/1🚨BREAKING🚨

The Biden-Harris NARA, Biden’s lawyers, and Obama’s legal representatives just delayed the release of Biden’s Vice Presidential records, including records on Hunter Biden and his foreign business dealings, until November 6, 2024 — the day AFTER the Election: Image
/2 We have just been notified by the Biden-Harris DOJ that President Biden’s lawyers and President Obama’s legal representatives have claimed an extension under the Presidential Records Act, 44 U.S.C. § 2208(a)(3)(B), delaying the public release of records from Joe Biden’s time as Vice President, including records relating to Hunter Biden and his foreign business dealings, by the National Archives.
/3 In other words, Biden, Obama, and NARA are concealing these potentially explosive records until the day after the 2024 election, November 6, 2024. Image
/4 In August 2022, AFL launched a multi-front FOIA investigation, seeking records from NARA related to President Biden’s time as Vice President and Hunter Biden’s corrupt foreign business dealings. 

In September 2022, AFL filed a lawsuit against NARA to obtain these records after NARA refused to comply.

To date, this lawsuit has uncovered documents revealing evidence that…
/5🚨Then-Vice President Biden used a personal email address for official government business: Image
/6🚨Hunter Biden should have registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), and the Obama Administration had concerns about Hunter Biden’s appointment to Burisma:
Image
/7🚨The Office of the Vice President coordinated directly with Hunter Biden and his firm, Rosemont Seneca, for press inquiries: Image
/8🚨Then-Vice President Biden personally signed off on the statement given in response to reporters about whether Hunter’s appointment to Burisma undermines the Vice President’s credibility in pushing anti-corruption measures in the country.

These are just a few highlights… Image
/9 Now, just a month before the 2024 Presidential election, President Biden’s lawyers and President Obama’s legal representatives are delaying the release of documents that include “email messages with James Biden …, Lion Hall …, and [Hunter’s firm] Rosemont Seneca,” about “photographs from a White House visit of Vice President Biden with James Biden [and] preparation of Vice President and Biden’s final tax forms and financial disclosures for the year 2015.”Image
/10 This is deeply alarming because:

🚨The Presidential Records Act typically provides the incumbent President, or the President and Vice President who were in office when the records were created, 60 working days to review and assert claims of constitutionally based privilege over the records before their release. 44 U.S.C. § 2208(a)(1)(A), (a)(3)(A).

🚨Accordingly, these records should have been released by September 23, 2024.

🚨Under 44 U.S.C. § 2208(a)(3)(B), they may invoke a 30-working-day extension “by filing with the Archivist a statement that such an extension is necessary to allow an adequate review of the record” for “a claim of constitutionally based privilege against disclosure.”

🚨In this case, invocation of the 30-working-day extension delays the release until the day after Election Day.

🚨An extension had not been invoked in this case until now.

🚨President Biden’s lawyers and President Obama’s legal representatives have had since June to review these records, so it is not credible that they need an additional 30 working days to review them for executive privilege.
/11 This would not be the first time that political operatives have attempted to cover up a potential October Surprise right before a presidential election. Image
/12 NARA’s June 27, 2024 notification related to a tranche of then-Vice President Biden’s records that would have been released last week.

The Presidential Records Act invocation pushes the deadline to November 6, 2024 (the day after Election Day).Image
/13 Again, NARA described these “Biden Vice Presidential records” as “email messages with James Biden …, Lion Hall …, and [Hunter’s firm] Rosemont Seneca,” about “photographs from a White House visit of Vice President Biden with James Biden [and] preparation of Vice President and Biden’s final tax forms and financial disclosures for the year 2015.”
/14 In 2015, Hunter Biden was receiving regular payments from Ukrainian gas company Burisma and from Gabriel Popoviciu, a Romanian businessman under prosecution. Special Counsel Weiss has since revealed evidence that Hunter “received compensation from a foreign principal who was attempting to influence U.S. policy and public opinion and cause the United States to investigate the Romanian investigation.”

Would the photos of Jim Biden at a White House visit relate to the Romanian President visiting then-Vice President Biden at the White House in 2015?Image
Image
/15 In 2015, James Biden and his firm, Lion Hall, received hundreds of thousands of dollars in “loans” from Hynansky, a big Joe Biden campaign donor who received federal loans for his business expansion into Ukraine.

How might the records relating to the preparation of Biden’s 2015 tax forms and financial disclosures relate to alleged “loan repayments” from his brother?Image
Image
/16 President Biden’s lawyers and President Obama’s legal representatives arbitrarily invoked a statutory extension meant for executive privilege review obviously to prevent their public release until after the election. aflegal.org/breaking-biden…

/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

/1🚨ROGUE REDISTRICTING — AFL is urging a federal court in Utah to reject a state judge’s congressional map.

The map was drawn by activists and partisan lawyers at the Elias Law Group and would redistrict about half a million voters from a single county into new districts. Image
/2 Late last year, a state judge ordered Utah’s lieutenant governor to use this new map that would redistrict approximately half a million voters and result in dramatic political point swings.
/3 AFL’s brief argues that this court-imposed congressional map violates federal law, including the U.S. Constitution’s Elections Clause, which requires courts to enforce the last map enacted by the legislature if the current one is unconstitutional.

/1🚨LITIGATION UPDATE — AFL has filed an amended complaint challenging the U.S. Census Bureau’s unlawful use of statistical methods in the 2020 Census.

The Constitution demands a complete and accurate Census.

The American people deserve nothing less. Image
/2 AFL’s complaint, filed in the District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, hones its claims to show that the Census Bureau’s COVID-19 pandemic-related decisions to suspend or alter standard agency procedures crossed the line and caused inaccurate results.
/3 The complaint emphasizes that the most significant COVID-19 pandemic-related change was a sharp increase in the use of imputation — a statistical method that uses someone else’s data to fill in a missing person’s information.

Accurate representation requires an accurate count.

The Trump Administration Wants White Men to Claim Discrimination. This Is What Happens When They Do Image
“Jeff Vaughn says it was a 2022 billboard that convinced him being White and male was becoming a liability.

The then-evening anchor at CBS’s flagship Los Angeles television station remembers seeing an ad for his news program — and realizing it didn’t feature him.”
“It did include all of his co-anchors, none of whom, he says, was a straight White man like him.

‘That was a real gut punch,’ Vaughn, 60, said in an interview.

‘If you take a look at every person that’s on the billboard, it’s somebody that CBS sees as checking the box, whether it’s a woman or a minority or LGBTQ.’”

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just filed a new lawsuit against HHS and CMS to expose the architects behind a Biden-era organ transplant policy that financially rewards higher transplant volume and prioritizes race in transplant decisions. Image
/2 Last week, AFL filed a lawsuit to determine who within the Biden Administration was behind its race-based organ transplant policy.

This new lawsuit seeks to uncover the outside influencers who shaped the program, and why.
/3 The lawsuit targets the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for failing to produce records tied to a federal transplant program that rewards hospitals for increasing kidney transplant volume and embeds race into the process.
