James O’Keefe Targets Clinton Campaign For Legally Selling A T-Shirt http://t.co/CyHmfh6tvD

O’Keefe’s Project Veritas Action accused the Clinton campaign on September 1 of allowing a Canadian tourist to launder money, in the form of allowing a t-shirt to be purchased.

In the video representatives of the Clinton campaign at a campaign event point out to a woman from Montreal that that the campaign can’t take contributions from anyone who isn’t American. An undercover activist from Project Veritas then makes the purchase on behalf of the Canadian.

As The Washington Post’s Dave Weigel points out: “There are just two catches. One: No one’s ever thrown the book at an American for purchasing merchandise from a campaign, then giving it to a foreigner as a gift. Two: The person who takes the Canadian’s money and gives it to the Clinton campaign is the Project Veritas Action journalist.”

Weigel further notes, “Daniel Pollack, the director of communications at Project Veritas, argued that the on-camera swag exchange was part of a Clinton scandal continuum, comparable to the stories about foreign businessmen donating to Bill Clinton’s foundation and expecting something from Hillary Clinton’s state department.”

O’Keefe held a press conference September 1 to promote the video, where journalists reportedly asked him “Is this a joke?”
