If there is a higher standard of reporting for government officials, then I’m against her on this. If, however, it’s a generic question related to reportable arrests, I’m inclined to agree with Mr. K.
That being said, she didn’t need to play the victim card here. Too often people try to smooth over their excuse by playing the victim card. It’s a simple yes or no question. I don’t care if you were traumatized or not, that doesn’t change the outcome. Answer the question up front and provide details later. Courtroom answers, lady. Sheesh.
My understanding of “expunge” is that for all legal purposes, the thing never happened. It’s the closest thing to a Time Machine in the law.

Message: DOJ Clarke’s testifying falsely, falsifying govt documents about her arrest and jailing, her comments about racial superiority, and her role organizing a 1994 event at Harvard that hosted a professor who accused Jews of persecuting black people are troubling.
She should step down immediately.
Clarke falsely testifying indicates she apparently believes Americans who pay her salary are too stupid to determine the facts.
“I was seeing another woman,” her then husband Avery shared in the May 2021 text message exchange. “She was angry. Attacked me with a knife. That’s the story,” Avery insisted. “That’s what happened. She went to jail.”
Avery confirmed to The Daily Signal that his text conversations with Jones accurately represent what took place that night, including that he did not ultimately press charges and that he was not contacted by federal authorities about the incident. He declined to comment further.
Prince George’s County Police Department records show that the department was called on nine different occasions by someone at Avery’s and Clarke’s Upper Marlboro, Maryland, household between May 2003 and December 2007.
Seven of those calls were for a “threat” or some type of domestic violence, but most were cleared without a report. The July 4, 2006, call was made by “Mr. Reginald” (Avery’s first name) and accompanied by a 760 code, according to a mainframe print-out from Prince George’s County computer-aided dispatch system obtained by The Daily Signal.
That 760 code is the department’s clearance code for “arrest,” the Prince George County Police Department confirmed.
If she had been truthful the U.S. Senate might ultimately have withheld consent.
It seems likely her nomination would have been rejected over this.
She was hiding the information in order to get the high-level government job she wanted.
Is impeachment a possibility here? Perhaps she’s “playing the victim card” in a bid to avoid impeachment.
Avery might sue her for defamation.
A different standard exists for certain people.
