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 Fake News damage control before the story is even released!
“Given his track record, many consider O’Keefe discredited, and not a serious journalist. “
FAKE NEWS!
Already squealing like stuck pigs.
CNN is not federal property that is covered by the same law that was used for not the intended purpose. Enjoy the suck CNN. :)
Pre-emptive strike from the fake news giant.
Can’t wait to see what he’s got. I hope it’s released soon. Or at least dribbled out soon. This should be fun.
Just to clarify... he may be retiring this week, or next. I know he had 2-3 weeks left the beginning of the month. He announced his retirement a while ago, which is why I assumed he was long gone when I first saw the picture but then I checked.
Also... I will wait and see like the rest of us, but I would be surprised if Griffiths said anything super-damning. It would likely be someone else on a call. At the very least, it looks like O’Keefe has his hands on countless hours of daily “editorial calls” which even during slow news would be highly shocking to the general public. I can only imagine what he has here...
LOCKER ROOM TALK.... let’s see how they cope with their own lol.
CNN is getting nervous. That makes me smile.
I’m starting to hope it’s not just the “daily editorial call” they have here. While those could be damaging there is a ceiling to how damning anything said there could be exactly because of “News Locker Talk” spin. The more I look at that graphic O’keefe has up, I don’t think it’s a recording from an editorial call....
pizzagate?
I doubt it; I’m just hoping to see the unmasked bias in all its glory.
Nonsense, the info will be aired whether you're dead or not........
So do you work there?
And to echo others here, CNN is clearly concerned. Enough so they are trying to get out in front of this story even though doing so only elevates the anticipation and exposure.
And we all know POTUS will have a grand ole time on twitter with this one.
Oh really? Even editing for soundbites, or brevity doesn't change what is IN the material being presented. Planned Parenthood tried to argue that he 'edited' material to make them look bad. Nope, O'Keefe just presented the material and THAT made them look bad. I haven't seen the full unedited version of the tapes having to do with selling baby parts, but I read it is not much different from what was shown in brief snippets on Fox News. I don't think any of the other news channels even carried the story, or if they did, it was in the context of "O'Keefe doctored the tapes to make them say something different than what the people on the tapes actually said."
not anymore... and yes they are concerned
