James O’Keefe Pleads Guilty In Landrieu Office Break-In, Promises More Videos
James O’Keefe, the conservative videographer famous for his undercover investigations of community organizing group ACORN plead guilty today to entering federal property under false pretenses, along with four of his colleagues, for entering the offices of Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu and attempting to disconnect their phone lines, according to the AP. Also according to AP– and “developing at the Bigs”!– O’Keefe is not giving up on his investigative journalism career anytime soon.
O’Keefe was sentenced to three years probation and 100 hours of community service– along with a $1,500 fine– for entering the Louisiana offices of Sen. Landrieu without permission. The three other conservative activists who broke in with him were sentences to two years probation, 75 hours of community service and the same fine. But while O’Keefe expressed remorse for the transgression for which he pleaded guilty, he also said he was not planning on leaving his trade because of it, and teased that there is a new investigation set to be released “very soon.”
The last time O’Keefe successfully released a series of investigative videos, they showed the community organizing group ACORN helping him and accomplice Hannah Giles ship underaged sex workers from South America, causing Congress to vote against funding ACORN and, some say, the eventual disbanding of the group.
