Project Veritas, whose public face has always been its founder James O’Keefe, has been hit with a scandal. A whistleblower has come forward regarding the recent news that O’Keefe has been put on leave and stripped of his role in the company. According to this unnamed whistleblower, O’Keefe has fallen victim to a lack of proper corporate structure at Project Veritas, which is divided into two separate organizations with different boards and funding.

The whistleblower alleges that two ringleaders, Matt Tyrmand and Barry Hinckley, have taken advantage of the situation to push O’Keefe out. The board members and C-suite officers involved in the attempt to remove O’Keefe are listed in the Twitter thread. The whistleblower describes the board’s decision as a “Stalinesque kangaroo court trial.”

THREAD: The Project Veritas Coup

A whistleblower has contacted me about the news that @JamesOKeefeIII was put on leave and stripped of all authority at @Project_Veritas

This is difficult for me to publish, as a STAUNCH supporter of PV for years & even a VIP at their events.

Project Veritas has experienced huge success recently with its reinstatement on Twitter and the viral videos exposing corruption at Pfizer. The removal of James O’Keefe comes shortly after this win, and many people have speculated about the reasons behind it. Candace Owens of the Daily Wire has come out in support of O’Keefe, stating: “There is no Project Veritas without James O’Keefe. I say this as a donor to the organization, but more importantly, as a colleague who watched him pour everything he had into PV over the years. The money and supporters will follow James.”

James O'Keefe works for Project Veritas, he doesn't own it.

He founded PV, and the company is not public, so who owns it, in your opinion?

Drudge had a no compete clause on the contract of the bye out. He no longer works on the site that has his name. I suppose he is living the high-life some where.

I read this about him today. “I met James once very, very arrogant guy. I LOVE what he does but I think he’s probably intolerable to work for.

I met him at a speaking engagement and he made everyone wait almost 30 minutes for him to show up. No apology.

His presentation was great though. Just full of himself. Imo”

[Salty Longshanks]

“James could form a new organization and take his donors with him so fast it would make the snowflakes’ heads swim.”

I’ve had nothing but faith in James since he, and Hannah Giles infiltrated ACORN many moons ago in the days of “Jug Ears”, and “Big Mike”.
I’m in complete agreement.

[Yo-Yo]

PV is a 403(c)(3) corp and controlled by a board of directors. It is the board that fired James.

[Albion Wilde]

But he is the chairman.

[Sir Bangaz Cracka]

“I agree. James OKeefe is PV. There is no PV without him.”

Maybe, just perhaps...that’s what they’re banking on.

[Words Matter]

Hope they resolve it.

Some idiots at Apple drove Steve Jobs away. That didn’t work out. Neither will this.

[boxlunch]

Go back to Pfizer, loser

[Jane Long]

I suspect you’re right.

Let’s see the Board’s bank accounts.

Maybe a blessing in disguise. O’keefe is the heart of project Veritas, but project Veritas is so well known that at some point it must be getting easier to track and prevent infiltration and revelation of sensitive material. Having to start over with something new that is unknown should actually help the infiltration process.

[erlayman]

Were they not allowed to resign ? If he is one paid leave for illegalities that is different. But independent journalists complaining about a boss being “outright cruel” is a new one.

[Wallace T.]

Like the Drudge Report, Project Veritas is in a niche market. When the new owners diluted Drudge's cutting edge character, it lost most of its mostly conservative audience. In a business that does not require large capital, O’Keefe can set up shop in a year or less under another company. His audience will migrate to the new business.

[Yo-Yo]

But he is the chairman.

Which gives him one vote on the board.

The board has suspended O'Keefe and is deciding his future.

[TakebackGOP]

I don’t like James. It’s not about Pfizer

[TakebackGOP]

There have been Hollywood executive who’ve had to resign.

[M_Continuum]

Prepare to be burned at the stake

[mlitefan]

I don’t like James. It’s not about Pfizer

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You don’t like someone who has been exposing the extremism of woke corporations and left-wing entities? Shining a light on their corruption? Thats interesting.

Do you like what he does but you just don’t like the guy? And you have to admit.....the timing of this is, well, interesting.......

[TakebackGOP]

I don’t like him using decoys on dates. I don’t mind when they filmed Van Jones saying Russia and Trump was a nothing burger.
