A brief history of James O'Keefe self-owns, in light of today's WaPo story 1/
2010: James O'Keefe tries to lure a CNN contributor onto a boat stocked with dildoes, only to have his plan exposed by one of his staffers http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/09/29/okeefe.cnn.prank/index.html
2010: O'Keefe's attempt to sting Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu in her office ends with a misdemeanor conviction for the prankster prince http://thehill.com/capital-living/in-the-know/100105-filmmaker-okeefe-sentenced-in-sen-mary-landrieu-break-in
2015: An O'Keefe sting showing a Canadian citizen buying Clinton campaign merch leaves reporters wondering if he's kidding https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/james-okeefe-video-clinton_us_55e5c0a8e4b0aec9f35481a8
2016: O'Keefe's attempt to penetrate a George Soros foundation is blown when O'Keefe forgets to end a voicemail to one target, leaving a recording of his staff planning the entire sting
2017: An environmental group busts an O'Keefe sting in progress, thanks in part to one O'Keefe operative's penchant for leaving his phone and cuff links / recording device (?) on a table https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/has-james-okeefe-accidentally-stung-himself-again
Nov. 2017: O'Keefe has to sue his insurance company, demanding they pay his mounting legal bills https://www.buzzfeed.com/stevenperlberg/james-okeefe-is-fighting-his-insurance-company?utm_term=.xyo1pa7pd#.hdWLR8WRJ
And today, the best O'Keefe own goal in a while: O'Keefe's sting on the Post collapses in part because his operative forgets to take down her GoFundMe page https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/a-woman-approached-the-post-with-dramatic--and-false--tale-about-roy-moore-sje-appears-to-be-part-of-undercover-sting-operation/2017/11/27/0c2e335a-cfb6-11e7-9d3a-bcbe2af58c3a_story.html?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.ee5596cd41d0
Of course, none of this will stop O'Keefe from doing his "stings" or conservative media from getting hyped about them.
Finally, I'd be remiss if I didn't include O'Keefe posing as an arctic mercenary
One more: 2014 - O'Keefe poses as a mustachioed "civics professor" to uncover Dem voter fraud, only for his operatives to be turned away by Democrats http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/10/colorado-dems-james-okeefe/
The hits keep coming. 2014 — O'Keefe tries to record an anti-fracking filmmaker accepting mysterious foreign financing, only to get recorded himself https://www.thedailybeast.com/inside-a-hollywood-hit-job-how-sting-artist-james-okeefe-tried-to-set-his-latest-trap-and-got-stung-himself
And there's still more. 2017 — an O'Keefe operative's cover is blown after she suspiciously asks a lot of questions about teacher-student sex https://theintercept.com/2017/09/29/james-okeefe-project-veritas-michigan-judge-block/
