Conservative activist caught ratf**king Russ Feingold campaign
You cannot make this up:Staff for Democratic Senate candidate Russ Feingold busted a right-wing activist who attempted to infiltrate the campaign as a volunteer Wednesday. The unmasking comes after conservative provocateur James O’Keefe blew his own cover in an attempt to run a sting against George Soros ― by forgetting to hang up the phone after leaving a voicemail. (That’ll get ya every time.)
A woman identifying herself as Allison Moss told Feingold staffers that she was active in College Democrats at the University of Minnesota and wanted to get involved in the campaign. She also signed a nondisclosure agreement with the campaign under the same name.
Moss’ backstory started unraveling after a Feingold staffer began pressing her on some of her past work. The staffer said they had someone on the campaign who went to the University of Minnesota and remembered her as a member of the College Republicans. She denied being involved. They also asked her whether she worked for the right-wing group Campus Reform and whether she gave a false name on her nondisclosure agreement.

Moss appears to be Allison Maass, who was a campus correspondent for Campus Reform. Her author page says she “exposes liberal bias and abuse in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.” The group is a project of the Leadership Institute, which is an organization committed to building up conservative activists, and spawned James O’Keefe.
