Hannah Giles' Old Pal Gets Arrested

Prior to today, James O'Keefe was best known as the guy who captured video footage that proved corruption was occuring within the ACORN program. He was praised by conservatives for his efforts and became something of a hero among the right, but now he may be losing some credibility after his arrest today.
Hannah Giles once dresses as a prostitute to help James O'Keefe with a different story.O'Keefe, along with three other people, was arrested yesterday for trying to bug the phone system of Democratic Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu. According to Nola.com, he was charged with entering federal property under false pretenses with the intent of committing a felony.
Apparently O'Keefe sat in Landrieu's office and claimed he was waiting for someone while two of the other guys came in dressed as telephone company employees. O'Keefe admitted to recording their entrance on his cell phone before a GSA employee asked the guys for credentials -- which obviously they didn't have. They were then arrested.
Landrieu's office hasn't commented, but ACORN rep Kevin Whelan said the events made O'Keefe look less credible. Last year O'Keefe dressed as a pimp and recorded ACORN employees giving him advice on how to get away with an underage prostitution scheme.
O'Keefe and the others were released from jail yesterday afternoon and must go to pre-trial services tomorrow morning.
