That's a bogus statement in Wikipedia.
Take a look at
this:
In the AG's report, it said he called his cousin and left him a message on voice mail right after the meeting, which I don't doubt. Vera didn't give any details on that message about underage prostitution or human smuggling, which strikes me as very strange.
After that, the AG report starts to not make much sense. See if you agree. The meeting with Giles and O'Keefe happened on Tuesday August 18th, and the phone records confirm Vera called his cousin right after the meeting that day. In the video, the smuggling of the girls was to take place "this weekend" on Saturday, which would be the 22nd. According to the AG report,
"Vera eventually spoke with Detective Hernandez on August 27, 2009". That is 9 days after the meeting and 5 days after the girls would have been smuggled into the country. Of course the report refers to phone records on every call between Vera and his cousin, verifying they took place.
Then (from an interview with Vera) on the 28th
"Vera attempted to acquire more information as Detective Hernandez had requested. He sent O’Keefe and Giles an email at the address Giles had given him. The email asked them to call
him. A short time later, O’Keefe called Vera’s cell phone. O’Keefe said the girls would be crossing in Tijuana, but did not give any other details." This is all happening a week after the girls were supposed to have been brought to the US and what strikes me as even more strange, is the report did not verify with phone records, any of the many calls Vera claimed to have had with O'Keefe. Finally, this from the report:
"Several days passed and Vera played phone tag with Detective Hernandez. The first videos of ACORN employees began to surface and Vera realized that O’Keefe and Giles had been acting. He contacted Detective Hernandez on approximately September 11, 2009 and told him the whole thing was a set up and to disregard it." Vera finally manages to gets in touch with his cousin 2 weeks after he obtained information from O'Keefe? Let me also add, that nowhere in that report do they ever present anything from O'Keefe or Giles concerning the San Diego ACORN sting.
Not only is that report on the San Diego incident one sided and exclusively from the perspective of Vera, his co-worker friend and his cousin, their "phone record verified" dates don't match up to the dates laid out during the August 18th meeting with O'Keefe . A meeting where Vera gave O'Keefe his private number and told O'Keefe at the end of the tape to call him, not the other way around. Then when you take into account that the police not only didn't track down O'Keefe through the phone number he gave Vera, they didn't even call to question him. This is human smuggling and child prostitution we're talking about here, not failure to pay a parking ticket.
Doesn't all that sound a bit fishy to you?
I knew that you wouldn't answer, because that's the way the left always deals with common sense and logic when it contradicts their political narratives.
Oh btw... If you still want to stick to the false assertion that the AG said that O'Keefe's lying and editing resulted in those workers being misrepresented in those videos, here's the link to the report so you can back that assertion up:
