(AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais, File) As RedState reported previously, Project Veritas is embroiled in an ongoing defamation lawsuit against the New York Times. But while a media company suing another one wasn’t initially major news, that changed after the FBI raided the homes of several Project Veritas members, including its founder, James O’Keefe .
The stated reason for the warrants was to collect evidence regarding Ashley Biden’s diary, which Project Veritas legally obtained. That has become its own massive scandal , with the FBI being used like Joe Biden’s political protection wing.
Regardless, shortly after the raids happened, privileged memos between Project Veritas and its lawyers were leaked by the DOJ or FBI to the Times in an obvious attempt to sabotage the lawsuit and further harm O’Keefe’s operation.
The judge in the case demanded answers , and he apparently wasn’t happy with the ones he received. A decision came down today that represents an absolute beat down of the Times’ arguments and includes an order for them to destroy all the memos in their possession — most of which haven’t been published yet.
Here’s Jared Ede, the Chief Legal Officer for Project Veritas, breaking down the ruling. How did NYT obtain the memos? Poss. “improper means” : “The Times incredibly admitted that here ‘no apparent bribery was used to obtain the memoranda.’ … [PV] has met its burden of showing [the memos] were obtained by irregular means, if not both irregular and improper means.” — Jered Ede (Project Veritas Chief Legal Officer) (@Jtaylorede) December 24, 2021 The Times/corp. media argued prior restraint. Wrong. “The Times is perfectly free to investigate, … publish, opine, expose or ignore whatever aspects of Project Veritas its editors in their sole discretion deem newsworthy, without utilizing [PV’s a/c] privileged memoranda.” — Jered Ede (Project Veritas Chief Legal […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
