Do you think it's possible that Moore has some kind of tie to O'Keefe?

1. O'keefe to Bannon to Moore

[Brother Buzz]

5. Yep

[Fred Sanders]

7. Bannon to O'Keefe to Bannon to Moore to Bannon to O'Keefe... to jail.

2. Looks more than likely there's a connection. nt

[canetoad]

3. OK, this is a bit convoluted

First thoughts, because the person who went to WaPo had such an outrageous story, was that she would get it out there. Then it would be proven untrue. Then Moore could discredit all his accusers.

Feasible?

4. That's the premise of this theory.

Personally, I think there's something to it, but proving so is the issue.

9. Not crazy at all.

I must think like a criminal because I posited this idea aloud to my SO when Moore's accusers first went public. I said the R's will send out a fake accuser, discredit her, then use it to discredit them all.

I didn't anticipate the fake stories about Franken. I was half right about the means, but 100% right that the R's are liars and cheats!

10. If WaPo had published the story of Jaime Phillips it would have sooner or later been uncovered

as being false, possibly by James O'Keefe, himself. If one accuser could be discredited, it would serve to discredit the other reports that WaPo made about sexual misconduct by Moore. The testimony of the other women would have been dismissed, as well.

16. it worked on acorn...remember how fast they were defunded?

the nyt was complicit in that, glad wp did a better job

[genxlib]

6. That does sound fishy

I have bigger questions about the first gap than the second.

Would they really have the audacity to try and pull that off in one day. No wonder the PV story fell apart if it was constructed that quickly.

8. The attempt to corrupt public trust and truth was over 2 weeks long.

[chowder66]

11. They probably had more time than that since the media typically asks the subject Moore

if they have any response before publishing. He most likely got on the phone to someone to do something about this.

[genxlib]

12. I had actually included that insinuation myself

Then decided to edit it out.

It does make one wonder.

Then again, Okeefe isn't nearly the mastermind that he thinks he is so I wouldn't put it past him to rush headlong into something like that with no preparation.

So, it was either coordinated or reckless

[chowder66]

13. It wouldn't take long either way. Obviously they have someone on speed dial.

My guess is that it was both coordinated and reckless.

14. By Nov 9 - word would have been long out about WaPo reporters poking around...

Does anyone know when the WaPo reporters started this investigation...?

15. ASSOCIATIONS!!!!
