Like Fishing W/ Hand Grenades

A law perfesser asks:
The charge against O'Keefe is entering federal property under false pretenses for the purpose of committing a felony. What felony does the government say they intended to commit?
Oh, how would a law professor find such a thing? And whatever might it be?

Why, little old section 1362, that's what:
Whoever … willfully or maliciously interferes in any way with the working or use of any [radio, telegraph, telephone or cable, line, station, or system, or other means of communication, operated or controlled by the United States], or attempts or conspires to do such an act, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.

  3. That word "willfully" could be exploited by a skillful attorney as it means that the perp is capable of planning and stuff.

    Good thing you did not decide to use your powers to become a lawyer for evil.
