Targets of O'Keefe sting, Hollywood big shots ask FBI to investigate
American Thinker ^ | 05/22 | Paul Bond

Posted on 05/22/2014 7:30:34 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

A video created by conservative media guerilla James O'Keefe, that showed Hollywood big shots willing to receive funding from Arabs to make an anti-Fracking movie while hiding the source of the funds, has engendered a "tremendous amount of fallout" according to actor Ed Begley, one of the targets in the film.

Now others who were outed as hypocrites want the FBI to investigate whether O'Keefe broke any laws when making the film.

Hollywood Reporter:

Filmmakers who were targets of an undercover sting operation by James O'Keefe have filed a criminal complaint with police and have asked the FBI to determine whether federal laws were broken when the journalist surreptitiously recorded phone calls and a lunch meeting, a spokesman for movie producers Josh and Rebecca Tickell said Wednesday.

I can confirm that this matter has been reported to federal and local law enforcement for investigation of whether certain state and federal laws were violated," said Jonathan Franks, a managing partner at Lucid Public Relations.

Franks also said that police are looking into a disturbing phone call placed Wednesday to the Tickells, who run Green Planet Prods. and produce award-winning environmental documentaries.

Typical asshole leftists. Ignore the actual crime or lack thereof and criminalize the process.

Actually, when it comes to O’Keefe they whine a lot, make threstening noises but then quietly let the whole thing drop once their lawyers tell them how much additional damage O’Keefe can do if taken to trial.

You mean they didn’t all for an investigation into the illegal recordings of a private conversation? WTH? Why, it’s almost like they’re hippo-crits.

DOUBLE DOWN! I would go nuclear on these D-BAG’s. They HATE this country. Make these 30 second ads and carpet bomb the airwaves. Get Conservative politicians to talk about the dirty deals in Hollywood. While there at it let America know that Hollywierd is one a PEDOPHILE hotspot.

They want to DESTROY us. Let’s DESTROY them.

This is just like any drug addict would act.

The bad guy isn’t the drug addict or his destructive behaviors -

the bad guy is the person that exposes it.

Leftists have never had any shame for their hypocrisy,

because their “end goal” is so righteous, it justifies anything to get there, including genocide.

Turnabout is fair play and I guess the old saying what goes around comes around is appropriate here.
