/1🚨EXPLOSIVE — Unsealed docs reveal just how intimately the Biden White House worked with NARA to trigger the Special Counsel classified docs investigation of President Trump.
This confirms our own research that this prosecution is politically tainted and should be dismissed:
/2 Topline: The Biden White House blatantly violated the law to advance a political agenda. Not in some benign way, but overtly illegal and deliberate.
Just a few examples that will be part of a much more comprehensive analysis from AFL in the near future:
/3 An FBI document from February 18, 2022, reveals clear political taint. DOJ Associate Deputy Attorney General Emily Loeb and Associate Deputy Attorney General David Newman are politicals who both served in the Obama White House Counsel’s Office. The NARA Inspector General has no authority to recover records as its authority is limited to reviewing the operations of NARA itself.
/4 On August 30, 2021, Archivist of the United States, David Ferriero, sent an email titled “NARA documents” to a redacted non-governmental Gmail account stating “At this point, I am assuming that they have been destroyed. In which case, I am obligated to report it to the Hill, DOJ, and the White House.”
This is patently incorrect, as 44 USC 2203(e) applies only to proposed dispositions. Ferriero is referring to laws that apply ONLY to federal, NOT presidential records.
/5 An email from NARA General Counsel Gary Stern to White House staffer Jonathan Su on September 30, 2021 reveals that Biden’s White House was “ready to set up a call to discuss the Trump boxes.”
This is clear political taint. The incumbent White House lacks the authority concerning the former President’s disposition of his presidential records.
/6 In a letter to the Chief Counterintelligence and Export Control Section Jay Bratt, it is revealed that the Biden Administration falsely suggested that NARA should produce President Trump’s records to the White House because the Biden White House needed those records for its current business.
/7 In a November 22, 2022 letter to Gary Stern from the Counterintelligence Division of the FBI, the FBI notes that it “requests the assistance of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to provide the FBI access to the following information:”
/8 The FBI goes on to list several pieces of information regarding the handling of Presidential records of President Trump. Notably, this request was placed after the August 8th raid of Mar-a-Lago. NARA has, and had at the time, no authority to provide these documents to the FBI.
/9 A document from May 7, 2023, notes that DOJ Assistant Special Counsel Jay Bratt met with NARA General Counsel Gary Stern at NARA where “Stern provided approximately 81 unclassified documents responsive to Grand Jury Subpoena 42-0064, which referenced declassified. Upon further review, 15 documents were flagged of interest for potential production by NARA to DOJ.
/10 Another document from the FBI reveals that White House Counsel was part of a meeting with the FBI and Special Counsel Jay Bratt.
This is explosive evidence that Biden’s White House Counsel was part of the prosecution team against President Trump.
