James O’Keefe calls himself, among other things, a “guerilla journalist” and “muckraker,” which makes him sound like the kind of person who’s not afraid to make enemies. But is he worried that his latest batch of exposés might have landed him in particularly hot water? Here’s what he tweeted this afternoon:
Anything happens to me, there's a deadman's switch on Part III, which will be released Monday. @HillaryClinton and @donnabrazile implicated.
— James O'Keefe (@JamesOKeefeIII) October 21, 2016
InfoWars reporter Joe Biggs is evidently poised to flip the switch if O’Keefe’s not there to do it:
@JamesOKeefeIII and his team have legitimate threats so we are doing what we can to help out and ensure his work gets to the people
— Joe Biggs (@Rambobiggs) October 21, 2016
If anything happens to @JamesOKeefeIII before next videos are released, myself and Alex have the Deadman Switch to get that footage out!

So there you go.
O’Keefe’s getting plenty of well wishes:
@JamesOKeefeIII @HillaryClinton @donnabrazile Stay safe!!

Though some people feel O’Keefe’s getting a little ahead of himself:
@JamesOKeefeIII @HillaryClinton @donnabrazile Drama queen much?
