James O'Keefe

James O'Keefe is an American conservative activist and journalist, who is a protege of Andrew Breitbart. He and Hannah Giles, posing as a pimp and a prostitute, videotaped the Baltimore, Maryland ACORN office giving them advice on starting a brothel, which triggered major scandals in late 2009. He and three other journalists have been arrested and charged, by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with interference with the telephones of the New Orleans, Louisiana offices of Senator Mary Landrieu (D-Louisiana).

While Michelle Malkin took no position on his guilt or innocence in the Landrieu incident, "This is neither a time to joke nor a time to recklessly accuse Democrats/liberals of setting this up — nor a time to whine about media coverage double standards...This is neither a time to joke nor a time to recklessly accuse Democrats/liberals of setting this up — nor a time to whine about media coverage double standards."
