‘This case involves an unprecedented attempt to punish purely internal and deliberative discussions that took place at the highest levels of the Department and the White House.’
Former U.S. attorneys general are throwing their support behind Trump 45 Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, calling out the corrupt D.C. bar for attempting to strip him of his law license.
In August, the D.C. bar recommended that Clark, who now leads the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the White House, be disbarred for drafting legal advice regarding voting irregularities that was not distributed in 2020.
For that, a member of the bar’s disciplinary counsel said it was the “‘second greatest internal threat’ to democracy, behind only the Civil War.”
In their 23-page amicus brief supporting Clark, former Attorneys General William Barr (George H.W. Bush and Trump 45), Jeff Sessions (Trump 45), and Michael Mukasey (George W. Bush), said that while those words were “undoubtedly spoke[n] from the heart,” they show that “something is off the hinges here.”
The brief was filed with the D.C. Court of Appeals, which ultimately will make the decision on whether to remove Clark’s law license.
“This case involves an unprecedented attempt to punish purely internal and deliberative discussions that took place at the highest levels of the Department and the White House,” the trio wrote. “Disciplining Mr. Clark would open the door to charging federal lawyers with ‘dishonesty’ or ‘attempted dishonesty’ for statements made during oral arguments, theories in briefs, legal advice provided in memoranda, or even (as here) proposals in privileged internal draft documents and discussions.”
Noting that the bar intended to punish Clark for drafting legal advice that was “never intended to be released...”

Odd, I’d think the Presidential election of 1876 between Hayes and Tilden might be a tad more threatening to Our Democracy™ than a memo. But what do I know?
Biden DOJ officials attempted to pressure Shirley to “revive the discredited Russia hoax against Donald Trump; falsely claim the 2018 Florida recounts – which elected Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Rick Scott – were stolen; falsely confess to the existence of an illegal GOP fundraising operations to impede the 2024 elections,” Austin based Republican political consultant Andy Hogue says
After former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on Thursday and as Congress continues to investigate the “weaponization” of the Biden Department of Justice, one “weaponization” victim is calling on President Donald Trump for help.
Comey was indicted on charges of making false statements to Congress and obstruction of justice related to him denying that he leaked classified documents to a news outlet over the Trump-Russia election interference hoax investigation, The Center Square reported.
The “Russia hoax” was also used to target other Republicans, including Florida native and Texas-based Republican political consultant Michael Shirley, his attorney and supporters argue.
I don’t know what this is about but anytime I see William barr’s name attached to anything it automatically raises a red flag
So, he was disbarred for putting his private thoughts down on paper.
Sounds a lot like what’s happening in Great Britain. Express your thoughts or feelings on certain subjects or cultures in writing or verbally and go to jail.
Barr and the other AGs listed are writing in support of Jeff Clark and against having Jim disbarred. Their support is a good thing.
That, and, in this case to destroy Trump supporters and squelch any attempt by them to question the 2020 election
What is going on in Britain is awful. It is like the white elites have decided to commit suicide and they are taking all the other whites with them. And they want to leave their nuclear weapons in the hands of savages.
