A lot of this just doesnt add up. I have talked to James several times, and he never struck me as stupid. This plan, or screw up, just doesnt seem to be on his level.

Oh! You know him for real? I was just joking about what I said up there. ^^^^^^  :lmao:

Definitely WITH, I'd like to talk him out of it if I may.

Personally, I would have used some Cubans for the wire tapping job....ahem.

We'll just have to wait and see what happens, innocent until something or other, right?

And Mrs. Schad....conjugal visits.

I'm just sayin'.

Yep, in alll serousness, I smell a rat. I don't think Okeefe was stupid by any means and I kinda think he has had legal counsel through all of this. Wait and see.

*Based upon published species-wide averages of wing length and body mass, initial Strouhal estimates based on those averages and cross-species comparisons, the Lund wind tunnel study of birds flying at a range of speeds, and revised Strouhal numbers based on that study gives an estimate that the average cruising airspeed velocity of an unladen European Swallow is roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles an hour.

Maybe. I still think Cubans would have been the way to go. After the dry run at Watergate my money says they've totally got their act together by now.

I wonder if this wasn't a govt led operation all along, just to "get" this guy.

Interesting, the conspiracy-minded side of me is racing. Let's say that Okeefe was trying to make a name for himself and perhaps not fully vested in this endeavor and he has huge dirt on the Obama machine. The gmen step in because they have to keep this quiet. They put the real fear of big government into Okeefe and get him to agree to this half-baked wire tapping arrest so as to discredit him. I say half baked because did they have any equipment on them? Wire tapping has come a long way from unscrewing the receiver and sticking a little doo-hicky in the phone.  :whatever: Anyway, the charges are dropped and as far as the public is concerned, Okeefe is just slapped on the wrist. But his reputation has been irreversibly tarnished.

Just a thought. Feel free to critique.  :evillaugh: I admit, there are holes.

It's Louisiana. He probably figured it was the way it's done down there. And it is. You just can't get caught doing it. Or, if caught, you need to have enough dough and/or connections to get out of it.

schadie,

James is a cute geek. If I wasnt so old, I'd have flirted it up w/ him. Just saw a new clip w/ him saying "The truth will set me free." Okkkay....He is either a drama queen, or into some deep poo. At least he's out on bond. For now. Also, hearing more info about the other guys. These guys werent stupid, either. Weird.

There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it. A politician who portrays himself as caring and sensitive because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he is willing to do good with other people's money. Well, who isn't? And a voter who takes pride in supporting such programs is telling us that he will do good with his own money— if a gun is held to his head.

I need to look up that clip, the optimist says he has something really huge on these crooks and the pessimist smells a set up. I'm interested in knowing how you met him, I love a good story. Feel free to drop me a PM.   :-)
