RedState recently reported that Project Veritas had been placed in the FBI’s crosshairs. That began with a raid on the homes of several of its journalists under the guise of looking for Ashley Biden’s diary. According to federal authorities, the diary was stolen. They will be next investigating bicycle thefts.
The New York Times was notified of raids within hours. This was in addition to the fact that they were happening. While O’Keefe was asked by the FBI to keep quiet, the Times knew within hours, pointing to a leaker within the bureau.
Although the Department of Justice had asked that we not reveal the subpoena’s existence, it was something rather unusual. Within an hour of one of our reporters’ homes being secretly raided by the FBI, The New York Times, who we are currently suing for defamation, contacted the Project Veritas reporter for comment. We do not know how The New York Times was aware of the execution of a search warrant at our reporter’s home, or the subject matter of the search warrant, as a Grand Jury investigation is secret.
Days later, O’Keefe would have his home raided as well, and sure enough, the Times once again knew it about it before anyone else. Do you see a pattern here? Because it’s about to become as obvious as a neon sign.
Two days ago, a court ordered the FBI to stop extracting data from O’Keefe’s phones, which had apparently been seized. Again, all of this is being done under the allegation that…a diary was stolen. Things escalated to the point of scandal last night. The Times published privileged communications between Project Veritas lawyers and Project Veritas. Those messages apparently came from one of O’Keefe’s phones.
Project Veritas was raided and seized by the FBI. Now, their secret communications have been leaked to the New York Times

I didn’t even think about the fact that PV is currently in litigation with the New York Times
Makes it all the more appalling that the NYT would be publishing Veritas’ privileged communications

That’s right. Project Veritas had recently sued The New York Times over an unrelated matter, and now the Times has Project Veritas’ privileged communications that reveal their legal strategies. Given the circumstances, there could only be one logical source for that information — the FBI.
– Project Veritas sues the NYT.
– The FBI raids O’Keefe’s home.
– NYT knows about raid immediately.
– FBI steals O’Keefe’s reporter notes.
– NYT publishes what his notes were.This is insane. The FBI is LEAKING O’Keefe’s privileged info to the NYT.
Helloooo deep state.

It is scandalous but nothing new when it comes to dealings with the FBI. A major newspaper appears to have colluded with federal authorities in order to attack an investigative journalism outlet. Of course, there are still more dots to connect, but if there’s some other explanation, I’m not seeing it. This pretense about the raid was just absurd (or is it a journal?).The Times was leaking information from the bureau at every turn to Project Veritas, and this is why the Times continues to leak.
If this isn’t a coordinated political hit job on a journalistic organization, then what is it? So many lines have now been crossed that it’s hard to keep up with them all. What can Project Veritas do to stop this? This leakage has been discovered by Project Veritas and isn’t being investigated by the Biden-run DOJ. The Times has now obtained these confidential communications, even though Project Veritas is suing them. This is absurd!
Let this serve as another example of why the FBI doesn’t need to just be reprimanded, but that it needs to be disbanded. Because of its politicized activities, the organization can’t be trusted with American citizens’ rights.
