We can only look how the FBI reacted in the past when journalists received material through questionable channels.
Yesterday, reports appeared in the The New York Times and elsewhere that the FBI searched the home of James O’Keefe, the founder of Project Veritas, on Saturday as part of its investigation into the possible theft of a diary belonging to Ashley Biden, President Biden’s daughter.
Mr. O’Keefe released a statement acknowledging that the raid had indeed occurred and that the FBI had taken materials of current and former Project Veritas journalists despite the fact that Project Veritas’s legal team previously contacted the Department of Justice and had voluntarily conveyed unassailable facts that demonstrated Project Veritas’ lack of involvement in criminal activity and/or criminal intent.
O’Keefe also states that the Department of Justice had requested Project Veritas to not disclose anything related to the raid or the associated subpoenas. However, what astounded them is that within an hour of one of the raids, The New York Times contacted the Project Veritas for comments. O’Keefe was understandably perplexed as to how The New York Times became aware of the existence and execution of a search warrant.
O’Keefe also states that he was approached by tipsters claiming they had a copy of Ashley Biden’s diary. Project Veritas states that they investigated the claims and took steps to corroborate the authenticity of the diary. Since they couldn’t determine the authenticity of the diary, they decided to refrain from publishing any of its contents.

The FIB trying to cover up other Biden “Cobra, Cobra, Cobra” moments.
The article cites the media release of President Trump’s tx returns, which were clearly obtained through unlawful means, to demonstrate the FBI’s bias. You will never see the NYT or CNN raided.
Well, we have officially become a fascist state.
Oh, and Joe, you are creepier than even I thought.
No words.

Lavrentiy Beria, the most ruthless and longest-serving secret police chief in Joseph Stalin’s reign of terror in Russia and Eastern Europe, bragged that he could prove criminal conduct on anyone, even the innocent.
“Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime” was Beria’s infamous boast. He served as deputy premier from 1941 until Stalin’s death in 1953, supervising the expansion of the gulags and other secret detention facilities for political prisoners.

NYTimes is state media.
"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power."
— Benito Mussolini
Note the contrast between the tens of thousands of dollars spent on these overreaching raids for minor supposed offenses with the claim by the same federal government that it did not “have the funds” to monitor convicted felon Jeffrey Epstein in his cell after he had once tried “suicide”, despite the fact that he had “entertained” many prominent types with underage girls. Didn’t have the few pennies for that, they needed it for helicopters, travel costs, and massive numbers of highly paid personnel so they can stage these public raids.
So what to do? Just keep voting?

Good question? What do we do now? This is all getting worse and worse. It needs to stop.
It is interesting that Project Veritas did not report on the COPY of the diary that was leaked to them because they could not confirm it was authentic.
Yes, now it has been corroborated. Here’s a link to the diary excerpts published Oct 28th, 2020:
The law is no longer to protect rights, it is now a weapon to destroy political enemies.
When someone calls the FBI from the White House the dogs are loosed.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
And ... while it did little to comfort his (& Stalin) victims, Beria came to his own unhappy end with the death of Stalin [March 1953]. After forming a leadership troika to lead the country, Beria was cautiously but easily overthrown by Nikita Khrushchev & the Soviet Army leadership by July of that same year. His swift kangaroo trial on 23 December was quickly followed by a bullet to the forehead and cremation into a communal grave.
The kindest thing that can be said about the FBI is that’s it’s incompetent. But the truth is is that it’s politicized and corrupt. It has become The KGB. It’s purpose is to serve the party by crushing political opposition.
Yes,according to many on FR.
Me, no.
