Apple and Google have come forward to disclose that between November 2020 and March 2021, the Department of Justice issued nine secret subpoenas and warrants to them for the private information of Project Veritas journalists.
In addition to using Apple and Google to surveil the data of Project Veritas’ journalists, the DOJ also spied on journalists’ security detail, accessing private information about them, as well.
Documents show the Department of Justice compelled Apple and Google not to disclose that they were providing the individual’s private data to the government.
In the case of Google, the DOJ accessed individuals’ payment information, MAC address and browsing history, in addition to other personal information.
Project Veritas’ attorneys filed a motion outlining how the DOJ’s seizures violated the Privacy Protection Act and the Fourth Amendment, in addition to the First Amendment and Common Law Reporter’s Privilege.
I think it was James O’Keefe, the head of PV who stated that the raid on his home was intended to provide cover for the information that Google and Apple provided. The FIB couldn’t go to the courts and admit something that they were prohibited from doing by a judge.
That's Bill Barr's DOJ.
Something to keep in mind if MAGA wins in November and in 2024.
Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?
Any Republican who would defend the fascist DOJ should be hounded out of office.
