Project Veritas Leadership Releases Statement About James O'Keefe
Townhall ^ | February 15, 2023 | Julio Rosas

Posted on 02/15/2023 2:52:10 PM PST by PJ-Comix

Project Veritas Executive Director Daniel Stack released a statement on behalf of himself and the board of directors to address the continuing turmoil over James O'Keefe's position at the undercover news outlet. O'Keefe has reportedly been placed on paid leave over allegations of misconduct.

This is the first statement from Project Veritas that mentions O'Keefe since their previous statement only mentioned the work the company has been doing and the board of directors evaluating the path forward for the site. The new statement confirms a number of employees presented to them a list of complaints over O'Keefe's management style.

"The narrative that is being portrayed by referencing this letter is patently false. James has not been removed from Project Veritas. Nowhere in that letter was there ever a suggestion to remove James from the organization," Stack wrote.

It sounds like the board is backtracking. The public fury at their action has had its effect.

The board can go to Hades.

Sounds like the board heard from donors “if you kiss James goodbye, you can also kiss your salaries goodbye”.

The statement says nothing. I got the email. It was sent from the Project Veritas Development (raises money) Team. Unless they have something criminal on James, it will be a failed coup.

Lousiana Gov. Ed Edwards once said: “The only way I will not be elected is if they catch me in bed with a dead girl or a live boy.”

If you attack the King, you must kill him. It looks like the King lives. I want to see the two he fired, re-fired. Only then will I believe he is safe for now.

“...will not take time off unless forced to.”

There could be legitimate health concerns that he is working himself into an early grave and that exhaustion is effecting his interpersonal skills.

Given the scope and reach of the Pfizer/Gov’t cabal, it could be a personal safety concern.

The “staff” can just suck it up. No James, no job.

Yeah, whatever. Please explain the difference between “procedures” and “processes” and then get back to me. Yes, James is admirable and deserves 100% respect.

They never realized the backing James has.....They found out real quick..He is fired, goes across the street, opens a new non profit and takes all the donor money and reputation with him.......While project veritas gets loaded down with the reputation of being bought and paid for by the “big boys” James went after......

I certainly hope that’s what happening with many of the right-side icons.

I’ve seen behind the scenes footage of many of them.. they can be real aholes.

Except Rush, of course. I don’t think anyone ever said he was anything but the nicest guy in the world.

Ben Shapiro comes to mind though.

Project Veritas was, and is, our most powerful weapon in this fight.

Has anything of substance come from his investigations. Arrests? Fired? Anything?

And who was arrested? I’ve seen his investigations and never saw any arrests.

You said "Arrests? Fired? Anything?"

Now you want to restrict it to just arrested.

So you are now moving the goal posts.

Typical.
