/1🔎THREAD: Today, we sued the FBI and DOJ for illegally concealing federal records related to Biden government-sponsored censorship of the American people in advance of the 2022 midterm elections.

Follow along ⤵️
/2 On December 16, 2022, @mtaibbi revealed in The Twitter Files, Part Six that two days before the November 2022 election, the FBI National Election Command Post (NECP) sent an email to Elvis Chan in the FBI San Francisco Field Office, flagging twenty-five accounts as election “misinformation,” including @RSBNetwork, the official Twitter account for Right Side Broadcasting Network.
/3 The NECP requested the FBI San Francisco Field Office to coordinate with Twitter to take “action” on the accounts, preserve subscriber information, and gather location information.
/4 Discovery in the Missouri v. Biden litigation revealed that leading up to election day, the FBI maintained an around-the-clock command center to ferret “disinformation” and “misinformation” and told social media platforms to have people available at all times to act and censor.
/5 During Mr. Chan’s deposition, he admitted that the FBI shared information that it believed should be censored, and the predictable effect was that social media platforms would do so.
/6 On December 29, 2022, AFL submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the FBI, with specific search terms, seeking “All records of communications to or from the National Election Command Post (NECP) referencing the Twitter accounts that were flagged for ‘additional action due to the accounts being utilized to spread misinformation.’”
/7 On February 14, 2023, the FBI denied AFL’s request as “overly broad.”

AFL appealed and on August 23, 2023, the DOJ affirmed the FBI’s denial.
/8 Today, AFL is suing the FBI and the DOJ for illegally concealing these records and to uncover how the FBI uses “disinformation” and “misinformation” as an excuse to interfere in our elections.
/9 America First Legal will continue fighting to expose the truth about how Biden’s government is actively working to undermine the First Amendment and prevent free and fair elections. aflegal.org/america-first-…

/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.”

#DeepStateDiaries PART 4: Image
/2 Today, we are releasing the fourth tranche of internal files from the “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group,” obtained exclusively through our litigation with @RichardGrenell against the Biden DHS:

/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
