/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📈500K HAITIANS IMPORTED ILLEGALLY —

The Biden-Harris Administration illegally resettled half a million Haitian nationals into U.S. communities by inviting them in via commercial flights and a phone app.

All the government data outlined in the thread below… Image
/2 Since Biden-Harris took office, nearly HALF A MILLION Haitian nationals have showed up at the U.S. in less than four years. Image
/3 In January 2023, Kamala launched an illegal phone app called “CBP One” to mass import illegal aliens and fast-track them into the U.S. with the click of a few buttons.

Approximately 160,000 Haitians have entered the U.S. by using this illegal app. Image

/1⚠️MISPLACED PRIORITIES —

Over the last 4 years the Biden-Harris admin has steadily transformed FEMA — the agency responsible for responding to natural disasters like Hurricane Helene — into an illegal alien resettlement agency that emphasizes DEI over public safety.

THREAD: Image
/2 The Shelter and Services Program is designed to exclusively provide shelter and services to illegal aliens. 

Over $1 BILLION in taxpayer dollars have been allocated between FY2023 and FY2024.
Image
Image
/3 For example, of that $1 billion, FEMA gave over $38 million to NYC – a sanctuary city overrun by illegal aliens.

NYC, in turn, is handing out gift cards and hotels to illegal aliens. Image

/1🔎📻FCC FAST-TRACKING SOROS RADIO DEAL —

We’re investigating the FCC following their expedited approval of the Soros Fund Management’s acquisition of the second-largest radio network in the U.S., Audacy.

Americans and Congress have concerns and so should the FCC… Image
/2 Audacy is the second-largest radio network in the United States, with over 200 stations across 40 markets. It reaches over 165 million Americans and includes top conservative talk shows such as Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and Dan Bongino.
/3 In February 2024, George Soros bought $400 million of Audacy’s debt and subsequently asked the FCC to approve a change in Audacy’s ownership.

/1 In light of Iran’s reported assassination plot targeting President Trump, it is worth revisiting how the Biden-Harris admin made it a priority to allow Iranian nationals to enter the U.S.

On day one of office, they terminated the Trump 212(f) travel restrictions on Iran. 🧵 Image
/2 Facts: The U.S. does not have reliable information about individuals coming from certain countries across the world, like Iran. So, President Trump issued Executive Orders and proclamations to protect the U.S. from terrorists and criminals.

Image
Image
Image
/3 The orders specifically cited why Iran poses a threat to the security of the U.S., including the fact that it is a state sponsor of terrorist groups like Hizballah, Hamas, and al-Qa'ida. Because the U.S. lacks adequate information to screen and vet nationals of Iran, the orders generally prevented them from entering. Common sense.Image

/1🗣️💉EXPLOSIVE LITIGATION DOCUMENTS —

Facebook created a secret gov’t portal for CDC employees to flag and censor free speech on “Covid & Vaccine Misinformation.”

We uncovered the full and complete onboarding docs Facebook used to train gov’t employees on using this portal: Image
/2 We are releasing additional documents from our litigation against the CDC, exposing the COMPLETE onboarding documents Facebook used to train CDC employees on their government censorship portal to block free speech.
/3 Many Americans remember the unprecedented level of censorship by the Biden-Harris Administration in 2021. Unelected public health officials constantly revised their guidance, leading to repeating something that was “true” a week ago could suddenly get an account suspended. The Biden-Harris Administration’s clumsy and heavy-handed attempts to keep up with the rapidly evolving information environment entailed by a global pandemic gave all Americans a stark reminder of why the First Amendment was listed first.

We just launched investigations into Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s apparent ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

Follow along… Image
/2 On August 16, 2024, @RepJamesComer launched an investigation into Gov. Walz’s engagement with China. Rep. Comer reported that Gov. Waltz had visited the PRC approximately 30 times.
/3 The report noted that Gov. Walz operated Educational Travel Adventures, Inc., a for-profit enterprise that organized trips to China for American children for over a decade—between 1991 and 2003. Image
