St Louis Escorts: Two of the “Landrieu Four” made recent cameos in St. Louis
Two of the “Landrieu Four” made recent cameos in St. Louis
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Half of the quartet of young men who were arrested this week on suspicion of tampering with a U.S. Senator’s telephone system were familiar faces to conservative activists in St. Louis.
The most notable of the four was James O’Keefe, who made national headlines last year after his surreptitious recordings revealed workers in the community group ACORN offering tax advice to a pair — O’Keefe and female partner — posing as prostitute and pimp.
O’Keefe is accused of organizing a scheme to get two accomplices — posing as repairman — access to the telephone system in the New Orleans office of Louisiana Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu. While some have suggested O’Keefe intended to tap Landrieu’s phone, the motive remains unclear.
