NH AG Drops Complaints and Investigation into James O’Keefe and Project Veritas

The New Hampshire Attorney General’s office and Atkinson resident Robert Bell have dropped all complaints and the investigation of James O’Keefe and Project Veritas.

The Union leader reports that,

On Monday, Project Veritas provided the Union Leader with letters from the Attorney General’s office reporting that the grand jury subpoena has been withdrawn, the complaint filed against Project Veritas and O’Keefe by Bell has been dropped, and all complaints to the NH Attorney General against Project Veritas, Project Veritas Action Fund, and O’Keefe have been dismissed.

Why?

After reviewing the law and evidence, Ward wrote investigators determined criminal charges couldn’t be brought, and the state couldn’t sustain its “burden to prove” that the recording violated the law, he said.

They wanted very much to prove he broke the law but could not.

Shortly after being handed the subpoena James O’Keefe was the featured speaker at the 603 alliance Liberty Trumps Socialism Summit.
