/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."

A newly retracted intelligence assessment reveals the CIA identified higher birth rates in third-world countries as a threat to global economic development — and came up with a plan to “address it.” Image

/1🚨EXPOSED — AFL has released a report finding that 80% of the American Bar Association’s filings from the last decade support leftist causes and lawfare against President Trump.

The ABA is not a neutral arbiter and does not deserve to be treated like one. Image
/2 AFL’s examination of the ABA’s amicus brief program, which includes 87 briefs filed from April 2016 to February 2026, reveals that 80% of the organization’s filings advocated for liberal or progressive outcomes.
/3 It also reveals a 100% opposition rate to the Trump Administration across both President Trump’s first and second terms, in cases in which the ABA filed a brief. Image

Newly released CIA documents reveal the Biden Administration identified “motherhood” and “homemaking” as indicators of “white racially and ethnically motivated violent extremism” (REMVE). Image
/2 The intelligence assessment reveals the top-to-bottom bias at Biden’s CIA.

/1🚨NEW — The Eleventh Circuit should affirm Judge Cannon’s ruling and order the destruction of Volume II of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s UNCONSTITUTIONAL investigation into President Trump. Image
/2 AFL’s amicus brief, filed in United States v. Knight First Amendment Institute, argues that because Volume II is the product of an unconstitutional investigation, it is not subject to the Federal Records Act and therefore does not need to be preserved under those provisions.
/3 AFL also argues that even if Volume II is subject to the Federal Records Act, it would still qualify for authorized disposition under the Records Disposal Act, and its disclosure would be prohibited by the Privacy Act of 1974.

/1🚨Fight trans insanity in schools —

AFL has released an updated parental opt-out template letter following SCOTUS’s decision in Mirabelli v. Bonta, reaffirming parents’ constitutional right to direct their children’s upbringing and education. Image
/2 AFL’s updated template letter incorporates the Supreme Court’s ruling in Mirabelli v. Bonta: schools may not facilitate a child’s “gender transition” without parental consent.
/3 Specifically, the revised template enables parents to demand notice and an opportunity to opt out of instruction or activities involving:

➡️ “Gender identity”

➡️ “Gender-affirming care”

➡️ Sexual preferences

➡️ LGBTQ-related matters

/1🚨NEW — AFL has partnered with @JustTheNews to reveal the Biden administration’s SCANDALOUS role in Fani Willis’s prosecution of President Trump in Fulton County, GA.

AFL and Just The News have uncovered more than 8,000 pages of unredacted records from the Fulton County DA.
/2 The documents expose extensive coordination between Willis’s office, the Biden administration’s DOJ, the White House, and Democrats on the J6 Select Committee as they pursued their criminal case against President Trump over challenges to Georgia’s 2020 election results.
/3 The records reveal what appears to be unprecedented federal assistance to a local partisan prosecution:

President Biden personally waived former Trump administration officials’ executive privilege, allowing Fulton prosecutors to interview Trump before a state grand jury. Image
