#JeffClark Disbarment Trial ALERT: Jeff Clark's hearings are March 26-29 and April 1-5, 2024. "In re Jeffrey B. Clark, Board Docket No. 22-BD-039" YouTube livestreams here: https://youtube.com/@d.c.bprhearingcomm ... 2/featured.

Clark also faces 2 felony counts in Fulton County GA for the same actions cited in the bar complaint.

Public filings for #JeffClarkDisbarment are in the Cases of Public Interest Folder at https://districtofcolumbiabar.sharepoin ... 5ef1f9747b.

"The disciplinary trial of former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark begins Tuesday in Washington. The bar complaint against him says Clark attempted to convince Georgia officials to overturn Democrat Joe Biden’s victory on false pretenses – an attempt that went nowhere but led to a dramatic White House showdown and the resignation of Trump’s U.S. attorney in Atlanta." "The Office of Disciplinary Counsel for the District of Columbia Court of Appeals in Washington has accused him of dishonesty and conduct that would interfere in the administration of justice to keep Trump in power. A trial is expected to take about nine days. If the panel removes his law license, it would bar him from practicing law in Washington D.C." Atlanta Journal Constitution story: https://ajc.com/politics/attorney-in-tr ... 66VX2D224/

Thanks to Meghan Borrazas, Case Manager, Board on Professional Responsibility. Big week for Jeff Clark #JeffClarkDisbarment and John Eastman: Judge Yvette Roland's Disbarment decision in CA Bar's #EastmanTrial is coming soon!

UPDATE:


Jeff Clark's motion was GRANTED in part -- no hearings on Mar 29 and Apr 3. Jeff didn't want to sit on Good Friday. https://districtofcolumbiabar.sharepoin ... 2DBD%2D039

Ooh thanks! I was listening to the supreme court but flipping over to this now!

[Rolodex]

Wow. Clark really is insufferable.

He took the stand and took the 5th and asserted various privileges on each question. And then he argued with the questioner and the judge.

If you're not watching, Acting AG (at that time) Rosen was on the stand this morning and was good. I don't think he likes Clark, either.

[p0rtia]

My favorite part was his smug insistence that he was fuckhead's personal attorney.

This scumball has burnt all the bridges. He's all in on fuckhead v.2.

Just to clarify, a Bar disciplinary hearing is not considered a criminal matter, so inferences *can* be made in his assertation of the 5th Amendment right not to give testimony, yes?

Yes.

Yes.

And he took the 5th and claimed all kinds of privileges on stupid stuff: Was there a recount in Georgia? 5th, privilege.
Did Trump speak to the GA Sec of State? 5th, privilege. LOL

And as Portia said, I think he really screwed the pooch when he said - when asked by one of the panel judges - for whom was he the attorney in applying privilege and said it was Trump (with a bunch of stupid other stuff like supreme commander, unified executive, etc). He was a DoJ employee - which means, unlike Eastman who wasn't a government employee, his client is the United States. Oh, Jeffy.

Clark has that charming Karl Rove demeanor.

Clark has that charming Karl Rove demeanor.

But without the cunning intellect.

From that Politico article:

On Thursday, Clark’s lawyer Harry MacDougald offered an answer: “There was a period on Jan. 3 when he was the acting attorney general until the president changed his mind later that day.”

* * *

It also dovetails with a piece of evidence unearthed by the Jan. 6 select committee: White House call logs from Jan. 3, 2021 show Trump spoke by phone with Clark four times that day. The first three times, from around 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., the logs identify Clark as “Mr. Jeffrey Clark.” The fourth time, at around 4:17 p.m. — two hours before the fateful Oval Office meeting — they list him as “Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Clark.”

“[C]ontemporaneous White House documents suggest that Clark had already been appointed as the Acting Attorney General,” the report concludes.

In documents filed ahead of his disciplinary proceedings, Clark cited the Jan. 6 committee’s finding to indicate that Trump had “designated” him acting attorney general “for a time” on Jan. 3, 2021.

But the matter remains unresolved. Some of Clark’s former colleagues are skeptical that the appointment actually occurred, noting that even if Trump had verbally confirmed it, there would need to be documentation and paperwork to effectuate the leadership change.

[Rolodex]

I bet Clark got a copy of that call log, printed it out and framed it. He probably has a copy in his bedroom for...private moments. Maybe that's why he wasn't wearing any pants when they arrested him. Of course I don't really know.

It would be criminal not to speculate.

But in all seriousness, f'ck these anti-democracy disinformation agents.
They shouldn't be given a platform to spread their lies..... The DC bar is falling for the trap

Jeffrey Bossert Clark must be SO PROUD of the case he's presenting to keep the DC Bar from disbarring him. "If my witnesses are unqualified cranks and liars, I'll take my pants off!" -- Jeff. #JeffClarkTrial

* Except, Steve Bannon et al once again flout the rules and record and archive the hearing, egged on by Rachel Alexander.

Whoa great news, Luke. How cool about Carling!

The nut parade is tomorrow. I know they won't crossexamine Shawn Smith till Wednesday. I wonder if they'll cross any of the bonker brigade tomorrow afternoon.

[raison de arizona]

It's going poorly for Clark.

Agreed Luke. This closing is not going well for Clark. And I love the number of times where the Bar panel has asked Clark's counsel "is that in the record?"

Opinion: McD is trashing Bill Barr, Jeff Rosen, the DOJ, and Washington DC... poor Jeff Clark is only a victim. These answers by Harry do not seem compelling to the panel and may be making things worse. #JeffClarkTrial

Tip of the iceberg of what the little bastid deserves. Here comes Georgia -- and he's an unindicted (so far) co-conspirator in Jack Smith's DC case.

Thank you so much for your live tweeting! Your feed attracts some really smart people who really add a lot! It's so nice to have folks to watch the hearings with!

Do you know if we have anyone in the bullpen for another bar hearing?

Roxy and Velma. John and Jeff.

My boyfriend, Tom Ryan, has a great sense of humor!

I have been participating in X ad revenue sharing over the last two months.

Now, as my account approaches 75,000 followers, the feature has been suspended for me based on a suppose violation of creator content rules. I’ve not yet been given any details.

Since this comes the day after I went to New York City to observe and comment on the trial of President Trump (which sent MSNBC into a tizzy), I can’t help but think this isn’t coincidence.

Please help, @elonmusk.

I also ask my followers to repost this with support. My followers know I simply post news clips or screen shots with comments, which is all fair use.

So everyone who has ever had a government or government-adjacent job, in any capacity, now has immunity for anything they do while they are employees? How does that work? Did SCOTUS intend for it to expand to, well, everyone apparently.

[p0rtia]

The ruling says that any communication POTUS has with anyone that can in the broadest sense be considered an official act is presumed to be immune. Cannot be used as evidence with apparently overcoming a massive time-consuming burden. Not clear to me (IANAL) if the immunity extends to the person having the comms with POTUS.

Notably any communication POTUS has with DOJ is apparently given absolute immunity.

God save the King.
