Tim's comments: One way to counter the lawfare being practiced by the Left against conservatives in general, and President Trump in particular, is to fight back using the same tools the Left uses - the legal system. Fortunately, a few organizations are starting to do just that, such as America First Legal and Judicial Watch. Others need to join. If we are going to successfully resist the Elites and their Deep State apparatus, we must fight back. We can no longer be afraid to fight back because we fear looking bad or mean, or because we fear what how we will be portrayed in the media or pop culture. 

The following is an unedited press release from  America First Legal (AFL), dated September 16, 2024. Links are to web pages of the AFL. 

9-16-2024 WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, America First Legal (AFL) sued the New York District Attorney’s Office for records related to New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s partisan prosecution of President Trump.

AFL filed this lawsuit to obtain the following critical records from D.A. Bragg’s Office:

• Communications between D.A. Bragg’s Office and the Biden-Harris Campaign, the Democrat National Committee, Color of Change, and CREW.
• Documents and communications relating to campaign fundraising off of prosecuting President Trump.
• Documents and communications mentioning or relating to Alvin Bragg’s campaign and campaign, fundraising, or “Eliot” or “Spitzer” or “PAC.”
• Communications between D.A. Bragg’s Office and Judge Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, or her political consulting firm, Authentic Campaigns.
• Calendars for Alvin Bragg and his top lieutenants.

This lawsuit is part of AFL’s ongoing investigation into the New York District Attorney’s Office over concerns of impartiality, politically motivated prosecution, and the weaponization of the justice system. 

In March of 2023, AFL launched an investigation into D.A. Bragg’s Office to obtain its internal and external communications regarding President Trump and determine if political motivations played a role in D.A. Bragg’s prosecution of President Trump.

Following the partisan conviction of President Trump in New York and credible allegations of improper collusion between D.A. Bragg’s Office, the Biden White House, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), and allied leftwing dark money groups, AFL opened additional inquiries into D.A. Bragg’s Office for relevant records in June.

This June, after more than a year of stonewalling AFL’s requests, D.A. Bragg’s Office granted access to one single-page record.

Furthermore, D.A. Bragg’s Office admitted it possesses dozens of emails or other communications mentioning President Trump with the Department of Justice — but refused to provide these records on “grand jury secrecy grounds.”

Interestingly, D.A. Bragg’s Office’s admission to the existence of these records appears to directly contradict a claim made by DOJ in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan that same month, which stated DOJ found zero email communications “between any officials in Department leadership, including all political appointees in those offices, and the District Attorney’s office regarding any investigation or prosecution of the former President.”

AFL recently sued the New York District Attorney’s Office to obtain access to all records of D.A. Bragg and his staff discussing Judge Merchan or President Trump, and all records of communications between D.A. Bragg and his staff with the Biden White House, DOJ, and allied leftwing dark money groups. 

As part of this ongoing investigation, AFL also sued the DOJ last month to obtain records regarding Matthew Colangelo, a key figure in the partisan and politically motivated prosecution against President Trump in Manhattan. The American people deserve transparency, and AFL will do everything it can to uncover these records for the public. 

Statement from Dan Epstein, America First Legal Vice President: 

“It is incumbent for Alvin Bragg’s office to meet its transparency responsibilities. The public record now reveals a direct contradiction between statements from the U.S. Department of Justice and Bragg’s own office about coordination between the two. And now it would appear that groups like Color of Change may be coordinating activities between Washington, D.C., and New York City behind the scenes,” said Dan Epstein.

AD:  Resistance Operating Concept (ROC), by Otto C. Fiala and the Joint Special Operations University Press, teaches "developing a nationally authorized, organized resistance capability prior to an invasion and full or partial occupation resulting in a loss of territory and sovereignty." Although specifically written to address a foreign invasion, the ideas and concepts it presents could certainly be used by the people to resist an oppressive or tyrannical government. (This is the book Pastor Joe Fox of Viking Preparedness, and Bear of Bear Independent have often recommended.)
