/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🚨 VICTORY — ATF REVERSES UNLAWFUL POLICY 🔄

The Biden-Harris ATF has reversed its unlawful “zero-tolerance” policy that allowed the agency to revoke federal firearms licenses (FFL) over minor paperwork errors, following AFL and @TPPF’s lawsuit.
/2 Historically, FFL holders were required to “willfully” violate the Gun Control Act (GCA) to lose their licenses.

This required intentional and reckless disregard for the GCA’s requirements in filling out the federal form.
/3 In 2021, ATF issued a punitive and unlawful policy redefining “willfulness” to allow the federal government to revoke FFLs for typographical or inadvertent errors and minor violations. Image

AFL has launched a multi-pronged initiative to hold elected officials in sanctuary jurisdictions across the country accountable for violating federal immigration laws. Image
/2 As part of AFL’s initial response to leftist elected officials and organizations’ plans to interfere with the federal enforcement of our immigration laws, we have:

➡️ Filed a Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) petition to increase transparency into crimes committed by illegal aliens against women and children.

➡️ Filed investigative requests with 17 key states and cities across the U.S. to expose the individuals and organizations actively undermining federal immigration enforcement and the rule of law.
/3 AFL has notified 249 elected officials in sanctuary jurisdictions across the U.S. of the legal consequences they could face for interfering with or impeding federal immigration law enforcement efforts and for concealing, harboring, or shielding illegal aliens. Image

/1🚨 VICTORY 🚨

A federal court has denied the Stanford Internet Observatory, Atlantic Council, and Aspen Institute’s attempt to dismiss AFL’s class action lawsuit for conspiring with the U.S. government to conduct targeted surveillance and censor conservative political speech. Image
Image
/2 On May 2, 2023, AFL filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of Jill Hines, co-director of Health Freedom Louisiana, and Jim Hoft, founder of The Gateway Pundit, against entities associated with the so-called “Election Integrity Partnership” and the “Virality Project.”
/3 The lawsuit alleges that these academic institutions, nonprofits, and researchers conspired with the federal government to surveil and censor conservative political speech regarding COVID-19 and elections on social media platforms.

/1🚨 BREAKING: NEW DOCS EXPOSE U.S. GOVERNMENT CENSORSHIP ACTIVITIES

AFL has obtained new documents revealing that the U.S. government weaponized the homeland security apparatus & coordinated with the Censorship Industrial Complex & foreign authorities to censor COVID-19 speech. Image
/2 Through our litigation against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), AFL obtained a previously unreleased document titled “COVID-19 Countering Foreign Influence Task Force Reporting and Analysis.”
/3 The internal CISA Countering Foreign Influence Task Force (CFITF) report from 2020 is marked “FOUO//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY” and states that “online misinformation erode[s] public confidence in yet to be developed COVID-19 vaccine.” Image

/1‼️NEW INVESTIGATION‼️

AFL is investigating whether the Loudoun County School Board and Former FBI Deputy Director Andy McCabe played a role in AG Merrick Garland’s October 4 memo mobilizing federal counter-terrorism resources against concerned parents at school board meetings. Image
/2 In 2020, parents in Loudoun County, Virginia, began speaking out against a variety of issues, including school closures, Critical Race Theory (CRT) curriculum, transgender bathroom and locker room policies, and the politicization of the Loudoun County School Board.
/3 In March 2021, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office opened a criminal investigation into a private Facebook group called “The Anti-Racist Parents of Loudoun County.”

Members of the group — which included six school board members, the Commonwealth Attorney, and a member of the Board of Supervisors — discussed targeting parents who spoke out at school board meetings against school closures and CRT in Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS).

Later, the FBI launched a parallel probe into the matter.Image
