US Attorney in O’Keefe Case Steps Down

Andrew Breitbart was on Fox News earlier explaining why he was standing up for James O’Keefe. I was pretty amazed at what I heard.

Big Government reports:

James O’Keefe sat in jail for 28 hours without access to an attorney, while the U.S. attorney leaked the information about his arrest, helping the media frame it as ‘Watergate Junior,’” Breitbart said.

Nice, the Undiebomber got more protection by our legal system than James O’Keefe.

O’Keefe, accused of trying to tamper with the phones of Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu, was “framed” by the media and the U.S. attorney’s office, Andrew Breitbart, publisher of BigGovernment.com, told Fox News Monday.

Hours later, Jim Letten, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana, recused himself from the case.

The Department of Justice announced the change in a news release Monday night, but did not say why Letten wanted off the case.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence. Really.
