/1🚨BREAKING — We just sued Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Biden DOJ for failing to require Hunter Biden to register as a foreign agent while Joe Biden was Vice President.

We have the receipts. Let’s break it down in a thread⤵️ Image
/2 In March, AFL obtained emails from litigation against the National Archives and Records Administration confirming that Hunter directly represented Burisma in its dealings with the Obama White House.
/3 Hunter was both a board member of Burisma, a “foreign principal” under 22 U.S.C. § 611(b), and an attorney at the law firm representing it.
/4 Hunter Biden was arguably Burisma’s agent and subject to FARA registration because he was an officer of Burisma and appears to have represented Burisma’s interests to the Office of the Vice President. Image
/5 An “agent of a foreign principal” under FARA includes: https://t.co/40kNdsfhInjustice.gov/nsd-fara/fara-…
Image
/6 Attorney General Garland failed to require proper registration or otherwise follow legal procedures concerning a FARA waiver for Hunter.
/7 Following this damning revelation, AFL filed a formal complaint with the DOJ against Hunter Biden for failing to register under FARA.

/8 Federal law makes clear that no person shall act as an agent of a foreign principal unless he has filed with the Attorney General a true and complete registration statement and files applicable supplements – none of which occurred during the Obama administration. Image
/9 More recently, the National Archives released an email showing that Hunter Biden was involved in a phone call between Vice President Biden and then-Ukrainian President Poroshenko. Image
/10 On July 10, 2023, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York unsealed an indictment against Gal Luft for willfully failing to register under the FARA by engaging in political activities in the United States on behalf of CEFC and Ye Jianming, a Chinese national.
Image
Image
/11 However, Hunter Biden’s lucrative business arrangements with CEFC and Ye Jianming have been well known for years.
/12 @SenateHomeland and the @SenateFinance released joint investigative reports on September 23, 2020, and November 18, 2020, detailing the complex web of relationships and financial arrangements between the Biden family and their business associates with CEFC and Ye Jianming.
Image
Image
/13 On July 30, 2017, the @WaysandMeansGOP obtained WhatsApp messages where Hunter wrote to CEFC officials that he was “sitting here with my father” and threatened them. Full message below:
/14 Once again, the Biden family appears to have used their name for influence peddling overseas.

The DOJ has failed to follow official legal procedures and require Hunter to either register as a foreign agent or obtain a waiver. A
/15 AFL will continue to hold Hunter Biden and the DOJ accountable for circumventing the law and conducting foreign affairs illegally while Joe Biden was Vice President. aflegal.org/america-first-…

/1🚨NEW — The Eleventh Circuit should affirm Judge Cannon’s ruling and order the destruction of Volume II of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s UNCONSTITUTIONAL investigation into President Trump. Image
/2 AFL’s amicus brief, filed in United States v. Knight First Amendment Institute, argues that because Volume II is the product of an unconstitutional investigation, it is not subject to the Federal Records Act and therefore does not need to be preserved under those provisions.
/3 AFL also argues that even if Volume II is subject to the Federal Records Act, it would still qualify for authorized disposition under the Records Disposal Act, and its disclosure would be prohibited by the Privacy Act of 1974.

/1🚨Fight trans insanity in schools —

AFL has released an updated parental opt-out template letter following SCOTUS’s decision in Mirabelli v. Bonta, reaffirming parents’ constitutional right to direct their children’s upbringing and education. Image
/2 AFL’s updated template letter incorporates the Supreme Court’s ruling in Mirabelli v. Bonta: schools may not facilitate a child’s “gender transition” without parental consent.
/3 Specifically, the revised template enables parents to demand notice and an opportunity to opt out of instruction or activities involving:

➡️ “Gender identity”

➡️ “Gender-affirming care”

➡️ Sexual preferences

➡️ LGBTQ-related matters

/1🚨NEW — AFL has partnered with @JustTheNews to reveal the Biden administration’s SCANDALOUS role in Fani Willis’s prosecution of President Trump in Fulton County, GA.

AFL and Just The News have uncovered more than 8,000 pages of unredacted records from the Fulton County DA.
/2 The documents expose extensive coordination between Willis’s office, the Biden administration’s DOJ, the White House, and Democrats on the J6 Select Committee as they pursued their criminal case against President Trump over challenges to Georgia’s 2020 election results.
/3 The records reveal what appears to be unprecedented federal assistance to a local partisan prosecution:

President Biden personally waived former Trump administration officials’ executive privilege, allowing Fulton prosecutors to interview Trump before a state grand jury. Image

/1🚨ROGUE REDISTRICTING — AFL is urging a federal court in Utah to reject a state judge’s congressional map.

The map was drawn by activists and partisan lawyers at the Elias Law Group and would redistrict about half a million voters from a single county into new districts. Image
/2 Late last year, a state judge ordered Utah’s lieutenant governor to use this new map that would redistrict approximately half a million voters and result in dramatic political point swings.
/3 AFL’s brief argues that this court-imposed congressional map violates federal law, including the U.S. Constitution’s Elections Clause, which requires courts to enforce the last map enacted by the legislature if the current one is unconstitutional.

/1🚨LITIGATION UPDATE — AFL has filed an amended complaint challenging the U.S. Census Bureau’s unlawful use of statistical methods in the 2020 Census.

The Constitution demands a complete and accurate Census.

The American people deserve nothing less. Image
/2 AFL’s complaint, filed in the District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, hones its claims to show that the Census Bureau’s COVID-19 pandemic-related decisions to suspend or alter standard agency procedures crossed the line and caused inaccurate results.
/3 The complaint emphasizes that the most significant COVID-19 pandemic-related change was a sharp increase in the use of imputation — a statistical method that uses someone else’s data to fill in a missing person’s information.

Accurate representation requires an accurate count.

The Trump Administration Wants White Men to Claim Discrimination. This Is What Happens When They Do Image
“Jeff Vaughn says it was a 2022 billboard that convinced him being White and male was becoming a liability.

The then-evening anchor at CBS’s flagship Los Angeles television station remembers seeing an ad for his news program — and realizing it didn’t feature him.”
“It did include all of his co-anchors, none of whom, he says, was a straight White man like him.

‘That was a real gut punch,’ Vaughn, 60, said in an interview.

‘If you take a look at every person that’s on the billboard, it’s somebody that CBS sees as checking the box, whether it’s a woman or a minority or LGBTQ.’”
