QOTD: Clark Search Implies Trump A DOJ Target

 

"Basically it says to me, Merrick Garland has an investigation into January 6th, and it includes Donald Trump.

Here's my thinking. So, you don't dawn raid someone's home unless they're a target or very close to a target of a criminal investigation. So they really do think Jeffrey Clark has committed various federal crimes. This was signed off on by a judge. This wasn't the Justice Department on their own running into his house, and in order to do that, they have to have some theory of what the crime is."  (our emphasis) -- former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal, on MSNBC discussing the significance of the early morning search Wednesday of Trumpist conspirator Jeffrey Clark's house.

There are few, if any, "fake elector" fraud conspirators between Clark and the Malignant Loser, save Mark Meadows perhaps. The Justice Department was clearly concerned that, after recent testimony to the January 6 House Select Committee, Clark might try to destroy evidence concerning his role in the failed coup attempt to keep the Malignant Loser in office. Clark appeared before the Committee's investigators and pled the Fifth Amendment 105 times, declining to cooperate with the investigation.
