James O'Keefe Targets Clinton Campaign For Legally Selling A T-Shirt

Conservative activist James O'Keefe has once again overpromised and underdelivered. This time, he claims his latest sting operation found Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign breaking the law, when in reality all that happened was the purchase of a t-shirt.

O'Keefe's Project Veritas Action accused the Clinton campaign on September 1 of allowing a Canadian tourist to launder money, in the form of allowing a t-shirt to be purchased.

In the video representatives of the Clinton campaign at a campaign event point out to a woman from Montreal that that the campaign can't take contributions from anyone who isn't American. An undercover activist from Project Veritas then makes the purchase on behalf of the Canadian.

As The Washington Post's Dave Weigel points out: "There are just two catches. One: No one's ever thrown the book at an American for purchasing merchandise from a campaign, then giving it to a foreigner as a gift. Two: The person who takes the Canadian's money and gives it to the Clinton campaign is the Project Veritas Action journalist."

1. O'Keefe should be sued for using the word Veritas.

FUcking little punk ass nobody. Can he be thrown in jail for being a minor offense against good taste?

5. by now I would think even Repugs would be embarrassed

by his stupidity.----but then again look at their clown car!


....O'Keefe held a press conference September 1 to promote the video, where journalists reportedly asked him "Is this a joke?"

O'Keefe's crew has reportedly already made multiple other attempts to sabotage the Clinton campaign.

Project Veritas last month released a video showing their operative undercover with the Clinton campaign, discussing the registration process and whether they can register people who don't support Clinton.

6. So a straw purchase of a t-shirt?

Somebody tell him they don't even prosecute straw purchases of guns when proven and used in a school shooting- so nobody cares.
