Ex-U.S. Justice Department official Jeffrey Bossert Clark appeared on Wednesday before the congressional probe of the assault on the Capitol for questions about his bid to bolster former President Donald Trump's false claims of election fraud.
Clark was spotted entering a room inside a U.S. House of Representatives office building where the select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack conducts its depositions. A committee spokesman declined to comment.
Clark, who served as the acting head of the Justice Department's Civil Division, drafted a Dec. 28, 2020, letter to Georgia state lawmakers that falsely claimed the department had found "significant concerns that may have impacted the outcome of the election in multiple States, including the State of Georgia."
The draft letter urged state legislators to convene a special session to overturn the election results there.
Clark tried to persuade former Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen and former Acting Deputy Attorney General Rich Donoghue to send the letter, but they refused.
Rosen and Donoghue later told U.S. Senate investigators that Clark also privately met with Trump to lobby the then-president to oust Rosen so Clark could be installed as acting attorney general, paving the way for him to send the letter and launch voter fraud investigations.
Clark in November declined to answer the committee's questions about his legal advice to Trump, saying such discussions were privileged.
The panel voted on Dec. 1, 2021, to seek contempt of Congress charges against Clark, but it has sought a vote of the full House after Clark's attorney said his client intends to invoke his right against self-incrimination, protected by the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Notice how the election fraud claims are always just presumed to be “false.”
What happens if the evidence is ever successfully adjudicated? Does all this go away?

Exactly. If Clark is accused of “his bid to bolster former President Donald Trump’s false claims of election fraud” Doesn’t discovery need to take place to verify that the claims of fraud were false?
The Democrats run a nationally coordinated vote fraud operation, and have for years, because they're only 40% of the voting public.
The Republicans don't have to counter this fraud operation because they will win seats anyway, due to the 55-60% Republican-conservative voter coalition.
The Demoscat Party was helped in this by the Consent Decree of 1982, which only went by the wayside before the 2018 "election".
Yep.

Reuters is actually doing us a great favor here by exposing the coupists and their methods of operation.
We must learn from this. The highly corrupt executive branch did whatever they wanted, basically. President Trump was almost entirely a figurehead due to the bipartisan assault on his administration.
That first line is a lie, so nothing else in the article is worth reading.
