A former Trump Justice Department official who met with Trump about the rigged 2020 election just had his home raided the federal agents early this morning, who seized his devices over what is believe to be his communications regarding January 6th.
And it looks to be all because he wanted to investigate 2020 voter fraud.
Via Fox News:
Federal authorities searched the home of Jeffrey Clark, a former Justice Department official with President Donald Trump’s administration, federal sources told Fox News.
An official with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in DC confirmed to Fox News that there was law enforcement activity in the vicinity of Clark’s Lorton, Virginia, residence on Wednesday, but would not say more. Clark’s name is expected to come up in hearings with the House Select Committee investigating Jan. 6.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office DC has no comment regarding the nature of that activity or any particular individuals.
Clark served as acting assistant attorney general for the Civil Division during Trump’s final months in office, and colleagues have testified he was a “true believer” that the 2020 election had been stolen, according to NBC News.
Clark reportedly flouted DOJ policy and met directly with the White House regarding election conspiracies, rather than going through proper channels.
“It’s even more evident in hindsight, but at the time, I did think, ‘He’s meeting with the president and now he wants to be briefed by the [Director of National Intelligence] on thermostats?…Just what is going on here with Jeff Clark?” former Trump-appointed Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen told the Senate Judiciary Committee last year.
According to reports, Clark wasn’t at the Capitol on January 6th and he hasn’t committed any crimes:
Jeff Clark committed no crime and was not at the Capitol on J6. For making libs angry by wanting to investigate voter fraud, he had his door kicked down by the feds in a pre-dawn raid. This evil regime is openly targeting dissidents as the people who cry about oUr dEmoCraCY cheer

So Jeffrey Clark who committed no crime yet is savaged by J6 committee and media gets his home raided by numerous armed federal agents who take his electronics but Colbert’s thugs get a slap on the wrist for illegally entering a Capitol building to stalk GOP leaders? WTF.

The new era of criminalizing politics is worsening in the US. Yesterday more than a dozen DOJ law enforcement officials searched Jeff Clark’s house in a pre dawn raid, put him in the streets in his pjs, and took his electronic devices. 1/2

All because Jeff saw fit to investigate voter fraud. This is not America, folks. The weaponization of govt must end. Let me be very clear. We stand by Jeff and so must all patriots in this country. 2/2

Price calls this a Soviet style political assassination attempt:
This is nothing but a soviet style political assassination attempt on @JeffClarkUS. For the crime of wanting to investigate voter fraud, the J6 committee and DOJ brownshirts are trying to destroy him. If this happened in a different country, Liz Cheney would call for invading it. https://t.co/xynOHDoEeW

The DOJ is completely out of control under Biden. And we’ve seen this other times with James O’Keefe and the early morning raids of his home and those who work with him.
It appears that since 2016, the DOJ and FBI have become reliable arms of the Democrat Party and it looks like that’s never going to change.
