This is scary. Normally, this would be the kind of thing you’d say would never get legs, but we are talking about Rump, and Sessions — so this could become a very dangerous problem! I think Dems might need to put up a counter protest if this gets anywhere. Not much yet, but this is what I found:

James O'Keefe seeking blanket protection from Jefferson Sessions & the Trump DOJ from investigations of Project Veritas "voter fraud" hunts.
There are many well-published stories about his cons and his vicious partisan attempts to destroy progressive groups. The latest is this new organization (his so-called Project Veritas (as in “truth”) is like McDonalds renaming itself McOrganic), which is apparently raking in cash:

James O’Keefe’s pseudo-journalistic attack-dog group Project Veritas received more than $1.5 million in dark money in 2015, tax returns obtained by Jezebel show. Fueled by funds from two affiliated nonprofits that do not disclose their donors, O’Keefe and his merry band of pranksters spent the past year doing the kind of things they do best—like getting Democratic operatives fired for discussing how to perpetrate mass “voter fraud” and getting antifascist demonstrators arrested for threatening to drop stink bombs.
And there’s plenty evidence that O’Keefe pleases the Shady Bunch in the WH:

...In 2009, when O'Keefe burst into national politics with a cross-country sting of Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), the presidency of Barack Obama was just nine months old. For most of his career, O'Keefe had promised to expose “corruption” not just in government or unions or political campaigns, but in an America where the left set the rules.
At noon on Jan. 20, however, the most powerful office in America transferred to Donald Trump, whom O'Keefe had helped elect. The now-defunct Donald J. Trump Foundation had given $10,000 to O'Keefe's Project Veritas….
So I don’t want to panic, but this is definitely something we shouldn’t ignore, either. O’Keefe shut down ACORN even though he flat out lied about everything — he’s a dangerous man, IMO.
