O’Keefe is looking better and better…

…particularly when the US Attorney on the case is rescuing himself from the case.

Even more interesting is the time lag in the announcement. This happened the very next day yet it wasn’t announced. Hot Air asks:

One wonders why they waited so long to announce it. The press release is still not available on the Web site of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Louisiana’s Eastern District.

Mike Barnicle’s assessment of “Bad Parenting” when describing O’Keefe on Morning Joe today might have to be revised as may my “Wheel of Fish” award. I’m no lawyer but Ann Althouse is and she asks the 64,000 question:

The charge against O’Keefe is entering federal property under false pretenses for the purpose of committing a felony. What felony does the government say they intended to commit?

This is starting to head into Bill Sparkman territory.

I wonder if Jim Letten’s recusel will make the front page of the NY Times above the fold?

O’Keefe explanation sounds plausable…

…and it would be consistent with his previous actions.

I’m not a lawyer but i’ll wager it’s still a violation of federal law, that’s a Bozo no-no.

However it does looks like this TPM post seems to be confirming Patterico earlier one.

Not enough to retract the Wheel of Fish but we will see.

Oh BTW take a look that the bottom of TPM they seem to be going all O’Keefe all the time, it would seem it is the only card the left has to play these days.

Mr. O’Keefe should have remembered the words of President Cleveland… Award Retracted

He said:

A Democratic Thief is as bad as a republican one.

One doesn’t want to pre-judge a case but to say the least it doesn’t look good. There is no question that if they were trying to bug a Senator’s office that would be a federal offense.

One should not get the idea that you can violate law with impunity. Of course it’s not the organized corruption of ACORN. We seem to be dealing with a bunch of 20 somethings who are too full of themselves. Unlike the ACORN films this is one story involving Mr. O’Keefe that will not be ignored by the MSM.

As Ann Althouse’s commentator says O’Keefe deserves the gratitude of the nation for his Acorn expose, but lets be frank, if this had been a democrat breaking in to a republican’s office we would be all over him. A reasonable person would conclude that this stinks and stinks badly.

Of course a reasonable person given the early evidence would have concluded a certain gentleman was murdered in Kentucky so if people want to withhold judgment that’s up to them. For me I gotta call ’em as I seem em and from what I’m currently seeing O’Keefe joins John Edwards in the as a winner of the “Wheel of Fish” award.

If subsequent facts prove me wrong then I’ll retract it.

Update: Breitbart comes out swinging

Update 2 : I think the egg is on my face in 35 days or so of this story O’Keefe has been looking better and better and the MSM has looked like a bunch of fools. Consider the Wheel of Fish award retracted.

That’s one good get.

Good and fair article but she keeps calling Hanna her “Accomplice” that implies wrongdoing.

Joe talks about how it is amazing that he could do this, I can’t help but think of Kung Fu:

Old man how is it that you hear these things

Young man how is it you do not?

MSM how is it you did not do what he did?
