O'Keefe said in a telephone interview with CNN on Wednesday that he has "a few hundred hours" of "secretly recorded material" from inside the network. "We're calling it CNN Leaks," he said, drawing inspiration from WikiLeaks' document dumps.
He said "part one" would be published Thursday at about 10 a.m. ET. "This is all legally recorded information," he said, declining to be more specific.
O'Keefe, who uses undercover stings to trap his targets, has a reputation for shady tactics and exaggerated statements.
Some of his so-called exposés have relied on misleading editing techniques. And an incident in 2010 landed him in legal trouble. After he was arrested at Senator Mary Landrieu's office, O'Keefe pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for entering federal property under false pretenses. He was sentenced to three years of probation, plus community service and a fine.
Given his track record, many consider O'Keefe discredited, and not a serious journalist. . .

CNN in full ass covering mode....this should be good
“O’Keefe, who uses undercover stings to trap his targets, has a reputation for shady tactics and exaggerated statements.”
LOL. Coming from a dirt bag CNN fake news stooge that is solid gold comedy.
Isn’t this tactic what made 60 Minutes famous, the ambush interviews?
When they attack the messenger and not the message they know they`re in trouble
CNN is squealing. The recordings must be pretty damning.
Richard T Griffiths, exec director, retiring this week, has as his loves on linkedIn, in this order:
Children
Civil Rights and Social Action
Disaster and Humanitarian Relief.
Haitian disaster relief for children? Didn’t some reporter get murdered for her trying to uncover child trafficking there?
But, of course, the Trump tape was perfectly okay with these slime.
We need someone to go inside these crazy schools,colleges and universities. America has gone crazy from propaganda that is fed throughout our country.
Trump needs to clean out the Federal Government and our local and state governments.

Wow, how easy was that?!?
He drew them into a trap and got SO MUCH FREE PUBLICITY from them... now I understand why he didn’t simply just release it.
Thank you CNN, you blundering fools!
LOL! The subjective spinning in this “objective” “news” report is hilarious.
“He’s largely discredited by those like us who support the Democratic Party as our religion. Also, he once ran over a dog when he clearly could have swerved. And he ate a grape without paying for it when he was a child.”
LOL this is rich from CNN, and here they go. Discredit him before anything comes out.
Have what? Gotten folks fired? Exposed criminal activity?
Bwahahahaha.
I love the timing. Thursday morning. Drop before lunch news shows freaking out about what really goes on behind the scenes at stations. I worked at a couple stations for a few years.
AND - President Trump is about to release his new Executive Order on immigrants and visitors.
Kind of hard for the Lame Stream to fight on two fronts.
Buying stock in Orville Redenbacher.
lol....cnn blatantly mischaracterizing O’Keefe....
He wants us to look at this guy.
"Nothing to see here!"
Used tactics made famous by 60 Minutes. You wouldn’t call young Dan Rather “not a journalist”, would you CNN? Hmmm?
