    I haven’t confirmed this, but I was listening to Chris Plante this morning and he said the FBI determined this is not a federal matter. Planning terrorist activities to disrupt inauguration events is not a federal matter??

    Perhaps the Fibbies just want any troubles to occur under the jurisdiction of the DC metro police. You know, that crack outfit that solved both the suicide of Vince Foster and went after that congressman in the Chandra Levy diappearance . . . /sarc

    If O’Keefe got punked it’s going to be interesting. I expect that he has ways of checking these things out.

    I do wonder how transparent these leftists that he goes after really are. They really do like to brag.

    But, remember how O’Keefe works:

    1. predict how the bad people are going to react to the first video,
    2. put out the first video that withholds some things but gets them to respond as predicted,
    3. sucker the people into denying things and explaining things,
    4. put out 2nd video showing how their response was full of lies,
    5. rinse and repeat as necessary.

    This was what O’Keefe learned from Andrew Breitbart.

    This is totally sickening. Maybe some of those bickers need a few stun guns to go through the crowds and take out some of the leader. The homeless are not going to hang around. What a pitiful way to use the homeless and poor who have no idea what in the heck is happening. I don’t remember any of this kind of garbage happening to Clinton and Obama.

    He spoke to Sean Hannity today, and supposedly was interrogated by FBI for 2 hours – they said all his info matched all of theirs – they know who these characters are, and their activities.  Hannity is trying to arrange an interview with O’Keefe and the anti-fascist dude or one of them, as O’Keefe said no one will have him on. Whether they hoaxed him or not, he follows the idea “see something, say something”.  He said they spoke of creating havoc, bought tickets to one of the events, and possibly causing a disturbance. He said he would rather be wrong than right.

    I guess that’s why he went to the FBI and they corroborated his information. Do you know of anyone who’d subject themselves to being questioned by the FBI for 2 hours? I could think of other things to do that would be less stressful….

    It just cracks me up that they met at Comet Pizza. Although if I suspected a member of my cell was a mole, that’s where I’d suggest we meet, so you could pass the whole thing off as a joke.

    Would it not be funny if Comet Pizza turned out to be everything the conspiracy guys say it is?

    Great point. Thanks for pointing that out.
