O’Keefe says that the organization actually received a tip that the diary was abandoned in a room, an allegation that harkened back to the abandoned laptop of Hunter Biden. However, Ashley reportedly insisted it was stolen.

The use of the FBI is also reminiscent of the still unexplained use of the FBI when Joe Biden was Vice President to search for a gun discarded by Hunter Biden behind a restaurant.

Project Veritas decided not to run the story because it could not verify that the diary belonged to Biden. (The FBI may have just offered that confirmation). Instead, it alerted the police, according to O’Keefe: “Project Veritas gave the diary to law enforcement to ensure it could be returned to its rightful owner. We never published it.”

So why the raids? Since when does the FBI conducted raids over missing diaries?

The FBI can cite the interstate elements of the alleged theft as raising a federal crime. However, what is the crime? It is not clear if they are suggesting that the responsible parties were seeking to sell the diary or that there was some national security element (which would be bizarre since Biden’s daughter was writing before her father ever became president).

Journalist organizations are routinely given material removed from businesses, agencies, or private owners without permission by confidential sources. If this is a federal crime subject to FBI raids, what happened to the new media policies of the Biden Administration after the Tucker Carlson controversy?

It’s a nazi thug cover up. They knew Veritas gave the actual diary to law enforcement, so they were looking for copies to suppress publication.

It was a wildly inappropriate raid.

VERITAS MADE SURE THE FBI GOT THE DIARY WEEKS AGO.

This is not about the diary at all.

The FBI is tryiing to silence Project Veritas.

Another example of American agencies treating the White House Family as though they were The Royal Family.
They ARE NOT ROYAL. They are nothing more than other people who (pressumedly) wipe their bums twice a day like anyone else. They are not ‘Golden’ in any way. Especially not the amoral, dysfunctional Bidens.

It took generations for America to let go of the Camelot Myth of perfection. Most of us who were around in the 60’s and 70’s have finally done so.

Stolen or not, why is a diary of any concern to the FBI? If I called up my local FBI office and told them that MY diary, or MY computer, was stolen they’d say it was none of their business and to call local police. And the local police, if they showed up at all, would file a report and that would be the end of it. So why is the FBI getting involved in THIS?

Would FBI thugs raid Sulzberger’s home?

Or would the butt boys of white liberal ‘elites’ tell them they can’t do that... because the New York Times has ‘the right’ political positions?

Bet on it.

The diary is already public but few in the public know about it. The media suppressed this story. This FBI raid (illegal) gives the diary legitimacy. It will now become more aware in the public’s knowledge base. This does not help Slow Joe Biden.

Perhaps the movers in the deep state are greasing the skids on Joe’s exit? He is a disaster for the left.

ps
Just imagine what the media would have done with this story if the diary was written by Trumps daughter!

This is VERY obvious to me. Notice that it happened around the same time that it was announced that the diary had been determined/announced to be legit. So, once it was determined to be legit, they could NOT have it being released.

Send a message to your Senators or House reps if they are conservative .
This really frightening.
And I would no different if it was a liberal organization that was targeted.

Just like the DOJ aka DOI (Department of Injustice) and the FBI worrying more about parents standing up to corrupt school boards than about untold number of potential terrorists streaming across the Southern Border. When, not if, they strike it will be too bad if they target government offices this time.

They just want to minimize any extra blackmail that may be in the diary. Like there more needed. However,There could be others that are mentioned . Did any of this happen when the Secret Service was guarding him as VP? Is the government complicit in any illegal actions with Joe other than the SES and appointed leadership? Hunter is a crappy witness to the business dealings but could her diary corroborate the dark-side of the family business with a credible observer? Or was this just a fishing trip by political elites who hate project veritas and to discover who else is ratting them out?

Why the heck are they even bothering? The diary was posted online for all to see a.ready, so they aren’t going to be able to cover this up. Veritas turned the diary In to the police already.

Personally, I would like someone to investigate who was the judge who signed off on the search warrant(s) and what was the information presented to the judge.

Like the whole Russia Collusion thing, we have learned that the FBI likes to play fast and loose with facts when doing political hit jobs on enemies of the Democratic Party.

I would bet that there is probably an email trail that could show a lot of corruption on the part of the FBI in seeking the warrant for the diary searches.

That could expose FBI officials to criminal charges and/or as in the Russian Collusion scandal at least cause the FBI careers of several to end. Ultimately, the fear of violating the law and being held accountable needs to be instilled upon the FBI when they start thinking about doing political reprisals on an enemies list.

We need to flood the FBI with calls asking for assistance in locating missing diaries, old photos, etc.

Damned nazi idiots.

The diary is the excuse to do what the FBI has wanted to do for years. Federal raids because of a diary are unprecedented. Such cases before were handled by local law enforcement if anything illegal was perceived. There was nothing illegal. Veritas offered the diary to the FBI already and was turned down.
