James O'Keefe's Newest Political Corruption Investigation - Bigger than ACORN? | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Some have called O'Keefe's latest investigation into the collaboration of political groups, super-pacs and nonprofit organizations on the Left explosive. This looks bigger than the ACORN scandal O'Keefe and his associate Hannah Giles uncovered in 2009.

    O'Keefe's latest video shows the direct link between the Clinton Campaign and the DNC to Democracy Partners and Americans United for Change. Scott Foval, described as a "dark operative" who works along with Robert Creamer, head of Democracy Partners, a Democratic consulting company work to organize "foot soldiers [who} have been inciting violence at political rallies."


    According to this Breitbart article:

• [Robert] Creamer is also the co-founder of Democracy Partners, a consulting group that, according to Project Veritas videos, apparently contracts directly with the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC, and that works with an array of super PACs and consultants to organize, film and publicize their provocations.

    Scott Foval - "who praises Creamer as "diabolical" - explains how "bird-dogging" works: how they plan confrontations in advance, choose particular individuals to provoke, and maximize media coverage.

• FOVAL: So one of the things we do is we stage very authentic grassroots protests right in their faces at their own events. Like, we infiltrate. And then we get it on tape. And then, when our guys get beat up -Robert Creamer said "Wherever Trump and Pence are going to be, we have events and we have a whole team across the country that does that both consultants and people from the Democratic Party. And the Democratic Party apparatus and the people from the campaign, the Clinton campaign and my role with the campaign, is to manage all that."

    There's a North Carolina connection too.

• Scott Foval said that "his organization is responsible for an incident in Asheville, North Carolina in September, where an elderly woman was allegedly assaulted outside a Trump rally.
• In that incident, the 69-year-old woman, wearing an oxygen tank, heckled a visually impaired 73-year-old Trump supporter, then pursued him. She claimed he then punched her in the jaw, though she had no visible injury; his attorney claims she touched him on the shoulder first, and then fell to the ground as he turned around. The national media covered her claims widely, while largely ignoring his. Foval explains that the woman had been "trained" as a part of his operation."

    James O'Keefe/Project Veritas' revelations in their latest investigative video should give everyone in North Carolina pause in light of the fire bombing of the Orange County GOP headquarters this past weekend.
