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.”

Rule #1 - Never say anything incriminating on a conference call
Rule #2 - Never show anything incriminating on a video conference call
Yes he did. On website and you tube.
Rule # 3 aka The Jeffrey Toobin rule.
here is one link to some new stuff from O’Keefe-—
I guess that explains why he was due on either Fox Biz or NewsMax tonight and cancelled on them.
..... My guess is that O’Keefe will be going to prison
Which news outlet were not reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop because it was “hacked” information? Which news outlets reported on the Billy Bush tape even though Trump didn’t know he was being recorded?
Oh that’s right. Sorry. I forgot.
I thought they wanted the police defunded. They obviously need to call a social worker so they can get to the bottom of how they must not be mad at anyone.
This is really funny. When we used to hold conference calls using Webex the first thing we did was go through every number that was connected and have them identify who they were. If their name wasn’t listed or nobody responded to a number we disconnected it.
Only complete dufuses like CNN would hold sensitive public calls without such a simple protocol. You can’t claim privacy if you don’t act in a way that shows you have an expectation of it.
“”Yes he did. On website and you tube.””
Great. Would you post the links?
There is so much stuff going on these days it is difficult to stay on top of everything without additional links to what is posted on FR.
Sounds like all he did was call a phone number and listen to whoever answered. No crime there. That isn’t eavesdropping.
I think someone would probably have to give him a code to get into the call.
I interpret the latter as not covering the reasons for Trump not conceding which would include many varieties of election fraud and voter fraud. CNN would certainly not want their viewers to know about any of that. They will probably just play the sound bites like that of AG Barr saying that he doesn’t see election fraud over and over. Republicans certainly do NOT stick together.
See post 24.
Guess again.....
They wanted to scare viewers into wanting Trump to concede.
On what basis?
New York, HQ of Project Veritas; and Georgia, HQ of CNN, are both one-party states.
As such, Project Veritas had a right to record the calls. That CNN did know the names of all the people listening in is a CNN problem. CNN gave out the number for the group call, so tough shit. No law enforcement agency is going to get involved.
If they did, every single recording would be part of discovery, and CNN definitely doesn’t want that.
I do not know about that but I would guess Bill Barr will move that to the top of his agenda, right past investigations of election fraud.
