/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:

/14🚨Omission of evidence relating to the Office of Government Ethics’ review of the classification of payments to Cohen: Image

/1🚨⚖️NY TRUMP PROSECUTION FACT SHEET:

Judge Merchan Improperly excluded the testimony of former Federal Elections Commission Chairman Brad Smith, an expert witness for the defense. 

PART 9: Image
/2 At the core of the alleged crimes is the allegation that Trump’s payments to Cohen are “misclassified” election expenditures. 

See part 2 for why this is a bogus theory in the first place.
/3 Even if this charge was legitimate, former FEC Chairman Brad Smith was ready, willing, and able, to testify why the prosecution was wrong, and why the payments were not governed by election law.

/1🚨⚖️NY TRUMP PROSECUTION FACT SHEET:

Judge Merchan improperly allowed—over the defense’s objections—the irrelevant and salacious testimony of Stormy Daniels, which was simply character assassination of President Trump.

PART 7: Image
/2  All 34 counts against Trump were for falsifying business records.
/3 Relevant evidence would include showing that the defendant intentionally made a false entry in a business record or destroyed, omitted, or prevented a true entry in a business record to conceal the commission of a second crime.

/1🚨⚖️NY TRUMP PROSECUTION FACT SHEET:

Judge Juan Merchan was not a fair or impartial Judge. He and his daughter appear to have deep ties to the Democratic Party. He should have recused himself from all cases involving President Trump.

PART 4: Image
/2 Judge Merchan apparently made financial contributions to Joe Biden’s Presidential Campaign and a Political Action Committee called “Stop Republicans.” Image
/3 Judge Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, is the president of a political consulting company called Authentic Campaigns, which provides political services for prominent Democratic Party clients.

/1🚨RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN ACADEMIA🚨

‼️Hiring faculty

/2 With co-counsel Jonathan F. Mitchell and Stone Hilton PLLC we just sued Northwestern University for discriminating against white men in its faculty hiring and the Northwestern University Law Review for discriminating against white men when selecting its articles, editors, and members.
/3 Federal law prohibits universities that accept federal funds from discriminating on account of race or sex.

/1🚨BREAKING🚨

We just filed a lawsuit against CBS for allegedly unlawfully firing a Emmy award-winning news anchor because he is a white male.

The complaint alleges anti-white and anti-male discrimination in violation of Civil Rights law: Image
/2 AFL’s client is an Emmy Award-winning white male with over 30 years of experience in broadcast journalism. In May 2022, after working at CBS for almost seven years, the General Manager Joel Vilmanay informed him that he would be terminated within six months and that CBS was currently looking for his replacement. AFL’s client asked the Vice President News Director of CBS, Mike Dello Stritto, about his termination and was told: “It’s not about the ratings.”
/3 It was not about the ratings; it was because CBS was apparently engaging in illegal diversity policies that unabashedly discriminate against white males. In fact, CBS replaced AFL’s client with a young black male who checked the illegal diversity boxes the network was seeking.
