Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe released video footage from last November, showing armed FBI agents raiding and ransacking an employee’s home. The Feds raided two of O’Keefe’s employees’ homes on November 4, on the orders of federal prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. They raided O’Keefe’s apartment in Mamaroneck, N.Y., a couple of days later in connection with Ashley Biden’s allegedly stolen diary.
O’Keefe contends that he and his journalists were targeted because of their investigative journalism.
The footage begins with the FBI banging loudly on the door, and with the startled journalist responding shakily, “I’m sorry, what is this regarding?”
“This is a search warrant, just open up!” the agent barked. After the journalist opened the door, the agent hollered: “Let me see your hands, let me see your hands!”
As the Feds filed into the home, the lead agent told the journalist that another agent would have to sit with him while the team searched his home “for our safety and for yours.” He said the journalist did not have to speak to the agent, and that he wasn’t being detained.
“We just want to see you calm, and then … are you okay with that?” the agent said. He told the journalist that another team of FBI agents was on the way.
O’Keefe said this invasion of his employee’s constitutional rights should “send shivers down the spines of every journalist around the country.”
“What you’ve just seen is an effort by the government to intimidate and silence us as journalists,” O’Keefe declared. “But Project Veritas will never be silenced. The 1st Amendment protects journalists and all people who speak out. We will stand firm to vindicate our own 1st Amendment rights, fight for the rights of our fellow journalists,

Reminds me of a scene from Sons of Anarchy where the corrupt FBI agent tosses a gun at Gemma knowing she’ll instinctively catch it; thereby putting her fingerprints on it so the corrupt FBI agent can frame her.
Beginning in 1933, the Nazis took control of and subsequently transformed the police forces of the Weimar Republic into instruments of state repression and, eventually, of genocide. They did so by Nazifying policing. The new government removed anti-Nazi police leaders, reorganized Germany’s police forces, and reoriented police culture towards Nazism.

This nation needs about 10,000 more organizations like Project Veritas.
Where’s the GOP outrage? They are AWOL as usual.

We need the names of every FBI agent involved in this criminal activity. We need to make them know that people will find out where they leave and where their kids and SOs live. The FBI can’t live in its bubble anymore.
I hope the FBI knows that they will eventually receive return fire and some of these raids will be ambushes.
Hi.
Who really is the FBI (and others in the alphabet agencies), representing?
I contend not the people of the United States, but powerful people like Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and others in the federal government.
They make their authority felt, and their power and money grows.

Journalist should’ve hollered through the closed door for them to show the warrant, and not opened till he saw it.
The only true thing about the FBI today is to be found in a slight rearrangement of its three-letter name....which is one big thing what they are !

The FBI has a vested interest in protecting and promoting big government because the FBI is one of its greatest beneficiaries.
I am honestly surprised he was not arrested and Epsteined during that raid. I sincerely hope he has trusted security.
I hope you are feeling well.
No, not fibs, outright perjury.

Obama/Biden had eight years to corrupt the FBI by
by screening out those that didn't have proper the political
attitudes and beliefs when they applied to work for the FBI.
And you can be sure the FBI was told to recruit
personnel from only left wing colleges and other of
those sorts of institutions.
Same thing went on during the Clinton Regime
under Clinton's lesbian FBI Director Janet Reno.
Her beliefs and attitudes permeated her direction of
that agency and it's hiring decisions.
The George W. Bush administration apparently did not do much to
correct anything at the FBI. When Hillary Clinton could
get her hands on 900+ FBI files and not suffer
any consequences; well one can only conclude
that the FBI has become nothing but a
Democrat Party playground.
Just my opinion of how it all looks.
