Charges reduced in phone caper at senator's office
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Federal prosecutors filed reduced charges Friday against conservative activist James O'Keefe and three others who were accused of trying to tamper with the phones in Sen. Mary Landrieu's New Orleans office.
The new charges are contained in a bill of information, which can only be filed with a defendant's consent and typically signals a plea deal. The new filing charges the four with entering a federal building under false pretenses, a misdemeanor. They had been arrested Jan. 25 on felony charges.

Gee, guess it wasn't a modern day Watergate after all, was it?

Like the "bugs" and remote controls in a car a block away, and Karl Rove getting his start bugging people's offices....

Guess the fact that they didn't have the Nixon White House to run interference for them means there's nothing wrong with what they did.

incredibly over exaggerated. Not exactly the crime of the century, though some were trying to portray it as such.

Nothing but federal harassment!
Sen. Mary Landrieu's had it coming.
It isn't as if they hacked her "personal" email
