Ironically you claim you don't defend such people on another thread that I just responded to.

 

And in 'Current Events' but s/b in beliefs at best and conspiracy at worst.

 

I'd like to see a scintilla of proof instead of the suspects lawyer gumming her chops....

 

cause the right hates law and order? wants to defund the police?

 

anyone have a link to the leaked memo?

 

Plus, after the ridiculous responses in my Purple Heart thread, they aren't that big on our troops either...

Probably because the police and the military are the 2 primary blocks to their ultimate political goals...

 

yep, Bone Spur Trump thinks they are 'Losers' and 'Suckers'
and he took one of their purple hearts, said he always wanted one

 

Except the times got the doc from fox news apparently

 

No. Now prove that it happened. With actual EVIDENCE.

You righties keep getting hung up on that one point. You agree with, for example, unsupported opinions from Dirty Donnie and his crowd of sycophants and you are shocked when asked to produce EVIDENCE.

 

I take it you are OK with it since it happened all through Trumps presidency.

 

The DOJ/FBI leaked confidential info all through Dirty Donnie’s presidency ?
Really ? Examples ?

You can prove this ?
What am I saying, of course you can’t.

 

And the CIA too. I take it you support a police state.

 

Get back to me with proof and we can discuss this further.

 

It's information leaked from the FBI investigation to the NYT what has to be proven to you. The NYT was given a heads up on the searches. Read the OP.

Are you OK with that happening?

 

Tim Pool on fire...

 

I'm open
How did the NY Times know of the pre-dawn raids? How did the New York Times get and publish Attorney Client privileged information seized by the FBI. Only the lawyer and O'Keefe knew of this information. How did the NY Times get it?

As former US Attorney Andrew McCarthy writes

"To the contrary, the FBI grabbed extensive PV work product and attorney-client communications.

Thus does the Times report today:

Project Veritas has long occupied a gray area between investigative journalism and political spying, and internal documents obtained by The New York Times reveal the extent to which the group has worked with its lawyers to gauge how far its deceptive reporting practices can go before running afoul of federal laws.

The documents, a series of memos written by the group’s lawyer, detail ways for Project Veritas sting operations — which typically diverge from standard journalistic practice by employing people who mask their real identities or create fake ones to infiltrate target organizations — to avoid breaking federal statutes such as the law against lying to government officials.

Two of the Times’ A-team national reporters, Adam Goldman and Mark Mazzetti, then elaborate in detail on advice that PV has received from its lawyer, in connection with PV investigations going back for years. In the main, the advice is what you’d expect: How to navigate the perils of collecting information through ethically questionable tactics that skate along the razor’s edge between the legitimate and the lawless — something you’d be right to suppose that the Times knows a thing or two about.

Significantly, what has been leaked to the Times, and what the Times has editorially chosen to publish, is not confined to the Ashley Biden–diary investigation. The Times is heedless of Project Veritas’s right to counsel and to the constitutionally based confidentiality of its attorney-client communications. Given how the Times would react were the shoe on the other foot, which is hardly inconceivable, this is shocking. Not surprisingly, SDNY judge Analisa Torres, the Obama appointee who issued the search warrants, has now abruptly ordered the government to stop extracting materials from the PV operatives’ digital files. Plainly, the Justice Department is running roughshod over PV’s right to counsel.

I can only assume the Gray Lady’s judgment is skewed. It is not so much reporting a newsworthy story as exploiting the opportunity for full-bore scrutiny of PV as a journalistic enterprise. And scrutiny with barely disguised disdain: Because of PV’s political motivations, which the Left finds noxious — which, in fact, have resulted in prominent progressive figures and institutions being targeted, sometimes to their humiliation — PV operatives are somehow unworthy of being regarded as reporters, presumed to enjoy constitutionally driven deference from government investigators.

Judge Torres should be infuriated by the leaks to the Times. And she should do more than merely fulminate.

The judge should order the SDNY’s Biden-appointed U.S. attorney, Damian Williams, to provide the court, immediately, with affidavits detailing communications with the media from every prosecutor, FBI agent, and support staffer who is either involved in the investigation or has had access to the items seized from the current or former PV officials. Judge Torres should ask that Attorney General Merrick Garland immediately refer the matter to Justice Department inspector general Michael Horowitz for a thorough investigation of how the search-warrant information came to be transmitted to the Times.

Garland and Horowitz should announce that the Justice Department will conduct the investigation requested by the court, and Horowitz should be given the affidavits so his office can hit the ground running. Judge Torres should ask for periodic updates to stress to the Justice Department and FBI that the court is troubled by the government’s apparently pretextual exploitation of coercive judicial processes in order to fuel media coverage. That coverage has imperiled the constitutional rights of PV members to freedom of the press, due process, privacy, and assistance of counsel."

Let's get started.

 

"Fight fire with fire."

One hardly knows where to begin with this, but if you think the FBI raiding Veritas on behalf of the President's daughter, stealing all matter of legal communication, and then leaking legal communication to the New York Times, which is in a lawsuit against Veritas, is alls fair, than I can't imagine what type of system you are actually in favor of except maybe some sort of East Germany style dictatorship.

 

This incident (and others) does seem to prove that the FBI is unreformable and needs to be disbanded, but if you think the Republicans are going to do that when they get back in power, you are sorely mistaken. They will do nothing until they are thrown out of office again.

 

Persons in denial of facts cannot be reasoned with. They ignore facts that contradict their world view.

 

I'm amazed at some of the responses you folks attempt. Everyone knows where the "defund the police" craze came from.

WHEN THE LEFT GAINS CONTROL: Third University of Chicago affiliate killed amidst calls to disarm cops.

Remember the "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" lie?

 

Except the times says they got it from fox.

 

It wasn’t leaked to the times. It was leaked to fox.

 

I've read a few articles about this and have not come across that tidbit. Source?

Heh, that has nothing to do with what I was taking about, which is the topic of this thread, "FBI alleged to have leaked Project Veritas legal memos to New York Times for 'hit piece'"

OK you've down your usual attempt to derail the topic. I'm sure your masters will give you the appropriate pat on the head.
