I don't follow politics that closely anymore so I don't know what journalist you're talking about. I know some of Trump's coup plotters are being investigated, and they should be. In a world where Trump's attempted coup doesn't result in political consequences, if the DOJ can enact legal ones, I'm all for it.
Before the election, Project Veritas received a copy of Ashley Biden's journal from someone who had rented a property she left it at. Rather than post it to the internet, they first verified its authenticity by checking with Ashley Biden, then decided
not to publish it, both figuring it wasn't newsworthy and that it might actually help Biden by backfiring and stirring up sympathy. But we did learn it was real. After the election, Merrick Garland ordered an FBI raid of Project Veritas where they broke into the journalists home in the middle of the night with battering rams and automatic weapons, and seized all their electronic devices. The FBI tipped off the New York Times, who PV were in a lawsuit against. The FBI then immediately- same night- leaked all the emails and confidential sources to the NYT, including attorney-client communications in their lawsuit against the NYT. There was no accusation of a real crime. They initially claimed it was 'receiving stolen property', like a journalist receiving a leak is a criminal that needs to be raided at the risk of being shot
Thats just the tip of Merrick Garlands iceberg. He raided economist Peter Navarro's home. He raided another Trump lawyer last week. Its not a joke when I'm predicting he'll raid the home of Clarence and Ginni Thomas, I give it 20%+ odds
