Little (would-be) bugger Flanagan interned for Sen. Lamar Alexander, Rep. Mary Fallin One of the four men arrested for allegedly trying to bug Mary Landrieu's office interned for Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) in 2007, according to his LinkedIn profile. The following year, Robert Flanagan worked as a paid intern for Republican Rep. Mary Fallin of OK. His duties included "brief legislative staff on issues of national security and international relations." In the summer of 2008, Flanagan volunteered for Chris Gorman's campaign in Shreveport, LA.
As you may have read, Robert's father, William, is an acting U.S. Attorney based in Shreveport.
Like his co-accused James O'Keefe, Stan Dai, and Joseph Basel, Flanagan appears to be a well-connected movement conservative.
I'm reposting Robert Flanagan's LinkedIn profile below the fold.
