Question: Does he or does he not need Veritas?
2) Will this shut him up?
He built PV from the ground up, so probably not.
Remember that James O’Keefe started Project Veritas in 2010 and is a 501(c)(3) charity funded mostly by Donors Trust. I don’t know the complete history but at some point James brought in professional managers to run the organization so he could concentrated on the undercover investigations he is known for. PV has been sued and paid numerous settlements to ACORN and others so in fact it was necessary to shield him and other staff via a corporate shroud.
But it seems the managers have turned against him and probably because they have turned toward those companies who could promise big donations and funding if they’d just muzzle him.
Of course he doesn’t need PV per se, just an organization that can provide the same function. Not one person on FR could name another individual or board member of PV, I would be willing to bet.
So watch as James lands on his feet and no, I don’t think for an instant it will shut him up. In fact I hope his first post-PV investigation is of the corruption OF PV!
