A right-wing group specializing in hidden-camera investigations will not be able to use the First Amendment to stop the federal government from accessing documents and communications related to the group’s apparent acquisition of a stolen diary belonging to President Joe Biden’s daughter.
As Law&Crime previously reported, the FBI executed a search warrant in 2021 at the property of Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe, as well as from Project Veritas staffers Spencer Meads and Eric Cochran. The search warrants were granted in connection with the theft and sale of the personal journal belonging to Ashley Biden, the president’s daughter. Two people, Aimee Harris and Robert Kurlander, pleaded guilty in August 2022 to conspiring to commit interstate transportation of stolen property, admitting that they stole personal property — including Ashley Biden’s diary — and sold it to Project Veritas for a total of $40,000.
A special master, retired federal judge Barbara Jones, was selected to conduct a review of the documents in connection with the government’s investigation and determine which ones weren’t protected by the First Amendment, the reporter’s privilege, or attorney-client privilege. Project Veritas, Meads, Cochran, and O’Keefe — who is no longer with the organization — have been fighting the release of items seized under the 2021 search warrants.

How is it “stolen” and why did Joe Biden shower with his daughter to the extent she had to hide from him and shower late at night?
He’s an extremely perverted pedophile and it’s baffling how it is just allowed and never discussed.
fixed it.
Odiousbama stooges gonna stooge.
All the children and grandchildren had to do the shower-dance with The Rumpleforeskin.
Stupid Judge. It will keep Joe’s perversion in the news.
Rapin' Bill stooge Barbara S. Jones.
Democrat stooge-judges give their political enemies the Special treatment.
Yes, sadly.
Demonrats are truly abhorrent people!
How was it stolen when she left it behind at the treatment facility?
I personally think she left it behind on purpose.
Exactly. No one was talking about it recently. The MSM could simply dismiss it as right-wing conspiracy/fakery.
Now they have literally raised to a high-publicity federal case.
Intended?
Here's the story with a different headline:
First Amendment claim struck down in Project Veritas case focused on diary of Biden’s daughter
I didn't think of that angle but it could be.
“All the children and grandchildren had to do the shower-dance with The Rumpleforeskin.”
Gads..... I’m a gonna change it to the Crumpledforeskin shower dance. No wonder the kids are so screwed up. Totally dysfunctional. Anybody else woulda been dealing with multiple state agencies and doing some hard time, if they survived.
Must be democracy in action.
Unfortunately.
It wasn’t stolen, special master, Captain Kangaroo, Barbara Jones.
Almost stopped reading there.
Such wonderful objectivity. /sarcasm
Same with crackhead’s computer.
Left it behind.
