I hope they can track where O'Keefe's equipment got purchased and who bought it

[eleny]

There was a bunch of stuff they used - listening device, camera in the hat. So it might be revealing to know where they got all the stuff. Probably gathered it themselves. But it would be important to track down to see if anyone else provided it.

9. Precisely...

I want to know who paid for the equipment and any other expenses.

I'm not going to hold my breath... I'm still waiting to hear who paid for the Teabaggers Express buses.

3. Shuster today said

...the listening device was pretty much a walkie-talkie or cell phone with that capability. Really, the kind of stuff they wanted to do probably didn't require anything fancy.

The point is they committed fraud and deliberately attempted to commit a felony.

5. So what they did wasn't already a felony?

Just wondering because of the way you phrased it. I've been out most of the day. Maybe I missed some new news.

Edited to add: KO just said it was 4 felonies. :hi:

10. One thing my sister (DPS trooper) says not only who bought it but

WHERE!!! If it can be proven the device was bought OUTSIDE LA this will add on substantial time, if the planning was done outside LA or especially if over phone from different states it just keep adding on and the feds may add each phone call as a separate offense.

13. Yipes! And thanks for your reply. That's some good information

They really are in deep poop.
