The Democratic political consultants whose firm was infiltrated last summer by conservative provocateurs is filing a $1 million federal lawsuit against those spies, their bosses and the organizations that supported the plan.
Democracy Partners, a mainstay of progressive circles and a vendor for the Democratic National Committee, and its owner on Thursday filed a 27-page complaint in the District of Columbia’s District Court, citing last year’s gotcha operation, which drew widespread attention among conservative activists. The complaint says the activists conspired with each other, lied to the consulting firm to secure a job for one of the activists, trespassed in private offices, acquired and published confidential information and ran afoul of anti-wiretapping laws.
In their telling, Project Veritas, Project Veritas Action Fund and its leader James O’Keefe obtained evidence of shady political activities undertaken to help Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. O’Keefe, who identifies himself as a “guerilla journalist,” published online secretly recorded videos and stolen documents as supporting evidence. Among his insinuations and allegations: Clinton friends hired mentally ill individuals to protest Donald Trump, helped immigrants in the country illegally to vote; and groups allied with Clinton accepted contributions from foreign sources.
