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.
Nope, FBI was there before the event happened. And they used their electronic vacuum cleaner to trace all cell conversations and locations. They did mass arrest and never were never successful in doing anything but destroy the lives of over 100 innocent people. The gulty were dead.
The liability lawsuits against the State have yet to have the first hearing. A number of the victims (attendees) are dead of natural causes now.
Waco has had this type of problem for 100 years. But the FBI made and their analytic tools made it much worse.
They had already identified what they thought were domestic terrorists (some Bandito’s clearly are criminal). Those techies promoting this mas arrest crap have done a lot of damage many times.
Like what happened on January 6th. Our legal system is being destroyed by miss applied high tech monitoring. It is clearly unconstitutional, but it is being repeated again and again with much collateral damage.

Stored on a blockchain using Storj, siacoin, filecoin or others, the files are encrypted, broken apart and stored all over the world. No one is touching them. Anyone who is a target has to do this otherwise someone ultimately will get their mitts on the data.
This is nuts. The FBI is LEAKING O’Keefe’s privileged info to the NYT.
J.E. Hoover remembers the good old days.
the point of the raid was to hurt PV
Others have been saying this for years, as well. And (maybe ironically), while it's true, the Americans (real ones, I mean) are still here. But if it weren't for the sacred 2nd Amendment, we'd be gone with the wind, too.
A real free press would be asking who ordered this raid on journalists over a diary. Sean you still believe only 1% of the FBI is bad? They should know this is a totally invalid use but they made the raid anyway.
FBI(corrupted by Democrats) = America’s KGB = Domestic Terrorists
Texas Fossil is correct that the FBI was at least peripherally involved in the Twin Peaks debacle and it’s quite probable that the FBI found out about the meeting at Twin Peaks and fed that information to the local police.
Not sure what you're smoking, but the only evidence of FBI involvement in the Twin Peaks biker shootings I've seen was a post hoc claim that Waco DA Abel Reyna was subject of an FBI investigation for corruption.
Twin Peaks biker's attorney says email proves DA Reyna under federal investigation
The civil lawsuits that followed the dismissal of charges against the bikers also failed to mention any Federal involvement or conspiracy.
Nonsense...the FBI had nothing to do with Twin Peaks and the communications between the Waco DA and US Attorney make that quite clear.
Believe what you will.
Same “fbi” that psy-op’d the guy who found Vincent Foster’s body and covered up the whole affair.
May not be in that lawsuit, but they were heavily involved in this. Period.
Correct.
Yes, I did. At that point it was not clear what federal involvement existed.
There was lots of talk about infiltration gone bad. Lots of really shady folks implicated.
Then there was the testimony of Carol Howe. Who was probably silenced.
I had a good HAM friends who worked in IT for CR Anthony in OKC at the time of the blast. He had employees that were injured.
It really shook him up.
They were close to the blast, but a low building between their office and the Alfred P. Murrah Building prevented the worst of the blast reaching their facility.
He retired later in South Texas. Have not heard from him in years.
Not to mention Ray Epps and fellow agents provocateurs who created such mayhem they shot Ashli, and arrested hundreds of citizens now being brutally treated as political prisoners, with no regard whatsoever to Constitutional requirements against Habeus Corpus. Those poor people. Pray for the Brandon Junta’s political prisoners. 🙏
Disband the FIB. Spread the few good agents to the Marshals and SS, fire the rest. Zero them out.
From your mouth to God’s ear. (He already knows)
