(Washington DC) Today, Project Veritas released the first installment in an undercover videoinvestigation series unmasking the deep state. This video features a State Department employee, Stuart Karaffa, engaged in radical socialist political activity on the taxpayer’s dime, while advocating for resistance to official government policies. In addition to being a State Department employee Stuart Karaffa is also a ranking member of the Metro DC Democratic Socialists of America (Metro DC DSA.)
Metro DC DSA is a socialist group that works to advance progressive causes in the metropolitan DC area.
Mr. Karaffa’s loyalties seem to be with DSA, not with his employer.
Karaffa told an undercover Project Veritas journalist that he performs DSA activism while at work for the State Department. He explained that he drafts DSA communications while on the job at State Department:
“… I’m careful about it. I don’t leave a paper trail, like I leave emails, and like any press s**t that comes up I leave that until after 5:30. But as soon as 5:31 hits, got my like draft messages ready to send out.”
Karaffa also admits that on behalf of DSA he monitors Virginia political news online while at work:
“You could put two and two together probably. With like web traffic…. So with web traffic, I mean I could make the case before a court of law that- I’m going to the Virginia sort of, campaign finance website- that I’m just interested in what people are doing politically. But if they also go and look at like DSA minutes and like Officer positions they’ll be like, ‘that’s weird, you were the co-chair of the electoral caucus, and you spent three hours on a Virginia campaign finance website.'”
Karaffa does not believe that he will be caught and punished by the appropriate authorities, saying, “Maybe someday I’ll go to board of elections jail, probably not.”
Karaffa does not seem to be concerned about disciplinary action from the State Department: “I have nothing to lose. It’s impossible to fire federal employees.” When asked if his supervisor at the State Department knows about his activism, Karaffa reveals that “nobody knows” about it.
Some government employees are required to regularly submit disclosure forms to help management identify any potential conflicts of interest that may interfere with job responsibilities. Despite disclosing his political activities and officer positions on his financial disclosure form, Karaffa alleges that:
“… somebody just rubber stamps [the form] and it goes forward… I don’t know if [the ethics officer is] all there. He’s so checked out…”
In one exchange, Karaffa’s attitude towards the current administration’s official policies appears to conflict with his duty to be impartial as a State Department employee. Karaffa says:
“Resist everything… Every level. F**k sh*t up.”
Stuart Karaffa is just the first federal government employee that Project Veritas has recorded in an undercover series unmasking the deep state.
“We’ve heard a lot about the Deep State; holdovers from the previous administration resisting change or nameless and faceless bureaucrats slowing things down or leaking secrets in an effort to undermine this administration,” said Project Veritas President James O’Keefe. “What is truly striking is their boldness, they are not afraid. They are even boastful about a warped reality, where they won’t get caught and can’t get fired even if they did.”
More deep state investigation reports will be released soon.
You can’t fire him, but Mike Pompeo can certainly find some ultra remote embassy to immediately transfer him to.
It should infuriate voters that this Karaffa puke is being paid this salary to work AGAINST us. And to add insult to injury he was given a 20% raise in 2017.
2017 Department Of State Karaffa Stuart H $94,796.00
2016 Department Of State Karaffa Stuart H $77,490.00
Socialists/Democrats know they never will be prosecuted for their crimes. They take their cues from Bill and Hillary Clinton, Huma Abedin, Carol Mills, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, Lois Lerner, James Comey,John Brennan, James Clapper, Sally Yates etc etc etc. Every one of them have broken laws that would end in prison for us, but they are never held accountable.
The way I am thinking one EO can get rid of all Federal Employee Unions. Live by the EO then die by the EO.
Firing should be the least of his worries, should get his neck stretched as should thousands of others up to and including Hillary and Hussien….
The real problem is that this is only the thin layer of frost on top of an extremely large iceberg.....
I believe that even FDR was against public employee unions for just this reason.
These people get buried in deeper than a tick, and actively work against The Peoples’ interest.

18 months into the Trump administration is too long to be rooting these people out, he should have been discovered and fired two weeks after inauguration day. Don’t tell me he can’t be fired, he can be.
Trump’s the best president of my lifetime but these infiltrators are killing his administration, they needed to be gone a year and a half ago. I know it’s far easier for me to criticize from the sidelines than actually be their in the midst of it. Trump’s lack of aggression in purging these Obama era saboteurs is really limiting his ability to be an effective president.
I am asking myself again, who won in 2016? I wish Trump would show some muscle. If Trump loses, the country is gone.
We are AT WAR. This POS is the ENEMY. CAPTURE, INTERROGATE, EXECUTE. We don’t have time for Prisoners.
And just before the above, FIRE his COMMIE A$$.
Travis, You wrote about All this mess years ago. Thank You.
PING.
PRES TRUMP SHOULD LEAD AMERICA TO DECLARE OUR COLLECTIVE OUTRAGE.
WE’VE BEEN HARMED BY OUR GOVERNMENT AND ITS OFFICIALS
HERE’S WHAT TO TO DO NOW:
Americans injured by this incident, are able to file suit under the Federal Tort Claims Act.
Historically, under the doctrine of “sovereign immunity,” you were not permitted to sue the king. Sovereign immunity has carried over to modern times in the form of a general rule that you cannot sue the government — unless the government says you can.
Fortunately, the Federal Tort Claims Act (”FTCA”) allows certain kinds of lawsuits against federal employees who are acting within the scope of their employment. And not doing their job to protect the US from high crimes and misdemeanors is one of them,
If you believe you may have a claim for negligence (careless conduct, or other wrongful or “tortious” conduct) against a federal agency or employee, you must first determine whether you can sue the federal government under the FTCA.
Although the limitations and exceptions are too numerous to review here, here are some general guidelines regarding the limitations on FTCA claims:
• Only federal employees can be sued under the FTCA, not independent contractors hired by the federal government (unless they are treated like employees).
• The negligent or wrongful conduct must have been done within the scope of the defendant’s employment.
• In general, only claims of negligence — as opposed to intentional misconduct — are allowed (though some claims for intentional misconduct can be brought against certain federal law enforcement officers).
• The claim must be based on — and permitted by — the law of the state in which the misconduct occurred.
Despite numerous limitations on FTCA lawsuits, the federal government still pays out millions of dollars each year
to compensate FTCA claims......bet there’s at least one hundred hungry lawyers and organizations that would like to
get a piece of the action.
the state department is full of liberals and homos. always has been!
To root out everyone one by one would take years...therein lies the problem. Every agency would have to be completely purged. It should, but its not going to happen.
There are hundreds of thousands of identical guys.
Personnel is policy.
Job #1 is fire everyone.
I believe that even FDR was against public employee unions for just this reason.
These people get buried in deeper than a tick, and actively work against The Peoples’ interest. As he then stated, they’re impossible to get rid of.

So why isn’t the secret service or the DOJ arresting this POS like yesterday if this was admitted?
You stupid petulant child...you have lots to lose. GTFO of our country and off our payroll.
We are rapidly approaching the end of our Republic.
