There is a curious story out this weekend on reported FBI raids of writers or associates of Project Veritas, the conservative investigative journalism outfit. Project Veritas has been described variously as “Gonzo” or “guerilla” journalism and some insist it is more of a political than a press organization. However, it fits the definition of journalism, in my view, and that makes the raids troubling. All the more troubling is the cause: the missing diary of President Biden’s daughter Ashley. [Update: The FBI reportedly also raided O’Keefe’s home]
The New York Times reported that the FBI searched two locations in New York in search of the “stolen” diary that went missing days before the 2020 presidential election. Project founder James O’Keefe questioned how the Times received the story within an hour of the first raid.
O’Keefe says that the organization actually received a tip that the diary was abandoned in a room, an allegation that harkened back to the abandoned laptop of Hunter Biden. However, Ashley reportedly insisted it was stolen.
The use of the FBI is also reminiscent of the still unexplained use of the FBI when Joe Biden was Vice President to search for a gun owned by Hunter Biden that was discarded behind a restaurant.
Project Veritas decided not to run the story because it could not verify that the diary belonged to Biden. (The FBI may have just offered that confirmation). Instead, it alerted the police, according to O’Keefe: “Project Veritas gave the diary to law enforcement to ensure it could be returned to its rightful owner. We never published it.”
So why the raids? Since when does the FBI conducted raids over missing diaries?
The FBI can cite the interstate elements of the alleged theft as raising a federal crime. However, what is the crime? It is not clear if they are suggesting that the responsible parties were seeking to sell the diary or that there was some national security element (which would be bizarre since Biden’s daughter was writing before her father ever became president).
Journalist organizations are routinely given material removed from businesses, agencies, or private owners without permission by confidential sources. If this is a federal crime subject to FBI raids, what happened to the new media policies of the Biden Administration after the Tucker Carlson controversy?
There are a host of unanswered questions. Here are five to start with:
- What was the context for the diary’s loss? (Did Ashley Biden leave the diary in a room or was it stolen?)
- What is the alleged federal crime (and what is the precedent for a major federal investigation over such an alleged theft)?
- What precautions were taken by the Biden Administration in light of the claimed media status of the targeted individuals?
- Why was there a delay in this action being taken if the alleged theft occurred a year ago?
- Has this matter been under investigation for a year and did the White House request the intervention of the FBI?
Regardless of how one feels about Project Veritas, there should be calls from media outlets for some answers to these basic questions. Likewise, Congress should be seeking such answers as part of its oversight responsibilities.
Professor Turley Writes:
“Instead, it alerted the police, according to O’Keefe: “Project Veritas gave the diary to law enforcement to ensure it could be returned to its rightful owner. We never published it.”
……………………………………………………………….
Perhaps the diary ‘was’ given to police. But here we have no details. ‘Who’, exactly, gave the diary to police? And ‘which’ police force was it given to?
If these facts are true then there is no criminal case. But it seems odd the FBI was not aware of these facts. Something doesn’t add up here.
More curious to me is the fact that National File somehow obtained the diary and published 112 pages online. What’s up with that?
“But it seems odd the FBI was not aware of these facts. Something doesn’t add up here.”
The FBI is aware of what it wants to be aware of. That you are suddenly waking up to this doesn’t speak very well for you.
Why does the FBI ignore child rape from the Bidens? Who is gonna arrest rhe pedophiles
REGARDING ABOVE:
Here our in-house, dirty trickster seeks to insert the dirtiest of smears as though it’s a given fact.
The dirty trickster on the blog is well known. Some refer to him as ATS. That is the only way I can identify him.
However, the Bidens are far more dirty.
“However, the Bidens are far more dirty.”
Yeah, more like unspeakably filthy. Obviously so.
They even have photos n videos…
Oh please. You know exactly what this is and can’t or won’t say it for various reasons. But I can, it is the Obama/Clinton/Biden Gestapo at work again. Once they got their meat puppet in the White House these deep state creeps in DOJ, State and other agencies in our government got their marching orders.
Keep up the good works. Justice is coming to them all. Keep exposing them.
They need to question Bill Barr since he started the investigation.
The FBI had Hunters lap top for over a year too. What have they done about the underaged girls that he was having sex with in it?? NOTHING. WHY no raids at Hunters house??
America is a Society of Laws. How often is it in America that the law is ignored and subverted? Abuse of power, usurpation of power and corruption are serious crimes. Are Merrick Garland and the FBI the Gestapo? Only in their twisted communist (liberal, progressive, socialist, democrat, RINO) minds.
Merrick Garland and the FBI are directed and restricted by the Constitution. The “statement” by Ashley Biden that the diary was stolen is self-serving and suspect. There is no proof that a crime occurred. The Constitution provides a right to privacy which may only be violated by the production of probable cause. No probable cause is possible herein because it is not a crime to inadvertently abandon and leave your personal moveable property in a location.
The FBI was deployed against Project Veritas illegally, politically and as harassment and for the personal benefit of President Biden. President Biden, Merrick Garland and Christopher Ray must be impeached and convicted for denial of constitutional rights, abuse of power, usurpation of power, dereliction, subversion of the Constitution, etc. Members of the Congress who refuse to support the Constitution and vote impeachment are complicit in criminal acts with President Biden, Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray and must similarly be impeached.
How often is it in America that the law is ignored and subverted? The impeachment process must be strengthened, streamlined and accelerated to accommodate the burgeoning demand.

“Six ways to Sunday”. The MSM knows that the Intel Community now operates with impunity lilke Stassi and this lawlessness trickles down to other law enforcement agencies at the same time the public’s interest in law enforcement reform is a rising issue. Unreformed local departments will take this lawlessness to heart and seek alliances for funding from Federal funding agencies, even it it means turning on the locals that elected them. Happening in towns near you, right now.
We need more groups like Project Veritas. It is strange that the FBI came after them. It is time for the the FBI to be clean up and cleaned out. It has become a disgrace and our current FBI has become polluted and corrupt. I would believe Project Veritas any time before I would believe anyone in the White House or associated with them. I think the FBI needs to be sued for abusing their position and they need to be taken down many notches.
It is strange that the FBI came after them.
The FBI pursued as an enemy of the state, a duly elected US President, aided by DOJ, CIA, US House Dems, top brass in the military and the elite media. They did so for 4+ years and nothing happened to any of them. Lesson here: they can do it to anyone, anytime, anywhere. Fascists are like that
While the Danchenko indictment brings new embarrassment to Steele’s media and political dupes, it offers new evidence of negligent and potentially even criminal behavior on the part of the FBI.
The FBI conducted a series of interviews with Danchenko starting in January 2017. Even after he informed them that the Steele dossier was based on alcohol-fueled hearsay, the FBI continued to cite it in surveillance warrants on Carter Page. Anonymous intelligence officials even proceeded to feed the media with the lie that Steele’s dossier was being corroborated.
In February 2017 — just weeks after the FBI’s first interview with Danchenko — CNN reported, based on intelligence sources, that “US investigators corroborate some aspects of the Russia dossier.” The FBI is “continuing to chase down stuff from the dossier, and, at its core, a lot of it is bearing out,” an unidentified intelligence official told The New Yorker later that month.
We now know that Steele’s main source had told the FBI the precise opposite. And we also learn from Durham’s indictment that the FBI appears to have been aware, at least in June 2017 if not earlier, that Danchenko was lying to them when he denied speaking to Dolan about anything that later showed up in the dossier.
Yet instead of indicting Danchenko for false statements, the FBI let him walk, all while pursuing its investigation of the Trump campaign based on the innuendo that Danchenko and Steele had fueled.
The new Durham indictment accordingly raises fresh questions about the FBI’s handling of the Russia investigation.

Did FBI not investigate the law enforcement officer that diary was turned into? Probably not, so who has it now? Strange crap going on in our government agencies? Since owner reported it missing or when found said it was stolen, reminds me of her brother and his computers being left. I think both of bidens children were trying to get the story out about the trauma and abuse these grew up with from ‘dad’ and Dr Jill. There was a story going around that Amy Comey Barret is really bidens daughter who ‘died’ in the car crash with her mother. Imagine that, wow. Thank you Jonathan Turley who always remains on the side of the law!
The possibility that there MIGHT be some interstate element to this does NOT inherently make it an FBI matter.
The FBI does not enforce the collection of state sales taxes on interstate purchases.
There must be a specific federal crime being violated to make this an FBI issue.
What is that ?
John B. Say, no crime must have occurred in order for the FBI to investigate. The FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION. The name says it all. They are charged with investigation primarily. They have very broad investigative authority. They are also tasked with counter-intelligence. The dairy of the president’s daughter being stolen or in the hands of anyone not authorized poses a national security risk. While project veritas was in possession of the diary and they rightfully gave it back to authorities it could have easily been passed on to others posing a blackmail risk. Foreign agents or even domestic groups could have used it to threaten or coerce Biden’s daughter to do something. This is exactly what the FBI is supposed to do.
Turley seems to leave out the possibility that the diary’s contents could be used for blackmail, especially someone as the president’s daughter. Turley focuses on a specific crime, but the FBI is also charged with preventing such scenarios like possible blackmail being used against the President.
” it could have easily been passed on to others posing a blackmail risk.”
This sounds like the risk of almost all the affairs of Hunter Biden including affairs where money entered the Biden Crime Family vaults. How about Hunter’s most recent artistic endeavors? Suddenly you are wondering, trying to think but failing at that task.
Anonymous,
Hunter Biden’s laptop issues were not deemed legitimate given the nature of hoe the laptop came about to the store owner. It could have been stolen or not.
Hunter Biden’s actions often overdramatized by right wing media or exaggerated as “serious” risks despite his history of problems is not taken as seriously as his daughter who doesn’t have a history of risky behavior or poor judgment. That makes her diary’s contents more credible and therefore more susceptible to being used for blackmail.
Hunter’s artistic endeavors are not blackmail worthy given the fact that they are well publicized.
The diary is more of a serious problem because we don’t know how extensive it is or how far back it goes. In addition no government agencies know what’s in it and the possibility that it may contain sensitive information regarding the family or the president it correctly constitutes a national security issue.
Ha, really? The only risk here is to the Biden cartel
“Hunter Biden’s laptop issues were not deemed legitimate” LOL
“Hunter Biden’s actions often overdramatized by right wing media or exaggerated “ LOL
“Hunter’s artistic endeavors are not blackmail” It’s Payola something you are ignorant of.
One has a choice of laughing at you or crying. I’m sure mom is crying but a lot of reasonable people are laughing.
During any Federal Investigation by the FBI or any other federal investigative agency….discovery of evidence of non-federal crimes are routinely relayed to the appropriate State Law Enforcement Agency having jurisdiction.
Did we not see Paul Manafort, Cohen, Avernatti and others find themselves facing non-federal investigations in that manner?
So….why not Hunter Biden, Jim Biden, or even Joe Biden?
There is an investigation into Hunter Biden….that is being slow walked till Daddy Joe is long gone from Office….and no State Investigative referrals have been made re Hunter.
Why is that if the FBI is sacrosanct, ethical, and pure as the wind driven snow upon the Convent Roof?
The FBI had search warrants. That requires probable cause that a specifically identified crime was committed. What was the crime?
The FBI is not “legitimately” raiding PV’s offices or anywhere looking merely for a diary, unless that diary is connected to a federal crime or the contents put our national security at risk. And those defending this use of the FBI aren’t doing so for legal reasons. This is once again weaponizing the FBI for political purposes.
Olly, the fact that it is a dairy of the president’s daughter it poses a risk of blackmail. The contents of the diary could be sensitive enough to assume that certain passages could be used to blackmail either the president or his family. The FBI, given the nature of what could be on that diary, has every reason to be involved. Damaging information involving health, discussions, or anything that may be useful for foreign or domestic terrorists to use would classified as a national security issue. Of course the FBI will not disclose the nature of the importance of the diary BEFORE it is secured.
The contents of the diary is hearsay, unless his daughter will testify under oath it is true, with additional evidence. Did the FBI interview the daughter regarding the the contents and use that to justify a federal raid, instead of local? The strongest justification for involving the FBI is also the worst-case scenario for Joe and perhaps his family. They are treating the contents of the diary as a true account of something and they would be searching for any traces of those contents.
The contents of the diary is hearsay,
The diary has been available online since last year at archive dot org, as well as elsewhere online. The FBI may have confirmed its veracity….
https://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Ashley+Biden%22
The FBI may have confirmed its veracity….
That would explain the cleanup on aisle 9 FBI raid.
Then again, maybe Ashley Biden leaked her own diary because misery is validated and victimhood applauded. Maybe she was so conflicted about structural racism and her being diddled by Daddy as a white privileged kid, that these drove her to suicidal ideations, and leaking the diary was a cry for help. And lo! The AAP thinks racial justice is driving children to worse mental health outcomes. Ashley has repressed memories from seeing Daddy’s white chorizo
😉
A declaration from the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Children’s Hospital Association:
As health professionals dedicated to the care of children and adolescents, we have witnessed soaring rates of mental health challenges among children, adolescents, and their families over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, exacerbating the situation that existed prior to the pandemic. Children and families across our country have experienced enormous adversity and disruption. The inequities that result from structural racism have contributed to disproportionate impacts on children from communities of color.
This worsening crisis in child and adolescent mental health is inextricably tied to the stress brought on by COVID-19 and the ongoing struggle for racial justice and represents an acceleration of trends observed prior to 2020.

Estovir, the dairy in question may not be among the ones in the archives. Obviously they have several and she may have written many not meant to be published. The specific dairy being sought may not be among the ones that are open to the public in the archives.
Page 25, dated Jan 30, 2019….it is all there, online, disgusting details, her own words, she even states that “Dr Jill”, her mother was “emotionally unavailable, …….I’m not your mother”
https://ia601800.us.archive.org/6/items/ashley-biden-diary_20210131/Ashley%20Biden%20Diary.pdf
Such a broken family, which makes perfect sense why Barack Obama said about him: “ Don’t Underestimate Joe’s Ability to F— Things Up”
Who voted for this monster?
The left objects to you Praying in church for good things.
The left supports Joe Biden Preying on his family and taking his percentage from The Biden Crime Family Syndicate.
Olly, the contents of the dairy being hearsay is irrelevant if the intent of using its contents is blackmail.
Given that the truth about the content is not known to the public. The FBI may have better info regarding its contents and therefore justification for searching for it.
The point is anything that poses a risk to the president or his family MUST be investigated. The loss of a diary from the president’s daughter that may contain information that might be used to blackmail her or any other family members falls under the umbrella of national security. If it was Trump’s daughter while he was still president the FBI would be doing exactly the same thing.
The loss of a diary from the president’s daughter that may contain information that might be used to blackmail her or any other family members falls under the umbrella of national security
Like the nuclear codes? Contact info for Hunter Biden’s drug dealer? Joe Biden’s neuropsychological exam results?
Decisions, decisions
If it was one of Trump’s Daughters….the FBI and DOJ would be leaking details they found the most damaging…..will that happen when they find the Biden Daughter’s Diary?
Look at the documented leaks traced back to the FBI about the Steele Dossier as reported by Inspector General Horowitz.
“Damaging information involving health, discussions, or anything that may be useful for foreign or domestic terrorists . . .”
Our enemies do not need a diary to secure “damaging information.” There’s lots of publicly available information: Afghanistan, kowtowing to communist China, wrecking the American economy, turning the military into a woke psychiatry ward, . . .
Sam, as you well know, our enemies can even use the confidential discussions between the Biden Crime Syndicate and countries that hate us. After all, we all know that Joe is the big guy and gets at least 10% while sharing his accounts with his son Hunter who sells his paintings at an inflated price because Joe has always been vulnerable to influence peddling.
If only finger prints could confirm or DNA for that matter. But oh well confirmed day the FBI playing Nazi spy tactics LGBFJB-fbi
I think Veritas was set up by the one who gave them the diary
Probably figured to catch Veritas before they turned it in to police? 🙂
Except it was given to PV right before the 2020 fraud election, and when PV could not verify it was Ashley’s, they gave it to law enforcement – quite a long time ago.
No doubt
Most likely, but O’Keefe is to smart for that! Thank goodness! He very much KNOWS THEIR GAME.
It does not matter.
PV must themselves have allegedly committed a crime for the FBI to target them.
Even if the Diary was stolen and PV knew it was stolen – that is still freedom of the press.
Washington Post published the pentagon papers which were stolen from MacNamara and contained classified information.
This is more of the politically motivated nonsense that started with SC Fitzgerald in the Bush admin.
And continued on steroids with the Obama admin.
Now Biden DOJ has put it on steriods.
It is clear that once again the DOJ and FBI are the personal and policital tools of democrats.
Whether it is covering up for the Biden Syndicate or going after their enemies – unfreindly journalists and parents are the targets of the FBI today.
John B. Say,
Accusing the FBI of going after “unfriendly” journalists or parents is disingenuous. They are doing their job. They would be doing the same thing if it was Trump’s daughter and her diary turned up missing.
Under Barr, trump had the same discretion with the FBI. Why wouldn’t Biden’s actions be any different?
If a risk of blackmail was evident shouldn’t the FBI get involved if it was Trump’s daughter?
“Accusing the FBI of going after “unfriendly” journalists or parents is disingenuous. They are doing their job.”
LOL This guy would be hilarious if he meant these things as jokes.
I’m wondering if anyone is going to look into this issue period.
The article also states that P.V. Handed the diary back to police. So P.V. Knows what’s in the the diary. Something is not right here with this story and what’s going….
It looks like P.V. In fear folded
At first I thought there was nothing to see here. Now I know there is something to see.
Right? And if this occurred a year ago why is the FBI involved? Brandon wasn’t President sworn in as President yet… 🤔
You are right – something is not right.
Currently, what we know only comes from PV or the times article.
But assuming the facts are as OKeeffe stated,
PV was approached seeking money for the diary.
They asked for proof the diary was genuine.
What they received did not convince them of either the accuracy of merit of the material.
The contacted the Biden’s offering what they had. The Biden’s ignored them.
They gave what they had to law enforcement.
They were cooperating with law enforcement when 2 of their staff were raided by the FBI.
They were also served with subpeona’s to appear before a grand jury.
The fact that NYT published information about the FBI raids within an hour of the raids strongly indicates the FBI is deliberately and illegally leaking.
There is much we do not know.
There is not at this time any explanation for the involvement of ANY law enforcement AT ALL.
What evidence we have is that the Diary was lost, not stolen and that PV made efforts to return it, not publish it.
Even speculating it is very hard to come up with a federal crime that has been violated.
If the diary was stolen – that is a local law enforcement matter – not the FBI.
Even if there was classified information in it – that would indicate violations of the espionage act by the Biden’s – how did Amy Biden recieve classified information to put into her diary ?
Raiding a journalist PERIOD, much less raiding one who is cooperating is very serious, and requires the FBI to credibly beleive that PV is participating in a federal crime. There is no basis to beleive that at this time.
“ If the diary was stolen – that is a local law enforcement matter – not the FBI.”
No. Because it involves family of the Vice President. Just because Biden wasn’t president at the time he was still Vice President. If the contents of the diary were a concern the FBI had a duty to investigate. It’s their job. No crime need be committed for the FBI to investigate.
“ Even speculating it is very hard to come up with a federal crime that has been violated.”
The FBI deals with counter intelligence matters as well. They need not have a crime being violated to investigate a possible risk to the Vice President or his family.
If Biden has his way there will be 87,000 more people working for the Internal Revenue. Guess who they will be watching.
It is more likely that once it was discovered that project veritas had the diary in possession it was going to be targeted. Obviously they went through it and possibly were going to use it against the president by releasing embarrassing information OR they discovered that the information was only going to hurt the president’s daughter and PV could have been sued for defamation.
Project Veritas goes through a very thorough verification process, unlike the NYT or WP. That is why what they show on video is accurate and what they say is carefully evaluated, so they do not say things thought not to be true. Instead they say things that are true.
The many suits won and the number of retractions by other media outlets proves that.
“ Project Veritas goes through a very thorough verification process, unlike the NYT or WP. That is why what they show on video is accurate and what they say is carefully evaluated, so they do not say things thought not to be true. Instead they say things that are true.”
Um… nope. They have been found on numerous occasions to be less than honest about their verification processes
https://www.aft.org/press-release/federal-judge-denies-james-okeefes-attempt-dodge-accountability-illegal
To date Project Veritas has eventually won every case it has been involved in. That is over a dozen and maybe two-dozen cases where PV won, many times being paid significant damages. In an ongoing case with the NYT PV defeated the NYT and the case will go forward and PV will win again. The case you present was permitted to go forward which is not a big step when the complainant is wrong, but well funded.
What you are objecting to is PV finding out on video bad things done by the AFT. They hate PV for reporting battery and rape against students where the teachers weren’t punished.
I guess you support the battery and rape of K-12 students. At least you are consistent with your defense of the lack of action against the Olympic Coach sexually taking advantage of female athletes. Are all leftists perverts?
By the way in recent years the number of retractions by those who side with you are in the vicinity of 350 the last time I checked. They didn’t want to lose a case in court.
No. Never.
Now do WaPo and NYT on the fake Russian Collusion that they won PULITIZERS for. Talk about not vetting their information…They should be made to return them publicly in front of us whilst apologizing to the country for pushing the Progressive lies for 5 years.
The FBI has become a TERRORIST ORGANIZATION !! It’s time to do away with them once and for all, they are nothing but a group of hitmen for the LIBERAL DEMOCRAT PARTY !!! This ILLEGAL RAID IN AN INNOCENT ORGANIZATION IS JUST MORE PROOF OF THE CORRUPTION THAT EXISTS WITHIN THE RANKS OF THE FBI AND AT THE VERY LEAST SHOULD JUSTIFY A FULL SCALED FULLY TRANSPARENT TOTALLY INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION OF THEIR CONTINUED CRIMINAL WRONGDOING RESULTING IN THE ABOLITION OF THIS CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION !!!! THE ACTIONS OF THE CRIMINAL FBI ARE DEPLORABLE AND CRIMINAL TO SAY THE LEAST !!! IT’S TIME TO DEMAND THE FBI BE ABOLISHED !!! DISGUSTING !!!
Spencer Meads was raided. The guy in the PV NJ voter fraud expose was Irish. There is a Spencer Meads who writes for drinkmemag, born in Ireland, went to school for politics. Not sure if these are the same Spencers, but is the FBI actually after what PV has on voter fraud, while exposing Joe for what he is at the same time?
did the FeeBees and DeeOJay ever investigate the leak of Trump’s income tax returns
Absolutely not, they were the ones behind it !!! NOTHING BUT LIBERAL CRIMINALS !!!!
While the call to defund the police increases citizen danger, a call to defund the FBI would slow the rapid decline of citizen Constitutional protections
How So ? The FBI exists to enforce federal criminal laws.
There is almost nothing that is a federal crime that is not also a state or local crime.
So specifically what is it that the FBI does, that no one else does,that would diminish the constitutional protections of US citizens ?’
Throughout my entire lifetime – from Hoover and the infiltration of civil rights and antiwar groups, through the modern FBI targeting parents and journalists I am hard pressed to think of anything the FBI has done right.
Richard Jewel and The Atlanta bombing ?
Wacco ?
Randy Weaver and Wacco ?
The Anthrax letters ?
and many many more.
Today we find that in the Michigan Wolverines – 12 of 18 members were FBI agents or informers, and THEY initiated the plot to kidnap Whitmer. The 6 non FBI members nixed the FBI plan to kill her.
We also saw this post 9/11 where the FBI infitrated groups of young muslims and framed them for alleged acts of terrorism.
And we see it with 1/6 were none of the alleged worst offenders – all or most likely FBI informants have been charged.
We see it with the collusion delusion. The Very BEST that can be said of the FBI is that they were stupid and incompetent and were used by the Clinton campaign.
That is actually unlikely. What is near certainly true is that the FBI was PART of a Criminal Fraud on the FISA courts.
I would further note that the FBI Knew the Steele Dossier was crap when James Comey – who had recently shared it with president elect Trump sat in a meeting with Obama and Biden and plotted to use it to continue an illegal investigation of political opposition.
Those of you on the left do not seem to grasp the seriousness and misconduct that flowed from the Steele Dossier.
After Downing was interviewed the Steele Dossier was the ONLY foundation for any Trump investigation.
From the behind the FBI KNEW where it came from – that alone is a reason to be suspicious of its content.
That investigation would be illegal the moment the FBI had reason to doubt its veracity.
That was true from t he start, but it was certainly true when its source repudiated it.
And yet after the Steele Dossier went from probably crap, to demonstrably crap – Obama, Biden, and the FBI continued warrants based on it, continued an investigation based on it. And After Trump took office Rosenstein initiated a SC investigation – with that Dossier as the sole foundation, and Mueller continued that investigation for years.
Everyone involved – Obama, Biden, Comey, Rosenstein, Mueller – know or should have known that they were dealing with allegations that were litterally made up – they were not even gossip. There was NO Source at all. And that originated with a political party that they favored targeting one they opposed.
You left wing nuts impeached Trump for seeking the investigation of the Biden Syndicates misconduct in Ukraine.
The entire basis for that investigation has been VERIFIED as true. There SHOULD right now be a SC looking into Biden Syndicate misconduct – in ukraine and elsewhere.
The claim that this was all debunked rightwin conspiracy theories is left wing propoganda.
The claim that it was Russian disinformation – is left wing propoganda.
There is a massive trove of records substantiating the entirety of this and much much more.
Affadavits, emails, Documents acquired from the State Department and FBI through FOI requests. Statements by the people involved – often co-conspirators, as well as what has been recovered from Hunter Biden’s laptop. There are now photos of Biden meeting with people he has denied meeting with. And pictures of Biden meeting with all the business associates of his Son.
The Biden Syndicate engaged in large scale influence peddling, selling the office of the vice president of the united states.
And like most criminal syndicates – there is all kinds of PROVEN related criminal misconduct. Sleeping with underage prostitutes. Violations of gun laws, using the FBI for personal business, drug crimes. Tax Evasion.
And yet no Special Counsel ?
We had a special counsel to investigate the politically manufactured fraudulent claims that the DOJ KNEW were garbage at the time.
Yet, no SC for allegations that have thousands of pages of actual evidence provided by those inside the crime syndicate ?
“ So specifically what is it that the FBI does, that no one else does,that would diminish the constitutional protections of US citizens ?’. They investigate and are in the business of counter intelligence against terrorist organizations foreign and domestic. Local law enforcement doesn’t have the resource or training to deal with those kinds of law enforcement.
How well were the Gymnasts protected by the FBI who allowed a serial rapist to continue to prey on them for years after they came forward ?
Svalid would say they were doing their job. Did they get into the act?
“ How well were the Gymnasts protected by the FBI who allowed a serial rapist to continue to prey on them for years after they came forward ?”
Was the FBI aware there was a serial rapist in their midst? Why would they be “allowing” it to happen?
Did it involve a federal crime?
Ignorance is bliss. YOU really don’t know about this???? Turn off CNN.
When you have an FBI leadership that is willing to make their organization available as a political weapon, then it’s just a matter of inventing a national security pretext for such a raid.
This diary sounds like a false flag to get the last bit of intergity in jail. Im joining the FBI to fix this.
that’s dumb
We know little or nothing about the Diary.
It may as you claim be some kind of false flag or Fraud.
That is not relevant.
It is PV’s responsibility to vet what they are provided, and to deal with it responsibly.
That responsibility is judged by the public by what they do and what the publish
It is not a legitimate avenue for criminal investigation.
PV chose not to publish and to turn over what they knew to law enforcement.
If this was a “false Flag” – PV has far more credibility than even the FBI.
PV did not go forward with the Diary. The FBI did push forward with the manufactered Steele Dossier.
PV did turn over what they had to law enforcement – even though there is not likely a crime in any of this.
But that is not the big issue.
The real issue which Turley raises has nothing to do with the Diary itself.
The issue is WHY is the FBI targeting an unfriendly journalist organization where there is no evidence of a federal crime, and it appears no evidence of any crime ?
This is not about the Diary, it is about the FBI and DOJ AGAIN being used for political purposes.
So we have their massive failure pushing the bogus Trump Russia collusion.
We have their massive Failure targeting parents in VA
And now we have them targeting journalists they do not like.
This is not about the Diary.
It is not about PV.
It is about the abuse of DOJ/FBI.
The left felt justified in impeaching Trump for seeking and obviously justified investigation of Biden.
Wasn’t the founder of this organization already convicted early on for criminal activity in attempting to push his agenda?
Nope. He was vindicated.
No. The lying mainstream media told you that lie.
He was a political target of the abortion cartel and you guessed it, the hoe under Joe. We either have freedom of the press or we don’t. There is no exceptions there is no specific viewpoint that is more acceptable than the other. It’s either freedom of the press or we don’t have freedom of the press, full stop. No you cannot say well what if they violated this law. According to the Constitution, there is no laws restricting the freedom of the press. Especially when you’re in a public venue like what happened with that situation. There is no expectation of privacy, and when you’re talking about selling aborted baby parts and delivering babies live in order to harvest certain organs, I think the American people have the right to know that. It’s sick that this ever happened to begin with but even more sick that we have people who put push imprisoning press members for doing their jobs. I would suggest you read the constitution my friend.
We do not have freedom of the press. Where have you people been the last 2 years?
You might ask selt who or what , filled you with bad info.
What “bad info” would you be referring to?
Maybe if YOU got your information somewhere other than CNN, you would know that he was falsely accused and found not guilty of ANY charges !!! You LIBERALS are ALL lying MORONS !!!!
OKeeffe was falsely accused.
But he did plead guilty of a misdemeanor faced with a hostile judge
The case was ludicrously stupid.
OKeeffe entered a public Federal Building.
Went to a Senators Public Office to video her reception desk to verify that her public statement that calls were being dropped because there were too many was correct.
All of that is legal and all of that is journalism.
he pled guilty to a Class B misdemeanor

Wikipedia is NOT a source for facts. Never has been –
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:General_disclaimer
For the crime of walking into a federal building, get a grip.
Correct – that is despite the fact that the alleged crime was never committed.
OKeefe entered the building in plain cloths using his own ID. He said nothing to anyone, and was there to film what his collegues were doing.
They were there to film the senators switchboard. She had publicly claimed that people were notable to get through to express their views on a pending vote because her switch board was jammed. OKeeffe and his crew sought to video phone traffic at her public reception desk to determine if that was true.
That is all journalism.
There never should have been charges.
Of course not, but Democrats are fascists whether leftist members on this blog understand what the word means or not.
James O’Keefe has defeated all charges and all lawsuits brought against him. Project Veritas is an excellent organization with a stellar record for exposing fraud, human trafficking, voter fraud, election theft, etc.. They’ve never committed illegal acts in their quest to expose the crimi al elements in our government
Thank you! I needed to hear that again. I’m constantly having to defend and do so with great relish!
James O’Keefe has been convicted of crime before.
There have been so many posts explaining what you don’t seem to know. You should read a few of them or go to the web site. O’Keefe provides all the details. Afterwards, you can hit yourself in the head.
nope
No, he plead guilty to a misdemendor charge for something that should not be a crime and is not most everywhere
Essentially being “undercover” in public.
Worse still the charge was false. OKeeffe was not undercover at the time. He entered a public federal building in a business suite using his own drivers license and attempted to video record a public reception desk.
No.
Tell us again about how you voted for Obama, you right wing stooge. Here is, allegedly, a law professor who doesn’t understand that a burglary investigation might search the person who admits BEING IN POSSESSION of stolen goods. I hope the 30 pieces of silver were worth it, Professor Turley.
timb, limit your post to facts….and it completely disappears.
Seems timb is a new troll or existing troll with a new name…
Calm down there, hun. Take some deep breaths. How about actually answer the legitimate questions? Can yo I do that?
Wow Tim, seems as though Professor Turley struck a nerve, so who is the real stooge again Hunter?
Timb, why would the FBI be investigating a burglary? That would be something for the local police.
You’re conveniently leaving out the part where Veritas attempted to return the diary because they couldn’t verify it authenticity. Are you DNA challenged?
Being Stupid is DANGERIOUS .
FBI , as noted in the article , does not do routine stollen property searches , by jurisdiction restrictions .
except the diary wasn’t stolen if was found in a room formerly occupied by Ms. Biden. O’Keefe couldn’t get it authenticated and tried to return it to Ms. Biden’s attorney who wouldn’t take it. taking it would have been a form of authentication
Peter: “taking it would have been a form of authentication”
+++
Yes, they learned about that risk when Hunter’s lawyer tried to recover the laptop.
Did you not read the part where Project Veritas TURNED IT OVER TO THE POLICE? Hard to call it “possession of stolen goods” when you give it to the police. Want to try again?
Not the deepest of thinkers, are you?
No, they turned the stolen material over to law enforcement. If someone drops a stolen wallet on your porch, and you call the cops to collect it, there is no basis for a seacrh unless the cops have probable cause that you were involved with the theft. It can’t be a SUSPICION, it has to be HARD EVIDENCE presented to a judge. The FBI an DOJ have proven that they will ie and fabricate probable cause for warrants, including FISA warrants, against the political opposition to their paymasters, the fascist Social Democrats. Veritas has been a target, as they have exposed Democrat wrongdoing
The US is rapidly becoming a totalitarian state at the hands of the Social Democrat party, which is working in league with the oligarchy of tech billionaires to control absolutely all aspects of American life and communications.
The days of a free internet are numbered. Sites like this will soon be monitored and blocked. Servers will have to be relocated to other countries and VPNs used to access them – until even those are cut off.
The FBI does not investigate burglary.
The police do not charge people with being in possession of stolen goods, when those people initiate contact with the police and provide them with the goods.
At this time there is not only no evidence, there is no public allegation the goods were stolen.
Further PV attempted to return the allegedly stolen goods to the alleged owners who denied ownership.
At that point it is reasonable to believe the goods were not stolen.
You can not have it both ways.
The Alleged Amy Biden diary must be REAL to be stolen from her. And if it is REAL, when she refused to accept it back she relinquished ownership.
And the only circumstance in which this is an FBI matter is if the Diary contains classified information – and if that is the case the Biden’s violated the espionage act.
Thank you to the good professor for reminding us of a few things we may have forgotten or maybe never knew….
FJB!
Thank you Brandon
