Rep. Jim Moran's son resigns from campaign in wake of damning O'Keefe video

OFFICIAL: PAT MORAN RESIGNS http://t.co/WrKOAZ74 Did Congressman fire his own Son??

As Twitchy reported, James O’Keefe and Project Veritas released a new bombshell video earlier today that showed Pat Moran, field director for his father Rep. Jim Moran’s campaign, conspiring to commit voter fraud. Jim Moran’s political career has long been plagued by corruption, but today’s video adds a new, disturbing layer to the shadiness.

Now, faced with the indisputable evidence of his criminal activity, Pat Moran has resigned:

“Effective immediately, I have resigned from the Moran for Congress campaign,” Patrick Moran said in a statement to TPM sent from his campaign email address.

Once again, the muckrakers at Project Veritas have proven themselves to be invaluable defenders of election integrity. Kudos to these true investigative journalists.
