The State Department has responded to a new video from Project Veritas in which one of its employees is caught telling an undercover journalist that his goal is to “Resist everything… Every level. F**k sh*t up.”

A spokesperson for the Department of State confirmed to the Epoch Times that the man in the video, Stuart Karaffa, is indeed a Management and Program Analyst with the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations.

“We take seriously any allegation of a violation of the Hatch Act and financial disclosure rules and are closely reviewing this matter,” the statement continued. The department would not comment further at this time as it is a personnel matter.

“...Management and Program Analyst with the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations.”

So, is he giving away building plans and schedules? Is he emailing lists of personnel to our enemies?

[hal ogen]

I’m trying to be positive here... I hope this isn’t your average government “worker”. Then, too...given the current coup attempt, it may well be so.

[Boomer]

All federal Unions should be immediately shut down and full civil service reform is desperately needed.

[CincyRichieRich]

I think this one PDJT should tweet...give O’Keefe some attention.

[The Fop]

I have this image in my mind of Rod Rosenstein standing on the steps of some government building, guarding the front door refusing to allow anyone in to redact those documents, a la George Wallace.

[EMI_Guy]

Indeed. There was a meme posted here...I believe on Sunday...about Cory Booker as “Farticus” who will go down as the only Democrat in history to screw up trying to do something illegal.

Funny stuff, I tellz ya.

[bert]

One year TDY to Sucre Paraguay to study potential consulate building.

Or ditto to Kano Nigeria

[caww]

.....“We take seriously any allegation of a violation of the Hatch Act and financial disclosure rules and are closely reviewing this matter,”......

HAHAHAHAHA! Taken seriously is not action.

[Freee-dame]

I think that he said that the program he had been working on had been cancelled. He almost admitted that he had plenty of time to do his Democratic Socialism email creations.

[caww]

Doubt any will hire the guy as he just showed he can’t keep his yapper closed. At best he’ll get a desk job where the janitor supplies are kept.

[HamiltonJay]

Are they?

That’s my beef with Veritas....

He basically gets some, usually insignificant person, in a bar, and gets them to pop off... how much is braggadocio by some youngster trying to get into a girls pants, and how much of its real????

So, you get some peon fired, for being an idiot, and nothing really changes.

I mean seriously, how much “resisting” can someone who from his title:

“Management and Program Analyst with the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations.:

Really do? It sounds to me he’s in charge of making sure the furnace is working and the trash bins are emptied.

Got no problem firing the guy, but folks who are TRULY engaged in a “conspiracy” aren’t talking about it on SLACK CHANNELS for christ sake.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

It should infuriate voters that this Karaffa puke is being paid this salary to work AGAINST us. And to add insult to injury he was given a 20% raise in 2017. The Obama holdovers in the State Department must have thought Karaffa was doing a great job F....U... Trump.

2017 Department Of State Karaffa Stuart H $94,796.00
2016 Department Of State Karaffa Stuart H $77,490.00

...his endlessly stellar job performance reviews

---

Worked one fall doing yard work at a V.A. hospital. A painter told me that when he first started work, he’d paint 20 doors a day. Got mediocre performance reviews. Once he got his output to 8 doors a day, he was rated excellent. He wasn’t “resisting”, that’s just how things worked there. I saw a guy mopping a stair landing for at least a couple of hours. Everything was done in slow motion.

[The Antiyuppie]

They’re taking it seriously, though. That’ll teach the b********.

[MayflowerMadam]

“Mike Pompeo is SecState.”

Oh, right. He’s a real hard ass. I hope he prosecutes this little turd, and his socialist turd friends.

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

Dear Lord.. Where did all these Evil Leftists come from? Get them out of government!

[Buckeye McFrog]

Dear Lord.. Where did all these Evil Leftists come from?

1) Universities
2) Universities
3) Universities
4) Universities

and

5) Universities

If we ever hope to get our country back we must first defund the Leftist-Academia Complex.

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

So True!

I continue to be eternally grateful that the American Progressive Left is too arrogant, immature, lazy,undisciplined and just plain mentally ill to successfully execute a proper conspiracy ...arrogant, immature, lazy, undisciplined and mentally ill - it's who they are - it's what makes them become Leftists......

He will suffer no consequences. Except probably a book deal.
