WorldNetDaily has had a creepy fixation on Ashley Biden’s alleged diary, rifling through it for lurid claims and largely pretending it wasn’t stolen. Bob Unruh created a weirdly revisionist spin on the latest in the story, bizarrely blaming the Biden family for getting others involved with it in an April 4 article:
The Joe Biden Department of Justice is demanding jail time for another defendant who was caught up a Biden family scandal – that of diary revelations about Joe Biden “showering” with his young daughter, in a “probably not appropriate” scenario.
It’s just one of the many scandals embroiling the Biden family, from a scheme to peddle influence to foreign enemies to a failure to pay taxes to an apparent lie on a federal form required to purchase a handgun.
Congress is investigating a wide range of these allegations now, in hearings that could result in a recommendation to impeach Biden.
Now a report in Twitchy reveals Joe Biden’s DOJ is sounding off in a case against a woman who took a diary that once belonged to Biden daughter Ashley.
At issue is a case involving Aimee Harris, who sold the diary at the time.
Unruh is lying. That diary didn’t “once belong” to Ashley Biden — it has always belonged to her. And he refused to admit that Harris stole the diary. Here’s what actually happened, according to a more credible news outlet:
Ashley Biden had been living at a friend’s house in Delray Beach, Florida in 2020, but left a number of personal belongings behind when she moved out in June of that year, prosecutors said. The owner of the home allowed her to keep the items at the house.
According to federal prosecutors, Harris moved into the room when Biden left, discovered the items and conspired with another defendant, Robert Kurlander, to sell them. At first, they offered the materials to the Trump campaign, which declined. Then they decided to sell the items to far-right activist group Project Veritas.
Harris and Kurlander pleaded guilty in August 2022 to a conspiracy charge, admitting they received $20,000 that was paid by Project Veritas.
Still, Unruh insisted that the diary was “abandoned,” then served up more misleading takes:
The diary actually was left behind in a rental when Ashley Biden departed, and it reached the level of yet another scandal for the Bidens when the woman sold it to an investigative news outlet.
It featured prominently, then, in a SWAT-style raid of the home belonging to James O’Keefe, now of the O’Keefe Media Group. He was working then with Project Veritas, and the organization had turned the diary over to authorities when it obtained access.
In short: Harris stole the diary and made some nice money selling it to James O’Keefe. O’Keefe was raided because he helped fence stolen property. Unruh is hiding Harris’ criminality — to which she has already pleaded guilty — and is appalled that she is being held accountable for her criminal behavior, falsely portraying it as a political vendetta.
A few days later, Harris was sentenced to a month in prison. Unruh and WND were silent about that. Narrative comes before truth, after all.
