James O'Keefe confirms departure from Project Veritas in emotional video statement from headquarters

James O'Keefe, the undercover journalist and founder of Project Veritas, posted a video to the website Vimeo on Monday, announcing he would be leaving PV amid a dispute with the nonprofit's board of directors. 

One America News (OAN) reporter and Veritas-linked journalist Neil McCabe tweeted out the announcement late Monday morning. 

Exclusive: @JamesOKeefeIII, my friend and former boss at @Project_Veritas just read his resignation letter to his former team and board members at their Mamaroneck, N.Y. headquarters," McCabe wrote. "James will make his own way—as he always has before." 

Known for his various sting operations and undercover stories investigating lawmakers, government agencies, private corporations and celebrities, O'Keefe sought to hold true to the organization's motto: "Be Brave And Do Something." 

The group's leader was placed on paid leave earlier this month seemingly related to a dispute over the removal of two board members. In O'Keefe's quest to remove them, the board reversed his decision and issued a memo with more general complaints about the working conditions and management attitude at PV. 

Despite the board attempting to tamp down rumors of O'Keefe's imminent departure, he posted a video to the website Vimeo, detailing how he was stripped of his authority.

"Journalism is reporting things powerful people want kept hidden for the wrong reasons," he said during the 45-minute video. "Moral wrongs. Bad behaviors. As journalists we're the custodians of the public's conscience. And as we've gone deeper and deeper, exposing and illuminated corruption ... the line separating good and evil becomes more clear — not just in the institutions we investigate, but within one another. Throughout my 13 years doing this, our mission has evolved from simply being about exposing the truth with some hidden cameras to something more transcendental: giving...

Check the bank accounts of the board. I bet this had to do with the Pfizer exposure.

Not one word of support from Trump. Nor should we expect one, considering the uh, Pfizer thingy.

James O’Keefe will be completely undeterred and Project Veritas will be dead as fried chicken in a matter of months, possibly weeks.

In light of the current American Sovetization, expect James to meet with an innocent fatal accident in the not-to-distant future...

The end of an era. Best wishes to James O’Keefe in his future endeavors.

Bannon and Navarro talked about a full scale investigation to find the Pfizer links to this.

They want to put the entire 7 hr Board meeting on Getter.

It sounds as though Pfizer got the gay community to turn against O’Keefe.

I look forward to Project Veracity. Perhaps the first undercover videos will be the Board of Project Veritas, and whatever underhanded, backroom arrangements exist. Maybe O’Keefe already has some (one can dream).

The second part of that is probably what Pfizer intends. Pfizer will take care of the first part by and by. O’Keeefe needs to watch his back judiciously. It would be a real tragedy if he commits second hand suicide.
