“The Times wants to reserve to itself the authority to determine which highly classified information is to be exposed to the enemies of the United States. I don’t.”
The New York Times supports the efforts of the government to get James O’Keefe and Project Veritas in the case of Ashley Biden’s diary. Reporters including Michael Schmidt and Adam Goldman are working as the public relations arm of the Biden administration and the national security establishment to nail them.
It turns out that the FBI and SDNY prosecutors have been working the case for a long time. They have had Project Veritas under incredibly intrusive surveillance for over a year. No charges have yet emerged. If Project Veritas crossed over the line between lawful and unlawful activity in its work on the diary, the line must be a little blurry. The Times gleefully supports the national security establishment in its treatment of Project Veritas. I find the treatment chilling.
I thought it might be interesting to take a walk down memory lane — a little ancient history, all the way back to 2019 — when the Times was greatly alarmed by the superseding indictment bringing 17 charges under the Espionage Act against Julian Assange.
