Damn Right I Taped Kerry’s ‘Apartheid’ Talk

The Daily Beast ^ | May 2 ,2014 | Josh Rogin

And if I had to do it all over again, I’d do it in the exact same way.

If a reporter agrees that a conversation or event is off-the-record, then of course he cannot print what was said during that interchange. But the unwritten rule—the one that directly applies here—is that if a reporter enters an off-the-record event uninvited and has not agreed to the off-the-record terms, he is free to report what happens inside that event. It’s the responsibility of the event organizers to keep reporters from entering events without invitations. As long as the reporter does not misrepresent himself and does not attempt to conceal a recording device, the event is fair game. That’s the rule.

Did I enter the Trilateral Commission event with Kerry, tape it, and then reveal to the world what our Secretary of State is saying to influential world leaders behind closed doors?

Damn right I did.

Nobody ever asked me who I was. I didn’t have a name tag but many of the invited attendees weren’t wearing theirs so nobody thought anything of it. As the approximately 200 attendees got settled in for the Kerry speech, I found a seat in the corner, opened up my laptop, placed my recorder on my lap in plain sight, turned it on, and waited for the fun to begin.

I wonder how much money Josh Rogin will end up owing the IRS. Because I see an audit in his future.

[Sherman Logan]

I’m not sure, but if I remember correctly, a random bartender taped that fiasco.

[originalbuckeye]

Leftists getting fed up with the lies, too??????? Doubtful. This guy had better get with the program before his life is destroyed.

I heard/read it was Carter’s grandson.

Absolutely, as Romney found out.

Nice to know, if I ever want to shoot up a Trilateral Commission meeting.

“I’m not sure, but if I remember correctly, a random bartender taped that fiasco.”

In physics we always used the “drunkard’s random walk” in problems. Now I know what happened. He was served by a random bartender! Thank you.

But on the charge of being a bad Jew? Like Hebrew National, I answer to a higher authority.

Ma’s answer was “She’s a bitch.” That was played on every nightly newscast for a week WITH THE “THIS IS OFF RECORD.” stipulation part of the newscast.

I am not ‘sure’ she even said that.
I thought it was more like ‘It rhymes with “Witch”’? And Chung put the finishing touches on it.

Chung definitely ‘assured’ her that it was ‘just between you and me’, ‘off the record’ BUT wasn’t it on a show similar (in concept) to 60 minutes or even like todays daytime gabfests but in ‘prime time’?

Mrs G was definitely ‘sand bagged’ and of course C Chung never had to ‘pay the price’ that say a Limbaugh or such if they had used the term ‘off the record’ then played it the next day....

Thanks Hojczyk.

Perhaps this is part of the other shoe dropping...

From the Daily Beast? We have had Hillary, Holder, Rice, Townsend and God only knows how many other incompetents and miscreants appointed by this administration plus Joe Biden, but I am starting to think that maybe John F. Kerry just might be the bridge too far.
By the way, did you know John F. Kerry is a Vietnam Vet?

[Bubba_Leroy]

Nothing pisses off liberals more than when you accurately report what they say.

[Twinkie]

Thanks! But, you can be sure they’ll get even more “exclusive” about speeches they don’t want us to know
about in the future.

[Zenjitsuman]

They wouldn’t let Sterling get away with what he said in private.

So when is Kerry going to lose his job?

Or at least retract it and apologize.

IMHO, he is a horse faced A-h*le
