AFAIC, James O’Keefe IS Project Veritas. He will have to rebuild, but I expect he will learn from this, fix the problems that allowed this to happen at PV and continue the fight. I predict PV will turn into a shill for the interests that it used to expose.
You're right, and I think that's why he'll be fine. His name has far more recognition than Project Veritas, and I don't think it'll take him long at all to be up and running again.
He may have to drop (or leave) whatever projects are currently in the pipeline at PV and start over -- to avoid any legal issues -- but I'm sure he has plenty of new ideas and/or targets.
