SocraticGadfly: Is Breitbart a criminal?

Is Breitbart a criminal?

Conservative agent provacateur Andrew Breitbart still refuses to release full, unedited tapes of his staffers various "punkings" of ACORN offices, despite yet another prosecutor's office finding yet another ACORN office innocent of all criminal allegations.

The prosecutors found, in part, the tapes presented as "evidence" were heavily edited.
A law enforcement source ... : "(James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles) edited the tape to meet their agenda."

Does such editing approach the level of giving a false statement to police, which is itself a criminal offense in every state in the nation?

Perhaps that's why Breitbart, at the same link, refuses to say why he won't release unedited tapes, and stumbles over the entire question.

Or, a lawsuit worry might be on Breitbart's mind. I can see an action against him, for authorizing O'Keefe/Giles, and the two of them, of course, for defamation.
