Democrats this in now your chance to investigate the 21st century version...

[Aviation Pro]

...of Watergate.

With the arrest of known scumbag motherfucker O'Keefe it's time to follow the money to the source of the scumbagism.

Do not let this slip away in the fog that is the mind of the average voter.

Start the investigation now.

3. first, the scumbag US Attorney needs to recuse himself since his son is among the accused.

Otherwise, nothing will come of it.

9. Flanagan is US Attorney for the WESTERN District, NO is in the EASTERN District

But it gets better:

Robert Flanagan

Flanagan is the son of William Flanagan, the acting U.S. Attorney for the western district of Louisiana. Which makes it rather awkward that he was arrested in, and is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney for, the eastern district of Louisiana. The elder Flanagan ascended to the gig just one week ago after his Bush-appointed boss left office; none other than Sen. Mary Landrieu has submitted recommendations for his replacement to the White House. UPDATE: And Obama has nominated Landrieu's recommendation, Stephanie Finley. But Sen. David Vitter has placed a hold on Finley's confirmation because he wants assurances from the White House that Jim Letten, the U.S. Attorney who will be overseeing Flanagan's prosecution, won't be replaced. In other words, Flanagan's dad only has a job because the job of the guy who's prosecuting his son is in potential jeopardy. Vitter wants Obama to re-nominate Letten, a step that Landrieu says is redundant seeing as how he already has the job. Louisiana politics.
