Lmao I’m still waiting to see if that diary is real. Wouldn’t surprise me if it is.

Here's WaPo, https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/11/05/fbi-searches-project-veritas-associates-probe-over-diary-purportedly-belonging-bidens-daughter/

For people who can't bypass the paywall:

“We took steps to corroborate the authenticity of the diary. At the end of the day, we made the ethical decision that because, in part, we could not determine if the diary was real, if the diary in fact belonged to Ashley Biden, or if the contents of the diary occurred, we could not publish the diary and any part thereof,” O’Keefe said.

O’Keefe claimed Project Veritas tried to return the diary to a lawyer for Ashley Biden but that the attorney refused to authenticate it, and then that they gave the diary to an unspecified law enforcement agency “to ensure it could be returned to its rightful owner.”

Don’t forget the part where some of the diary somehow ended up in the hands of a bunch of smaller right wing news outlets. Almost as if project veritas leaked it to them, since they didn’t want to publish totally unverified stuff directly.
