#JeffreyClark plotted to reverse #Trump’s loss. Now he’s a #GOP “luminary”

After trying to use the #JusticeDepartment to delegitimize the 2020 vote, #Clark has become a rising #legal star for #Republicans

(FYI the guy was disbarred & is the subject of multiple criminal investigations. The GOP has a hell of a Bizarro World idea of the #law)

Jeffrey Clark is GOP star after trying to use DOJ to overturn election

After trying to use the Justice Department to delegitimize the 2020 vote, Clark has become a rising legal star for Republicans.

The Washington Post

Scary stuff:

In a conference room near the #Capitol, #YoungConservatives gathered in April to learn how to #RunForOffice —how to #win & #wield #government #power.
Among the keynote speakers at the summit, hosted by a grp devoted to “training #America’s future statesmen today,” was #JeffreyClark, the fmr snr #DOJ ofcl who in 2020 sought to use federal #law enforcement power to undo…#Trump’s defeat.

#JeffreyClark has won admiration w/in the pro-Trump wing of the #GOP, rather than being shunned for plotting to use #DOJ authority to strong-arm states into disregarding the will of #voters.
…Last yr, he landed a top job at a think tank laying the groundwork for a possible 2nd #Trump term. …once-obscure…, #Clark now appears as a pundit on conservative TV & podcasts.
#Clark is poised to gain sweeping #authority if TFG should clinch another term — potentially even in the role of #AG….

#JeffreyClark has not been indicted by the #SpecialCounsel, #JackSmith…. But Smith has said his investigation is ongoing. A DA in #Georgia is also probing Clark’s actions. And a #DCBar disciplinary office is pursuing #ethics charges against him that could ultimately strip him of his #law license. The #charges, filed by the D.C. Bar’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel last summer, allege that #Clark engaged in dishonest conduct & attempted to interfere w/ “the administration of #justice.”

This past May, #JeffreyClark published a position paper on the Center for Renewing America’s website that some of TFG’s allies see as a blueprint for bringing the #DOJ to heel, one of a number of policy proposals the organization has produced for a possible second #Trump term. The paper, titled “The U.S. Justice Department Is Not Independent,” advocates a #UnitaryTheoryOfTheExecutive that would give the #president sweeping #authority over the whole #federal bureaucracy.

#Autocracy

The (paper’s) ideas illuminate how #JeffreyClark may operate if named AG — taking an approach that many #lawyers worry could turn the #DOJ into an instrument of the president’s personal & political #agenda. At the same time, Clark & others at the CRA have been some of the loudest voices claiming that #Biden is using #law enforcement to target his adversaries as he presides over what the nonprofit organization calls a “woke & #WeaponizedGovernment.”

#Trump #Criminal #Autocracy #democracy

Heath Mayo, an attorney & founder of an anti-Trump nonprofit group called #PrinciplesFirst, said #Republicans are contradicting themselves by accusing #Biden of #WeaponizingTheJusticeDepartment while at the same time pledging to crush the agency’s #independence & give the president the #power to steer investigations.
