As RedState reported, Project Veritas has found itself in the crosshairs of the FBI recently. That began with a raid on the homes of several of its journalists under the guise of looking for Ashley Biden’s diary. Apparently, a stolen diary is now in the purview of federal authorities. Will they be investigating bike thefts next?
But what was so disturbing, besides the raids happening in the first place, was how quickly The New York Times knew about them. While O’Keefe was asked by the FBI to keep quiet, the Times knew within hours, pointing to a leaker within the bureau.
But while the Department of Justice requested us to not disclose the existence of the subpoena, something very unusual happened. Within an hour of one of our reporters’ homes being secretly raided by the FBI, The New York Times, who we are currently suing for defamation, contacted the Project Veritas reporter for comment. We do not know how The New York Times was aware of the execution of a search warrant at our reporter’s home, or the subject matter of the search warrant, as a Grand Jury investigation is secret.
Days later, O’Keefe would have his home raided as well, and sure enough, the Times once again knew it about it before anyone else. Are you noticing a pattern? Because it’s about to become as obvious as a neon sign.
Two days ago, a court ordered the FBI to stop extracting data from O’Keefe’s phones, which had apparently been seized. Again, all of this is being done under the allegation that…a diary was stolen. But then last night, things boiled over into outright scandal. The Times suddenly started publishing privileged communications between Project Veritas and its legal team. Those messages apparently came from one of O’Keefe’s phones.
The FBI raided Project Veritas on a pretext and is now leaking their privileged communications to the New York Times

I didn’t even think about the fact that PV is currently in litigation with the New York Times
Makes it all the more appalling that the NYT would be publishing Veritas’ privileged communications

Yes, you read that right. Project Veritas had recently sued The New York Times over an unrelated matter, and now the Times has Project Veritas’ privileged communications that reveal their legal strategies. Given the circumstances, there could only be one logical source for that information — the FBI.
– Project Veritas sues the NYT. – The FBI raids O’Keefe’s home. – NYT knows about raid immediately. – FBI steals O’Keefe’s reporter notes. – NYT publishes what his notes were.
This is nuts. The FBI is LEAKING O’Keefe’s privileged info to the NYT.
Helloooo deep state.

This is absolutely scandalous, though nothing is really surprising anymore when dealing with the FBI. It appears that a major newspaper has colluded with the federal government to target an investigative reporting outlet. Of course, there are still more dots to connect, but if there’s some other explanation, I’m not seeing it. The pretense of the original raid simply made no sense (really, a diary?), and the Times has been getting leaks from the bureau every step of the way in order to target Project Veritas.
If this isn’t a coordinated political hit job on a journalistic organization, then what is it? So many lines have now been crossed that it’s hard to keep up with them all. Worse, what can Project Veritas even do about it? The Biden-run DOJ is not going to investigate these leaks, and the damage has already been done. The Times now has possession of these privileged communications even as they are being sued by Project Veritas. Think about how absurd that is.
Let this serve as another example of why the FBI doesn’t need to just be reprimanded, but that it needs to be disbanded. The organization simply can not be trusted to uphold the rights of American citizens any longer, a reality that is borne out by its own politicized actions.
He must have been onto something big
This is all to distract him
FBI = Domestic Terrorists
I believe he did have Biden’s daughter’s diary telling how the old perv showered with her when she was 11.
This is political persecution. The drooling groper has told the fbi to harass Project Veritas because it reveals the truth.
Our country is in deep doodoo.
There are only scandals in a Republican administration.
There must be a method to keep privileged ccommunications secure and off the internet. Encrypted smoke signals. With a warped DOJ there is little to hope for.
The FBI reminds me of that kid in first grade who couldn’t wait to tell on you to the teacher. It didn’t matter how irrelevant whatever it is you’d done, that kid wanted to demonstrate how “good” he was by telling on you. The way this translates to the FBI is, that kid ( *cough* agent) can’t wait to virtue signal to the authority figure, the press. He feels he gets brownie points.
The whole can’t-wait-to-be-the-FBI-leaker thing just reeks of immaturity but at the adult and professional level. And, the sub text is that the media is the “authority” figure. Someone with arrested development needs to be arrested. And, as fair-is-fair, the FBI should raid his house in the early morning hours and then order him to keep silent. (And, ‘ya know what? He would.)

someone had it and offered it them, claiming they have other “customers” they could sell it too
PV bought it , didn’t publish it, and tried to return it..
when that didn’t work they turned it into law enforcement
Someone sent PV Ashley’s diary.
PV could not verify it, and turned it over to law enforcement.
Other sites got a hold of it and published the diary.
It was just a pretext to steal James O’Keefe’s phones, rummage through his files, and see what he working on and investigating.
Merrick Garland and the FBI bastards should go to prison over this.....in a just world, they would.
“There must be a method to keep privileged ccommunications secure and off the internet.”
Paper and pens work.
L
Same FIB that Steele dossier
Same FIB that Strozk Page plot
Same FIB that Kenosha videos
Same FIB that shot Lavoy.
How long will it take to have a congressional hearing called to bring in Wray for the hot seat? Apparently only the top surface was breached with Comey/Stroczk/Page and they left behind more fellow travelers. Can the FBI be any more corrupt? WAY past time to clean house from top to bottom..
Somehow this reminds me of how Sharyl Atkisson was treated by the Obama administration.
The POWER of government has been unleashed against its people. It cannot and will not end well. “Don’t Tread on Me”!!
The FBI reminds me of the STASI. “Defund the Police” actually means “Defund the LOCAL Police”, ie, National Polezei unaccountable to local or State authorities.
Exqueeze me?!
The raid was a massive scandal from its inception.
Garland also weaponized the DOJ and FBI to intimidate parents, he clearly did not have the ethics or brain to be on the highest court. He's a stupid corrupt Leftist activist.
To me, this is to intimidate his donors.
