Project Veritas loses journalistic and attorney-client privilege claims in Ashley Biden case

[Ohio Joe]

The Department of Justice’s seizure of materials from the home of Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe and other staffers does not threaten First Amendment freedoms or journalistic privilege, a special master ruled on Tuesday.

Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe describes the FBI’s search on a staffer’s home in a YouTube video.

“This is not a situation where the Government is deputizing Petitioners to do its investigative work for it; the Government is investigating Petitioners,” former federal judge Barbara Jones noted in a 21-page report and recommendation.

The petitioners listed in the ruling are O’Keefe and two other staffers: Spencer Meads and Eric Cochran.

Magaloons are getting justice from all sides these days... I like it

1. You know how hard you have to fuck up to lose privilege? Bigly!

2. Project (so-called) Veritas: Let Justice roll down

like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. And if a source of lies and slander goes under, so much the better for truth and the rest of us.

3. Perhaps that is why the jackass O'Keefe stepped away from Project Veritas a few days ago

6. He was forced out for misuse of money and being

abusive to employees. Grifters going to grift

4. My reaction to this is as follows:

5. Good!

Time to go for the jugular, although as I recall, O'Keefe was kicked out of his own organization.

In fact he was - a month ago https://www.npr.org/2023/02/21/1158505780/project-veritas-james-okeefe-forced-out-financial-malfeasance

7. These fascists want to break the law with impunity

And when the criminal justice system steps in, they cry out "political persecution".

Always the victim. Except they're not.

8. I do believe 2023 is the year of reckoning.

9. The liars at Project Veritas have never been 'journalists' though.

They're a paid propaganda outlet that uses all sorts of fraud to obtain footage which they edit the piss out of to spin whatever fairy tale they've been paid to produce.

[Ligyron]

10. Even Tucky Poo Carlson does a better job of lying to the public.

Of course, he had 40k hours of film to work with.

But the result is the same, nobody with even half an ounce of sense believes a word they say.
