Liberal Group Looks to 'Out' James O'Keefe's Project Veritas Operatives

‘Project Veritas Exposed’ is putting a face on James O’Keefe’s employees.

A few months before the 2016 election, an undercover operative working for conservative sting-meister James O’Keefe posed as an intern to infiltrate Democracy Partners, a Democratic consulting group.

The O’Keefe associate captured footage that—after undergoing O’Keefe’s thorough editing—appeared to show staffers at the firm discussing potential voter fraud schemes. In the aftermath, one Democracy Partners staffer was fired, and the group’s founder resigned.

Lauren Windsor, then an associate at the firm, had a front-row seat to the deception—and the fallout. She then decided to try and stop O’Keefe and his group, Project Veritas, from doing it again.

Windsor began cataloguing everything she knew about Project Veritas and the O’Keefe operative that had infiltrated Democracy Partners. The project began as prep work for potential litigation, but Windsor eventually circulated it privately among other liberal activists. Now the dossiers Windsor created on operatives associated with O’Keefe and Project Veritas have grown into “Project Veritas Exposed,” a collection of online profiles and—more importantly for O’Keefe’s targets—pictures of people known to work with O’Keefe.

Exposing them to the light will send them scurrying and eventually shut them down.

O’Keefe is vile, he reminds me of Stephen Miller and Karl Rove. The only way they can feel pleasure is to fill their empty souls with the anguish of those they victimize.

one way to stop this guy or at least mitigate the damage he causes is for the DNC to have a security team following organizations such as his, then notifying all Democratic candidates of the danger, including profiles of every known operative within such groups. It's sad we must resort to even discussing this injustice, but until congress passes laws which have teeth to stop this type of tyranny and they PROSECUTE the perpetrators, O'keefe and his ilk will continue to wreak as much damage to our democracy as is possible.
