The Washington Post has been tested for «lice»

This autumn was the season of the news about the sex scandals associated with the people with great power. Past headlines riddled with the names Harvey Weinstein and Kevin spacey, almost nobody passed , and the media that publishes shocking information on this topic, immediately raised the ratings.

And here is the public interest in these figures has become a little to subside, when suddenly one of the oldest news publications Washington has a chance to remove the mask with another «hero».

The Washington Post has been tested for «lice»

With journalists from The Washington Post contacted the woman, who promised to tell them the truth about Roy Moore, politics-the Republican who wants to go to the December elections to the Senate from Alabama.

Note that in early November, the newspaper published an article based on interviews with four women who in the late 70’s and early 80’s had the experience of close contact with Roy Moore.

One of them, Whether Curfman, admitted that when she was 14 years, 32-year-old Moore, who at that time worked as an assistant district attorney, has twice brought her to his home. The second time he undressed the girl, touched her body and put her hand on his crotch.

But when Lee asked him to stop and get her out of there, Moore dutifully complied with the request. They never saw each other, though Roy and called her.

The other three girls, which he was interested, too, was underage. None of them romantic intimacy with Moore is not reached then kisses and hugs.

After learning about the article, Roy Moore said that «these allegations are completely false» and are «desperate political attack.» He was supported by the auditor state of Alabama Jim Zeigler.

It would seem that the question is closed. But in the same month, two journalists who worked on writing the article about Moore received encrypted emails.

They assume that the BD pointed out that has information on PoE, which she hid for many years, and afraid for their safety.

Joining her in conversation, the reporter Beth Reinhard agreed to meet in new York, where the woman, introduced himself as Jamie Phillips, now resides.

Soon, Phillips said that a few days before thanksgiving she will go to the capital for shopping, so I brought the interview to a local shopping centre.

Sitting opposite the journalist, Jamie said that in 1992, when she was 15 years old, she started having «secret» sexual relationship with Roy Moore. In the end, she got pregnant and he took her to Mississippi to get an abortion.

When finished with the story, 41-year-old woman asked Reinhard, will that guarantee that if this story is published, the Moore lose the election. Beth replied that he couldn’t promise anything, especially, it will have to check heard.

Expressing dissatisfaction from the conducted interviews, Phillips agreed to meet with another reporter for the publication, Stephanie Mccrummen.

During the conversation, which took place in the restaurant of a shopping center the next day, Jamie asked the journalist to assure her that the article will result in the defeat of Moore. But failed to achieve the promises and Mccrummen.

Instead, Stephanie Phillips asked clarifying questions, and answers once again strengthened her suspicions about the sincerity of the interviewee.

Moreover, the analysis of the first interview, Jamie revealed a large number of inconsistencies in her story, and the subsequent fact-checking convinced the team to The Washington Post that some of the information is highly questionable.

For example, Phillips insisted that her family moved frequently, so she lived in Alabama one summerwhen she was fifteen. However, her phone number contains the code of this state.

And she mentioned that she works at NFM Lending, located in new York, but her name was known only to the Maryland branch, where Jamie went in the summer of 2016.

But the greatest interest for journalists presented one campaign on the crowdfunding platform GoFundMe. Fundraising for the move to new York to get a new job in the «conservative media movement» and «fight the lies and ploys of the liberal mainstream media», was announced by none other than Jamie Phillips.

«I’ll use your skills to research and verify the facts to help our movement», – stated in the description of the campaign.

It is noteworthy that the fundraiser began two months after the new York non-profit organization Project Veritas has announced vacancies for the post of «secret correspondent,» reports The Washington Post.

On the website of Project Veritas indicated that its mission is to «investigate and expose corruption, dishonesty, abuse of authority, waste, fraud, and other misconduct of public and private institutions».

Among the duties that will be assigned to a secret correspondent, were the following:

  • the study of the script;
  • training background to maintain role;
  • a personal meeting or access the targets.

When Mccrummen handed Jamie a printed version of the campaign on GoFundMe.com and asked for an explanation, Phillips said that the fundraiser was organized really it. But, she said, she wanted to get into the online news site The Daily Caller, however, did not pass the interview.

Answering the question of who interviewed her, Jamie said the name of Katie Johnson. And soon said that it did not intend more to continue the conversation and answer the questions. And left.

Referring to the staff of The Daily Caller, editor The Washington Post Paul Conner learned that the publishing is not working neither Cathy Johnson, and no interview was conducted with Jamie Phillips.

On the same day the campaign Phillips on GoFundMe.com ceased to be active, when it raised $250 of the budgeted $2,000. Last version of the page with text available for reference.

The icing on the cake was that last Monday, Jamie was seen entering the building in the new York office of Project Veritas, and her car was parked in the employee Parking lot longer hours. More phone calls from reporters, she did not answer.

And a little more «frosting.» In mid-November, al Moore, pastor of the Baptist Church (Fountain Of Faith Baptist Church) in the Alabama town of Creole, has received a voice message from a man who identified himself as an employee of The Washington Post.

Posing as Bernie Bernstein, and then called himself al, the man said he was looking for a woman aged 54-57 years living in the area and ready to make defamatory comments to the address Roy Moore for compensation of $5,000 to $7,000.

When the editors of the Washington Post found out about this, she said that a fellow named Bernie or al Bernstein they have never worked and talked about this provocation in his article.

And last Monday on the website of Twitter user @umpire43 there was a post that living in Alabama a friend of his wife «just told that the journalist of The Washington Post named Beth offered her $1,000 for the accusation against Roy Moore».

As stated by the editors, this information is also false. Subsequently the account @umpire43 was removed.
