James indicates this may have something to do with a copy of Ashley Biden's diary that was offered to Project Veritas. Supposedly the diary was misplaced and then found by a third party. Project Veritas could not confirm the diary's authenticity so they never ran a story on it and gave it to law enforcement to have it returned. (Why is the FBI investigating a lost diary?) Now they are...

"But to the extent that they want to have a fight, let's do it. You want to rumble, let's rumble. You...
