Criminalizing journalism, then politics

“For my friends, everything. For my enemies, the law.” From James O’ Keefe, independent journalist, posting on Twitter (X),

O’Keefe writes,

JUST RECEIVED IN MAIL: Complaint/Summons to appear in Court in Minneapolis, Nov 16th.

Once again I’m calling on all journalists to take a stance for the 1st amendment.

If they can put me in jail for asking questions, they will do it to you. https://t.co/VmWFE70ElN— James O'Keefe (@JamesOKeefeIII)

We’ve come to the point in the proceedings when it is time to hang together or we will surely hang separately. Soft-on-crime Hennepin County prosecutor Mary Moriaty finally found a crime she is willing to prosecute: embarrassing Democrats. She will be out of office in a few short weeks, but her replacement appears to be even worse. So many newly (re)-elected Democrats in Minnesota and elsewhere are hellbent on revenge against those who have briefly kept them from total power.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

It doesn't seem like O'Keefe has been charged with anything. If they did I would think he would tell us what the charge is. Can they just summon someone to court any time they feel like it?

That is a fine call to arms. He may get 100 "journalists" in this country to stick up for him.

Because that is about all the journalists who actually exist in this country.

If that.

The vast majority of self-described "journalists" are partisan Leftist advocates, and while I admire James O'Keefe, I hope he isn't keeping the light on hoping for them to actually support him.
