TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): One of the political opponents the January 6th Committee is targeting is a man called Jeff Clark. He was Assistant Attorney General during the previous administration. Before dawn on Wednesday, which is to say, yesterday, a large group of armed federal agents wearing body armor with weapons raided Jeff Clark's home. They dragged him into the street in his pajamas. Now, what did Jeff Clark do wrong? Was he selling fentanyl? Was he human trafficking on the Mexican border? No. Jeff Clark did not commit any crime. What he did wrong was calling for an investigation into voter fraud.
We are happy to have Jeff Clark join us now. He's a senior fellow at the Center for Renewing America. Jeff, thanks so much for joining us. This is an almost -- I mean, this is Soviet account, really. So, tell us what happened and why.
JEFF CLARK (GUEST): It is and good to be here, Tucker. So, yesterday at about, just before 7 A.M., there was loud banging at my door, insistent banging. So I just rushed down as fast as I could. I, you know, quickly figured out, you know, that there were agents there. I opened the door and asked for the courtesy to be able to put some pants on and was told no, you've got to come outside. So I came outside, they swept the house. Eventually, they let me go back inside and put the pants on. But then, you know, by my count at one point, you know, 12 agents and two Fairfax County police officers went into my house, searched it for three and a half hours. They even brought along something, Tucker, I've never seen before or heard of, a electronic sniffing dog. And they took all of the electronics from my house. And you know, I don't blame the agents, I think what you're talking about in terms of weaponization is really about who's pointing the agents and telling them what to do, Tucker.
FROM THE TITLE POST AT MEDIAITE:
Former Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark gave an interview with Tucker Carlson after the FBI raided his house on Wednesday.
Clark loomed large in Thursday’s news cycle. In addition to the raid, which was first reported on Thursday, he was a key topic of discussion in the day’s Jan. 6 committee hearing. Former Department of Justice officials in the Donald Trump administration testified Clark was a central figure in Trump’s plan to remain in power after he lost the 2020 election.
One White House lawyer said Clark hoped Trump would appoint him acting attorney general so he could carry out a plan that the lawyer said was a felony. Other officials called it “nuts” and a “murder-suicide pact.” Clark wanted the DOJ to tell top Georgia officials the department had found evidence of voter fraud and to call a special session in order to send a slate of Trump electors to be certified in Washington.
Biden won the state and no evidence of widespread voter fraud was ever found.
This fact was not mentioned during Thursday’s segment on Fox News. Carlson simply stated, “What he did wrong was simply call for an investigation into voter fraud.”
Carlson called the raid “Soviet.”
“It is,” responded Clark, who explained that agents searched his house for three and half hours.
“At what point can we say the Department of Justice, where you once served, is a political instrument, it’s completely out of control?” Carlson asked.
“Yeah, I think this is highly politicized and it’s also part, Tucker if you didn’t know it, of a nationwide effort yesterday,” Clark replied. “There were multiple states where multiple people were roughly simultaneously raided for their electronic devices. And that obviously requires a high level of coordination.”
Clark added, “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 Stasi-like things happening.”
The Stasi were the secret police of communist East Germany.
“Yeah, this is Stalinist,” replied Carlson. “At some point, somebody’s gonna fight back and it’s going to get super ugly. I pray that it doesn’t happen but I think it probably will.”
At one point during the segment, a chyron read, “DOJ raids home of former Trump employee.”
As a Department of Justice official, Clark was not a “Trump employee,” but a U.S. government employee.
Watch about via Fox News.
If the agents had any integrity they would resign in mass. They are just as much to blame as the top level.

I think so too
Biden won the state and no evidence of widespread voter fraud was ever found.

Flat out false and 2000 Mules proves it.
(but you can’t mention 2000 Mules on Fox News)
” I don’t blame the agents, “
There’s your problem. They are happily acting as the gestapo for the swamp.
I do. Sure, their bosses deserve more blame but just saying 'I was just following orders' while acting as Gestapo or Stasi thugs, doesn't clear them of blame. They are tools of evil, and they are complicit in the evil imposed on this Nation.
Americans are in Putin’s place right now, maybe even a little farther along. Putin decided to take action before NATO troops were amassed at the Russian border. Will Americans wait until thr deep state has all of their pieces in place before taking action?
It’s totalitarianism.
That’s not hyperbole.
Jeff Clark ask for his pants. I would have asked for a warrant.
I agree. If I was an FBI agent and asked to raid in force some former government employee for asking to investigate the election process, I would resign on the spot.
Yes, Americans will wait until it is too late, and the lefty liberals become a corrupt dictatorship.
How about MSNBC & CNN? Are they showing clips from 2000 Mules?
Resign??? Hell, they live for this shit. A more psychotic group of uniformed, government-sanctioned thugs you’ll never find.
No, but some people think Fox News is different than those other outlets of the Ministry of Propaganda.
There are some exceptions on Fox, but overall they adhere to the narrative.
And right there is where I do in fact blame the agents.
With as many of them that were at his house some of them HAD to know he had only requested an investigation and to conduct a raid the very next morning is not legit but just harassment and intimidation.
They should have stopped right there.
What would they do if they were instructed to show up and beat a confession right there, or plant false evidence?
Both are crimes.
A baseless search at 7:00 am forcing him to stand in the street as a harassment tactic is also a crime.
I blame the agents and their superiors.
.
I am shocked 20 FBI agents wearing bullet proof vests have not raided D’Souza’s house, yet.
I wondered why he didn’t ask to read the warrent..he could have closed to door? and taken his time..
More and more I am feeling doubts about that ‘Red Wave’ everyone is so sure of come November.
