why was PV allowed to exist?

This is a failure of our justice system more than an indictment of PV...I mean, criminals gonna criminal if you let them, and let them they DID

I mean, isn't what they do fucking ILLEGAL? What am I missing? And bugging a SENATOR'S office is only a fucking MISDEMEANOR? In what fucking UNIVERSE? SERIOUSLY....

I' not NEARLY as pissed off at PV as I am with the system that fucking ALLOWED it to continue...Didn't O'Keefe accuse Robert Meuller of statutory rape of a minor? AND NOTHING WAS FUCKING DONE about it?

To be fair, depositing grifted dollars into one's personal accounts is an operation.

So ... the first verb that came to mind when I scanned the headline was *not* "dance".

Everything in rightwing world is one big grift. If you’re not scaring old people into handing over their social security checks, you’re doing it wrong. It’s all about fleecing the suckers from Trump NFTs to Steve Bannon’s We (won’t) Build the Wall scam. O’Keefe’s mistake was killing the golden goose. You have to milk the mark slowly so they don’t realized they’re being conned. You can’t blow through your donations like you’re Trump at the Mar-a-Lago omelette bar.

That just causes the whole house of cards to collapse.

Months ago, maybe even a year, I read a looooong aticle in Mother Jones on what's caused the current fascist clusterfuck in this country. After highlighting several possibilities, the article finally ended with "Fox News Did It" in a matter of words.

I become more and more thankful that Australia does NOT have a Constitutionally protected right to Free Speech.

“I have no idea what ‘operations’ there are to suspend,” PV’s former chief investigative journalist Christian Hartsock told Mediaite."

Chief investigative "journalist"? Isn't the correct term "muckraker"?

I hear what you're saying, but I'd call them more of the media outfit for a disembodied white nationalist state. If they weren't shut down, they should investigate those missing operations. Good riddance to bad rubbish and also F them.

Oh noes, they stolt Jimmy's traid sekrits? Such as his technique for getting caught EVERY time he tries to ratfuck someone else? How can you even put a dollar value on that?

That is quite the accomplishment. Hell, even Trump manages to get away with SOME of his crimes.

you have to hand it to him, it took some doing but, through sheer grit and abject stupidity he did it.

Trump was born on 3rd base, and thinks he hit a triple, but instead all of his good fortune was squandered on some quixotic quest to prove that he was better than Obama. I hope with every fiber of my being he ends up in some form of jail, and I hope it's not the cushy kind.

One of the interesting details of Babylon 5, the SF series was that two races, the Shadows and the Vorlons were fighting for control of Humanities destiny. The Shadows were likened to devils and the Vorlons to angels but the Shadows always told the truth and the Vorlons always lied. You can see that this is truth in real world politics. Project Veritas which was suppose to tell the truth always lied. While those lefty, marxist communists are in the habit of telling the truth.

It's pretty funny that this bullshit factory actually had an HR director. As if it's a legitimate organization.

Good riddance. I had two of “investigators “ inspired by them show up at my front door one fine Sunday afternoon and proceed to ask me questions about my donation history to Democratic candidates.
