Privacy matters.
Had they not cooperated with the feds, they would have gotten a five year bid.

Two Floridians are going to federal time out. They tried to pawn off a private journal from the daughter of a U.S. political candidate in an attempt to help an embattled incumbent president win. 

The U.S. Justice Department arrested these two and they were found guilty.

A conservative activist group was forced out of business because of it. It's founder is under federal watch and his impact in the 2024 election has waned.

Aimee Harris, 41 a former prostitute was sentenced to one month in federal time out. Harris and Robert Kurlander, 59 stole personal property from Ashley Biden. They engaged with Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon and James O'Keefe to publicly release a journal belonging to Ashley. 

Harris pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge in August 2022, admitting that she received $20,000 of the $40,000 that was paid by Project Veritas for personal items belonging to the president’s daughter.

Project Veritas was trying to exploit the journal through leaks. It led to the FBI raiding O'Keefe's home as well as several of his employees. O'Keefe was forced out of Project Veritas in 2023. His former partner Hannah Giles took over but left shortly after. Giles is cooperating with the feds on how Project Veritas raised it money and its tactics.

Harris who was staying in an Airbnb found property belonging to Ashley.

Harris contacted a friend who was a staunch supporter of Donald J. Trump. Kurlander thought it would make a huge payday for the both of them. 

A tearful Harris apologized for enabling Ashley Biden’s private writings to be sold after she found the diary and other items at a friend’s Delray Beach, Florida, home in 2020, where prosecutors said Ashley Biden believed her items were safely stored after she temporarily stayed there in spring 2020.

You got to pay for your crimes.

“I do not believe I am above the law,” Harris said after a prosecutor urged a prison sentence following her failure to appear at numerous sentencing dates on the grounds that she was consumed with caring for her two children, ages 8 and 6.

“I’m a survivor of long term domestic abuse and sexual trauma,” she told the judge.

Kurlander, who has not yet been sentenced, and Harris, had each pleaded guilty to conspiracy to transport stolen property across state lines.

Defense attorney Anthony Cecutti urged no prison time, citing his client’s traumatic life and her efforts to care for her children while recovering from abuse and violence.

“She carries the shame and stigma of her actions,” he said.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Sobelman urged a prison sentence, saying Harris had exhibited a “pattern of disrespect for the law and the justice system.”

“Ms. Harris is not the victim in this case,” Sobelman said. “Ms. Biden is the victim in this case.”

You can't break us.

He said Harris in the summer of 2020 had stolen Ashley Biden’s diary, a digital storage card, books, clothing, luggage and “everything she could get her hands on” in the hopes she “could make as much money as she could.”

“She wanted to damage Ms. Biden’s father,” he said.

Harris was told to report to prison in July. As she left the courthouse, she declined to speak.

The lawyer for Ashley Biden also declined to comment, though he submitted a letter to the judge on his client’s behalf a day earlier that was not immediately put in the court record.

President Joe Biden and First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden have one daughter together.

Ashley Biden, 42 is a social worker, fashion designer and activist. She and half brother Hunter Biden [Robert] are the only surviving children of the president. Beau Biden [Joesph R. Biden III] died in 2015 and Naomi died in a car crash as an infant. Neillia Biden, the president's first wife died weeks after he was elected as a U.S. Senator.

She only sorry she got caught.

Biden, 81 is the 46th President of the United States. He is the oldest elected. He is seeking a second term. His opponent is 77 year old Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States. Other threat is 70 year old Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Biden faces an uphill climb. With Trump and Republicans motivated by revenge, culture wars and threats of civil war, Democrats need to be united.

Biden's support for Israel is hurting his chances. Democrats want an immediate ceasefire while progressives want an end to military aid for Israel. He is juggling through his support of a regime causing a genocide and a foreign adversary like Russia trying to invade NATO allies with a war in non member Ukraine.

Republicans are using every trick in their dusty playbook to undermine Biden. 

The House of Representatives ain't doing much with Republican leadership. They are too busy blaming Biden for everything but not doing a damn thing themselves. 

With the election coming, it is important to ignore the noise. I am frustrated with Biden on issues like Israel, the job market and inflation. I hate working two jobs and working check to check. However, with Trump back in, the possibility of a civil war, more chaos and less freedoms. 

Trump isn't a man of peace. He vows to repeat Jan. 6 if he doesn't win the election. 

Voting for Biden is reluctant but a necessary way to end the noise of MAGA. It will stop folks like Aimee Harris and Robert Kurlander from exploiting fear and chaos.
