FBI Raids Project Veritas Over Leak From Joe Biden's Daughter's Diary
NewsMax ^ | 11/05/2021 | Luca Cacciatore

The Justice Department on Thursday searched a site in an apartment on East 35th Street in New York, near the Midtown Tunnel, and one in Mamaroneck, Westchester County, New York, associated with the conservative group Project Veritas.

The raid was part of an ongoing investigation into how Ashley Biden, daughter of President Joe Biden, had her diary stolen and made public roughly a week before the 2020 presidential election.

The website where the diary was hosted said that it had obtained the diary from an unnamed whistleblower and that Ashley Biden confirmed that it was hers in an audio recording.

James O'Keefe, the founder of Project Veritas, released a video Friday where he confirmed the report from The New York Times.

"It appears the Southern District of New York now has journalists in their sights for the supposed crime of doing their jobs lawfully and honestly." Referring to federal prosecutors in Manhattan, O'Keefe said, "Our efforts were the stuff of responsible, ethical journalism and we are in no doubt that Project Veritas acted properly at each and every step."

O'Keefe acknowledged that he was aware of the diary but said due to "ethical" concerns regarding its credibility, he decided not to publish it. According to O'Keefe, he tried to return the diary to a lawyer representing Ashley Biden, but she "refused to take it."

"At the end of the day, we made the ethical decision that because, in part, we could not determine if the diary was real, if the diary in fact belonged to Ashley Biden, or if the contents of the diary occurred, we could not publish the diary and any part thereof."

My first thought was, “What evidence did they plant?”

The Federal Bureau of Incrimination And Sedition (FBIAS) is once again proving they are the Gestapo or Stasi for the Democrats.

“The Justice Department on Thursday searched a site in an apartment,” because the Justice Dept. is not focused on the criminal pedophiles in the Biden group, and because the Justice Dept. is focused on protecting a small group in DC.

Mine too.

"The Federal Bureau of Incrimination And Sedition (FBIAS) is once again proving they are the Gestapo or Stasi for the Democrats.

I've been calling them the 'Feral Bureau of Instigation' for quite a while, But with this story I decided to change it to the 'Feral Bureau of Intimidation'.
I guess either/ both are appropriate.

But....but.....99% of them are good, as Sean Hannity repeatedly tells us on his radio show.

Sure they are, Sean, sure.

How far will these people go?

I read a book recently - Ordinary Men, by Christopher Browning.

Its about ordinary, middle-aged German men in Nazi Germany who were conscripted as police, then became prison guards, then became executioners and mass murderers, just following the politics of their times.

Or watch the movie, "Sophie Scholl- The Final Days", with the legal people "just doing their jobs".

A lot of the ordinary FBI cops are good people doing their jobs. The people at management levels are almost uniformly corrupt.

I don’t understand why this story isn’t getting more traction on conservative sites like this (I know why it’s not getting traction on main stream—they are in this together).

By the way an NBC news article has verified the diary was stolen.

What is the FBI jurisdiction for investigating theft? The diary in question was/is not government property.

“According to O’Keefe, he tried to return the diary to a lawyer representing Ashley Biden, but she “refused to take it.”

Last entry in the diary prolly reads something like this:
Dear Diary,
I have decided to work with the FIB and have my diary “stolen”
so’s I can get that meany SOB O’Keefe cause he be telling lies about Big Daddy Joe.

the way these things tend to work is the rank and file will follow orders, and rationalize them as best they can.

but they follow orders.
