James O'Keefe has to ask his parole officer if it's OK before he can go to CPAC

[ck4829]

Thanks to the courts, he’s stuck in Jersey. But conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe is desperately trying to claw his way to the Conservative Political Action Conference.

O’Keefe told Yeas & Nays he’s in the process of petitioning his parole officer to let him cross state lines to make the big event Thursday where he will be awarded the “XPAC Annual Award for Impact” for cracking ACORN with his pimp suit and, of course, his most recent attempt at high jinks in the office of Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La.

“We’re having this e-mail exchange right now, actually,” O’Keefe said about his correspondence with his parole officer.

O’Keefe isn’t on complete lockdown — he did spend Presidents Day on the ski slopes of New Jersey. But for a trip to the District for CPAC to join his cohort Hannah Giles, he’ll have to beg.

“But hopefully I should be able to make it down to D.C. on Thursday,” he said.

If he can’t make an appearance, he plans to do a prerecorded or satellite interview with Town Hall’s Kevin McCullough that will appear Friday.

2. what about avoiding places where other criminals gather?

isnt that usually a stipulation of parole

[nykym]

3. Does anybody know

his parole officer? We could email his PO to let him know how much we disapprove of someone under indictment receiving an award for criminal behavior..

4. Just get in a car and go, James.

You're an investigative journalist who bends the law to uncover the truth. You're a bad-ass! What do you care what your parole officer says? Go for it.

5. A VOP would be delicious. Go James, you're too good to have

to ask permission for anything....LOL.

6. Let him go. He'll probably only dig the hole he's in deeper.

There will be plenty of recording devices at CPAC. I'm sure he'll put his foot in his mouth at some point.

[Canuckistanian]

7. That's right

I can't believe how much he's flapping his gums while the prosecutor is quietly amassing a library of evidence against him.

[Ganja Ninja]

9. How would you like to be one of his co-defendants?

I'd want to wring his neck about now.:evilgrin:

[Kingofalldems]

8. Let his punk ass go and brag about his latest exploits to the freepers

And hopefully the prosecutor will take note and deal with O'Keeffe accordingly.

10. If he's a "filmmaker" that must mean that I'm DGA certified director!

Filmmaker....

11. If Blago couldn't leave his state to be on a TV show

then O'Keefe shouldn't leave his state to go to a political rally.

[CanonRay]

12. He's not on parole, he hasn't been convicted yet

It's pre-trial services.

13. CPAC: Mr O'keefe cannot accept the award tonight because it would be a violation of his parole.

[ashling]

14. Put a wire on him

:puke:

15. He ain't on parole.

Parole is granted after you've been convicted, served part of your sentence, and been granted early conditional release. You basically serve the rest of your sentence on the outside. That's parole. At least that's parole here in California. Maybe it's different in Jersey.
