The Justice Department on Tuesday asked a New York district judge to sentence the woman who stole first daughter Ashley Biden’s diary to four to 10 months in prison for the crime.
Prosecutors for the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York had initially sought a sentence of six months of home confinement, followed by three years of supervised release, for Aimee Harris, who pleaded guilty in August of 2022 to conspiring to commit interstate transportation of stolen property in connection with the diary theft.
Harris has requested that her sentencing hearing date be moved 12 times, according to prosecutors, who argue that her excuses are an effort to “improperly delay” her punishment and merit a stiffer sentence.
“The defendant’s sentence must also account for the manner in which she has abused the administration of justice throughout the pendency of this court proceeding,” the filing by US Attorney Damian Williams to District Judge Laura Taylor Swain reads.
“The defendant has repeatedly and consistently engaged in tactics to improperly delay this proceeding, including by misleading the Court with false information to justify belated and unmerited requests for adjournments, refusing to appear when directed, and failing to comply with court orders to disclose or produce certain information,” the document states.
“Through this pattern of behavior, the defendant has shown a complete disregard for the Court’s orders and for the orderly administration of this…

Prison time?
1) At best it would be petty theft of something with a monetary value of about $5.
2) It wasn't stolen. Ashley Biden abandoned it. You can't charge someone for theft of an item they found after it was left behind
3) DOJ just confirmed it is real
@EnragedV0lunteerDemocrat2mos2MO
the twisted logic you guys have to do to justify theft of other people's property.
@AmusedSmeltLibertarian2mos2MO
Spaceballs The X Account@Grunt0313·5hI notice you glanced right over the part about how we just confirmed that the diary is real
The diary where Ashley says her father, Joe Biden, sexually abused her.
That should now be considered a fact in evidence because "believe all women".
Any comment there?
@EnragedV0lunteerDemocrat2mos2MO
Project Veritas themselves said they couldn't confirm the authenticity of the diary, which is hilarious.
Any comment there?
@AmusedSmeltLibertarian2mos2MO
Right. The Department of Justice just confirmed its authenticity today. (It can't be stolen from Ashley if it wasn't Ashley's)
So let's circle back to Ashley Biden accusing Joe Biden of sexual assault.
You didn't comment on that.

I do so fervently apologise, enlightened liberal, for my reactionary belief that people who steal a notebook shouldn't be locked in cages for extended periods of time. Do forgive my right wing zealotry.
@M1norityCodyRepublican2mos2MO
I don’t know much but I know this: They didn’t go after the diary lady for lying.
Which means the things in the diary are real.
Which means Joe Biden has a kiddie touching problem. And he’s had it for a very long time.
@SugaryEgalitarianRepublican2mos2MO
The best thing Biden could have done is ignore it, when it’s nothing and you ignore it it goes away. But he didn’t, so now the world will know

That's weird...so many people still claim the diary being Ashley's is fake news...but the DOJ is demanding prison time?
Make that make sense.
@DejectedFr33domPatriot2mos2MO
Since when is stealing a diary a federal crime?

"The American Civil Liberties Union and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press have both expressed skepticism about the propriety of the investigation into Project Veritas, and in particular the raid of O’Keefe’s home, warning of its press freedom implications. Press freedom advocates who differ with Project Veritas politically, and who are queasy about the deceptive tactics the group infamously deploys, have also voiced opposition to the raid.
“This is just beyond belief,” University of Minnesota law professor Jane Kirtley, a former executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, told Politico. “I’m not a big fan of Project Veritas, but this is just over the top. I hope they get a serious reprimand from the court because I think this is just wrong.”"
