I hate these “crying wolf” breaking stories. Just do it without the announcement, and I’ll be convinced.

No kidding. And if I see another “You won’t believe what happened next” story on FB my head will explode.

It looks like O’KEEFE is going up the chain of command.

Crying Wolf? Have you seen his last two stories that cost some operatives their jobs?

He said earlier he has HRC on video!

Teasers are fine as long as the goods are delivered. Don’t be impatient - O’Keefe earned some benefit-of-doubt here, wouldn’t you agree?

Not convinced? This guy is coming through big time. Have you not seen the videos? And the MSM..slowly but surely... are playing them because they really have no choice, not with social media being what it is.

Watch the two videos Okeefe has produced so far.

Then reflect that one of the main players featured in the video, has (per the White House’s own online logs) visited the WH 340 times, and met with Obama personally dozens of times.

“Crying wolf” my hairy butt. O’Keefe has done more real journalism than 99+% of the “established” media.

Did you watch the Veritas video? I watched it, and I think it is the most significant political event of our lives. (rather, it should be)

This is insane.

I just went to 10 major news outlet websites (NYTimes, LATimes, Washington Post, CNN, USA Today, Boston Globe, Seattle PI, San Francisco Chronicle, etc.) and out of those, I found two that had a single reference “below the fold” on their main page, and out of those, they were very bland. You would overlook them.

To recognize the extent of the media double-standard, imagine some conservative “operatives” were taped saying the things these liberal scumbag bragged about, and that logs showed they had been to the Bush or Reagan White House hundreds of times for several hours and more, meeting directly with the President on many of them. Additionally, one of the people is a known felon with a significant record.

Just imagine what the media coverage would be like for that, with the video. It would be the main above-the-fold coverage, with extensive video and commentary, debates about how damaging this is to the Republican party and the Administration, on and on and on.

But, we have this.

I think this is one of the most significant political stories of our lifetimes, and look how it is being treated. If there is no traction on this, our country is indeed done for, cooked, and we better start planning appropriately.

> Just do it without the announcement, and I’ll be convinced.

I’ve been feeling that for months. On the other hand, doing it this way,
1) Hillary can’t deny current videos if the possibility of proof may come out.
2) They are going through a lot of depends (and time and money) interviewing their own staff and reviewing their processes and money movements in order to prepare for what might be coming out (even if it ends up being nothing)
3) The number of people they can trust has gotten VERY small. So many people may have helped in the videos - either unintentionally, but now wanting to protect their own ass, or even worse, intentionally. Their own people could go to the police or media to try to stay out of jail (or just to wake up tomorrow). I’d guess there are LOTs of people (possibly up to Obama) trying to figure out how to make themselves looks best without much concern for other parties.
4) Based on the quick firings they KNOW illegal stuff was going on. They can make mistakes trying to distance themselves or cover it up, when they don’t even know what they need to cover up. If all videos came out they’d know exactly what they need to cover up but this way they need to account for everything they find in point 2 even if O’Keefe doesn’t have it.
5) taunting tweets reinforce all of this pressure.

I’m sure that all the people criticizing O’Keefe for not doing a better job would be SO much better at investigative reporting that he and his team.

I guess you’re all secretly working on exposes of government and dem corruption. Let us all know when your videos come out.
