.

UPDATE IV: ACORN tweets: Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving soul. And Andrew Breitbart has a statement on the incident.

UPDATE V: The headline and wording of this post have been changed (as noted by the strikethrough above) to reflect the increasingly clear reality that the O’Keefe incident was not a case of “wire-tapping” or “bugging”.
