A bit about Veritas funding:

Much of the funding for Project Veritas comes from anonymous donations through Donors Trust, a conservative, American nonprofit donor-advised fund backed by the Koch brothers, which according to its promotional materials, says that it will "keep your charitable giving private, especially gifts funding sensitive or controversial issues."[21][22] Prominent donors include the Trump Foundation, which, in May 2015, donated $10,000.

I consider them thoroughly partisan (and maybe even Zionist), but I'm happy to see some actual investigative journalism happening.

wikipedia lol

they seem to be trying to paint them as a right wing organization without much evidence

Project Veritas is clearly a right wing/conservative operation, look at the targets of all of their stories. And OKeefe is already a public figure at this point.

Here's more on the funding... maybe he's a libertarian agent provocateur, or maybe he's just in it for the Koch! https://thinkprogress.org/project-veritas-funding-2e4ef0319195/

But then of course I stumbled onto some indirect sort-of Israel connections: https://www.jpost.com/Diaspora/Some-funding-sources-of-conservative-Project-Veritas-also-fund-Jewish-causes-515751

One-sided, but very good watchdog journalism.
Exposed some criminal activities in previous election, that no-one else reported about. Like organizing and initiating violence during Trump gatherings.
