THIS IS THE SECOND JAMES O'KEEFE VIDEO! And it is EXPLOSIVE!!!

--

New video released Thursday afternoon indicates National Public Radio intended to accept a $5 million donation from fictitious Muslim Brotherhood front group Muslim Education Action Center (MEAC) Trust – and that the publicly funded radio network might have helped MEAC make the donation anonymously to protect it from a federal government audit.

When a man posing as Ibrahim Kasaam asked, “It sounded like you were saying NPR would be able to shield us from a government audit, is that correct?” NPR’s senior director of institutional giving, Betsy Liley, responded, “I think that is the case, especially if you are anonymous. I can inquire about that.” According to conservative James O’Keefe, whose Project Veritas organization conducted the NPR sting organization, the man posing as Kasaam made two follow-up phone calls to Liley after their lunch.

Liley said a $5 million donation would amount to about “10 years of support.”

Kasaam follows up by asking: “The fact that NPR is not only a tax-exempt organization, but also receives direct contributions from the government — does that invite some sort of government oversight or government examination of contributions, et cetera?”

Liley answered: “They have audited our programs at times and, I think, as part of that, they can look at our audited financials. If you are concerned in any way about that, that’s one reason you might want to be an anonymous donor. And, we would certainly, if that was your interest, want to shield you from that.”

Liley mentioned a precedent at NPR — in more than $80 million in donations from universities.

One thing you've got to like about O'Keefe: He releases part of what he has in order to induce the predictable denials and THEN comes out with the proof that the denials are bogus.

Smart boy.

O’Keeffe’s targets seem to be playing checkers, while he is playing chess. Funny how he always seems to be one move ahead of them. I absolutely love this guy...

[keat]

How is it that little Betsy has escaped with her job intact so far? Or has she?

I think this thing needs to go all the way to the top. Obama should resign.

“We also got an $8 million gift,” Liley said. “I don’t know if you remember this; about two years ago a number of institutions, higher ed institutions, all with women as presidents, got donations that ranged from $5 million to $12 million. They were never identified who the gifts were from, but they totaled about $80 million dollars.”

Makes you wonder who is really funding these institutions of higher learning!

Betsy could hit the streets in the morning. That would make 3.

Hat Trick

[GOPJ]

Liberals cover for each other - like when liberal politicians get money from State Unions, then vote to give union members more money and perks.

NPR and their liberal friends would write laws to cover things most of us would find shocking.

I want to know why PBS is hiding their big donors. Has the Muslim Brotherhood been donating for years?

What about AlQaeda?

For a 'public' organization, they're very good at hiding. But they're also like the crime family that has all the judges in their pocket ( in this case the MSM and politicians) - PBS knows the ropes - and they and their 'friends' will go after James with everything they've got.

Maybe conservatives could set up a tax free nonprofit to funnel information and help to James... maybe take secret donations from terrorists ( just kidding about that part). We could never be as creepy as liberal elites...

Trouble always comes in threes so there has to be third shoe sitting in the background.

I hope O'Keefe is in IL checking out who is pay the fleabaggers costs to hide out there.

If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Maybe one of FR's lawyers will weigh in. Presuming these funds were going into a bank account rather than under Big Birds bed, aren't we talking about money laundering here?

The Obama WH has their their little feet scurrying. He will be responsible for more socialist BS falling down than anyone. The icing on the cake will be his socialist HC which obviously demands forced commerce.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Government has NO business in radio or TV. NONE

GET RID OF NPR AND PBS . .

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

Hmmmm. No mention of this on the NPR site yet. They were in an AWFUL hurry to do damage control the last time.

LOLOLOL

Can’t think of a convincing enough lie quick enough, I guess.

[SJackson]

Since no one in the mainstream is going to report this, they’re smart to stay quiet. Wonder how many of these deals were successful? Think either the IRS or FBI are interested?

[Cincinna]

Bravo! James o’Keefe & co. are American heroes.
Drip,drip,drip..... daily disintegration of NPR. Not one more dime of taxpayer dollars to fund this Left-wing,anti-American, anti-Semitic fake news network.

[SJackson]

Left out of my first post, I believe donations to NPR are tax deductable. Under those circumstances, any desire to mask to source of donations should raise red flags.

[janipa]

Amen!

[Cincinna]

Isn’t hiding money from the Feds a crime? I’ll have to ask JP Pennypacker, my tax lawyer!

Why yes...Yes he was.

I think that was his 1nd career. His 2nd was as a Marine Biologist. A tragic event involving a whale and a Titleist ball in its blowhole ended that though.

"The sea was angry that day, my friends - like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli"
