 Post Millenial: A new whistleblower document obtained by Project Veritas has revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is targeting election crimes relating to "misinformation" and "disinformation" ahead of the midterm elections nest month. The document , provided to Project Veritas by an FBI whistleblower, is titled "2022 Midterm Elections Social Media Analysis Cheat Sheet," and outlines election crimes that the FBI is targetting. "Disinformation" is included as one of these crimes, defined as "false or inaccurate information intended to mislead others. Disinformation campaigns on social media are used to deliberately confuse, trick, or upset the public." Also being targeted are crimes related to "misinformation," defined on the sheet as "false or misleading information spread mistakenly or unintentionally." Other crimes listed are voter intimidation and suppression, voter and ballot fraud, election infl...

 J. Christian Anderson: In the Washington D.C. suburb of Alexandria, Va., carjackings have  made the news lately . Thieves steal cars at Virginia gas stations and race across the Woodrow Wilson Bridge over the Potomac and into Maryland to relative safety. The Department of Justice doesn’t seem to be doing anything about enforcing the federal laws prohibiting transport of stolen goods across the Virginia-Maryland state line. If the carjacker was named James O’Keefe of Project Veritas, things would be very different. The saga of James O’Keefe’s  quite possibly completely legal acquisition  of Ashley Biden’s diary, and the resulting DOJ secret seizure of his emails from the Microsoft Office 365 cloud, is disgraceful. The lawyers involved should be ashamed, and perhaps even sanctioned by the bars to which they belong. It is an example of a Justice Department even more politicized than it was under Eric Holder, something few thought possible. ... Through twists and turns,...

  Project Veritas: Pulitzer Prize Winning New York Times Reporter: January 6 Media Coverage ‘Overreaction,’ FBI Involved, Event Was Not Organized Despite Ongoing Narrative I think much of the Jan. 6 narrative was overblown for political reasons. 

 Glenn Reynolds: ... The press and the FBI are pretty clearly just partners in defending the Democrats by any means necessary. This corruption — because that’s what it is — has already destroyed their reputations, but there should be a much greater reckoning. This followed a much longer piece on what looks like collusion between the New York Times and the FBI in attacks on Project Veritas which has exposed liberal corruption.

 Power Line: The New York Times devoted an overlong editorial to a condemnation of the court order requiring it to disgorge privileged attorney-client memos advising Project Veritas on how to conduct its work lawfully. The Times published the memos online in connection with a story it ran on the memos. I posted the court opinion and order  here . The Times editorial puts me in mind of the adage that no man is to be a judge in his own case. The court was adversely impressed by the Times’s nonexplanation of how it obtained the memos. The Times asserts that it did so in normal “newsgathering efforts.” At page 7 of the opinion, however, the court quotes from the Times’s opposition to Project Veritas’s motion seeking relief. As the judge put it (emphasis in original, footnote omitted), “the Times incredibly admitted that ‘no  apparent  bribery…was used to obtain the memoranda.'” I commented that the Times isn’t talking on this point. It is resting on its rights under the ...

 Washington Examiner: A New York judge ordered the  New York Times  to destroy all copies of attorney-client privileged memos from Project Veritas. The order signed by Judge Charles Wood of the State Supreme Court in Westchester County on Friday found the newspaper improperly obtained and published materials from the memos written by lawyers for the conservative group that discussed Project Veritas's methods of reporting. The group sued the  New York Times  in November 2020 for defamation. The physical copies, the New York Supreme Court said, must be delivered to Project Veritas's counsel. If the  New York Times  does not comply by late January, the court warned the newspaper could face sanctions.

 Red States: As  RedState reported , Project Veritas has found itself in the crosshairs of the FBI recently. That began with a raid on the homes of several of its journalists under the guise of looking for Ashley Biden’s diary. Apparently, a stolen diary is now in the purview of federal authorities. Will they be investigating bike thefts next? But what was so disturbing, besides the raids happening in the first place, was how quickly The New York Times knew about them. While O’Keefe was asked by the FBI to keep quiet, the Times knew within hours, pointing to a leaker within the bureau. But while the Department of Justice requested us to not disclose the existence of the subpoena, something very unusual happened. 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 sear...

 Brandon Morse: Back in April, Project Veritas CEO James O’Keefe brought a lawsuit against Twitter after the social media giant terminated his account over the excuse — without evidence — that he was running multiple fake accounts. Perhaps not so surprisingly, they did this as Project Veritas was exposing CNN’s technical director Charlie Chester. (Watch: James O’Keefe Confronts CNN Director Who Openly Bragged of Using “Fear” and “Propaganda” Directly ) The lawsuit was filed in a New York state court, which Twitter immediately attempted to have transferred to a California federal court where the chances that the lawsuit would be dismissed are rather high… too high, in fact. In order to make that happen, Twitter’s lawyer, Amer Ahmed, attempted to make the case that O’Keefe would seek legal damages, which would guarantee the move to the California court, but O’Keefe had a different idea in mind according to Project Veritas .... In other words, O’Keefe has his sites set a bit higher t...

 Diane Diamond: ... The backstory: In February, two Twitter accounts associated with the Project were permanently canceled for what the site called “repeated violations of privacy.” More recently, O’Keefe’s personal Twitter account was permanently yanked. The first ban came after Project Veritas leaked video clips of a meeting with Facebook executives called to discuss the platform’s censorship policy. Then one of Project Veritas’ reporters confronted Facebook’s Guy Rosen, the vice president of integrity, outside his home and asked for further clarification. Visible in the background were the address numbers on Rosen’s house, but no street name was seen. Is this a violation of privacy? In April, another banishment came after O’Keefe used his personal account to announce the Project’s #ExposeCNN campaign. He released undercover video of a CNN employee, technical director Charles Chester, admitting the network’s news coverage is tainted by liberal politics. Chester was filmed sayi...

 Epoch Times: Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe said on April 25 that he’s filing a defamation lawsuit against CNN after his Twitter account was suspended earlier this month. O’Keefe has already filed a lawsuit against Twitter after it banned his account, saying the social media platform falsely accused him of operating fake accounts. Twitter alleged he violated its platform manipulation rules, which O’Keefe has denied. “There are people on Twitter who are impersonating me who still remain on Twitter,” he told Fox News on April 25. “I will depose [CEO Jack Dorsey] under oath. … And tomorrow, I will sue CNN.” O’Keefe said the lawsuit will be expanded to cover CNN after anchor Ana Cabrera alleged that Project Veritas’ Twitter ban was due to it spreading disinformation. “Not even Twitter alleges that I was banned, or Project Veritas was banned, for disinformation,” O’Keefe told Fox News. “Every day in this country, people are defamed and lied about constantly, and they don’t h...
