Three of four suspects who were arrested Monday for attempting to tamper with Sen. Mary Landrieu’s phones were released Wednesday afternoon, according to the Associated Press.
Two of the men posed as telephone repairmen to gain access to the senator’s phone lines. There is no word on whether the men were successful.
Three of the suspects were released today, one of whom is James O’Keefe, a conservative political activist who previously produced hidden-camera videos of ACORN officials giving illegal tax advice to a woman posing as a prostitute.
The fourth suspect, who was not with the three released today, is Robert Flanagan, the son of Shreveport-based acting U.S. Attorney Bill Flanagan.
