Jaime T. Phillips, a woman suspected of working for an organization that targets news media, falsely told the Washington Post she was impregnated as a teenager by embattled U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore.
Phillips contacted Post reporter Beth Reinhard just hours after the newspaper published the first story detailing allegations of sexual misconduct against Moore, Alabama's Republican nominee for the Senate seat.
Phillips apparently first contacted the newspaper using a fake name on an email account. The account, which included the phrase,"rolltide,"was listed under the name Lindsay James, according to a story published today by the Post.

>>>Why would you believe anything she says or writes?
Because when given the opportunity to deny that Ms Phillips worked for Project Veritas, James O’Keefe remained silent.
‘She may have approached Veritas with the idea, been turned down and then went to the WaPo and did it anyway.’
Or it could be that the Washington Post approached Miss Phillips pretending to be Project Veritas and paid her a sum of money in small bills to engage the Washington Post in a false story about Judge Moore all in an effort to discredit Judge Moore and Project Veritas.
‘Because when given the opportunity to deny that Ms Phillips worked for Project Veritas, James O’Keefe remained silent.’
James has a right to remain silent or answer “No Comment” to any reporter’s question.
From what I read the WaPo believes she’s connected with Project Veritas; they claim to have seen her entering their offices. That would not be good.
This is not good for the Washington Post.
If a woman walked into your office and told you that she was raped by an adult male when she was 14 or 15 years old, what would you do?
Would you follow the woman around town and do a background investigation on her, or would you call the police?

So you are saying that the Post should have taken the allegations from Leigh Corfman, the original accuser, to the police?
Yes and then the police could have questioned Corfman and if need be filed charges against her for making false allegations.

They would also have had to question Judge Moore.
You ever notice how the media all use the same adjectives? Is that an AP style guide thing?
How can the candidate who's likely the frontrunner be "embattled" anyway? Jones's chances seem more "embattled."
She apparently was followed to the Veritas offices afterward.
No, it should be a law rather than having to individually sue them.
They should all have to do the jail time of whatever crime the victim of their lies would have faced. And make severe restitution to the person they slandered/libeled. They use courts and the legal system as a weapon to SWAT an innocent person, and use the gynocentric media to smear them.
I think this article is from online leftist outlet, Vox.
The Birmingham News, Huntsville Times and Mobile Press-Register are headed up by the alleged lesbian. And they hate Judge Moore.
WaPo followed her around after they found too many inconsistencies in her story. And, no, it’s not bad for the WaPo IF the WaPo version is true. It’s bad for O’Keefe and Project Veritas. And that is very unfortunate.
One has to wonder why at this point, if she were working undercover for O’Keefe, Phillips would have walked into the Project Veritas offices? If I were working undercover for them, there’s no way I’d have gone anywhere near there. I’d have communicated by other means and/or met at other locales. Going to their offices makes no sense if she was undercover.
One could only hope that she wasn’t undercover for them and was looking to sell her story elsewhere. That’s the only way it doesn’t look bad for Project Veritas.
To my knowledge O’Keefe hasn’t disavowed her or denied that she worked with his organization. If she wasn’t connected to him then why hasn’t he said so?
Well, it does leave him and all his work in a very vulnerable position. It threatens the value of all he’s done. I just find it difficult to believe that someone in an active undercover operation would go to the offices of the person/organization that is running that operation. Till now, O’Keefe’s operations and undercover operators have been quite successful, especially given who they are going up against.
Personally, I’d like to know more about the “saw her walk into Vertas’ office” claim. What, does the WaPo have it’s own surveillance team?
It’s not hard to follow someone out of an interview to see where they go, especially if they don’t suspect it. She clearly wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.
‘What, does the WaPo have it’s own surveillance team?’
It could be that they were attempting investigative journalism and it all backfired.
‘The Birmingham News, Huntsville Times and Mobile Press-Register are headed up by the alleged lesbian. And they hate Judge Moore.’
So you believe that Miss Phillips is telling the truth?
No.
