In Big Victory Against Lawfare, DC Court Of Appeals Smacks Down Jeff Clark Subpoena
The Federalist ^ | 2/26/24 | JORDAN BOYD

Trump-era Department of Justice official Jeffrey Clark won a big victory against Democrat lawfare on Monday when the D.C. Court of Appeals ruled he did not have to comply with a subpoena issued by the D.C. Bar’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel.

The appeals court denied the D.C. Bar’s attempt to enforce its subpoena against Clark because it “infringes on Mr. Clark’s Fifth Amendment right not to be compelled to be a witness against himself.” The court did not release a full opinion but promised to do so in the future.

The victory for Clark serves as a shocking blow to Democrats, who have tried to disbar more than 100 attorneys who agreed to work on election integrity cases following the 2020 presidential election. They’ve expanded that lawfare to attorneys across the nation who defend conservatives, including half of Republican attorneys general.

This is good news.

D.C. Courts might be worried that Trump will win in November and any precedents set to be used against Trump now could be used against Democrats in a few months.

Under Trump47, the ABA should be decertified for government consultation, and State Bar Associations nationwide should have to undergo certification where they PROVE previous disciplinary procedures were UNbiased.

I try to follow the firehose of relevant information on the tyranny we face, but this got by me.

I had no idea the number of employees involved in cases to foster election integrity who were being subjected to Leftist government-encouraged and sponsored Lawfare was that high.

That is sobering indeed.

“D.C. Courts might be worried that Trump will win in November and any precedents set to be used against Trump now could be used against Democrats in a few months.”

Next thing to watch for is them wearing MAGA hats whenever they are out in public and off duty.
