Jeffrey Clark blasted the Justice Department for the search of his house on June 22nd which came a day prior to a public Jan. 6 committee hearing that focused greatly on him.
Remembering how representatives at first did not even offer him time to place on a set of trousers prior to entering his home in the early hours of the early morning and releasing an “electronic-sniffing dog” to take his electronic devices, Clark decried the circumstance as “highly politicized” and kept in mind of the timing.
“With the hearing that was pointed at me and targeting me today with, you know, the special audience member of Sean Penn,” he said in an interview on Tucker Carlson Tonight, “it looks highly coincidental and Tucker, you know, I just don’t believe in coincidences.”
“I just think we’re living in an era that I don’t recognize, and increasingly, Tucker, I don’t recognize the country anymore with these kinds of Stasi-like things happening,” he later added.
Federal agents searched Clark’s house throughout a predawn raid Wednesday. Comparable to the Jan. 6 committee, the Justice Department has actually supposedly been examining people included in an alternate electors plan.
Clark acted as assistant attorney general of the United States for the Environment and Natural Resources Division throughout the subsiding days of the Trump administration. After the election, Clark contacted Jeffrey Rosen to send out a letter calling for a special session of the Georgia legislature to deal with the election, declaring the department exposed proof of enormous citizen scams. Rosen eventually declined to do so.
Rosen ended up being acting Attorney General after William Barr’s resignation in December 2020. It didn’t take much time for then-President Donald Trump to grow disappointed with Rosen’s handling of his 2020 election claims, considering Clark as a replacement.
Previous acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue informed the committee Thursday that it was uncommon to think about somebody such as Clark for the post due to the fact that he did not have experience as a criminal attorney. Donoghue and others threatened to resign, with one official informing Trump he would have a “graveyard” at the Justice Department due to mass resignations. Trump never ever followed through on the consultation.
Carlson recommended that Clark was unjustly targeted for his political views and decried the circumstance as “Stalinist.”.
“At some point, somebody’s going to fight back, and it’s going to get super ugly,” he said. “I hope it doesn’t happen, but I think it probably will. It’s just very — the whole thing is so sad. And I’m sure that you were caught up in it in your pajamas like they just called you. It’s outrageous.”
