/1🚨BREAKING🚨

We are releasing documents highlighting the numerous egregious errors in the politically-motivated prosecution of President Trump by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.

This prosecution was a legal abomination and disgrace.

We are exposing the grave legal errors: Image
/2 For over a year, Alvin Bragg’s Office has used abusive and partisan lawfare to host a show trial persecution of President Trump.

The blatant disregard for the rule of law and politicization of the legal system is evident throughout this prosecution.
/3 To expose this abuse of prosecutorial power, AFL has systematically documented each of these issues and released them as one-page summaries.
/4 The Bragg prosecution failed on a wide range of issues, touching nearly every portion of criminal procedure…
/5 First, the indictment violated due process and, thus, the guarantee of a fair trial.

Second, the egregious judge’s bias was one of the many misapplications of the law.

Third, there were evidentiary issues that violated over a century of precedent. It is clear there were reversible errors every step of the way in the New York criminal prosecution.
/6 To document just how egregious each issue is, AFL has released a series of documents, each focusing on a discrete issue with the Bragg case.

This series explains the glaring legal errors, including…
/7🚨Violation of President Trump’s Sixth Amendment rights requiring a unanimous jury verdict to convict: Image
/8🚨How New York state lacked authority to bring violations of federal election law: Image
/9🚨How the prosecution violated the Molineux Rule governing the admissibility of certain testimony against President Trump: Image
/10🚨Why Judge Merchan should have recused himself, given clear biases: Image
/11🚨How the prosecution violated President Trump’s Due Process rights to fair notice of the crime he was charged with: Image
/12🚨How New York State Court was the incorrect court for the prosecution: Image
/13🚨The double standard the court employed when it came to the testimony of Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen versus the testimony of Brad Smith, and how that was used against President Trump:

Image
Image
Image
/14🚨Omission of evidence relating to the Office of Government Ethics’ review of the classification of payments to Cohen: Image
/15🚨Prosecutor Bragg’s political motivation: Image

Fox News on AFL’s complaint against the Dodgers:

/1🚨VICTORY — AFL secured a SIX-FIGURE SETTLEMENT from Montgomery County Public Schools after a court found its “Staff Pride” group likely violated the First Amendment by blocking our client on X for criticizing it for stripping parents’ rights to opt kids out of LGBT curriculum. Image
/2 In November 2023, AFL sued MCPS on behalf of @bethanyshondark and @MatthewFoldi after MCPS employees used a government-run social media account to silence critics of their far-left agenda. Image
@bethanyshondark @MatthewFoldi /3 In denying MCPS’s motion to dismiss, the court said, “Mandel was iced out while others who shared the Pride Members’ views and supported the MCPS policies were not similarly restricted.”

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just SUED IBM for illegal DEI-driven discrimination.

IBM leadership on a team call:

“Look at all the black and brown faces on this call.”

“If he keeps it up, he can expect a long career at IBM and lots of bonuses.” Image
/2 With JW Howard Attnys, AFL filed a lawsuit on behalf of John Loeffler, a high-performing technical seller for IBM’s Cloud Platform who spent nearly a decade delivering results.

IBM targeted him for termination because he didn’t check its DEI boxes:

❌ Older
❌ White
❌ Male Image
/3 AFL’s lawsuit alleges IBM engaged in illegal race, sex, and age discrimination by terminating Loeffler after placing him on a pretextual Performance Improvement Plan — all to deliver on its DEI agenda.

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL filed a federal civil rights complaint against Colorado State University with the Department of Education for ILLEGAL DEI policies violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and President Trump’s Executive Order, “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit.” Image
/2 CSU President Amy Parsons sent a campus-wide letter claiming the university complies with federal law — despite clear evidence to the contrary.

Rather than ending its unlawful DEI programs, CSU simply renamed them to create the illusion of compliance.
/3 CSU’s “Office of Inclusive Excellence” overhauled its website to hide illegal DEI policies — but scrubbing the language doesn’t change the reality.

These policies are still enforced across campus, and CSU continues to violate federal law.

Maricopa County is trying to unlawfully seize control of election operations in Arizona.

AFL just filed a lawsuit to stop this illegal election interference.

🧵👇 Image

The board is attempting to unlawfully seize control of election operations by refusing to give Recorder Heap the resources he needs to fulfill his statutory duty to administer elections.Image
/3 Arizona law requires the board to fully fund the recorder’s necessary expenses.

Despite this, the board recently passed a budget that permanently transfers the recorder’s key statutory duties to itself and underfunds the recorder’s office.
