BREAKING: James O’Keefe Put on Leave at Project Veritas. Has There Been a Coup?
PJ Media ^ | 02/09/2023 | Megan Fox

Posted on 02/09/2023 7:13:22 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Project Veritas, whose public face has always been its founder James O’Keefe, has been hit with a scandal. A whistleblower has come forward regarding the recent news that O’Keefe has been put on leave and stripped of his role in the company. According to this unnamed whistleblower, O’Keefe has fallen victim to a lack of proper corporate structure at Project Veritas, which is divided into two separate organizations with different boards and funding.

The whistleblower alleges that two ringleaders, Matt Tyrmand and Barry Hinckley, have taken advantage of the situation to push O’Keefe out. The board members and C-suite officers involved in the attempt to remove O’Keefe are listed in the Twitter thread. The whistleblower describes the board’s decision as a “Stalinesque kangaroo court trial.”

THREAD: The Project Veritas Coup

A whistleblower has contacted me about the news that @JamesOKeefeIII was put on leave and stripped of all authority at @Project_Veritas

This is difficult for me to publish, as a STAUNCH supporter of PV for years & even a VIP at their events.

Project Veritas has experienced huge success recently with its reinstatement on Twitter and the viral videos exposing corruption at Pfizer. The removal of James O’Keefe comes shortly after this win, and many people have speculated about the reasons behind it. Candace Owens of the Daily Wire has come out in support of O’Keefe, stating: “There is no Project Veritas without James O’Keefe. I say this as a donor to the organization, but more importantly, as a colleague who watched him pour everything he had into PV over the years. The money and supporters will follow James.”

So now they can continue to complain while applying for unemployment. PV will die without him. The question the board has to ask is simply can we hire new staffers or get on without him.

Pretty sure the idea is to force OKeefe to re-brand (he will have to rebuild brand reputation and all the while the demons get to concentrate their forces.

But what were they thinking putting someone from Goldman Sachs on their board?

Like they didn’t realize that would compromise them?

I’m thinking they felt turnabout is fair play and got a few moles onto the PV board.

I think it is that ClareLocke represented PV and James. I don’t think this guy has it right.

Matt didn’t just turn on Trump. He turned against everything conservative. He went full blown leftist crazy.

People claim Matt was ousted from the DR. Even if thats true, his silence for years on the matter speaks volumes.

Probably took the 💲💲💲💲💲 and signed an NDA

That’s my guess

Drudge Report isn’t worth lining a bird 🐦🕊️ cage for years now

Haven’t been there in years

"For that matter, what ever happened to Matt Drudge and the Drudge Report?"

Drudge came down with TDS.

Sounds like the Board wants a kinder, gentler leader. (one who will accomplish nothing, and has a better hair cut and clothes)

Re: "For that matter, what ever happened to Matt Drudge and the Drudge Report?"

Great question.

It started slowly drifting to the Left.

After a while, I gave up on it.

Have not clicked on it for several years, which is amazing, since Drudge was the first place I visited every morning when I turned on my computer.

Although Drudge was never a Conservative, he was an essential Conservative ally, and he knocked the Political Left off balance every day for almost 20 years!
