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.”

Even big abortion couldnt take him down. The customer base is still too small so the money while big is not enormous, most people find abortion disgusting and not legitimate “health care”.

The vax was abortion on steroids. Murders people. Injures people. Sterilizes both men and women. Customer base is enormous. Money to bemade murdering people and sterilizing those who live is astronomical. Like abortion to the nth power.

That guy is the one who makes it all work if they get rid of him then their organization pretty well is done. He could go on and put together a new organization without outside interference which is probably what he’s going to do.

I thought that was his company. Why did he set it up that way, so he can be voted out? He seems to be immature.

Do you think it is a way to protect himself from possible litigation?

What exactly is that supposed to mean? I post a story of great interest to almost everybody here and somehow there is supposed to be a hidden "benefit" for me?

I send $$ to JOK every month. Right now, PV handles it. If JOK leaves my $$ leaves with him. It is just that simple.

The ony gripe I have with JOK is he, for lack of a better word, overedits his stuff and is a bit too sensationalist. His dupes utter such outrageous drivel, he has no need to accentuate it. It stands just fine on it’s own. That said, JOK is the only reporter who is willing to man up and get them to spill the beans on the REAL agenda. For that, he has my respect and admiration.

In Drudge's case, I think it was blackmail, not bribery. The Deep State has access to many hidden video cameras.
