Criminal prosecutors may soon get to see over 900 documents pertaining to the alleged theft of a diary belonging to President Joe Biden’s daughter after a judge rejected the conservative group Project Veritas’ First Amendment claim.

Attorney Jeffrey Lichtman said on behalf of the nonprofit Monday that attorneys are considering appealing last Thursday’s ruling by U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres in Manhattan. In the written decision, the judge said the documents can be given to investigators by Jan. 5.

The documents were produced from raids that were authorized in November 2021. Electronic devices were also seized from the residences of three members of Project Veritas, including two mobile phones from the home of James O’Keefe, the group’s since-fired founder.

Project Veritas, founded in 2010, identifies itself as a news organization. It is best known for conducting hidden camera stings that have embarrassed news outlets, labor organizations and Democratic politicians.

    Fuck these salacious voyeurs. Seriously. When trump was in office people and went after his son Barron it was usually swiftly met with admonishment to leave the kid alone, even from the Left.

    But republicans? No problem at all with constantly going at Biden’s kids, like digging up dick pics from Hunter.

    Same with Chelsea Clinton, or Obama’s girls when he was in office. Par for the course I guess, republicans can’t keep their hands off children.
