Are the Project Veritas videos credible?

No, that's the very problem with the [lack of] coverage concerning these videos. Too many people dismiss them with that mentality; "Oh, corruption is corruption, it's just politics" This neglects the caliber of corruption we're not only taking for granted, but outright seeing to be a proven reality.
It's like if it came out that Hillary eats children, with everyone saying "Well yeah, we've joked about that forever, it's hardly a surprise." No, she
literally
eats children.
I mean, it's really no surprise that liberals aren't reacting to this. Political agenda aside, they can't seem to grasp the difference between allegation and conjecture versus confessed, proven intent to commit criminal activity. Sure, we all assume the worst. But it's an entirely different level we're playing on when the worst is no longer just assumption.
Yet Hillary's media would much rather cover
allegations
of groping women. They might as well just publish a million articles about how Trump blew up the moon, contributed money to Hitler, and created AIDS to kill all the blacks and gays. There's clearly no standard of credibility in journalism anymore. -

That was only a neutral statement about campaign corruption in the country.
Yes.
Believe me, if you were party to the inner workingso fthe Trump campaign, or the Bush campaign, or any other campaign, this would be a small thing.
When H. Ross Perot was ahead in the polls v. Clinton and Bush in the '90s, Bush Sr.'s campaign hired people to obtain nude photos of his daughter engaging in sex acts and threatened to release them unless he withdrew from the race, thinking Bush had a better chance to beat Clinton than Perot.
Perot withdrew because he was already a billionaire, and only ran because people liked his platform. Campign corruption is how legitimate independent candidacy died.

Newsflash: All campaigns are run this way except Sanders. That's why he lost.
Yeah, Bernie Sanders is a real sincere guy. Love how he sold out his supporters and bought a third vacation house.
Believe me. -

Buying a house doesn't reflect on his sincerity. As far as selling out his supporters, after he knew he couldn't win, I think he saw the lesser of two eavis to be Hillary, therefore in his own mind he was serving his supporters by endorsing what he saw to be the next best option.

Based on income, he is literally "in the 4%" of top earners. And he owns a f-cking $600,000 vacation home in addition to two others. And he's endorsed and is campaigning for a woman he has denounced in every way, and whose platform and (public) persona is the diametric opposite of his platform and (public) person. Evidently, they have a tremendous amount in common, so I get it now. He's a smooth liar.
after he knew he couldn't win,
He could have won had these revelations about how HRC's campaign manipulated the nomination process been brought to light.
I think he saw the lesser of two eavis to be Hillary, therefore in his own mind he was serving his supporters by endorsing what he saw to be the next best option.
How, specifically, is she the lesser of two evils? She's a client of the investment banks Sanders claimed "rigged" the economy to "buy elections." She is the embodiment of everything he claimed to oppose before he flipped and became a sellout and bought a THIRD HOUSE
And he is in the 4%. Maybe next year, with book sales and from speeches, he'll become part of the 1%. What a guy.
Believe me. -

Some people got fired, so I would say yes. It is a much smaller scale than they are blowing it up to be. There have only been
31 real voter fraud cases out of 1 BILLION
in general elections. Do the math. Not enough to even make a fraction of an impact. Electoral votes can be bought and should be investigated! -

JAYWALKING THEN JAYWALKING DOES NOT EXIST. YET EVERYWHERE YOU GO YOU SEE IT. WHY WOULD THE PEOPLE THAT BENEFIT FROM THE CRIME INVESTIGATE IT? BETTER QUESTION. WHY AM I ASKING YOUR DUMBASS? THAT QUESTION NEVER WOULD HAVE COME ACROSS YOUR SAD LITTLE MIND.
