The conservative young filmmaker whose undercover sting damaged a liberal activist group last year faces federal criminal charges in an alleged plot to bug the New Orleans office of Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.).

James O’Keefe was among four men who created a ruse to enter the lawmaker’s downtown office, saying they needed to repair her telephones, according to court records unsealed Tuesday. O’Keefe used his cellphone to take pictures of two men, Joseph Basel and Robert Flanagan, who are accused in an FBI agent’s sworn affidavit of impersonating telephone company workers. Stanley Dai is accused of aiding the plot.

All four were taken to a suburban New Orleans jail and charged with entering federal property under false pretenses with the intent of committing a felony. If convicted, each man faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of $250,000.

This is the same guy that republicans wanted to honor with a resolution in Congress, for the "fact-finding reporting" done by Hannah Giles and James O'Keefe....seems they may have attempted to honor a felon.

One thing I have learned from watching such things play out. You embarrass or have the potential to embarrass  a powerful man, you will pay for it either preemptively or in retaliation.
