THREAD — America First Legal sued the National Archives to obtain the Burisma records from Biden’s time as VP.

As a result of that litigation, we obtained a trove of new docs from the archives directly linking Joe Biden to Hunter’s profiteering in Ukraine.

Follow along ⤵️
/2 Despite Joe Biden’s assertions that he had no involvement with Hunter’s appointment to Burisma, he signed off on the official statement in response to questions from reporters about whether Hunter’s position undermined the VP’s credibility in pushing anti-corruption measures. Image
/3 Eric D. Schwerin, Hunter’s associate at Rosemont Seneca Advisors, LLC, corrected typos in Vice President Biden’s official statement. Image
/4 The VP’s office connected reporters (who were writing about Hunter’s appointment to Burisma) to Amos Hochstein, the “point” person for International Energy Affairs at the U.S. Department of State, to provide a “unique and valuable perspective” on the relationships in Ukraine.
/5 Wall Street Journal journalist Paul Sonne reached out to the office of the Vice President regarding whether Hunter’s involvement with Zlochevsky at Burisma would undermine the Vice President’s message on Ukraine. Image
/6 Office of the Vice President connected the Wall Street Journal to Amos Hochstein.

Amos Hochstein is, according to Politico, “the most influential Joe Biden adviser that most people don’t know about.” According to Axios, he is “one of President Biden’s closest confidants.” Image
/7 According to @ChuckGrassley and @RonJohnsonWI committees’ staff report, then-U.S. Special Envoy and Coordinator for International Energy Affairs Amos Hochstein raised concerns with VP Biden and Hunter that Hunter’s position on Burisma’s board enabled Russian disinformation… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
/8 However, Hochstein testified to the committees that he did not recommend that Hunter leave Burisma’s board because he did not “believe that was my place to have that discussion, one way or the other.”
/9 Jim Risen, New York Times journalist, was also working on a story related to Vice President Biden’s trip to Ukraine and Hunter Biden’s role with Burisma Holdings and reached out to the Office of the Vice President. Image
/10 After providing him with the official statement signed off by Joe Biden, the Office of the Vice President recommended he speak with Amos Hochstein, “the State Department point on International Energy Affairs.” Image
/11 Instead of answering the question from the New York Times regarding whether Hunter had ever traveled with Vice President Biden to Ukraine, the Office of the Vice President urged the New York Times not to publish embarrassing details from Hunter’s record. Image
/12 The Office of the Vice President also worked hand in glove with Rosemont Seneca in response to press inquiries, including the story about Hunter Biden’s Ashley Madison account.
/13 Eric D. Schwerin, Hunter’s associate at Rosemont Seneca Advisors, LLC, fielded press inquiries on behalf of both Hunter and former President Kwasniewski, who were board members of Burisma, and coordinated with the Office of the Vice President. Image
/14 Inquiries about an Ashley Madison account registered with Hunter Biden’s email were fielded by official statements from both the Office of the Vice President and Rosemont Seneca Advisors, LLC. ImageImage
/15 The records include an email from then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie L. Yovanovitch to, among others, Victoria Nuland (currently the Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs) at the Department of State, Anna Makanju in VP Biden’s Office, and Eric Ciaramella – the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
/16 In an email prepared by a Ukranian public relations and political intelligence firm called “lbicompany,” Yovanovitch reported the following: Image
/17 Given the evidence that the VP Biden was signing off on statements concerning his son’s involvement with Burisma and that Obama officials were aware of Burisma’s alleged activities, it appears that former President Trump’s concerns about Biden family corruption were shared.
/18 The apparent failure of federal authorities to open or pursue appropriate criminal inquiries raises troubling concerns about the poisoning of our justice system with political agendas.
/19 These documents also take on heightened significance given escalating military conflict in Ukraine.

America First Legal will continue to release more documents as they are obtained as a result of our litigation.

/1🚨BREAKING: AFL SUES MARICOPA COUNTY TO STOP ILLEGAL ELECTION POWER GRAB🚨

Maricopa County is trying to unlawfully seize control of election operations in Arizona.

AFL just filed a lawsuit to stop this illegal election interference.

🧵👇 Image
/2 AFL filed the lawsuit against the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors on behalf of Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap.

The board is attempting to unlawfully seize control of election operations by refusing to give Recorder Heap the resources he needs to fulfill his statutory duty to administer elections.Image
/3 Arizona law requires the board to fully fund the recorder’s necessary expenses.

Despite this, the board recently passed a budget that permanently transfers the recorder’s key statutory duties to itself and underfunds the recorder’s office.

/1🚨UVA’s Board of Visitors voted to dismantle its DEI infrastructure.

Instead, UVA just rebranded.

When it failed to comply, DOJ demanded proof.

So AFL investigated — and found the truth:

Same people.
Same responsibilities.
Same agenda.
New titles.

We’ve got the receipts.🧵 Image
Image
/2 Christian West was UVA Darden’s “Senior Director of Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Recruiting.”

Now he’s the “Senior Director of Global Recruitment.”

Same bio.
Leverages the same DEI “partnerships.”
Same race-preferenced hiring practices. Image
Image
/3 Jannatul Pramanik was UVA’s “Associate Director, Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in the Office of Admissions.”

Now she’s “Associate Director, Global Recruitment.”

Her role didn’t change.
The discrimination didn’t disappear.
Only the label did. Image

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just sent a letter to DOJ exposing how the University of Virginia is disguising its discriminatory DEI infrastructure under a new lexicon of euphemisms to evade federal law.

The law is clear — and UVA is on notice.

DOJ is watching — and so are we.

🧵THREAD: Image
/2 On April 28, DOJ formally directed UVA to certify — “with precision and particularity” — that it had dismantled its discriminatory DEI programs to comply with federal civil rights law and President Trump’s Executive Orders.

UVA didn’t comply.

Instead, it formed a working group to “promote open inquiry” and build a “truly inclusive and welcoming community.”Image
/3 UVA has rebranded its discriminatory policies under new labels, using euphemisms like “Inclusive Excellence,” “Community Engagement,” and “Viewpoint Diversity.”

The names changed — but the substance didn’t.

“Inclusive Excellence” is the framework universities now use to disguise DEI — embedding unlawful preferences based on race, sex, national origin, and other protected traits into operations under the illusion of equity and belonging.Image

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just moved to intervene in a major lawsuit to overturn an unlawful, decades-old, and race-based consent decree — and restore merit-based hiring in the federal government. Image
/2 For 44 years, a race-based consent decree has prohibited the federal government from using a standardized, merit-based exam to hire civil servants.

This is unconstitutional — and it must be overturned.
/3 In 1981, during the final days of the Carter Administration, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) entered into the Luevano consent decree, ending the use of a standardized written aptitude test in federal hiring.

Since then, OPM has failed to identify any test that satisfies the decree’s race-based requirements.

🔥 Unelected judges with apparent political agendas are blocking President Trump’s policies with “nationwide injunctions.”

These activist judges are abusing the judicial power and usurping the will of the people to sabotage the President’s America First mandate.

Here’s how 🧵 Image
President Trump faced over 64 injunctions in his first term — more than any president in history.

Now, it’s happening again. 

This isn’t a normal judicial process — it’s a full-scale judicial power grab to thwart the results of a valid election. Image
Less than 4 months into the second Trump Administration, the judiciary has already issued over 200 orders to halt the President’s agenda — including nearly 40 nationwide injunctions.

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just filed a judicial complaint against Judge John McConnell, the federal judge blocking President Trump’s spending freeze.

He led a nonprofit set to gain millions from his ruling — a blatant conflict of interest and ethics violation.

He must be investigated. Image
/2 This complaint follows AFL’s explosive discovery that Judge McConnell continued to preside over a case despite a clear conflict of interest.

Now, AFL’s investigation has uncovered even more deeply concerning details…
/3 Judge McConnell is presiding over New York v. Trump, a lawsuit brought by 21 states and D.C. challenging President Trump’s temporary freeze on federal funding.

In February, he ordered taxpayer money to continue flowing to the states, including to Crossroads Rhode Island, where he served as a board member and board chairman over a span of nearly 20 years.Image
