/1🚨VICTORY🚨

The Biden Admin will dissolve & disband its unlawful DHS Intelligence Experts Group stacked with deep state partisans like James Clapper and John Brennan following our lawsuit with @RichardGrenell

They are also turning over their internal docs to our possession: Image
/2 DHS formed this so-called “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group” in September 2023, in its own words, “to provide advice and perspectives on intelligence and national security efforts.” Image
/3 However, it was not actually intended to provide unbiased, expert advice to advance the Department of Homeland Security’s mission; instead, it was a completely partisan group designed to provide top cover for the Department’s radical agenda under the leadership of Secretary Mayorkas…
/4 Members of this radical committee include:

🚨John Brennan and James Clapper are two of the leaders in the “Letter of 51” who used their “intelligence credentials” to mislead the American public on the veracity of the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 election. They stated that it had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” despite the FBI having validated its authenticity the prior year.Image
/5 🚨Francis Taylor, a former Obama Official who has made at least 650 political contributions, totaling over $32,000, all of which have gone to the Democrat Party or Democrat candidates for office.
/6 🚨Asha George, Rajesh De, Caryn Wagner, and Elisa Massimino, who have made a combined 179 political contributions totaling $60,000 given exclusively to Democrat candidates for political office.
/7 In fact, of the combined political contributions of those named to the group, over 98% went to Democrats. Just 1% went to Republican candidates for office.
/8 Immediately after DHS formed the Group in September 2023, @SenRandPaul @SenRickScott @SenRonJohnson @RogerMarshallMD sent a letter to Secretary Mayorkas demanding “DHS immediately rescind the appointments of these known purveyors of disinformation to the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group.”Image
Image
Image
@SenRandPaul @SenRickScott @SenRonJohnson @RogerMarshallMD /9 @SenHawleyPress also sent a letter demanding Secretary Mayorkas terminate the group “led by at least three individuals who helped suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story preceding the 2020 U.S. presidential election.”
Image
Image
@SenRandPaul @SenRickScott @SenRonJohnson @RogerMarshallMD @SenHawleyPress /10 In the House of Representatives, @RepPfluger introduced H.R. 5729 to prohibit the use of federal funds in the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group or any other group established to carry out equivalent activities.
Image
Image
@SenRandPaul @SenRickScott @SenRonJohnson @RogerMarshallMD @SenHawleyPress @RepPfluger /11 This bill followed a letter sent by @RepMarkGreen @RepPfluger in their capacities as Chairmen of the House Committee on Homeland Security @HomelandGOP and the House Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement, and Intelligence, respectively.

@SenRandPaul @SenRickScott @SenRonJohnson @RogerMarshallMD @SenHawleyPress @RepPfluger @RepMarkGreen @HomelandGOP /12 In November 2023, representing former Ambassador and Acting Director of National Intelligence @RichardGrenell and itself, AFL — in partnership with co-counsel Christopher Mills — sued DHS and Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
/13 AFL alleged that the group comprised of partisan actors violated the Federal Advisory Committee Act for various reasons — including its lack of balance, the Biden Administration’s inappropriate influence over it, and its lack of public notice and participation, among other things.
/14 In avoiding further litigation in this case, DHS agreed to:

1️⃣Disband the “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group”
2️⃣Provide AFL with access to its records

Accordingly, DHS and AFL agreed to dismiss the case. Image
/15 This is the second illegal FACA that the Biden Administration has agreed to disband following a lawsuit filed by AFL...

Keep reading.
/16 In December 2022, the Department of Education disbanded its illegal Parents Council following legal action brought by AFL on behalf of its clients, Parents Defending Education and Fight for Schools and Families.

/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

/2 AFL filed a lawsuit on behalf of four students over FCPS’ compelled pronoun policy and bathroom policy, which the school says can change daily.
/3 AFL argued that FCPS’ pronoun policy constitutes compelled speech because it threatens discipline for even an accidental or non-malicious “misgendering” or “deadnaming.”
