I have read her stuff in the Times. This sounds like a good move for her.

Investigative journalist Kerry Picket has joined Breitbart News.
Picket formerly edited and wrote for the Washington Times opinion section and its "Water Cooler" blog. She also covered Capitol Hill and campaign and elections for the publication.
Picket has regularly appeared as a guest commentator on dozens of cable news networks like Fox News, CNN, Fox Business Network, and the Christian Broadcast Network. She has also appeared in prime time specials on Fox News’s “Hannity” dealing with issues such as crony capitalism and corruption in Washington, D.C.
“I’m looking forward to continuing what Andrew Breitbart started--delivering honest news, real news, without a liberal filter,” Picket told Breitbart News.
Breitbart News CEO and President Larry Solov said "We are so glad to welcome Kerry aboard at Breitbart News. Her smart, tenacious and thorough reporting is a great fit for us. Investigative reporting is a cornerstone of what we are doing and Kerry represents a major addition to the team."
Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon heralded Picket's toughness and intrepid nature.
"Kerry Picket is exactly the type of indefatigable reporter we are building our news coverage around: tough, relentless, intrepid," Bannon said.
During the Obamacare protests in 2010, Picket debunked allegations made by prominent members of the Congressional Black Caucus -- Reps. Andre Carson, Emanuel Cleaver, James Clyburn, and John Lewis -- that Tea Party protestors shouted the N-word at Rep. Lewis. Picket interviewed people who were at the Capitol Hill protests and went to police stations across Washington, D.C. to ask if police officers had heard of such an incident. She discovered there had been no complaints about protestors yelling the N-word, contrary to what mainstream media outlets were reporting at the time.

Good to hear!
Kerry’s a terrific journalist. I’ll miss her “Water Cooler” column in The Times, but a great addition for Breitbart.
