In a pre-dawn raid Wednesday, armed federal law enforcement agents searched the home of Jeffrey Clark, a former Trump Justice Department official who has emerged as a central figure in the partisan House Select Committee’s investigation into the January 6 riot.
Clark’s name was expected to come up in the Jan. 6 Committee hearing on Thursday.
He served as acting assistant attorney general for the Civil Division during President Trump’s final months in office, where he was the only official willing to investigate credible allegations of fraud.
In a tweet back in March, Clark explained why he has been targeted by the regime.
“I’m a former Trump DOJ official who (like you) was concerned about the 2020 election,” he explained. “Now I’m one of the top targets of the politically motivated J6 Committee.”
My name is Jeff Clark, hated by the Left.

Clark allegedly met directly with the White House to discuss allegations of voter fraud “rather than going through proper channels,” Fox News reported.
According to previous testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Trump considered appointing Clark as attorney general after former AG William Barr showed no interest in pursuing voter fraud allegations after the election, but several top Justice Department officials reportedly threatened to quit, leading Trump to cancel the plan.
The committee subpoenaed Clark in October, and he reportedly invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times during his interview.
Russ Vought, former Office of Management and Budget director and president of the Center for Renewing America, where Clark is a fellow, released a statement Thursday condemning the raid.
“The new era of criminalizing politics is worsening in the US. Yesterday more than a dozen DOJ law enforcement officials searched Jeff Clark’s house in a pre-dawn raid, put him in the streets in his pajamas, and took his electronic devices,” Vought said in the statement. “All because Jeff saw fit to investigate voter fraud. This is not America, folks.“
In an interview earlier this month, Clark said he had no involvement with January 6 “in any capacity,” but did want a “thorough investigation” into allegations of voter fraud.
“This whole hearing process is a Kangaroo Court with no adversary designed to destroy its targets,” Clark told Steve Bannon on June 10.
This is not America, folks.Yes it is.
It’s disgusting they are engaging in political persecution and show trials one would expect from a totalitarian regime, while most Republicans in Congress sit around with their thumb up their @ss.
You didn’t miss it. It’s not in the article at all.
In that case, was he even arrested?
I fear that after the complete failure of the January 6th inquisition, the dims may take their attempt to end Trump’s influence, and possible 2024 run one step further. If the Trumps haven’t already, they need to increase security. These dimocrap maggots have gone insane!
You can bet the Clinton’s have already been consulted.
Just desperate Democrat/communists trying to do anything they can to hurt Trump. This will go nowhere.
Did they say what the warrant was for?
This is pure communist BS.
This bunch is totally out of control.
Why do they keep using armed feds to raid homes of these people? They did nothing wrong or illegal.
Bkmk

Does paranoia have anything to do with this insanity?
Yeah, and all those guns laying at the bottom of lakes and ponds after boating accidents are good for nothing.
Proof that you don’t have to take guns, just threaten and bully people works.
"The trials were held against Stalin’s political enemies"
"The trials were shams"
"part of Stalin’s Great Purge"
"In some cases, people were coaxed into making...confessions by threats against their families"
"Americans could even be found to defend Stalin show trials, a spectacle of political theater so transparent that it would have taken genuine effort not to see through it."
"George Orwell could hardly have improved on this eerie and macabre spectacle. Yet there were those on the American Left who supported Stalin and vouched for the authenticity of the trials."
"After Stalin’s death, Soviet premier Nikita Khruschev repudiated the trials in a speech to the Twentieth Congress of the Russian Communist Party"

So,why is that illegal.🤔

This, the raids on James O’Keefe, Roger Stone...
They want to see how far they can push, before they get a reaction.
Then, they’ll use the, shortly to be signed red flag laws to disarm Patriots.
Then it’s off to the gulag...or the grave.
most republicans in congress are glad it’s happening. Stop assuming they are on your side.
The fact that the bad guys hate this guy is not, all by itself, enough to make him be, or deserve my or your support for, his candidacy for President of the United States.
Think about how to actually achieve the goal you want rather than simply raging at the people who are opposing those goals.
