Judge denies motions by ACORN pranksters

James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles, the "pimp" and "prostitute" of the notorious ACORN scam attempted to invoke the First Amendment as a hedge against a $75,000 lawsuit filed by ACORN employee Juan Carlos Vera under the California Privacy Act.

California federal judge M. James Lorenz has dismissed the argument, stating that since O'Keefe and Giles had established a mutual understanding with Vera that the conversation would remain confidential, rules protecting journalists did not apply.

Additionally, Giles attempted to shift the onus of the blame for the prank entirely to O'Keefe, in that he wore the camera used to record the conversations. Judge Lorenz denied that motion as well, ruling that the Law "is directed to the surreptitious recording of confidential communications and not the manner or method of recording the conversation", meaning Giles bears equal culpability in the suit.

O'Keefe right down to his last shit stained pair of underwear!

"Wasn't me!" :shrug:

:rofl:

That was part of the videos that I thought most amusing, O'Keefe and his buddy basically filmed her a$$ for 6 hours. This is the same O'Keefe who as part of the scam on the CNN reporter was just supposed to use his worldly charms (that was actually written as part of the plan).

Let me say that she ain't hard on the eyes ....which may have been part of the reason Fox News viewers ate up the video unquestioned.

She might have to live up to her "prankster image" now, to pay her bills.............awwwwwwwwwwww

hacky "investigative" group C3 (non-profit) status.

In its application, Project Veritas said it planned to pursue as many as a half-dozen journalism projects and conduct five two- to three-day training sessions for people interested in learning how to do such projects on their own. “I can’t tell you the secret sauce of it, but we do have a training method,” Mr. O’Keefe said. “There are many people learning this method and learning how to expose abusive power in creative ways.” He said he would work as the organization’s “muckraker in chief,” for which he will be paid about $120,000 a year, according to the group’s application.

It raised $2,367 last year, according to the filing, and expects that figure to grow to $1.65 million over the next three years, though Mr. O’Keefe described that as “a sort of dream.” The group has hired a firm led by Richard Viguerie, a conservative strategist, to help it raise money..."

Since when do 'pranksters' ruin people's lives, destroy non-profits and the jobs that were provided?

O'Keefe or Hannah Giles. Glad they are both getting the book thrown at them.

Secret sauce lol. Video editing isn't that much of a strategy, weasel.

Oh, wait....

What a misnomer.

Mr Breitbart has very deep pockets.

Conservoes are into law-and-order - she should appreciate the free lesson the judge gave her and being held accountable.

So far, he has gotten by with just fines.

This wasn't a joke.

One of them is already convicted of a related crime.

Woe betide the lass!

They're felons. Social terrorists who thrive on hatred and disunity.
