(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.
no guarantee he will be fired, or much later on....
Remember the Secret Service agent woman Kerry O’Grady who said I wanted Hillary to win. I won’t take a bullet to protect Trump. The Hatch Act be damned. I’m with Hillary.
First still there a long time, then reassigned but on the job. All along she was not taken from Do Not Admit high security info list!! She could alert assassins to know where POTUS would be. Shocking. Article by Michael F. Haverluck detailed this. She “skirts the Hatch Act” by “staying on the median” wants to be like armed and angry Princess Leia poster she has with “I’m with the Resistance” to Trump she added at the bottom. Scary hag.
Strzok and Lisa Page were still on regular duty resisting Trump long after the revelations.
Dems skate. Conservatives go to prison.
He does.
But much more than that WE have a lot to lose because of the thousands like him.
Perhaps, but he can be reassigned to someplace he'd rather not be - like the DoS Arctic Council office locations in Nome or Fairbanks.
Assign him to facilities maintenance at the Embassy in Bishkek.
Project Veritas bump for later....
The Democrat Thug Party
He probably already has job offers from Sessions.
They better hope it's never OUR turn. 
The SEWER Department has been efed up for many decades. It should be leveled.
“...Anything less than that and the Left will feel that they can get away with this.”
They already think they can get away with this and for the most part, they are. They need to learn that they’re mistaken. They need to be rooted out like weeds.
FIRE and PROSECUTE this TRAITOROUS SOB
A paycheck and reputation are not quite nothing.
“I’d contribute to a fund to hire someone to F his S up.”
How about Project Veritas that uncovered this creep?
Maybe it’s difficult to fire these guys but there is nothing against making GS-13 resistance folks janitors or kitchen workers. I’m just sayin’
bkmk
He could if he revoked JFK's executive order that created the federal employees' union.
burn him...
