The Justice Department on Thursday announced the guilty pleas of a woman and man in the FBI’s investigation into the theft of a highly personal diary and other items from Ashley Biden, the president’s daughter. The defendants have agreed to cooperate in the continuing probe, in which the major target is clearly Project Veritas (PV), the organization run by James O’Keefe, which does undercover investigative reporting that targets the media-Democrat complex.

The criminal information to which the defendants pled guilty alleges that people connected to Project Veritas (labeled “the Organization” in the charging document) knowingly abetted the theft of Ms. Biden’s property.
