In case you don't recall who Barbara Jones is.
When Project Veritas got raided by the FBI over the Ashley Biden diary, they seized the phones of James O'Keefe and his journalists, along with a lot of documents that were clearly attorney/client privileged.
Some anonymous goon inside the diary investigation then began leaking PV internal memos from their legal counsel to...The New York Times.
Which eagerly began publishing some of them.
O'Keefe filed for a Special Master to be appointed to step in and handle the matter.
That Special Master appointed by the federal judge was Barbara Jones.
In short order, Jones ripped the DOJ/FBI and the NYT's a new one by
1. Ordering an investigation into the leak of of a/c privileged documents to a media outlet
2. Ordering the NYT's to take down what it had already published from the a/c communications and forbid them from publishing any further such comms
The NYT's screamed, cried, begged, filed furious counter motions and in the end...lost.
It was a big victory for O'Keefe and Project Veritas.
It's been months and thus far the only criminal charges resulting from the raid of Project Veritas are those of the actual targets of the investigation which - SURPRISE! - turned out to not be James O'Keefe and Project Veritas.
PV had evidence the FBI needed to make it's case against the people who supposedly 'stole' the Ashley Biden diary, illegally transported it and then tried to profit from the sale of it to various media outlets.
