Clinton’s accusers are running out of ammunition

Conservative activist James O’Keefe, whose undercover videos brought down ACORN and embarrassed National Public Radio, came to Washington Tuesday to unveil evidence of “illegal activity conducted by high-level employees within Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.”
He then rolled tape of . . . a Canadian woman attempting to buy a T-shirt and some campaign pins at a Clinton rally. To O’Keefe, this was evidence of foreign contributions being made to Clinton – an “illegal activity” with a total value of $75.
Many of the 50 reporters who showed up at the National Press Club for this unveiling felt as if they had been punked.
“My first reaction is this is about buying a T-shirt,” said one. “It doesn’t seem like much of a bombshell.”
“Is this the best thing you have?” I asked O’Keefe.
“Is this a joke?” inquired Olivia Nuzzi of the Daily Beast. “This feels like a prank… We’re talking about buying campaign swag.”
