Whistleblower Ambushed, Project Veritas Threatened After Uncovering Deep State Network Tied to Bill Barr
August 26, 2025
Project Veritas

Key Points

    *Project Veritas faces threats and a whistleblower survives a possible assassination attempt after exposing corruption involving former Attorney General Bill Barr, media figure Armstrong Williams, and billionaire CEO Julian Reis.

    *“I know the shot missed you, which is a shame.” - Armstrong Williams, CEO Howard Stirk Holdings

    *“If you don’t want to end up like Patricia, you’d better take down the post you made exposing my company." - Julian Reis, CEO Superordinary

Following the release of three explosive episodes exposing corruption among Washington, D.C. insiders, including former Attorney General Bill Barr, media figure Armstrong Williams, and billionaire CEO Julian Reis, Project Veritas is facing significant threats. The whistleblower at the center of the investigation, Patricia Lélis, has also survived a possible assassination attempt reportedly linked to her former employer, Williams.

On the morning of Sunday, August 17, 2025, Lélis was awakened by gunshots outside her apartment, one of which struck and damaged her apartment building. A police report and text messages exclusively reviewed by Project Veritas reveal that two days after the attack, Lélis received a threatening message from a phone number tied to Armstrong Williams, stating, “I know the shot missed you, which is a shame.”  ...

Apparently, PV did a series of reports on Barr's alleged visa scheme. Here's a link to the first episode.

Meh...the 'FINAL' solution to this is very simple.

However, I cannot share it on a public forum.

Here's more on the alleged scheming between Barr and Williams:

A whistleblower, currently under indictment by the U.S. Department of Justice and granted political asylum in an undisclosed foreign country, has provided Project Veritas with explosive evidence alleging secret meetings orchestrated by former U.S. Attorney General William P. Barr, media figure Armstrong Williams, and other prominent Washington, D.C., insiders to plan the prosecution of President Donald Trump, his allies, and January 6 defendants.

Patrícia Lélis, hired in 2021 by Armstrong Williams’ media company, Howard Stirk Holdings, claims she attended dozens of meetings where Barr and others devised legal strategies to target Trump supporters and block his political comeback. She provided Project Veritas with extensive handwritten notes and photos documenting these secret discussions which took place from 2021-2023.

Lélis detailed a September 13, 2021, meeting involving herself, Armstrong Williams, CNN Commentator Shermichael Singleton, and former Attorney General William P. Barr, which focused on strategizing for the newly formed January 6th Committee. “The investigation will be focused on people close to Trump and make efforts to formally prosecute these people,” Lélis wrote.

Her notes reveal that Barr provided a list of targets, including Steve Bannon, Rudy Giuliani, Stewart Rhodes, Enrique Tarrio, Jeffrey Clark, Oath Keepers, and Proud Boys. Following this meeting, many of these individuals were subsequently subpoenaed to testify before the January 6 Committee or faced charges related to January 6th or the 2020 election, demonstrating Barr’s apparent influence in driving the legal actions against them. ...

Would it be akin to Dick the Butcher's line -- Henry VI, Part 2, act 4, scene 2, line 73?

Sounds like some legs need to be broken as a counterwarning.

Project Veritas has blown the lid off of what looks like one of the most disturbing scandals in American history. Their whistleblower, Patrícia Lélis, says former Attorney General Bill Barr and media insider Armstrong Williams were running a dirty operation that touched everything from visa fraud to foreign bribes to backroom DOJ meetings. At the center of it all, according to Project Veritas, is Barr’s long shadowy relationship with the intelligence community — the very heart of the Deep State.

To understand the allegations, you have to look at Barr’s history. His own father, Donald Barr, had deep ties to intelligence circles and even gave Jeffrey Epstein one of his first jobs at the Dalton School in New York despite Epstein lacking a college degree. Years later, Bill Barr himself became Attorney General.

And it was during Barr’s tenure at DOJ that Jeffrey Epstein mysteriously died in a federal jail under “suicide watch” — with the cameras turned off and the guards asleep.

Many Americans have never believed the official story, and it is no accident that Barr’s name is forever tied to it.

Now, Project Veritas is reporting that Barr’s CIA ties stretch into an illegal visa fraud operation. Lélis claims that fake companies were created to funnel wealthy foreigners into the U.S. under the E-2 visa program. Barr allegedly knew the companies were not real but supported the scheme anyway. According to her, Armstrong Williams instructed her to handle $700,000 in fraudulent funds and threatened her green card when she asked questions.

But the bigger picture is what came next. Lélis says Barr and Williams sat in secret meetings after 2020 where they openly discussed how to stop Trump from ever coming back to power. Barr, the same man who once ran the Justice Department, allegedly suggested using RICO charges because they are nearly impossible to fight. The meetings included names like Steve Bannon, Rudy Giuliani, the Proud Boys, and Oath Keepers. According to Project Veritas, this was not speculation — there are notes, texts, and documents showing Barr’s involvement in plotting raids, subpoenas, and coordination with prosecutors like Jack Smith and Fani Willis.

At the same time, Williams is accused of serving as the money man. Project Veritas reports claims that Turkish and Qatari officials funneled cash, perks, and even gold bars into America through Williams’ projects. The whistleblower says Mayor Eric Adams benefited from these payoffs and that a suitcase of gold ended up in the circle of Senator Bob Menendez, who was later convicted for corruption. Burner phones were allegedly used to keep all of these communications off the record, with Barr himself in the loop.

The retaliation against Lélis has been brutal. After she went to the FBI, she says prosecutors threatened her, slapped her with 19 charges, and even hinted at framing her as tied to cartels.

She survived a shooting at her apartment and later received a message that read, “A Shame the Shot Missed.” Instead of Barr or Williams facing justice, the whistleblower has been targeted, which is exactly how the Deep State protects its own.

So let’s connect the dots:
Bill Barr’s father had intelligence ties and personally opened the door for Epstein.
Bill Barr was Attorney General when Epstein conveniently died behind bars. Now a whistleblower claims Barr’s CIA connections are tied to visa fraud, bribes, and plots to stop Trump.
Whether it is protecting Epstein, silencing whistleblowers, or using RICO charges to crush political opponents, Barr’s name keeps showing up where corruption and cover-ups thrive.

According to Project Veritas and their whistleblower, here is the case against Barr and Williams:
• Fake companies used to run an E-2 visa fraud scheme
• Secret meetings to plot RICO charges and FBI raids against Trump allies
• Coordination with Jack Smith, Fani Willis, and others to weaponize the law
• Foreign bribes and payoffs, including a suitcase of gold bars
• Burner phones to conceal high-level communications
• Retaliation and threats against the whistleblower, including a shooting
• Barr’s undisclosed CIA ties connected to the scheme
• Barr’s family history tied to intelligence networks and Epstein, and his role as AG when Epstein died under suspicious circumstances

If these allegations are true, they paint a picture of Bill Barr not as a public servant, but as a Deep State operator whose loyalties lie with the intelligence agencies, the corrupt elite, and anyone who will pay to keep Trump out of power.

America deserves answers.

One point of issue: wealthy foreigners don’t have to be “funneled” into the E-2 visa program, they just have to make an investment in a company they control that is itself engaged in a real business in the U.S. 

Since they are wealthy, almost by definition they will qualify for the E-2 without subterfuge.

The problem arises when the person overstays that Visa.  I doubt that happens very often because money is at stake. 

Back in my working days in R & D, I was surprised that non of the foreign Scientists I worked with had any kind of Visa because they were Citizens of the US.  Visas were expensive and it was cheaper for the company to hire Citizens than dealing with a recurring Visa fee.

It’s not that difficult to get a E-2 visa extended.  Just file a 1040-NR each year reporting your U.S. source income and keep your investment in the U.S. company you set up going.

Pretty easy.  Set up an LLC with the foreign investor as the 51% member (or greater), buy a bicycle shop, put some money into upgrading the facilities, and you’re off to the races, so to speak.  Easy peasy. And yes, I’ve seen it done that way without a scintilla of subterfuge involved.

That is certainly believable!  I've heard it said that people would be astonished at what immigration is legal in the US.  OTOH, the millions of border-jumpers and Visa overstays are the true targets of the ICE actions we are seeing right now.

[Free Vulcan]

Maybe I missed it, but is this happening now? If so, track down who's doing it, fire them, put them at the bottom of a hole for awhile till they rat out the network.

The Project Veritas story just broke in the past week or so, but we've know about the players mentioned for years.  Yes, a deep, dark hole is called for!

ICE would be better off raiding meat packing plants and large scale farms if they wanted to catch the illegals who are really a net drain on the economy.

I dunno if I'll buy in, precisely for that reason. OKeefe's ouster looked just like a Democrat takeover plot at the time. I had put PV in the 'zombie' category, similar to Drudge Report. I've seen nothing to change that opinion.

I'll say this, it's a big and tall tale. Not saying it's false, but claims of that size with those kind of big players needs airtight verification, not just accusation.

What we are talking about it tantamount to a coup, regardless of who the target was.

Smells like BS to me... but I'll keep an open mind.

That's right. Evidence is required, and it will have to be bulletproof. If not it's just grist for the gossip mill. 

OTOH, if the evidence is there, and proved true - then chips fall where they may, zombie or not.

Meh. No balls. O'Keefe would still publish - He still does from time to time.

Even so - So be it... So long as it gets published by the courts.
