/1🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨

We obtained new docs from the Brennan-Clapper DHS intel group revealing the Biden admin developed a classified plan to expand monitoring of political dissent.

#DeepStateDiaries PART 5:

/2 Today, we are releasing the fifth tranche of internal files from the “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group,” obtained exclusively through our litigation with @RichardGrenell against the Biden DHS:

/3 From the day President Biden took power, he has mobilized the national security state to support its censorship program…

/8 This classified plan has not been reported publicly until today.

No one in the general public knows what’s in it, what it directs departments and agencies to do, or the scope of agencies involved with it.

/9 This is not the first time AFL has discovered the Biden Administration using classified systems to target political dissent.
