/1 🚨THREAD — records obtained from our investigation into the circumstances surrounding the Mar-a-Lago raid further confirm that the FBI obtained access to these records through a “special access request” from the Biden White House on behalf of the DOJ.

https://t.co/O9fne5qRD1aflegal.org/america-first-…


/2 On August 8, 2022, the FBI conducted an unprecedented raid of Mar-a-Lago on the ground that potentially classified records existed there.

According to press reports, Biden Administration aides were surprised to hear of this development.
/3 However, the new records we obtained from our investigation into the circumstances of the Mar-a-Lago raid reveal the Biden White House & DOJ coordinated to obtain the Trump records and perhaps create a pretext for the law enforcement raid by way of a "special access request."
/4 What this means is that there are substantial discrepancies between what the Archives has told Congress and what appears in its internal communications...
/5 For example, Acting Archivist Debra Wall told @RepMikeTurner on August 16, 2022, that NARA "had not been involved in the DOJ investigation or any searches that it has conducted."
/6 This stunning revelation suggests that NARA was misleading Congress about the White House's role in the shocking raid of President Trump's home, and the fact that the Biden White House was acting "on behalf of" the DOJ raises significant legal concerns.
/7 The special access statute authorizes special access requests to an incumbent president ONLY when the records in question are needed for "the conduct of current business" of the White House...
/8 ...Providing documents to the DOJ for purposes of a criminal investigation is not the "current business" of the White House.
/9 Accordingly, America First Legal is
demanding NARA turn over records related to the Biden White House's involvement in the politically motivated raid of President Trump's
home. aflegal.org/america-first-…
/10 EMAIL HERE — Gary Stern, the National Archives’ General Counsel, confirms in an email obtained by America First Legal that “the Justice Department, via the Biden White House, had made the [special access] request,” regarding the documents at President Trump’s home, Mar-a-Lago

/1🚨ATTENTION🚨

We just filed a SCOTUS brief on behalf of @HouseAdmin Subcommittee on Oversight Chairman @RepLoudermilk to support Stephen Bannon’s emergency stay application.

The brief argues that the partisan January 6 committee was illegal and invalid from inception: Image
/2 @RepLoudermilk and his subcommittee are investigating the numerous security failures leading up to and on January 6, 2021, and reviewing the creation, operation, and results of the partisan Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.
/3 It is settled law that Congress must follow its own rules.

Consequently, AFL and @RepLoudermilk argue that the Select Committee’s blatant noncompliance with House rules and resolutions means that it was unlawfully constituted and that both its subpoena to Mr. Bannon and the subsequent criminal referral that led to his convictions are invalid.

/1🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨

Biden’s DHS intel group uses the phrase "quietly making democracy work" to describe their mission of combatting the "domestic terror threat" of Trump supporters in order to “rebuild faith in the federal government.”

/1🗳️NON-CITIZEN VOTING🗳️

Biden is giving registration forms and social security numbers to illegals.

America First Legal is sending an urgent ACTION PLAN to officials in all 50 states on how to stop illegals & non-citizens from voting.

States must ensure only citizens vote. Image
/2 We sent a letter to the chief election official of all 50 States, with a copy to each Governor and Attorney General explaining how they can use two key existing federal laws to obtain information from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security about the citizenship or immigration status of any individual for “any purpose authorized by law.”
/3 Given the unprecedented amount of illegal immigration that the United States has experienced since January 20, 2021 under Joe Biden, with millions upon millions of illegal aliens coming into the interior of the United States–and widespread concerns about the presence of aliens on voter rolls, the time is now for responsible election officials to do everything that they can under existing law to protect the integrity of upcoming elections.

/1🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨

Docs show Biden’s DHS intel group used Jan. 6 & the Mar-a-Lago raid to justify expanding surveillance of political dissent.

The group advocated for “collection based on speech” — as in spying on Americans for criticizing their gov’t.

#DeepStateDiaries PART 3: Image
/2 Today, we are releasing the third tranche of internal files from the “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group,” obtained exclusively through our litigation with @RichardGrenell against the Biden DHS:
/3 Today’s installment:

One group member noted that “prior to January 6th” (i.e., under the Trump administration), analysts thought that “it was inappropriate to collect” intelligence on Americans.

Following January 6, however, they observed that there had been a change in collection and reporting methods.Image
