James O'Keefe does poorly for political campaigns what Sacha B. Cohen does well for laughs

I worked with some social workers who'd previously been employed at prisons, mental institutions, and the post office. One thing they told me really astounded me.

Inmates and enrollees figures out that if you filter liquid shoe polish through a loaf of bread (in the bag) they could pierce the bottom end and get alcohol or at least something that gave them a buzz.

It involves fermenting overripe fruit and sugar from packets with moldy bread and straining through an old t-shirt.

will mention it now -- what sort of work was Project Veritas doing for the Russians Manafort was connected with?

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100211049343


Paul Manafort worked with James O'Keefe (Project Veritas) and other info from evidence list

So I skimmed over the new Manafort case’s evidence list, and some emails jumped out.

Ones like:

1078 For your eyes only
1080 Confidential memo same password
1144 for your eyes only
1148 please read and reply with word doc encrypted

And my favorite in this group:1218 “you never saw this”

There are MANY emails that disprove his claim that all his lobbying was confined to Europe, such as:

1174 am working on USA matter
1175 I am told AK already spoke to the Senator
1318 this is an alternative version as well, a bit more American

PLUS many reported contacts with members of Congress on both sides of the aisle (including Dems like Durbin whose positions Manafort opposed)

For some reason he didn’t register as FARA, even though he was aware of the requirement:

1632 FARA issue
1634 Letter re LDA vs. FARA filing
2018 FARA issues
2019 FARA issues

And here is an interesting little surprise – Paul Manafort worked with James O’Keefe.

1350 Project Veritas contract
1371 Project Veritas
1395 Project Veritas long view
1407 Project Veritas 2013
2062 Project Veritas communication strategy
