The New York Times clearly has a long line of such memos on the publication of classified or stolen material and would cry foul if those were stolen and published. That appears to be the tenor of the Barr memo. Often these memos talk about how far a publication can go under existing law. I have worked both sides in media cases over three decades and I have written memos on the legal considerations for publication. The memos sound like typical legal analysis for a news organization in explaining the legal standards that would apply in possibly publishing material from the Ashley Biden diary. In his opinion, Judge Charles Wood describes how the New York Times was given the legal memos of PV counsel Benjamin Barr. What is most striking is that the New York Times story is an attack on both core media and legal values. Conversely, the New York Times obtained core attorney-client material that was unlawfully taken from Project Veritas. Ashley Biden’s diary was deemed a federal issue of such importance that the Administration conducted highly intrusive searches and seizures targeting a publisher. The difference in response appears based on source of the material and the political orientation of the publication. Yet, both publications were given stolen or abandoned confidential material. Of course, Project Veritas is hardly popular with many in the media as an outfit known for ambush journalism. They raided the home and seized the confidential communications of the founder of Project Veritas, James O’Keefe, as well as others associated with this publication. That is what the Justice Department did when Project Veritas was given the diary of President Joe Biden’s daughter, Ashley – the subject of the New York Times story.
One question, however, remains: when will the FBI raid the home of New York Times publisher, A.G. That issue will be now be addressed in the courts. I joined in expressing those concerns about courts preventing a news publication and then ordering the return of material sent by a source. And any other crimes he has, is currently, and may in future commit.ĭo your Amazon shopping through this link, because reasons.The Christmas Eve order for the New York Times to return confidential legal material from the conservative publication, Project Veritas, has led many to decry the imposition of a “prior restraint” on the media. Still, what's a hundred thousand dollar settlement when you've managed to break up an entire national organization of community activists and make "community organizing" a scandal? Many years later, they sent us a stupid letter about it. oh what are all the Nunes lawyers and Diamonds and Silks calling it these days?. O'Keefe and Project Veritas are famous for undercover videos they deceptively edit Wonkette first and exclusively reported that O'Keefe had settled with an ACORN employee he had pain-and-sufferinged through. Pages of the diary were published not by Project Veritas but by Patrick Howley of "The National File" ( so much presumed malware, no link, not that we would link anyway), which somehow shares a Sheridan, Wyoming, address with both an O'Keefe company and a company registered by the actual spy O'Keefe hired to train operatives in the art of journalism or some shit, the Times reports. I, having searched out and read three extremely privacy-invading lines, do not recommend. James O'Keefe has been convicted of a misdemeanor, not a felony so it doesn't even count, in his political spying operations before (for breaking into then-Senator Mary Landrieu's office dressed as a phone technician when it clearly should have been a plumber), and the FBI seems to think his group Project Veritas may somehow be involved in the burglary of Ashley Biden's diary - which we're pretty shocked didn't get any coverage outside of Infowars and very few others. Oh shit, is it Hillary Clinton's place? Is Hillary involved with Project Veritas? Are the FBI there to check her kitchen permits? One is in Manhattan, at the apartment of Project Veritas "operative" Spencer Meads.
I'm not entirely sure we knew Joe Biden had a daughter, or that she had a name.īut today the New York Times reports the FBI is all up in "locations linked" to O'Keefe's Project Veritas, which a judge says in a different case can be referred to as a "political spying operation," so we're going to go with that. We didn't even know some scuzzy rightwing website had published President Joe Biden's daughter Ashley's stolen diary. I regret to inform you that Wonkette, which pays attention to rightwing bullshit so you don't have to, has laid down on the job.
