DOJ Double Standards

By Dr. Rich Swier

Here’s a story about Hypocrisy and Duplicity: I lawfully received a copy of Joe Biden’s 40 year old daughter’s diary. In it, she alleged horrible things about her father, then a candidate for president of the United States. I didn’t publish the diary or any story about it.

Nevertheless, for a year a cowardly federal prosecutor in New York named Robert Sobelman secretly stole my emails, spied on my media company, and appears to have lied to federal judges to obtain secret covert spying orders.

He then appears to have lied again to federal judges to get a search warrant to invade my home and seize my First Amendment-protected reporter’s notes and source information.

Yesterday, Politico’s Josh Gerstein received a stolen copy of a draft U.S. Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade and published it — and yet he sleeps well in his own bed tonight, with no fear of being rousted at 6AM by short, loud, thuggish FBI agents as I was, and handcuffed.

It is right that he not fear prosecution. It is wrong that we must.

Welcome to America in 2022.

No morning search warrant raids at Politico’s office. No Josh Gerstein in handcuffs, as with Project Veritas pic.twitter.com/hX08yZI475

OPINION: If @TheJusticeDept & @FBI Don’t Raid The Offices & Homes Of @politico & Their Reporters To Uncover The Name Of The #SupremeCourt Leaker, Then There Is Not Equal Justice Under The Law!

They Raided #ProjectVeritas Offices & Their Reporters Homes Over A Biden Diary! pic.twitter.com/CsBJIToLuL

If Project Veritas “broke” the Supremes story—not Politico—all their offices would have already been raided, journos would be in custody, all phones & computers would be seized by FBI.

Instead, Politico’s reporter is doing interviews, and it’s hailed as “the story of a lifetime”

Will they raid the homes of Politico journalists or is that only reserved for #projectveritas? Maybe they’ll collect more than 220,000 emails related to this incident through secret surveillance as well. https://t.co/PpMaVy6RJt

The American people want to know why rules apply differently to Project Veritas journalists.

Do we live in a country with equal justice under the law?

Without accountability from the DOJ, your freedom is an illusion.

What if it turns out Sotomayor leaked this? Or one of her clerks did with her permission? Then we have a chance for a two-fer: Get rid of Sotomayor, and get rid of Roe. There could be a big bright upside to this! #Scotus #abortion
