Two Florida residents plead guilty to stealing and selling diary of Biden’s daughter
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- Two Florida residents pleaded guilty to stealing the diary of President Biden’s daughter and selling it to Project Veritas.
- Ashley Biden’s journal was stolen from her Florida home and was sold for $40,000.
- Project Veritas said it never published the journal, but a website called Flyover Media did.
Two people pleaded guilty on Thursday to stealing the diary of Ashley Biden, President Joe Biden’s daughter. They also admitted to selling the journal to conservative media organization Project Veritas in 2020.
Florida residents Aimee Harris and Robert Kurlander each pleaded guilty to “one count of a conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property from an immediate family member of a former government official who was running for national office,” the Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a press release.
Each of them faces a maximum of five years in prison.
“Harris and Kurlander sought to profit from their theft of another person’s personal property, and they now stand convicted of a federal felony as a result,” U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement.
The DOJ did not identify Project Veritas or the Biden family in court documents but reporting on the case has already identified them.
Harris stole Ashley Biden’s diary while she was temporarily staying at Biden’s Delray Beach home in September 2020. The journal contains “highly personal entries,” tax records, a cellphone, and family photos.
Harris, 40, contacted Kurlander, 58, to assist her in selling the stolen item.
New York-based Project Veritas paid Harris and Kurlander $20,000 each for Biden’s diary and other materials.
In November 2021, the DOJ raided two locations linked to Project Veritas and its founder, James O’Keefe.
Project Veritas said it never published the contents of the diary, but a website called Flyover Media did.
According to O’Keefe, he got the diary from tipsters who found it abandoned in a hotel room. He said did not publish it because he could not verify if it was authentic.
Project Veritas, an activist group that identifies itself as a news organization, has said it received the journal from “tipsters” who claimed it had been abandoned in a room. The organization said it turned the diary over to law enforcement and never did anything unlawful.
Project Veritas is popularly known for conducting sting operations that have embarrassed news outlets, labor organizations and Democratic politicians.

I believe she made references in this abandoned “diary” to “taking showers with her father that probably weren’t appropriate.” So yep CPO Bill it “does rat out the creepy pervert!” The “exerts” of the “diary” that were made public contained some really sick, degenerate activities being practiced in that family.

If it’s ‘stealing’ to take possession of ABANDONED items, then everyone who has ever won an auction for a storage unit is a thief.

It is my understanding that these people found the diary which was disposed of maybe by its former owner. Just like Hunter trashed his gun and laptop, oh , he sold the laptop to a pawn dealer. So these people actually stole it. I doubt that . the bidens at least the children seem to be careless with their stuff. \The left are doing the same to J6, telling them to sign a confession as it will be better for them. later they discover surprise, surprise, they were LIED to.

Unlike most of the bias propaganda MSM outlets who “never verify” anything at least we know Project Veritas does real Journalism and did not publish another Biden smuts’ diary. Project Veritas took a pause to at least find out if it was authentic? But the FBI did not fail to raid another conservatives “Home”! And the FBI wonders why “We the People” don’t trust them?

If somebody stole a diary from anyone else you would play hell to get police to give a shit. So they come up with a horse shit ploy to turn it into a felony. Just more one set of rules for you and a separate set for the elite.

Hmm. The feds are spending time and money persecuting these two people who found a thrown-away diary (that’s not even theft or possession of stolen property), but they can’t figure out who leaked the SCOTUS draft decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization… And they just don’t have the time to deal with Hunter Biden’s felonies of lying on his ATF 4473 form and possessing a gun. But I’ll bet they’re working overtime to hide the evidence of the criminal “business” dealings “Big Guy” Joe is involved with his perverted son.

You know the feds are doing exactly the very things you stated Fred and they will continue to totally ignore the Bidet family’s crimes and sinister misdeeds. As stated in one of the other comments “Rules For Thee But Not Me.” The destruction of Our once great country continues by Bidet the Buffoon and his socialist/communist, degenerate minions.

The truth hurts and the sick one’s are those that lie or try to cover up the fact we have an evil, compromised and corrupt POTUS and family in our WH. The sad part is they will sell their souls no matter what they say/do to destroy our country.

Hey old MORONIC head up your ass,
Sorry that as usual, you don’t know what your talking about. Go ahead and believe lies if the truth messes your mind so much!
It seems to mess so your mind so badly that you can’t even think or write in a manner that makes sense!

Dear “Just Listening” – apparently you have a massive ear-wax buildup. You are describing Biden and his family. Of course your “condition” may be complicated by an extreme case of stupidity. For openers, Biden is the one who is bowing to the Chinese, who has strangled our nation with cutting off our energy independence (can you remember gas prices under Trump) – can you remember electric costs 20 months ago; can you remember that there were no wars breaking out under Trump, can you remember the Abraham Peace Accord; can you remember low Unemployment (for all categories), can you remember when a dollar was worth more than it is today; and can you remember that for all the attacks made against Trump, none were true. Oh yeah, and can you remember the racist comments that were actually made by Biden?

Listening but not hearing, YOU are the one who is blinded by the truth. Biden cannot keep his hands off of children AND adult females including sniffing their hair, touching their breasts or what will become their breasts, and touching adult females’ rear ends and breasts! Biden is also the Documented “Big Guy” who gets his 10% from the unlawful deals that his son makes for access to the WH from Russia, China, and who knows where else! His son and brothers are both involved in these deals up to their eyebrows! His son Hunter immediately went after his dead brothers widow and who knows what Biden Sr. did for her? Hunter is also videotaped with hookers and snorting Cocaine up his nose. When all this came out suddenly it was Trump that the Democrats claimed was with Russian prostitutes, I guess they wanted to get ahead of this revelation by blaming this all on Trump. Others have pointed out all the wonderful and great things President Trump did for the United States all without taking a salary and actually LOST some of his personal wealth while in the WH. Trump has been attacked since even before he became President by the Democrats and the MSM and NOTHING has ever been proven. No telling what they will claim and plant into what they took from his home by the FBI on claims by “Unknown” sources. Why haven’t the FBI even looked closer at Hunters’ laptop that they have in their possession? Why have they not raided Clinton’s home for the documents they have even after they caught one of his Aides trying to sneak out of the WH with highly classified Documents and blew it off as poor housekeeping, How about Obamas documents he has at his home? More importantly why have they not charged Hillary with having her own classified email server hidden in a closet and when they politely subpoenaed those records, she had those 33,000 emails destroyed and bleached bit her hard drives so they could not read them? That is destruction of evidence!

You don’t even need a diary of his daughter to plainly see Joe Biden has pedophilia tendencies. He can’t seem to keep his hands and face off of others little children much less other men’s wifes!! A secret service agent years ago was reassigned for nearly beating Bidens ass after already telling him to keep his hands off his dates behind. He isn’t all there topside in many aspects.

Never in the history of our Great Nation has there been such a worthless bunch of scum as the Democrats. When I was just a youngster back in the 1930s, there were vigilantes that wiped out dishonest politicians, judges, law enforcement personnel, and any other scum who corrupt. Perhaps what the USA needs now is a vigilante force to once again clean out the scum who call themselves Democrats. Hanging is far too easy of punishment for the scum who call themselves Democrats; firing squads would mean spending money for bullets to kill the worthless bastards. Perhaps the ideal solution to getting rid of the Democrats who are up to their foreheads or foreskins – whichever you prefer to say – would be to fill their dishonest, corrupt, lying masses with a fast, permanent relocation to China. Biden and his family would feel quite at home in China, since they are well paid to do whatever the Chinese want them to do. Almost all of the millionaires and billionaires who are, by some quirk of fate, regarded as U.S. citizens, have sunk deep into the cesspool of the world. Many of those “citizens” are no more than maggots, wallowing in feces. The dishonest, unlawful, members of our Justice and law enforcement agencies deserve nothing less than to be indicted, tried, found guilty, and imprisoned for life without a chance of parole. That would be just punishment for their acts of treason. A more appropriate name for the Democrat Party would be the Foremost Fecal Party of the USA, and the proper symbol would be two turds in a punchbowl. Zuckerberg could provide the funds for the punchbowl – after he pulls his head out of it.
