The Department of Justice (DOJ) is seeking prison time for Aimee Harris, the woman who stole the diary of the president’s daughter, Ashley Biden, and sold it to conservative media site Project Veritas for tens of thousands of dollars before the 2020 presidential election.
According to the DOJ, Harris was temporarily staying at the Delray Beach, Fla., residence of Ashley Biden in September 2020 when she stole the diary “containing highly personal entries” as well as tax records, a cellphone and family photographs. Harris enlisted defandant Robert Kurlander to assist her in selling the collected material.
Project Veritas, based in New York, paid Harris and Kurlander $20,000 each for the diary and other materials the pair returned to Florida to obtain. Project Veritas is a controversial media outlet known for sting operations, sending its staffers undercover to record sources and capture what they say is the true story behind the headlines.
In November, the DOJ raided two locations tied to Project Veritas and the organization’s founder, James O’Keefe.
Project Veritas never published the diary, but a different website did. O’Keefe, who said he received the diary from tipsters who found it abandoned in a hotel room, said he did not publish it because he could not verify its authenticity.
In a Tuesday letter to Judge Laura Swain, federal prosecutors requested that the court impose a sentence of four months to 10 months of imprisonment for Harris, followed by three years of supervised release. Prosecutors had previously asked for six months of home confinement, followed by three years of supervised release.

would be a just amount of time,
Well, it WAS a diary, so we've got that going for us.
None for Ashli Babbitt
GMTA!
Aimee Harris could be a good VP candidate. Would keep the spotlight on pedophilia.
Ok, let me read it.
It wasn’t stolen. When Ashley Biden lived at a residence, she just left, and when she did, she abandoned a bunch of items of which the diary was one of them. The next people who stayed there found the diary and turned it over to James Keefe for money.
The fact that they pleaded guilty to the charges should surprise absolutely nobody, as this is the DOJ’s modus operandi.
The government has bottomless pockets, infinite time, and Leftists aplenty to pull the levers. They were probably threatening them with 20 years in jail, but convinced their lawyer that if they pled guilty to some lesser charge (trafficking stolen property across state lines, conveniently a federal offense) then they would get at the most five years, possibly some sugar thrown in to make it even less if they took the plea.
The Internet searches are also being shaped and scrubbed. If you do a search for Ashley Biden Diary, you will find only MSM articles hostile to the defendants for the first several pages of the returns.
And that is with Duck Duck Go, Google is no doubt even worse.
Very Freudian.
“I wonder what happened to Hunter to make him so messed up.”
Pervs are gonna perv. Doubtful that he limited himself to just little girls. Remember that photo of him holding that baby boy, cupping the genitals in his hand? Disgusting.
Not stolen. Abandoned. I’ve watched enough true crime to know that when someone abandons or discards stuff it becomes fair game.
Stealing Ashley Biden’s diary is a Federal crime?
“... for cases of abuse, therapists are ethically, maybe legally obligated to report abuse claims, breaking confidentiality, to social services for investigation. This is to protect future potential victims, and to identify past victims, even if the perp is dead. JILL ... needs to be confronted.”
Jill is an educator. She is legally obligated to report abuse. She had to know what was going on under her roof for at least a decade. If she didn’t report it — and we know she didn’t — then she’s complicit.
The chick turned in the property. Didn’t keep it. It was offered to the FBI; they didn’t want it.
“conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property”
It wasn’t “stolen”.
“A Conservative pac should make ads about pedojoe showering with his daughter.”
Billboards.
Indeed!
"Show me the man and I will find the crime."
So does that mean the Diary was authentic? So shouldn’t Joe be arrested for sexual crime?

No weaponization of the DOJ. None. Nadda. Zilch.
Got it.
