          Gal definitely feels the need to breed.

          Imagine if this had been one of Kavanaugh's kids (assuming they were older).

            And another thing...

            Since when does the FBI have the jurisdiction for this kind of a raid? This was an intimidation and send a message mission.

              Since they went looking for Hunter Biden's pistol.

              Take the optics out of it for a second, and just look at the facts, "FBI raids journalism site for missing diary."

              Did they raid the NYT which got advance notice of the grand jury findings? Why no, they didn't.

                  Turley: FBI Raids Project Veritas...Over a Missing Biden Diary?

                  Project Veritas has been described variously as “Gonzo” or “guerilla” journalism and some insist it is more of a political than a press organization. However, it fits the definition of journalism, in my view, and that makes the raids troubling. All the more troubling is the cause: the missing diary of President Biden’s daughter Ashley.

                  The New York Times reported that the FBI searched two locations in New York in search of the “stolen” diary that went missing days before the 2020 presidential election. Project founder James O’Keefe questioned how the Times received the story within an hour of the first raid.

                  The use of the FBI is also reminiscent of the still unexplained use of the FBI when Joe Biden was Vice President to search for a gun discarded by Hunter Biden behind a restaurant.

                  Project Veritas decided not to run the story because it could not verify that the diary belonged to Biden. (The FBI may have just offered that confirmation). Instead, it alerted the police, according to O’Keefe: “Project Veritas gave the diary to law enforcement to ensure it could be returned to its rightful owner. We never published it.”

                  So why the raids? Since when does the FBI conducted raids over missing diaries?

                  The FBI can cite the interstate elements of the alleged theft as raising a federal crime. However, what is the crime? It is not clear if they are suggesting that the responsible parties were seeking to sell the diary or that there was some national security element (which would be bizarre since Biden’s daughter was writing before her father ever became president).

                  Journalist organizations are routinely given material removed from businesses, agencies, or private owners without permission by confidential sources. If this is a federal crime subject to FBI raids, what happened to the new media policies of the Biden Administration after the Tucker Carlson controversy?

                  There are a host of unanswered questions. Here are five to start with:

                  1. What was the context for the diary’s loss? (Did Ashley Biden leave the diary in a room or was it stolen?)
                  2. What is the alleged federal crime (and what is the precedent for a major federal investigation over such an alleged theft)?
                  3. What precautions were taken by the Biden Administration in light of the claimed media status of the targeted individuals?
                  4. Why was there a delay in this action being taken if the alleged theft occurred a year ago?
                  5. Has this matter been under investigation for a year and did the White House request the intervention of the FBI?

                    Lastly...A journalist has never been held legally liable for a stolen document that he received, as long as he wasn't the one that stole it.

                      Another raid:

                      https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/06/us/politics/james-okeefe-project-veritas-ashley-biden.html

                      Federal authorities on Saturday searched the home of James O’Keefe, the founder of the conservative group Project Veritas, according to witnesses and people briefed on the matter.

                      Jimmy Maynes, who lives next to Mr. O’Keefe at an apartment complex in Mamaroneck, said a handful of F.B.I. agents arrived early Saturday morning.

                      “They asked for James,” Mr. Mayne, an entertainment manager, said. “I thought they were banging on my door. I opened the door.”

                      “They told me to close the door and I closed the door,” he added. “That’s exactly what happened. It was still dark.”

                      Mr. Maynes…said the F.B.I. agents were at the apartment for several hours.

                      For a diary.

                      A diary.

                      I'd love to see the warrant. This is banana republic stuff.

                              Looks like this answers the question of whether this was indeed her diary.

                                The RWEC answers your question:

                                In light of Merrick Garland’s “domestic terrorism” claim with school-board strife, the latter seems most apposite. It sure seems awwwwfuuuuullllyyy convenient that this investigation just so happened to target an organization that has been a gadfly to this president’s party and progressive allies. And that’s even more troubling since Project Veritas never used the material in the first place....

                                I’m old enough to recall when the media hyperventilated about “the politicization of the Department of Justice” during the leadership of Attorneys General Jeff Sessions and William Barr. Now that the DoJ is raiding media outlets over dumb scoops that they never actually ran, the silence of the media solons is deafening … and indicting as to their own politicization.

                                  So, here's a question:

                                  Back in whenever, Rachel Maddow proudly displayed Trump's tax returns on her show, and boasted that they show he paid no taxes.

                                  How did she get them?

                                  Was her home raided in search of clearly illegally obtained information? Is this as serious as a missing diary? Where was the FBI?

                                    While I'm no fan of MadDog, as I understand it, it's not illegal for her to possess the tax returns, as long as SHE was not the one who stole them. It IS illegal for the person that actually obtained them.

                                    And she is not going to out her source.

                                      So, here's a question:
                                      Back in whenever, Rachel Maddow proudly displayed Trump's tax returns on her show, and boasted that they show he paid no taxes.
                                      How did she get them?
                                      Was her home raided in search of clearly illegally obtained information? Is this as serious as a missing diary? Where was the FBI?

                                      While I'm no fan of MadDog, as I understand it, it's not illegal for her to possess the tax returns, as long as SHE was not the one who stole them. It IS illegal for the person that actually obtained them.

                                      And she is not going to out her source.

                                      That's correct. But, in the context of James O'Keefe, why wasn't her place raided?

                                      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                        Well.... we all know the answer to that one.

                                        Double standard.

                                          It's almost as though the FBI had morphed into the Praetorian Guard.
