Ex-Staffers File Scathing Suit Against Project Veritas
The conservative group Project Veritas has for years sought to embarrass political opponents and members of media organizations by surreptitiously recording them and publicizing their private communications.
But two lawsuits filed in federal court late Sunday by the organization's former employees purported to expose its own inner workings, portraying a "highly sexualized" work culture where daytime drinking and drug use were common, and the group benefited from employees who worked additional hours without pay.
One suit describes a corporate apartment the organization kept as having been used like a "frat house" for drinking, sex, and parties. That lawsuit also discloses the names of more than a dozen of the organization's employees and the identities of field operatives—information that the group has taken significant care to shield.
Jury: Project Veritas Must Pay $120,000 to Democratic Group
A jury in a federal civil case on Thursday found that Project Veritas, a conservative group known for its deceptive tactics, had violated wiretapping laws and fraudulently misrepresented itself as part of a lengthy sting operation against Democratic political consultants.
The jury awarded the consulting firm Democracy Partners $120,000. The decision amounted to a sharp rebuke of the practices that Project Veritas and its founder James O’Keefe have relied on.
In 2016, according to testimony and documents introduced at the trial, Project Veritas carried out a plan to infiltrate Democracy Partners, which worked for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign through the Democratic National Committee.

He's trying to compare fraud and whistleblowers as being the same. Would you expect any less at this point.
I said "Undercover Journalism".
But yes, they serve a whistleblower purpose. Creamers stooge said what he said about intentionally provoking Trumpers with plants. No deceptive editing could put those words in his mouth.

It's a shame the jury didn't award a few more zeros to that number, Project Veritas needs to go broke with their fraudulent practices and outright lies.
