Dem operative âstepping backâ after video suggests group incited violence at Trump rallies

Washington (CNN) A Democratic operative whose organization was helping Hillary Clintonâs campaign announced Tuesday that he would be âstepping backâ from the campaign after an edited video suggested that he and other staffers hired people to attend Donald Trumpâs campaign rallies and incite violence.
Robert Creamer â husband of Illinois Rep. Jan Schakowsky â announced his resignation in a statement after conservative activist James OâKeefe released a video under his organization Project Veritas Action, which showed Creamer and other operatives purportedly discussing methods for inciting violence at rallies for the Republican nominee.
In the past, OâKeefe and his Project Veritas Action have been criticized for strategically editing footage to create false accusations about people or groups.
Creamer was helping the Democratic National Committee with Clintonâs campaign while working for Democracy Partners, a progressive consulting group. He is also the head of a group called Mobilize, which contracted with the DNC.
Creamer also went to prison awhile ago for financial corruption. And here are his contributions to the Huffington Post. Hereâs the website of Creamerâs business Democracy Partners.
CNN continues:
âI am unwilling to become a distraction to the important task of electing Hilary Clinton, and defeating Donald Trump in the upcoming election,â Creamer said in a statement. âAs a result I have indicated to the Democratic National Committee that I am stepping back from my responsibilities working with the campaign.â
He confirmed that he was referring to the Clinton campaign, with which he was âfully integrated.â
Creamer added that âcontrary to the outrageous claims of the notorious right wing blogger James OâKeefe, we have always adhered to the highest standards of transparency and legality in our work for the DNC.â
He also denied that any of the schemes in the âhypothetical conversationsâ recorded for the video ever took place.
âWe regret the unprofessional and careless hypothetical conversations that were captured on hidden cameras of a regional contractor for our firm, and he is no longer working with us,â he said. âWhile none of the schemes described in the conversations every took place, these conversations do not at all reflect the values of Democracy Partners.â
Democracy Partners called OâKeefeâs video a âwell-funded, systematic spy operation that is the modern day equivalent of the Watergate burglars.â
Creamer told CNN that the national field director of Americans United for Change, Scott Foval, who was also recorded in the video, made false comments that are wrong about inciting violence at the rallies. Foval has since been fired from Americans United for Change, which had a contracting relationship with Democracy Partners.
From Weasel Zippers:
Between 11/21/2009 and 6/24/2016, Robert Creamer appears to have visited the White House 342 times, 340 times as âRobert Creamerâ and twice as âBob Creamerâ.
47 of those visits were direct visits with Obama. Several of those visits included Michelle Obama.
In the video where Democratic operatives talk about how to conduct mass voter fraud, Scott Foval describes Creamer in the videos as the âblack hatâ guy who has taught him so much. Creamer also shows up on another video which covers inciting violence at Trump rallies. Creamer states on video that Clinton is aware of his work, and that his firm, Democracy Partners, has a daily telephone call with the Clinton campaign to coordinate.
One theory on why Democratic operative Foval, who is gay and poz, was so forthcoming:
