Clinton Campaign On Alert For Undercover Conservative Sting

Dirty tricks alleged as the campaign heats up

Hillary Clinton’s campaign offices around the country have been put on alert after at least two women approached Iowa staff under the guise of being supporters in an apparent effort to catch the campaign engaging in improper or illegal activity, a Clinton campaign official said.

The motivations of the women is not known, but their alleged techniques match those of Project Veritas, the conservative group run by James O’Keefe, which specializes in undercover stings meant to embarrass liberal groups and politicians. The group declined to comment on the Clinton campaign’s allegations. “Project Veritas does not comment on investigations, real or imagined,” said Daniel Pollack, the director of communications for the group.

A Clinton campaign official alleges that the women engaged in several efforts to entrap supporters. In one scheme, described by Clinton staff, a woman attempted to pass a cash donation to Clinton volunteers and interns. In another, a woman approached the campaign on Aug. 19 and said both her parents had donated to Clinton the legal maximum of $2700 each and wanted to funnel an additional donation through their daughter, a violation of federal law. On Aug. 13, a woman claiming to be Canadian approached another Clinton fellow to ask how to falsify an address for a campaign donation.

She doesn't need help from anyone. She's done an outstanding job of destroying herself all by her lonesome....

My first reaction is:
This is a bogus story like the many we’ve seen where some lefty puts a KKK sticker on his car and it turns out “the victim” is the actual perpetrator.

Sounds to me like PV—and not surprising.

I would be shocked to hear there's some improper or illegal activity going on. Shocked.

Turn around. There is someone who should really worry you.

What a paranoia play by the Clinton campaign!

“Poor Hillary. Born with the media empire in her mouth.”

Now Hillary can’t hide (or sell) her dirty laundry anymore. Not in this day of advanced technology.

Realizing, of course, undercover dirty tricks can go both ways.

You’re right.
They’re desperate.
She’s failing badly.

my guess is that all of this is true but what is wrong with running this type of sting on a politician. I think it is really telling about her supporters if she has to warn them not to do illegal activity when a sting fails. it reminds me of when I worked in a small isolated town up in Alaska. when ever the health inspector flew in to town who ever was inspected first was suppose to warn the other restaurants that the health inspector was in town so they could cover up there violations.

Ditto. I was going to comment that Conservatives don’t need to sting her because she’s already stung herself multiple times.

Could you pose as a liberal to gain access? What would it take to pretend to agree with liberal dogma? Could you force yourself to do it? Could you be convincing? I would rather gouge out my beating heart with a pencil.

My first impression was Clinton's will create the stories that will gain them traction....including that conservatives are infiltrating their rallies etc.

All campaigns should be on the alert for this. It’s going to be a big year for dirty tricks, I bet.

I am around liberals all the time all you have to do to be a liberal is claim that the conservative is wrong because he or she is using non liberal sources for of info. I hardly ever use Rush as a source because of this. I usually find out the info from him then track down the source then use it. I do this so I don’t get the obligatory Fox news and rush Limbaugh lie. what I really hate is that theses same people use liberal sources that don’t fact check.
