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.
I believe he did have Biden’s daughter’s diary telling how the old perv showered with her when she was 11.
….but we already ‘knew that’ from rumors, so who needs facts?
OR, is there MORE?
Just shaking my head.
They’re so blatant about it. They really do not care about the law, unless it’s to their advantage.
So far, Biden has ignored the courts on eviction waivers, and even the vaccine mandate issued by the 5th Circuit.
I really do believe the first order of business in the new House should be a committee to draft impeachment articles.
HOWEVER, we know the Republicans won’t do it. They already given up the fight when they failed to support the challenge to the election fraud.
We live in the same dictatorship we thought only the Russians and Germans experienced.
Same FIB that shot MLK.........................
So the FBI, Who is not working for the NYT, is raiding opposition journalist organizations, and publishing information taken off the oppositions phones? What the hell is going on?I thought only Russia did this crap?
When they refused to repeal ObamaCare, when they finally got control of the House & Senate, it told me everything I already suspected. All those ‘votes’ to repeal it were just for show..............
The people of The South have never trusted the FBI, and for good reason. Now, everybody knows......................
And the FBI raids the only site that did NOT publish any of the diary's contents?
But does raid the only site that is in a lawsuit with the NYT?
And then leaks it almost immediately to said NYT?
So much for the Bill of Rights.
“To me, this is to intimidate his donors.”

And to find out who they are.
If the Judge were even interested in Justice, then he would seek punishment against the FBI.
The FBI saw this as an opportunity to get data on all of Project Veritas’ sources.
Look for firings and/or disappearances to follow.
This might be a good time to remind everyone that 99.9% of the FIB are conservative Americans who hold the constitution is reverence. (h/t to Hannity)
It will PUBLISH EVERYTHING via the NYT......................
The court also ordered that barn doors be closed after all the horses and cows got out.
The FBI should be raiding the houses of the Editors of the NYT to determine how they illegally obtained information seized from PV by the FBI. Like that will ever happen. 🙄
McConnell? McCarthy? Republican senators? Republican congressman? Where the hell are you? Why are you MIA whenever government abuses us?
Absolutely useless. Do Not Vote RINO.
The FBI is now the KGB. Or the SS. Don’t want to hear about how there are lots of good, honest agents still there. Good, honest men don’t work for the KGB.
The FBI is above the law. Re: James Comey. Re: Andrew McCabe. FBI has become an active ally of the Leftist & Deep State power structure. They are above the law. They know they can violate the law with impunity and no DA will indict them and no court will convict them.
It is absolute power, with all of the attendant corruption.
So ironic. The FBI diseminating private confidential info of a citezen accused of obtaing privat confidential information they didn’t publish.
You can’t make this stuff up. Fed Gov is beyond evil. The collapse into totalitarian oppression I’ve been talking about for 20 years, is finally here. It is over, folks. America — stick a fork in her. She is done. My tag line is historically accurate.
Someone offered it to Steve Bannon, too, but he was skeptical as to its authenticity so turned it down. (Turns out that it was authentic.)
