Dirty tricks alleged as the campaign heats up
Hillary Clintons 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 OKeefe, which specializes in undercover stings meant to embarrass liberal groups and politicians. The group declined to comment on the Clinton campaigns 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.

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.
Trying to breathe life into the old VRWC meme.
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.
Hoax Alert!
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.
The ghost of bimbos past.
I just came by to see whether anybody else noticed....
Thanks!
Ditto. I was going to comment that Conservatives don’t need to sting her because she’s already stung herself multiple times.
Hillary sees conservatives EVERYWHERE!!!!
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.
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.
