Document reveals the FBI labeled Project Veritas as “news media,” and categorized the probe as a “Sensitive Investigative Matter” due to Veritas being journalists. This is a direct contradiction of the U.S. government’s in-court position that Project Veritas are not journalists.
The whistleblower, who has several years of experience as an FBI Special Agent and is still on payroll with the Bureau, came to Project Veritas with the document after seeing what he calls “a number of troubling things that are happening in the FBI.”
The document also shows the federal investigation was launched into Project Veritas the same day Ashley Biden’s Attorney, Roberta Kaplan, said, “This is insane. We should send to SDNY” in response to a request for comment on the contents of Ashley Biden’s abandoned diary.
Additionally, the FBI categorized the investigation into a diary under Threat Band I, which is usually reserved for “threat issues that are likely to cause the greatest damage to national interests or public safety in the coming year.”
The Whistleblower also revealed how the document shows surveillance of Project Veritas included use of CAST tools, an analysis which includes cellular geolocation tracking of phone devices.
FBI Whistleblower: “Tyranny happens incrementally, and it happens by a bunch of people agreeing to small injustices over and over simply to keep their paycheck and their pension...to maintain your paycheck and pension that gives you the Holocaust”
[NEW YORK – May 11, 2022] A source within the Federal Bureau of Investigation has come forward to expose the FBI’s targeting of members of the “news media” including information about what the FBI calls a Special Investigative Matter (“SIM”) regarding their investigation into Project Veritas over Ashley Biden’s abandoned diary.
Play According to a document obtained and published by Project Veritas, the FBI opened an investigation into Project Veritas knowing full well they were journalists as the document is labeled under a “news media” classification. This classification is a direct contradiction to the government’s court filing where they argued that actions taken by the government to surveil, raid and seize materials from Project Veritas journalists were appropriate. The government’s filing stated, “Project Veritas is not engaged in journalism within any traditional or accepted definition of that word,” because its reporting is “non-consensual.”
The whistleblower, who has several years of experience as an FBI Special Agent, came to Project Veritas because, “The direction that the agency has headed troubles a vast majority of the agents.”
Something else the whistleblower called “alerting” was the fact that the FBI categorized the investigation into Ashley Biden’s diary under Threat Band I, which is usually reserved for “threat issues that are likely to cause the greatest damage to national interests or public safety in the coming year.”
The document, which lacks certain information due to the restricted classification of the file, also shows the investigation was launched the same day Ashley Biden’s Attorney, Roberta Kaplan, said, “This is insane. We should send to SDNY,” in response to a request for comment on the contents of Ashley Biden’s diary.
The FBI also used its Cellular Analysis Survey Team (CAST) tools, which includes cellular geolocation tracking of phone devices, to secretly surveil Project Veritas journalists, according to the whistleblower and as revealed on the leaked document.
The whistleblower, who is still on the Bureau’s payroll, sat down for an interview with Project Veritas CEO and Founder, James O’Keefe. “Tyranny happens incrementally, and it happens by a bunch of people agreeing to small injustices over and over simply to keep their paycheck and their pension,” said the whistleblower, adding, “To maintain your paycheck and pension that gives you the Holocaust.”.
At the time of this writing, the FBI has not yet responded to a request for comment.

May there be more whistleblowers……..let the exposure begin
Look very shortly for bureau lie detectors to start squiggling and heads to begin rolling.
Obama turned the FBI (all of DOJ) into the Left’s KGB.
The only people who will be charged with a crime will be the whistleblowers.
The FBI is now the Democrat Gestapo... Plain and simple.
Every instance of malfeasance is perfectly in line with the liberals ideology.
How else can you explain them constantly focusing on white right wing extremists when the left-wing maniacs are tearing the country apart right in front of our faces?
Garland is Biden’s personal lawyer and has a significant axe to grind against all establishment Republicans, especially Mitch McConnell who cost him his supreme Court seat.
America is so corrupt because of the entrenched Deep State that really rules over us peasants.
When was the last time the FBI actually investigated and prosecuted any criminals besides its own in government? It’s the world’s largest self feeding criminal enterprise.
Hannity’s .001% steps forward!
“Obama turned the FBI (all of DOJ) into the Left’s KGB.”
Bears repeating!
This must be the 1% of honest agents Hannity is always talking about.
I just watched this video about an hour ago on YouTube. I came across of it in the recommended first section prior to reading this thread on FR. I suspect it will not be on YouTube very long.
Hoover had an iron grip on the FBI ..and gestapo like tactics
The election coding is a big deal...IMO.
It annoys the heck out of me that he wears the FBI and CIA pins.
Maybe he is FBI/CIA.
In a video released yesterday James told some senate and congress people that he has gov't and federal LEO's who want to be whistle blowers but are now afraid to come out due to the illegal court proceedings regarding Project Veritas.
