Jeffrey Clark's bid to aid Trump election scheme violated attorney rules, DC Bar panel finds
Source: Politico
A disciplinary panel in Washington has found that Jeffrey Clark, a former high-ranking Justice Department official, violated ethics rules for lawyers in his attempt to aid Donald Trumps bid to subvert the 2020 election.
The three-member disciplinary committee determined Thursday that Clarks campaign to pressure Justice Department leaders to help upend the transfer of power to Joe Biden violated his duties as an attorney.
The preliminary ruling jumpstarts a process that could lead to the suspension or even permanent revocation of Clarks license to practice law, even as hes considered a candidate for a senior position in a second Trump administration.Disciplinary investigators who brought the charges against Clark say they intend to advocate for his disbarment.

and enjoy some sunshine. How about someone like him actually doing a truthful story about how and why he did what he did. He might become a dumpy celebrity!
Someone from this crowd of wretched idiots could stand to take a lesson or 1000 from John Dean (of Watergate)
