As we reported on Friday, FBI agents Raided the homes of journalists who are currently or previously working on the Veritas project, The team led by James O’Keefe broke many big stories and pointed out the corruption and wrongdoing of organizations such as ACORN. Antifa, with Pfizer, with CNN part Help the Democrats discredit their opponents.
The raids were allegedly to investigate the “burglary” incident in the diary of the first daughter, Ashley Biden, even though the lawyers of the Veritas project have cooperated with federal investigators and provided them with evidence of their innocence. information. O’Keeffe fully described what happened in a seven-minute video on Friday.
The page of the diary, the Veritas project has not been published due to the inability to verify its authenticity, and has been published on the National File October 2020According to the National Archives, the diary was left in a room in the rehabilitation facility where Ashley Biden lived in early 2020. The next resident who happened to be working in an unnamed news media ——Found it and bought it to various conservative media organizations. In the diary, the author (we assume she is Ashley) said that she “came here for sexual trauma” and that she “may not be suitable” for her father Take a bath together.
In the video released on Friday, O’Keeffe also stated that he received a subpoena from a grand jury, and a cover letter accompanying the subpoena asked him not to disclose the existence of the subpoena or the investigation to anyone because it might jeopardize the investigation. O’Keeffe remained silent until the New York Times had apparently learned of the raid and investigation, and they would publish a report on it.
Basically it has exposed the FBI and the Justice Department’s dark investigation of reporters and the pre-dawn raid strategy (Jonathan Terry analyzes the problem of the FBI’s operations here), people would think that O’Keeffe had inoculated himself with a similar prank, at least for now. (Well, RedState readers don’t think so, because they are smarter than the average bear.)
Do not. As you know from the headlines, O’Keeffe’s home was also raided, according to – shockingly – New York Times:
According to witnesses and people with knowledge of the situation, federal authorities searched the home of James O’Keefe, the founder of the conservative organization Project Veritas, on Saturday.
Jimmy Meines, who lives next to Mr. Riokieff in an apartment building in Mamaroneck, said some FBI agents arrived on Saturday morning.
“They’re looking for James,” Entertainment Manager Mayne said. “I thought they were knocking on my door. I already opened the door.”
“They told me to close the door, and I closed the door,” he added. “This is exactly what happened. It’s still dark.”
Mr. Mains… said that the FBI agent spent a few hours in the apartment.
The rest of the New York Times article contains a copy that was originally printed in the organization’s popular Friday article, and falsely claimed that O’Keeffe “admitted that the organization is under investigation by the Department of Justice because the diary was reported to have been stolen from Biden. The President’s daughter Ashley Biden” in Friday’s video. O’Keefe stated that the Southern District of New York is investigating the suspected theft of the diary, but has not investigated the Veritas project. However, given the complexity of the entire article in The New York Times, it is understandable that reporters would not make this distinction.
Although the Justice Department has been using weapons against political opponents for some time, this week’s move is eerily reminiscent of Kamala Harris. Weaponization of the California Department of Justice Oppose those engaged in journalism, such as David Daleden of the Center for Medical Advancement.
