Project Veritas Founder Is Under Investigation, and the Organization Is In Shambles – Mother Jones

In February, O'Keefe stepped down from his role as chairman and CEO of Project Veritas amid concerns from the board about his spending and complaints from staff about his leadership style. (It has been a huge mess.) 

O'Keefe left the organization in shambles. Last month, former board member Matthew Tyrmand resigned and threatened to air dirt on O'Keefe, publicly calling him a "lying sack of shit" and a "fkn scumbag." Such talk doesn't tend to reflect well on an organization...

Liberal Groups Fear James O’Keefe Election Sting

"... In reality, according to beleaguered Sonoma County Registrar of Voters Deva Marie Proto, the election documents in the dumpster didn't have anything to do with 2020. Proto tells The Daily Beast that the "ballots" in the trash can were in fact extra mail-in ballot envelopes from 2018, rather than ballots or envelopes for 2020. "They have no relation to the current election at all," Proto said. That hasn't stopped the trashed envelopes from becoming more grist for the right's quest for ballot fraud. While the Gateway Pundit story gains traction on the right, The Blaze personality Elijah Schaffer's own post about the supposed destroyed ballots has received nearly 8,000 retweets. "These are original photos sent to me," Schaffer tweeted. "Big if true."

President Posts Videos By Conservative Activist Known For Misleading Editing -- TPM

President Donald Trump is on a mission to raise hell about CNN's supposed bias against him. And in his latest salvo, the President posted on Instagram two new videos released by conservative activist James O'Keefe. O'Keefe and his Project Veritas outlet are infamous for their selective and often misleading editing in expose-style "undercover" videos: interview subjects don't know they're being interviewed on tape, and their remarks are likely used out of context. In O'Keefe's recent "American... http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/trump-posts-project-veritas-cnn-video
