Democrats have used trained provocateurs to instigate violence at Republican events nationwide throughout the 2016 election cycle, including at several Donald Trump rallies, using a tactic called “bird-dogging,” according to a new video investigation released Monday by James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas.
The goal of “bird-dogging”: to create a sense of “anarchy” around Donald Trump that would undermine his political support. Often, the tactic uses the most vulnerable people — including the elderly and disabled — to maximize shock value.
O’Keefe’s extensive video investigation reveals that the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) are involved in “bird-dogging” and other provocative tactics through a web of consultants led by Robert Creamer, a veteran Chicago activist and convicted felon who is thought to have planned Democrats’ political strategy during the push for Obamacare in 2009 and 2010.
Creamer is also the co-founder of Democracy Partners, a consulting group that, according to Project Veritas videos, apparently contracts directly with the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC, and that works with an array of super PACs and consultants to organize, film and publicize their provocations.

Creamer affirms on one video that Clinton is aware of “all” of his work, and that Democracy Partners has a daily telephone call with the Clinton campaign to coordinate efforts.
O’Keefe and his team also obtained hidden camera videos showing one of Creamer’s consultants, Scott Foval, describing “bird-dogging,” among other tactics, and taking credit for having instigated violence at several Republican events during the 2016 election cycle.
Foval — who praises Creamer as “diabolical” — explains how “bird-dogging” works: how they plan confrontations in advance, choose particular individuals to provoke, and maximize media coverage.

Have there been any arrests in any of these confrontations. Technically attacking anyone like this is premeditated intent to do bodily harm. . . IMHO.
Just did a Google news search for “bird-dogging”.
Absolute blackout from msm - 6 hours and running.
I’m sure if the Trump campaign hired homeless people to start fights at political rallies, the same would be true.
This really needs to make it to MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC etc.
Otherwise it’s just a kuster-copulation ...

That is the sound of jingling coins to hungry class action lawyers. It could also be the impetus for criminal civil rights prosecutions. Let us hope.
There are severe laws on the books that make what happened to Trump in Chicago and other places illegal. See #1 below.
Then, there are severe laws for those involved in conspiracies against political events. So DNC rectums sitting in front of their computers organizing and ordering actions like what has happened to Trump in the past months could find themselves facing severe fines and jail time.
Mediots on TV and hired pundits on the internet pushing or dog whistling violence against Trump and Trump supporter are guilty. See #2 below.
#1: For one thing, the law makes it easier for the government to criminalize protest. Period. It is a federal offense, punishable by up to 10 years in prison to protest anywhere the Secret Service might be guarding someone. For another, it’s almost impossible to predict what constitutes “disorderly or disruptive conduct” or what sorts of conduct authorities deem to “impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions.”
#2: There is another interesting Code/law that applies the conspiracy/violation of peaceful assembly and free speech.
18 U.S. Code § 241 - Conspiracy against rights If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; ....
They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 696; Pub. L. 90–284, title I, § 103(a), Apr. 11, 1968, 82 Stat. 75; Pub. L. 100–690, title VII, § 7018(a), (b)(1), Nov. 18, 1988, 102 Stat. 4396; Pub.

L. 104–294, title VI, §§ 604(b)(14)(A), 607(a), Oct. 11, 1996, 110 Stat. 3507, 3511.)
It’s on Drudge now.
“This really needs to make it to MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC etc.”
Nobody in the MSM, print or broadcast, will take this story! Even the Faux boys, are almost 100% in the tank for the witch! But then again, how many people get their news exclusively from the local paper, or the alphabet networks? GET IT ON THE INTERNET, and make it viral on social media, and Trump should bring it up at the DEBATE!!!
It’s not at SOME Trump rallies; these people say it’s at EVERY Trump rally. It’s just that they’ve only been able to actually incite violence at some of them.
O’Keefe is saying that media companies have blacklisted this because they are afraid of what Hillary’s DOJ would do. Idiots! Scaredy-cat media heads, if you expose this there won’t BE any Hillary DOJ!! That’s the whole point! Stand up and fight, dang it!! You know we’re in a banana republic and that if Hillary gets in it will be the end of ANY semblance of even PRETENDING to have the rule of law. It will literally be Hell on earth. So why the heck won’t you fight it?! Come on!!!

Yeah, they are going to run it. Like that's going to happen, this year, this century, in your life time, before the Sun goes cold...
Democrats trained and paid agents provocateur to disrupt Republican rallies. People, attendees as well as police, were injured at these rallies, and at least one rally was canceled due to violence.
The Democrats then go on to complain about the violence and blame Trump for creating an “environment”.
A couple of police officers were injured in Chicago ...... would think there might be a couple of charges there !!!! ... of course that’s a Dem rathole that should slide into Lake Michigan!!!!
Given the current state of things today, even if they did, apparently nobody outside of the conservative blogosphere would care or pay attention anyway.

I kind of wish I was able to say this surprises me.
It doesn’t.
I’ve known union folks were out there supporting this type of activity for the last decade. I’ve seen them at large public events. They won’t hesitate to do damage to the supporters of people they don’t like.
It’s intimidating, and I won’t ask people to go out and mix it up with them. They’d just as soon give you a lifetime injury as look at you.
People like this need to be locked up and placed in a dark hole for eternity.
Pulled up Drudge Report and searched on the site for ‘O’Keefe Video’ and the most recent listing is for July 15, 2016. Some Twitter comments have alluded to viewing the most rescent video on Drudge, after others had questioned it’s absence for the last 24.
Isn’t Drudge mirrored on many servers? Could the content be different based on compromised mirrors?
It is fiiinally up on Drudge...upper left corner bottom of stack...Deserves a siren—no idea why Drudge took 7 hours to post it...sheesh really disappointing!@
So everybody should go click on it...make it trend on YouTube!!
Post link—not showing up on version of Drudge I can pull up. Do we need a clearing house for working pages, which not all DNS look-up are showing?
