Ex-judge rejects free speech defense in Project Veritas case

NEW YORK (AP) — The First Amendment protection for journalists should not keep prosecutors from seeing most evidence gathered in a probe of people connected to conservative group Project Veritas, a former federal judge appointed to the case said in a report Tuesday.

NEW YORK (AP) — The First Amendment protection for journalists should not keep prosecutors from seeing most evidence gathered in a probe of people connected to conservative group Project Veritas, a former federal judge appointed to the case said in a report Tuesday.

Barbara Jones told U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres that she recommends letting prosecutors view most of the 1,000-plus documents gathered through search warrants for a probe into how the group received a diary purported to belong to President Joe Biden’s daughter, Ashley Biden.

Neither Project Veritas nor any of its staffers have been charged with a crime. The group says its activities were newsgathering and were ethical and legal.

Jones, who formerly served as a federal judge in Manhattan, acknowledged that courts have long recognized a qualified evidentiary privilege for information gathered during a journalistic investigation.

But she wrote that the privilege is not absolute and that it offers the greatest protection when the information is gathered from confidential sources.

Her diary? Well, if that's all the conservative propaganda machine could get ahold of, they are clearly slipping. Time to call in Rudy Ghouliani to steal her laptop and cell phone.

A Maui style fire through the building would be better, but this isn't bad either. The Wagner Group of US journalism.

Exclusive: James O’Keefe Is Now Under Investigation for Looting Project Veritas

Prosecutors in Westchester County, N.Y., are pursuing charges against the right’s premiere “gotcha video” scammer, for scamming his own donors.
www.thenation.com www.thenation.com

James O’Keefe, the founder and until this past February CEO of the right-wing nonprofit Project Veritas, is currently under investigation by the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office.

While the exact nature of the investigation is not yet public, the timing would suggest that it relates to O’Keefe’s alleged financial improprieties during his tenure as the group’s chairman and CEO. Back in February, O’Keefe was accused of spending “an excessive amount of donor funds in the last three years on personal luxuries” by the conservative nonprofit’s own board of directors, amid their very public feud over the management and future of Veritas. Westchester DA Miriam Rocah’s probe follows a raft of civil lawsuits, criminal investigations, and six-figure court losses that have trailed the group under O’Keefe’s leadership—including a still-active federal investigation into the theft of property belonging to President Biden’s daughter Ashley Biden.

I'm nobody's lawyer. But if this diary is as important as they seem to think, aren't there grand larceny charges out there?
Waiting to be filed?

Brought up in court?

Dayum.

Here's the difference I see between Hunter's laptop and a diary.

The claim that Hunter left it at a shop and never returned doesn't sound plausible to me. But it's not impossible, so people who prefer to believe it can do so.

But a diary? Ms Biden dropped her diary off for repairs somewhere? WTF?

You seemed concerned about them. Enough to post about it.

Why?

I'm just amused by the never ending wishes, celebrations and jokes of death and destruction by progressives and the like on their political enemies. The Maui fire was extremely fast moving and destructive. A mile a minute. A "Maui style" fire in the Veritas building would certainly doom the inhabitants to an extremely terrifying and torturous death. Call me crazy but a wish like that, even on your "enemies" is a little disturbing, don't you think?

If you actually took the time to see what a fucked up mess Hunter was, you would realize that him leaving his laptop for repair and forgetting about it was about the least reckless thing he's done in the last 10 years. This is a guy who drove something like 175 mph in a Porsche while smoking crack on a drive to go see some hookers! Who does that shit, other than cartoon characters?

"They sold the property to an organization in New York for $40,000 and even returned to take more of the victim’s property when asked to do so."

Sounds like grand larceny to me. Receiving stolen goods is a crime.

But what do I know.

I do understand why people prefer to believe that. I can't say I know differently.

More lawsuits for James O'Keefe.

...
Right-wing media group Project Veritas is suing its founder James O’Keefe, accusing him of bullying employees, racking up massive personal bills on company accounts, and using Project Veritas resources to start a new, rival media shop.

The suit, filed Wednesday in New York federal court, comes amid a bitter rift between O’Keefe and Project Veritas, the far-right video sting operation he founded in 2010.
