CNN Calls the Cops on Project Veritas’ James O’Keefe for Crashing Senior Staff Phone Call
The Wrap ^ | Dec 1, 2020

Posted on 12/01/2020 5:26:23 PM PST by 11th_VA

CNN said it is involving “law enforcement” after James O’Keefe, the founder of the right-wing group Project Veritas, crashed a morning editorial call with CNN President Jeff Zucker and said Project Veritas would be releasing tapes from previously recorded phone calls.

“Legal experts say this may be a felony. We’ve referred it to law enforcement,” the CNN PR account tweeted on Tuesday in response to a video of the call O’Keefe posted on Twitter.

In the video, O’Keefe can be seen unmuting himself on a phone and telling Zucker, “We’ve been listening to your CNN calls for basically two months and recording everything. Just wanted to ask you some questions, if you have a minute. Do you still feel you are the most trusted name in news? Because I have to say from what I’ve been hearing on these phone calls, I don’t know about that. I mean, we’ve got a lot of recordings that indicate you’re not really that independent of a journalist.”

So Melania could do the same on CNN for playing tapes secretly recorded of her?

The link you posted is a garbage lying propaganda site. Couldn’t you find a link to a conservative source?

O’Keefe backed out of his 7 pm interview on NewsMax - maybe they threatened him with a felony - he should have just leaked it to someone

Right.

No way the James Gang did not think of this and in advance consult with legal experts to construct a method to not break the law.

Bad PR move by CNN to call in the cops.

This gives the story even more visibility.

BTW, did O’Keefe release more stuff at 7pm as he said he would?

I know in Texas, if you are a party to those calls, you can record them. Also, if you are a party to those calls, you can give a third party permission to record them.
