In reply to the discussion: New emails emerge of oval office confrontation three days before Jan. 6 [View all]ancianita
(42,153 posts)36. Both Clark and Eastmans pushed the idea, doesn't matter who thought of it first, does it?
They're both being investigated by the DOJ, and likely could lose their licenses -- Eastman, for Pence's part in nullifying votes in the House, and Clark, for legislatures' later part in voter nullification through fake electors.
Like the Eastman letter, the Clark letter drew support from an all-star cast of lawyers across the political spectrum. Donald Ayer, deputy attorney general under George H.W. Bush, signed, as did his former colleague Stuart Gerson, who served as acting attorney general under Bush.
The letter lays out Clarks corrupt efforts to throw the Justice Department behind Trumps plan to overturn the election. Although he joined the DOJ as an environmental lawyer, Clark ascended to assistant attorney general of the Justice Departments civil division in Trumps final months. In this capacity, he hatched a plot to coerce swing states legislatures into denying the legitimacy of Bidens victory and to award their electors to Trump instead. In a draft letter, Clark alleged that mass voter fraud had tainted the race, requiring legislatures to toss out the resultsexclusively in states won by Bidenand declare Trump the true winner. When acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen refused to send this letter to seven state legislatures, Clark launched a conspiracy with Trump to oust Rosen and seize his position.

Traitor Clark, a DOJ lawyer... did not know the DOJ is NOT the POTUS's defense law firm?
Justice matters.
