Apparently, when the Project Veritas board of directors fired founder and CEO James O’Keefe, they didn’t expect the result to be a collapse in their operational business model. As the kids would say, Veritas f**ked around and found out.
Stunningly, Project Veritas is now suing James O’Keefe, the man they fired, for having the audacity to launch O’Keefe Media Group (OMG), and they are demanding a court order to stop O’Keefe from earning a living. [FULL pdf HERE]
According to the lawsuit, O’Keefe will not stop doing the expose’ journalism and activism that O’Keefe is known for. Project Veritas is not happy, because many of the donors and supporters have left PV to follow James O’Keefe at OMG.
Veritas demands an injunction against O’Keefe, which may stop people -workers and donors- from leaving PV to join him. The lawsuit is a little extreme in the way it is written as an effort to convince a civil jury to find in their favor. [READ HERE]
Project Veritas sounds like they are an organization full of professional Republicans.
And sdny is the court handling the case so they will win a large judgement against him which he will have to appeal costing him millions in legal fees.
Hold the judges to the Constitution and call them out for sedition and treason, which they do commit quite regularly.
Article VI Section 2 of the US Constitution is considered the Supremacy Clause:
This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.
The general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The U. S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and any statute, to be valid, must be in agreement. It is impossible for any law which violates the Constitution to be valid.
“All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.” Marbury vs Madison, 5 US (2 Cranch), 137, 174, 176, (1803)
And WHY would anyone trust a judge when we were warned NOT to consider the judges final arbitrators or we would be an oligarchy.
“To consider judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions is a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.” – Thomas Jefferson
“The powers of the legislature are defined and limited; and that those limits may not be mistaken or forgotten, the constitution is written,” – John Marshall
I heard the Constitution is alive and breathing and as fluid as gender.
Seriously, the article you point out appears to me to mean just what it says, but we even have SC Justices believing our freedoms can be negated by Congress as long as they pass a law, and that legislatures in all 50 states can override the Bill of Rights if they so choose.
Courts have all been de-constitutionalized and are held to bad case law decisions made by evil judges at higher court levels.
Yeah, expecting the judges to adhere to the constitution is really working… Especially for J6 prisoners (or are they hostages?) and Trump.
“Hold the judges to the Constitution and call them out for sedition and treason, which they do commit quite regularly.” Really, really great concept, judges ruling according to the law and not their own degenerate values or ruling according to who pays them the most under the table.
If a judge won’t rule according to the law, calling them out is not going to change anything but, I wish it could be done.
Yep. Another pile of steaming cow flop brought to by the SDNY.
I think PV was taken over by DemScum in disguise.
As soon as O’Keefe started exposing the crimes of the Democrats Big Pharma and their woke pedo hangers-on, they got shirty and fired him.
The unmitigated gall of these people. Well I think Tucker and O’Keefe should get together
Don’t be naïve. The real scum in this are RINO’s. Their goal all along was to destroy PV from within. Mitch McConnell, assuming he isn’t a brain dead zombie politician by now, is smiling all the way to more election loses.
this…^^^^^…RINO SCUM are a bigger threat then the skank Democrats.
So a federal charge in the Southern Distric of New York, Good luck getting a fair trial
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
1331 and 18 U.S.C. § 1836(c) as this is an action for, inter alia, misappropriation of a trade secret
and is, therefore, a federal question under 18 U.S.C. § 1836, et seq.
Then the court is defunct, NULL and VOID as it is filled with treason that goes against their sworn oaths to uphold and protect the US Constitution.
TREASON.
The traitors might be suing O’Keefe to put a major drag on his finances by hiring lawyers.
Lawfare plain and simple
That does seem to be the new strategy of the left…just sue everyone you don’t like until they’re broke. In IL it will probably begin soon with pregnancy centers, gun manufacturers and gun dealers, since they just passed new laws allowing the state and families of gun victims to track them all down.
Conservatism, Inc earning the hate.
Er…that would be CONservatism. That’s a different thing altogether…
Project Veritas simply got Bud Lit. And whoever advised them to take this tact … is an absolute imbecile. They SHOULD HAVE seen all this coming … OKeefe moving on doing his thing, and the loyal donors following him. PV is effectively DOA post-O’Keefe. … pfffttttt! Good riddance. Have they even issued any exposé’s since they chopped their own balls off? Man oh man … what’s with all the self-mutilation fetish among these “power players”?
Counter-suit in a jurisdiction favorable to O’Keefe. Shop for supportive judge in city with supportive jurors. It’s what they do. Two can play. Lawfare.
And go after the SDNY judges and courts for sedition and treason.
They used their offices to abuse powers against the citizenry which is in direct violation of the Constitution they swore an Oath of Office to UPHOLD AND P{ROTECT!!!
James O’Keefe will benefit greatly from this flagrant effort to censor his First Amendment rights. He will gain thousands of supporters and donations in this fight.
Nice thought, but problem is, the First Amendment has been trampled on (successfully) for about five decades, in the name of religion-hate. The clause “or prohibiting the free exercise thereof” has become so deeply buried, shouted down by activists, that most Americans don’t even realize it’s in there.
“Project Veritas sounds like they are an organization full of professional Republicans.”
As Forrest Gump might say: “That’s about it…”
Project Veritas? Never heard of them.
Show us the signed “Noncompete Contract” please.
They state “…misappropriation of a trade secret.” So now journalism is a trade secret? lol
Then don’t read the comments.
James O’Keefe Live on Timcast: 2 hours ago:
thank you so much for this link
YW.
You might be happier at Politico or Vox. Those commenters are top notch.
😂
Trump is an idiot.
You need to get you another budlite and go visit somewhere else.
They are attacking a man’s livelihood that is honest and legal.
Only two things should happen, execute them or strip them of their base of power that they are using to attack people in attempts top kill them by removing their abilities to gain food, water, and shelter (which are the three basics NEEDED for living).
Currently they are removing Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of anything they desire. That is antithetical to these United States and the Constitution which is the supreme law of the USA.
The countersuit could be a beaut.
I’m not sure offending malign vanity is reasonable cause for the action the usurpers have begun.
PV may have tried to get JO’K to sign a non-compete, but I doubt he did that given the circumstances of his dismissal.
The absolute gall of Veritas! They must have turned Dem since they don’t think people should work.
James showed the world how important Truth is. That he named his new group OMG really ticked them off!
Names and addresses of the board of directors please.
F around and find out.
I would be interesting to know the split among the board members. Seems unlikely they would be unanimous in this. The stories there could be really interesting.
“…causing it severe and significant damage…”
What?! I hope this ridiculous lawsuit goes nowhere
“So we got really really mad and shot ourselves in the ass, causing it severe and significant damage.”
Yup. Kinda looks that way from here.
It took O’Keefe a couple weeks to spin up OMG, If I Recall Correctly… in the meantime, Veritas was already hemorrhaging donors. Should be easy to show that PV set themselves up for failure, irrespective of OMG.
It should be dismissed.
Lyle and Erik Menendez, worried about their multimillion dollar estate, shot their father six times, mother ten times with a 12 gauge shotgun. At their murder trial, they begged the jury for mercy, because they were ORPHANS. Sounds like the Veritas coup plotters
God bless this man.
“…they didn’t expect the result to be a collapse in their operational business model. ”
Because they are idjits.
Hubris spares no one.
You might be missing something on The Hill spending time here
Trump is a branding genius, using nick names is a strategy.
Yes… they’ve been branded… for life.
Who can forget… Lyin’ Ted… Cryin’ Chuck… Nervous Nancy… Sleepy Eyes… Rocket Man… and so many others.
of course it is and its obvious. Specifically designed to demean these elitist “paragons of truth and justice”as the small, foolish corrupt kabuki theater schills they are.
Take a short hike off a steep cliff.
Here is your nickname “Troll” and you are flagged.
Leftists are masters at infiltrate, invade and infect.
Lawfare at it’s worst. The goal of these UNIPARTY scum is to silence O’Keefe by any means necessary. SDNY is the perfect corrupt court in which to commit their foul deeds.
Portrait of a patriot.
One of the scumbags behind this, both the firing and the suit, is Matthew Tiarmand – a big influencer in the DeSantis camp. He’s a buddy of Steve Cortes and Co.
Unintended consequences can really sting!
James O’Keefe was Project Veritas. They treated him shamefully. When he left my money went with him.
SDNY is the one stop shop for all politically motivated lawsuits (filed against conservatives).
You have to wonder how much money changes hands in these transactions.
This lawsuit, the joke that it is, should have shown up on Babylon Bee; it’s that ridiculous. I’m reading it like this. ‘Just because we terminated James O’Keefe, the guy who started and founded Project Veritas, doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a lot of work to do around here and he owes us. He can’t just be starting his own company doing the same work, even though we did fire him. How dare him do such. Therefore, we feel it’s our right to sue him personally and hold liable his new company from doing that work which by all accounts should have been doing here at Project Veritas, but oh yeah, we fired him, so what. He needs to get back here and get to work. We have families to feed.
That’s the way the justice system has been working under communism.
Unusual charges and unusual verdicts, tailored to fit the individual.
You might call it designer law.
Enemy of the People….. Project Veritas…time to kill it.
All I have to do is see that it’s in the SDNY to tell you that it will be RIGGED RIGGED RIGGED, and PV will win and O’Keefe will be ordered not to work.
PV is a non profit. So the pain of seeing their profits fall brings us to court.
Firing a rain maker is a proven way to clinch non-profit status.
So they want to have court find in favor of their civil torts and see O’Keefe make a profit and forward it to them
How can they win and seek an injunction to stop him from raking in the dough to pay them profits?
So if the court finds in favor of PV, James wins on appeal, they can end up with a Stormy sentence and need to cough up James’ legal fees.
Reminds me of the horse baffles at Churchhill Downs and pondering how to sue the dead horses that ceased and decisted from winning$$$
I wonder if Bud Lite is going to start suing consumers for not buying their beer.
Any judge who does not throw this out of court and start procedures to disbar the lawyers for being stupid and filing it, needs to lose his/her job.
But…we know what will happen!
Looks like the people that worked for him before they got power and fired him didn’t have a clue as to how he was doing what he did. Now they are whining because their paychecks are in peril because of their own doing. Hope the judge just gives the case the old heave-ho and kicks it to the curb.
Okay so they didn’t want O’Keefe naked reporting the corruption and corrupt so they made up O’Keefe’s spendthrift spending and by majority vote of the board O’Keefe was fired. There is NO noncompete agreement that would ban him from investigative journalism given O’Keefe’s work history. It’s not the same as someone who developed a company around product(s) and after being terminated could no longer produce that product(s). If so, none of us would ever be able to work in our field after being terminated.
PV did what is called “Screwing the Pooch”. Hilariously stupid!!
no they sound like disgusting liberals to me. rebublicans? like only GOP are corrupt, democrats are as corrupt as they come!
