According to Harmeet Dhillon, one of the lawyers for Project Veritas, the DOJ has filed in court to make Project Veritas pay for all of their expenses after they abused the process to embarrass James O’Keefe:
BREAKING Project Veritas news: after unconstitutional raid on regime critics, after leaking to @nytimes about their manufactured “investigation” & after judge orders special master to secure privilege, DOJ tries to impose 100% of $$$ on PV! Our 🔥response: https://t.co/A4kxDBfdrY

She sums up what the DOJ has done and is now doing with this new motion in this tweet:
See how they do?
* government targets critic
* concocts fake basis for armed raid
* tips off media lackeys to embarrass target
* brazenly ignores lawyer, donor, 1A privilege
* gets slapped by judge with third party oversight
* tries to shift cost of government abuses to victim!— Harmeet K. Dhillon (@pnjaban) January 17, 2022
3/ Now imagine you are NOT Project Veritas, you are Joe Citizen. You don’t have half a dozen indefatigable lawyers on speed dial. What happens to you?
The gross abuse of power by DOJ and FBI should concern all citizens. DOJ is not the secret police for Biden familia.

She’s right. If it were somebody like me I’d have been sunk a long time ago. Thank goodness O’Keefe has great representation.
