NJO: Right now, Trump seems to like conspiracy nut Alex Jones as his Champion of True Journalism guy. It seems likely that Alex Jones will cruise into a highly-placed position in the Trump administration, like an Information Minister or something like that. But sooner or later, Trump's people are going to want someone who can present themselves with a more slick and credible veneer than that which Jones is capable of mustering, a counterbalancing "Thinking Person's Journalist" for when the obviously crazy guy is being too obviously crazy. As a Catholic religious fanatic, James O'Keefe has been very consistently loyal to the Republican Party (His stings against Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner and State Sen. Mike Ellis, while aberrations at first glance, were about getting rid of liabilities who weren't toeing the Tea Party line), and during the 2016 election season he has shown himself to be very consistently loyal to Donald Trump.
Hope I'm wrong!
