As Republican dirty trickster, and now convicted federal criminal, James O’Keefe is neither Middle-Eastern nor a member of the Democratic Party, he was allowed to plead guilty to just a misdemeanor today for leading a conspiracy of criminals — one of whom happened to be the son of the acting U.S. Attorney in Louisiana — in an attempt to tamper<\/a> with the telephone system of a sitting U.S. Senator in her federal office in New Orleans, before being sentenced accordingly this morning by a federal magistrate<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe and three compatriots today pleaded guilty to entering real property belonging to the United States under false pretenses for the January incident<\/a> in which they entered Sen. Mary Landrieu’s New Orleans office and claimed to be from the telephone company, the Times-Picayune<\/em> reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

O’Keefe was sentenced to three years of probation, a fine of $1,500 and 100 hours of community service. The others — Stan Dai, Joseph Basel, and Robert Flanagan — got the same fine, two years of probation, and 75 hours of community service.<\/p><\/div>\n
