James O’Keefe Is on Paid Leave From Project Veritas
New York Intelligencer ^ | February 8, 2023 | Andrew Rice

Posted on 02/08/2023 4:57:15 PM PST by PJ-Comix

James O’Keefe, the founder and chairman of Project Veritas, has taken a paid leave from the conservative nonprofit media organization as its board considers whether to remove him from his leadership position, according to current and former employees of the organization.

An internal message sent to Project Veritas employees by the organization’s executive director, Daniel Strack, said that O’Keefe would be taking “a few weeks of well-deserved PTO.” An image of the message was shared by a source familiar with the organization’s internal operations, and its authenticity was confirmed by a current employee. When reached for comment on his personal cell phone, O’Keefe said nothing in response and did not respond to follow-up calls and text messages. Through a Project Veritas spokesman, Strack later released a statement on behalf of the organization. “Like all newsrooms at this stage, the Project Veritas Board of Directors and Management are constantly evaluating what the best path forward is for the organization,” the statement read in part. It did not directly address questions about O’Keefe’s employment status. “There are 65+ employees at Project Veritas dedicated to continuing the mission to expose corruption, dishonesty, waste, fraud, and other misconduct in both public and private institutions,” the statement read. “To our supporters: We hear you, we care about you, and we will never give up.”

An insider plot financed by Pfizer from the outside? Best way for Project Veritas to commit suicide is to get rid of James O'Keefe who IS Project Veritas. And that is what Pfizer (and most liberals) desperately want.

He could start a new organization so fast it would make their heads swim.

And he'd take all the donors with him.

How much Pfizer money does it take to bribe the Project Veritas board members to oust O’Keefe?

You don’t think big pharma will allow someone to besmirch their tenuous reputation do you?

I would love to see the deposits into the bank accounts of those Project Veritas board members who vote to oust O'Keefe.
