/1🚨EXPLOSIVE LITIGATION DOCS: We sued DOD and uncovered a secret Obama memo on presidential records which shows that Jack Smith is the one subverting the law. 

The directive, which legally binds DOJ, vests POTUS with sole authority to determine which records are his.  

More… Image
/2 This secretive memo established by the Obama Administration — and used through the Trump and Biden Administrations — confirms the government may have already had originals of the alleged classified documents involved in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s sham prosecution against President Trump through the Presidential Information Technology Community (PITC).
/3 Some background…

In October 2014, Russian hackers breached the Executive Office of the President (EOP)’s network.

In response, President Obama created, via executive action, PITC. Image
/4 PITC includes representatives of the DOD and Homeland Security, among others.

PITC effectively establishes that the President controls all the information he receives through the PITC network. 

We launched an investigation…
/5 AFL Vice President @DanielZEpstein’s op-ed breaks down PITC in further detail below…
Image
/6 On April 4, 2024, we sued the DOD to compel the immediate release of documents requested under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) regarding the secretive Presidential Information Technology Committee (PITC) created by former President Barack Obama.
/7 The PITC executive order was public, but it doesn’t tell the whole story.

Today, AFL releases a never-before-public memo from the White House confirming the DOD has been “operating and maintaining the information resources and information systems provided to the President, Vice President, and Executive Office of the President (EOP).”Image
/8🚨This memo reveals that the White House secretly created and apparently maintains an information technology community that enforced Obama’s executive order to ensure that presidents could store their records on DOD servers without losing control.
/9 What it means is that the federal government has preserved and retained all EOP records on its servers, and therefore, consistent with Obama’s order, it likely possesses a substantial amount, if not all, of President Trump’s classified documents.
/10 Under section 2.01 of the memo, the White House Communications Agency provides core services related to unclassified records.

Under section 2.06 of the memo, the National Security Council provides classified services.
Image
Image
/11 Section 2.04 of the memo concedes that all “records created, stored, used, or transmitted by, on, or through the information resources and information systems provided to the President” were stored at DOD. Thus, the White House Communications Agency and NSC at the White House simply provide services regarding records housed at DOD.Image
Image
/12 Any Congressional committee with subpoena power can now seek to determine whether the documents that Special Counsel Jack Smith obtained and claimed Trump unlawfully retained after his presidency are actually in Biden’s active possession through PITC.
🚨🚨🚨
/13 This revelation cuts a knife through the entire indictment as it proves that many, if not all, of the documents President Trump is accused of unlawfully retaining were and are currently still retained by the Executive Branch and stored on DOD servers.
/14 Further, because of the PITC memo’s aggressive posture that all records the President receives are subject to his control, President Trump had a clear basis for believing he had the authority to possess copies of records stored at the DOD. It would, therefore, be impossible for Trump to have retained records "without authorization" and "willfully" and "knowingly," as the Jack Smith indictment suggests.
/15 This, of course, sets aside the point that the President of the United States has absolute discretion under the Presidential Records Act to determine which records are his, as we have long asserted:
/16 Lastly, the secret document uncovered by AFL raises the question of why armed agents ever raided President Trump’s personal residence. The Special Counsel should have first determined what relevant records existed on the DOD systems. The failure to do so, as the Biden administration clearly knew and enforced PITC, smacks of politicization and dangerous government overreach.
/17 Moreover, PITC explains how the President controls all the records:

"This memorandum is intended to maintain the President's exclusive control of the information resources and information systems provided to the President, Vice President, and EOP."

/1🚨CRACKER BARREL SERVING UP ILLEGAL DISCRIMINATION —

AFL just filed civil rights complaints calling for federal and state investigations into Cracker Barrel for unlawful discrimination based on race and sex in hiring and employment. Image
/2 Cracker Barrel rebranded its DEI website from “Diversity and Inclusion” to “Culture and Inclusion” — but continues to promote apparently unlawful practices.

The company offers employment benefits based on race or sex. Image
/3 Cracker Barrel promises to “attract, select, develop, and retain high-performing talent with diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.” Image

🚨SMOKING GUN🚨

AFL has obtained new documents CONCLUSIVELY PROVING that AG Merrick Garland’s infamous Oct. 4 memo labeling concerned parents at school board meetings “domestic terrorists” was POLITICALLY ORCHESTRATED and DRIVEN by the Biden White House.

“WH has been in touch.” Image
/2 These new documents expose the Biden White House’s involvement in AG Garland’s memo targeting parents — and reveal that career lawyers at DOJ warned that there was no federal authority or legal basis to target these parents in the first place because their speech is protected by the First Amendment.
/3 The documents show that after receiving the National School Board Association (NSBA) memo, which called on DOJ to use the Patriot Act to prevent parents from objecting to mask mandates in schools and Critical Race Theory in the curriculum, DOJ’s political leadership worked to identify anything — any authority — they could use to bring the full weight of the Justice Department down on parents.Image

🚨 BREAKING: NPR’s GOVERNMENT-FUNDED DEI policies EXPOSED!

The Senate just voted to cut funding for NPR. Why should you care?

Among other things:

NPR admits to tracking the race of its employees and, incredibly, its SOURCES used to give you the ‘news.’

Your tax dollars are hard at work pushing an agenda, not reporting the news. 🧵Image
/2 Focused on “inclusive storytelling” (instead of “accurate reporting”), NPR tracks the demographics of its news sources in order to achieve its “newsroom mission” “to look and sound like America.”

THEY ARE RACIALLY BALANCING THEIR NEWS SOURCES! Image
/3 Translation: NPR is basing which stories it covers, runs, and airs on the basis of skin color and sex of the sources of their stories. But don’t just take our word for it. They openly admit it.

This News Source Tracking initiative appears to have resulted in a 16% drop in the number of white news sources since 2013 while black sources have been the primary beneficiary.Image

/1🚨🗳 BREAKING — AFL just filed a formal petition with the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.

No more “honor system.”

No more loopholes.

Only U.S. citizens voting in U.S. elections. Image
/2 Federal law requires all states to use a single form for voter registration for federal elections.

This form, which the EAC is responsible for maintaining and amending, is required to collect the information necessary to “assess the eligibility of the applicant.” Image
/3 But the federal voter registration form doesn’t actually require any proof of citizenship…

It only requires applicants to check a box saying they are a U.S. citizen.

And it doesn’t require any verification that applicants are telling the truth. Image

/1🚨EXPOSED — The Left is suing to reinstate Biden’s DEI grants, calling it “discrimination” to stop funding race-based woke research.

But here’s what NIH really terminated:

A pipeline of radical, discriminatory junk science.

We read all 4,400 grants. Here’s what we found...🧵 Image
/2 Biden’s HHS awarded $740,000 to NYU for a project titled ADEPT: Assessing Diversity Effects Post Affirmative Action Restrictions in Medical Schools.

The purpose? To study how medical schools can adapt admissions and preserve racial preferences after the Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions.

The goal? To preserve race-based admissions pipelines using “equity and inclusion” as a cover.

This isn’t research.

It’s taxpayer-funded resistance to the Supreme Court.Image
/3 Biden’s HHS also awarded $2.1 million to Emory University to study meth use among black, gay, bisexual “men who have sex with men.”

The goal of the project? To “generate knowledge” to ameliorate “meth-related harms among black GBMSM.”

Apparently, “structural racism,” a “discriminatory LGBT climate,” and “health inequities” are to blame for drug abuse now.

And yes, there’s a lawsuit demanding we reinstate this. 🤡Image

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just SUED HHS, CMS, and HRSA to expose an ILLEGAL Biden-era plan to give out organ transplants based on RACE and ETHNICITY — not medical need.

DEI in healthcare is DEADLY. Image
/2 In December 2021, Biden’s Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) sought public comments on how to “Advance Equity and Reduce Disparities in Organ Transplantation.” Image
/3 In January 2022, Biden’s Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) announced new reporting requirements for tracking the race and ethnicity of transplant candidates and recipients. Image
