Project Veritas

James O'keefe is a conservative journalist who heads a group called Project Veritas. They specialize in secretly recording activities in groups or businesses. In some of their more sensational projects they uncovered Planned Parenthood selling fetal parts and ACORN employees offering illegal advice. Late last year tipsters approached O'keefe saying they had the diary of Ashley Biden and it contained explosive allegations about her father Joe Biden. O'Keefe did not publish the information and turned the diary over to the authorities. This past week the FBI raided the home of O'Keefe as part of an investigation into a stolen diary. The NY Times reported the raid took place early Saturday morning just days after the homes of two Project Veritas associates were also the subject of search warrants. Two questions immediately come up. First how did the Times find out so much about this so quickly and second what is the FBI doing investigating the theft of a diary. O'Keefe claims that the agents took material not directly connected to the diary and that the Times reported some of this material. This follows on the heels of last February when Twitter permanently suspended Veritas account because they published private information.
