A woman approached The Post with dramatic — and false — tale about Roy Moore. She appears to be part of undercover sting operation.

By Shawn Boburg, Aaron C. Davis and Alice Crites November 27 at 5:55 PM

A woman who falsely claimed to The Washington Post that Roy Moore, the Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Alabama, impregnated her as a teenager appears to work with an organization that uses deceptive tactics to secretly record conversations in an effort to embarrass its targets.

In a series of interviews over two weeks, the woman shared a dramatic story about an alleged sexual relationship with Moore in 1992 that led to an abortion when she was 15. During the interviews, she repeatedly pressed Post reporters to give their opinions on the effects that her claims could have on Moore’s candidacy if she went public.

The Post did not publish an article based on her unsubstantiated account. When Post reporters confronted her with inconsistencies in her story and an Internet posting that raised doubts about her motivations, she insisted that she was not working with any organization that targets journalists.

But on Monday morning, Post reporters saw her walking into the New York offices of Project Veritas, an organization that targets the mainstream news media and left-leaning groups. The organization sets up undercover “stings” that involve using false cover stories and covert video recordings meant to expose what the group says is media bias.

James O’Keefe, the founder of Project Veritas who was convicted of a misdemeanor in 2010 for using a fake identity to enter a federal building during a previous sting, declined to answer questions about the woman outside the Project Veritas office, a storefront in Mamaroneck, N.Y., on Monday morning shortly after the woman walked inside.

Sorry friend, did not mean to be presumptious and speak for you!

I agreed with your assessment that J O’K is too clever for these rascals. ..
the prediction is my own (stretched, yes) and did not mean to incorporate you.

Just curious here...if you think the women that accused Moore are PV plants...how do you also think that J O’K is too clever for these rascals?

I might be being dense this evening, but this doesn’t make sense to me. Just asking.

If he revealed them to be plants, I would say he would have indeed outsmarted the paper(rascals).

Again, it is a “swing at the fences” prediction ..and I can be a little paranoid(at least according to THEM). haha

Ok, okay. I respectfully disagree.

J O’K wouldn’t set up plants to the WP, and then expose that they were plants. It would completely discredit him and PV.

But you’re entitle to you opinion and to “swing at the fences”, so we’ll wait and see.

If Leigh Corfman and Beverly Young Nelson have a “right to be believed”, then why doesn’t Jaime Phillips have a right to be believed?

Anderson Blooper interviewed another liar a few minutes ago saying Moore went in the Old Hickory restaurant every day. This comes as employee after employee said they could never remember seeing Moore in the place. Blooper asked the liar why she did the interview and she said “well I heard him say he had never been in the place and that’s a lie, and if he’ll lie about that he’ll lie if he gets in the senate.” Just another paid well to say she definitely remembers a man that she didn’t know come into a restaurant 40 years ago.

Black turnout is supposed to be low in AL, so I’m sure we will see a fake Roy Moore/”Klansman” allegation before we are done.

Correct, the WAPO knew she was lying because they had made up the Moore teeny bopper story out of whole cloth.

And pedophiles do not change stripes, perversions are for life, right A. Weiner?

I agree. She could have been a sting on Veritas, paid from the outset to walk thru Veritas’ doors.

They would be hard to convince since they’ve already done extensive research on Moore and came up with nothing, so they had to invent the stories they did publish.

When she appeared they knew it was so out of character for what they secretly know about him that they were suspicious.

They would not have been suspicious at all if there had been any real meat on what they had earlier reported because her story would have seemed to confirm it.

James gave WaPo his sting video last night. Bezos has to decide if he wants it published. I’m guessing he doesn’t.

The reason the WAPO didn’t bite on this story is really simple: they had to fabricate all the other stories they have already published, so they KNEW this one was a fake!!

Even with Black turnout at 100% can Moore really lose in AL? LOL

I think the women are liars and were never abused.

Not by Moore, anyway. They may have experienced it from someone else.
