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.

It was too obvious.

They orchestrated all the others so they didn’t gave to worry about being hoodwinked with those unprovable 40 year old claims.

O’Keefe can flip it by saying he set it up just to see if the WP properly vetted the ‘witnesses’

In fact he (O’K) can loudly congratulate the WP for ‘catching him’ ... (pull a page from the PDT play book)

Anything to keep the WPs collective mind in an exploding state....

Utterly stupid beyond belief. WHY did she park at Veritas’ HQ? Maybe SHE was the sting ON O’Keefe.

That’s why they questioned it. Because the WAPO itself was in on the crafting of the other stories and they knew something was up. Why else would they doubt a woman claiming she was impregnated by the media-labeled “scumbag”. You would expect the WAPO vultures would have drooled.

She should have started with Gloria...then we’d be hearing about it.

Sounds like a MISSTEP by our side.

This is an obvious false flag. Anybody can walk in an office.

IOW the Compost questioned it because they knew there was nothing there because they participated in "crafting" the other [made-up] stories.

To bad Veritas screwed it up and they caught on that they were being stinged. Since reporters frequently run stings on others I’m not surprised they noticed.

WaPo: “We’re certain there aren’t any ‘real’ victims in this case, so we smelled a rat”.
