Jeffrey Clark is the person whose home was searched last Wednesday by law enforcement officials on behalf of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).

Mr. Clark worked at the DOJ.  He was trying to get a higher position there, that of Attorney General, by informing then-President Trump that he (Clark) would help him to illegally overturn the 2020 election.

        (U.S. Attorney General is the job held by William Barr during Trump, and by Merrick Garland now.)

Mr. Clark testified before the Jan. 6 committee in February, invoking the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times.

        (Wow, that's a whole lot of "I refuse to answer on the grounds that it may incriminate me."

        Maybe they don't have to say the whole thing every time, maybe they can just say, "Fifth" or something....)

        Other attorneys at the Department of Justice said they would all quit "en masse" if Clark was made A.G.  "Jeff Clark will be leading a graveyard."

        (This makes sense -- how could you have someone who pled the Fifth a hundred times now be in charge of the Department of Justice??

        Similar to hiring a literal bank robber to be president of the bank.  Lawyers might say my humble analogy is a tad imprecise, but I think it illustrates the general gist....)

~ "Some things are certain about the feds:  They never ask a question they do not already know the answer to.  And they never raid a place without knowing what they will find.

This wasn't a search as much as it was a collection effort."

During one meeting which included then-Pres. Trump and several DOJ lawyers, as Jeffrey Clark was trying to slide his way into the top job by promising henchmanship to The Donald, Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue (in his words) "...made the point that Jeff Clark is not even competent to serve as the Attorney General.

 

He's never been a criminal attorney.  He's never conducted a criminal investigation in his life.  He's never been in front of a grand jury, much less a trial jury," Donoghue told the committee last year.  "You're an environmental lawyer.  How about you go back to your office, and we'll call you when there's an oil spill."

        (I believe that suggestion might be Washington D.C.'s version of the mobster saying, "Go home and get your shinebox"....)

Mr. Clark has some crazy eyes.
