Targets of O'Keefe sting, Hollywood big shots ask FBI to investigate
American Thinker ^ | 05/22 | Paul Bond

Posted on 05/22/2014 7:30:34 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

A video created by conservative media guerilla James O'Keefe, that showed Hollywood big shots willing to receive funding from Arabs to make an anti-Fracking movie while hiding the source of the funds, has engendered a "tremendous amount of fallout" according to actor Ed Begley, one of the targets in the film.

Now others who were outed as hypocrites want the FBI to investigate whether O'Keefe broke any laws when making the film.

Hollywood Reporter:

Filmmakers who were targets of an undercover sting operation by James O'Keefe have filed a criminal complaint with police and have asked the FBI to determine whether federal laws were broken when the journalist surreptitiously recorded phone calls and a lunch meeting, a spokesman for movie producers Josh and Rebecca Tickell said Wednesday.

I can confirm that this matter has been reported to federal and local law enforcement for investigation of whether certain state and federal laws were violated," said Jonathan Franks, a managing partner at Lucid Public Relations.

Franks also said that police are looking into a disturbing phone call placed Wednesday to the Tickells, who run Green Planet Prods. and produce award-winning environmental documentaries.

Well, the FBI definitely HAS been corrupted and, from the Director on down, has become part of the the criminal enterprise known as the Obama/Holder regime. Any referrals to the DOJ and/or the FBI for potential criminal matters that involve the Obama regime or its allies simply become an unending “reason” to not release ANY relevant information.

Pulling the mask off of the sociopath is not a pretty site. Here they were caught trying to destroy key American business sectors with foreign money. That is about as anti-social as you can get.

The bad guy isn’t the drug addict or his destructive behaviors - the bad guy is the person that exposes it.

That is how you know you are dealing with a sociopath. They never ever take blame for how their actions or behavior cause others problems. They only regret how others responding to their actions, cause them problems. So in this case, they are mad at the whistle blowers. And they are not being apologetic about their actions at all. When you realize the depth of the problem with these people, you will realize it is best to walk away and never listen to them again. I am speaking from numerous experiences with these types.

I recognize the behavior because I have an addict in my family, and I had to separate myself from him, just as you said. It’s the only way to be safe and keep your family safe.

Is that anything like the meanest animal in the jungle, the Hippo-Gator? Hippo head on one end; Gator head on the other.

Well, how can he poop, you ask?

He can’t — that’s why he’s so mean.

I’m sorry, the FBI and DOJ are too busy investigating the IRS debacle and will soon be investigating the VA debacle. Tongue firmly planted in cheek.

Good luck with the investigation! Wouldn’t the applicability of Calif’s “all parties consent” law be inapplicable if the call (and recording) were made from a state which does not require consent of all parties to record?

Wonderful strategy, morons. Call more attention to your “destroy America first’ clients despicable actions.

Now that’s truly Lucid Public Relations.

But he knows the deal. He knows who he’s messing with. Certainly he wouldn’t allow himself to be tripped up by such laws, right?

“On Wednesday, Begley Jr. told THR he has explored the possibility of legal action against O’Keefe.
“I spoke to a very good lawyer who would love to take more of my money, but he’s not going to do that,” Begley said. “He said there’s too much tape of the Tickells — well, I don’t want to throw them under the bus. He just doesn’t think there’s any way to gain damages.””

“My car? No, it’s not electric ... It’s powered by my smug sense of self-satisfaction.” Ed Begley

If a lefty is caught destroying the country, it’s “free expression.”
A conservative exposing a lefty destroying the country is a “crime”.

No doubt these same innocents were horrified when a FL couple secretly recorded Newt’s cell phone call some years back.

This was a scheme to put out a propaganda video/film while concealing the real funding, which would certainly taint its veracity and sincerity. That the targeted individuals saw nothing wrong with keeping an air-tight seal on the funding details, is in itself a vast hypocrisy, especially when they want completely transparent lists of donors and sources of funding for those with differing views from their own.

Karma is truly a nasty beast. It really does go for the gluteus maximus.
