/1🚨BREAKING — A secret Obama memo, the Presidential Information Technology Committee (PITC), regarding control of Presidential records could change everything in the DOJ’s politicized prosecution of Trump…

THREAD: Image
/2 In October 2014, Russian hackers breached the Executive Office of the President’s network. In response, President Obama created, via executive action, PITC.

PITC includes representatives of the Departments of Defense and DHS, among others.
obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-offi…
/3 First, PITC creates a presumption that the President controls all information he receives.

The PITC memo established the President’s exclusive control over information resources and systems provided to the President.
/4 The memo created the presumption that information contained on information systems and resources was “EOP information.”
/5 Because the memo relied upon the Federal Records Act’s definition of “information system” as resources organized for the “use” and “disposition” of “information”, the memo gives the President exclusive control over information he receives.

This is relevant to what a President may reasonably believe about information given to him while in office.
/6 Second, and related, if information stored on the PITC network formed the basis for Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution of former President Trump, that evidence should have been disclosed to the former President and may be relevant to his liability.
/7 Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment against former President Trump, claims “Trump was not authorized to possess or retain...classified documents.”

But Obama’s PITC memo may have created a reasonable belief in President Trump that he, in fact, had such authority.
/8 Additionally, if the records Trump allegedly destroyed are still preserved within the EOP or the U.S. Department of Defense as part of PITC-created information systems, then other claims in the indictment may be baseless.
/9 These explosive findings are consistent with America First Legal’s whitepaper contending that the President of the United States has absolute authority over presidential papers. Neither Congress nor the federal courts may lawfully abrogate or limit this authority.
/10 The American people deserve to know the truth behind this secretive memo…we filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the Defense Information Agency, part of the Department of Defense.

/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:
/3 Today’s release shows how the Brennan-Clapper intel committee admits the existence of a Deep State that works “quietly” to “make democracy work” in the face of “domestic terrorism threats,” or in their eyes – “supporters of the former president.”

/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
