Docs show Biden’s DHS intel group used Jan. 6 & the Mar-a-Lago raid to justify expanding surveillance of political dissent.
The group advocated for “collection based on speech” — as in spying on Americans for criticizing their gov’t.
#DeepStateDiaries PART 3:
/2 Today, we are releasing the third tranche of internal files from the “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group,” obtained exclusively through our litigation with @RichardGrenell against the Biden DHS:
One group member noted that “prior to January 6th” (i.e., under the Trump administration), analysts thought that “it was inappropriate to collect” intelligence on Americans.
Following January 6, however, they observed that there had been a change in collection and reporting methods.
/4 The documents indicate that under the Biden Administration, the federal government has used January 6 to justify expanding efforts to collect intelligence on what they deem “DVE” or “Domestic Violent Extremists.”
/5 As the second installment of the #DeepStateDiaries showed, “DVE” or “domestic violent extremists” is the group’s term for people who are “religious,” “in the military,” or support President Trump.
/6 The Brennan-Clapper group discussed “collection based on sites where they expect to see indicators,” suggesting that the federal government sought to monitor sites they viewed as “domestic extremism threats.”
/7 Notably, one group member asked, “When you are looking at speech online, how do you know if it is serious? Political? Hyperbole?”
Keep reading…
/8 The Biden Administration’s historical approach, as evidenced by these documents and the DOJ’s sentencing of Douglass Mackey to 7 months in prison for posting memes ahead of the 2016 election, is that speech online should be considered “serious” only when it comes from conservatives.
/9 As another data point, later in the conversation, someone else again mentioned how “efforts to collect” intelligence have noticeably changed post-January 6.
/10 And yet another participant noted that the “support” for the “mission set” has changed post-January 6 at the “departmental” level and has “become political.”
/11 The translation is that the committee appears to have been interested in DHS using the DHS’ Office of Intelligence and Analysis to push the bounds on activity—traditionally thought to be off limits—and is using January 6 as the excuse to do it.
/12 The following statement, from an unknown Group member sheds some light on where that political support is coming from…
Recall that this Group was full of security state officials who aligned themselves with the political left (98% of the political contributions from the Group members went to Democratic candidates for office, whereas 1% went to Republican candidates for office).
/13 This Group Member went so far as to encourage I&A to lean into using practices that 1) even the FBI says it does not have the authority to do, 2) the Senate has refused to give to any law enforcement agency, and 3) Members of Congress generally oppose.
But in the name of getting “actionable intelligence,” the Brennan-Clapper-led group urges I&A to ramp up “collection” on “U.S. Persons” without a “foreign nexus” and “trade authorities for civil liberties.”
/14 Disturbingly, the group went on to discuss that around January 6, the “FBI testified that they were limited with what they could do with social media,” but that “action reporting” post-January 6 may have changed.
This suggests that the group was planning to potentially advise DHS to ramp up efforts to monitor political dissent on social media.
/15 The group also discussed using the fabricated and illegal raid on President Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago – where the FBI staged photographs to manufacture incriminating evidence – to justify its expanded activities...
/16 With respect to Mar-a-Lago, one Group member said there was “reason to be concerned about a violent reaction” after the raid.
The group also discussed whether this is “politically driven or in [their] mission space,” and one group member noted they should be aware of the “public optics” of this activity.
/17 In considering threats of “violence,” the group also discussed a hypothetical scenario in which “there is a shooting with 12 injured” and whether that would require a national response from DHS and if it falls into a “domestic violent extremism” category.
/18 Just last week, 5 people were killed and 8 were wounded in Chicago, and in Washington, D.C., 4 people were shot.
Yet, the Brennan-Clapper does not appear to be concerned with addressing the rampant rising crime and violence in American cities; it is only when they can attribute violence to political opposition that they label violence as domestic extremism.
/19 These documents, obtained exclusively by AFL through litigation against DHS, prove there is a pronounced difference between how I&A operated (collected and reported intelligence for DHS) before and after January 6. They demonstrate how the standards followed under the Trump administration to respect Constitutional rights and civil liberties are apparently no longer followed under the Biden administration.
/1🚨BREAKING — AFL has filed a formal complaint urging the U.S. Department of Education to investigate Upper Arlington School District in Ohio for willfully implementing illegal DEI policies.
/2 In June 2020, the Upper Arlington Schools Board of Education implemented numerous unlawful DEI initiatives, including:
➡️ Establishing a “Chief Talent Officer” to “foster workforce diversity”
➡️ Forming an “Equity Advisory Board” to provide “insight and feedback on the recruitment of a diverse staff”
➡️ Creating a “Chief Excellence and Engagement Officer” position to “spearhead DEI efforts”
/3 In July 2023, Upper Arlington Schools Superintendent Dr. Robert Hunt launched “UAdventure,” a DEI program calling for a “clear vision for DEI initiatives [and] advocacy for LGBTQIA+ students” — containing facially illegal programs and practices.
“A pro-Trump legal group founded by White House aide Stephen Miller is suing Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts…
The lawsuit was filed by America First Legal.”
“The complaint accuses both the U.S. Judicial Conference and the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts of performing certain regulatory actions that go beyond the scope of resolving cases or controversies, or administratively supporting those actions, which they argue are the ‘core functions’ of the judiciary.”
“It also argues that records held by the Roberts-led U.S. Judicial Conference should therefore be subject to the Freedom of Information Act requests, or FOIA requests, as a result.”
/1🚨BREAKING — AFL filed a federal civil rights complaint with HHS calling for an investigation into Henry Ford Health for illegal race and sex-based discrimination throughout its entire system — in patient care, hiring, education, and research — all funded by American taxpayers.
/2 AFL recently exposed Harvard’s use of federal dollars to push DEI ideology in healthcare.
Henry Ford Health (HFH) has engaged in similar discriminatory behavior on American taxpayers’ dime.
At HFH, DEI isn’t in the margins — it’s central to how the entire system operates…
/3 Since 2021, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has awarded nearly $1 BILLION in taxpayer funds to Henry Ford Health for programs that embed race and sex preferences into nearly every aspect of medical care — affecting who gets an organ transplant, which doctors get hired, and how residents are trained.
This is identity politics with a federal stamp of approval and possible life-or-death consequences.
/1🚨BREAKING — AFL has filed a bar complaint against NY Attorney General Letitia James following a DOJ criminal referral.
The complaint alleges she committed mortgage fraud spanning decades by falsifying bank documents and property records for government aid and favorable loans.
/2 On April 14, 2025, U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director William Pulte sent a criminal referral to DOJ, alleging AG James repeatedly “falsified bank documents and property records” to obtain “government-backed assistance” and loans with “favorable loan terms.”
/3 FHFA’s criminal referral lays out serious allegations spanning two decades, stating AG James may have violated:
➡️ 18 U.S.C. § 1343 — Wire fraud
➡️ 18 U.S.C. § 1341 — Mail fraud
➡️ 18 U.S.C. § 1344 — Bank fraud
➡️ 18 U.S.C. § 1014 — False statements to a financial institution
/1🚨BREAKING — AFL is suing the Judicial Conference and the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts to enforce lawful oversight, expose leftist lawfare, and deliver accountability.
/2 AFL’s lawsuit arises from Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for communications between the Judicial Conference, the Administrative Office, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, and Representative Hank Johnson regarding Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
/3 Both the Judicial Conference and the Administrative Office denied AFL’s FOIA requests, claiming they “are not subject to FOIA” because they are protected by FOIA’s carve-out for “courts of the United States.”
/1🚨UPDATE — Paramount has ended its DEI policies following lawsuits from AFL.
AFL also secured an amicable resolution of a discrimination claim against Paramount and CBS for Brian Beneker, a “SEAL Team” writer denied opportunities because he didn’t “check any diversity boxes.”
/2 AFL filed the lawsuit against Paramount Global, CBS Entertainment, and CBS Studios on February 29, 2024, alleging that the companies engaged in unlawful discrimination in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by denying Mr. Beneker employment and career opportunities based on his race, sex, and sexual orientation.
/3 Mr. Beneker alleged that Paramount and CBS had imposed racial quotas in their writers’ rooms.
