EASTMAN BOMBSHELL - the warrant was from the OIG

[Effete Snob]

That crackpot Eastman has filed a motion to get his phone back:

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22071050-john-eastman-court-filing

Within that filing it notes that the phone was seized pursuant to a warrant obtained by the DoJ Office of Inspector General.

The OIG doesn’t investigate crimes in general. The OIG investigates irregularities in the workings of the DoJ itself.

In other words the DoJ OIG is investigating the activities of persons WITHIN the DoJ (past and/or present)

Or did he refuse.

He was subpoenaed:

Kenneth Klukowski, former Senior Counsel to Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark, was involved in drafting a letter that urged legislatures in certain states to delay certification of the election, according to the report recently released by the Senate Committee on the Judiciary. The report also states that Mr. Clark contacted Mr. Klukowski to prepare for an Oval Office meeting with the former President that took place on January 3rd, 2021

1. Verrrry interesting!

[Effete Snob]

2. If there are remaining moles

They have to root them out first.

[agingdem]

3. Ken Klukowski

worked at the DOJ..

[Bev54]

6. Yep first one comes to mind. Everybody has been trying to figure out

how he got dropped into the DOJ to work for Clark. He and Eastman are cohorts so must have found something or maybe Klukowski has turned.

[Effete Snob]

10. Did he testify previously?

Or did he refuse.

12. I am not really sure if he did or not or whether he took the 5th.

I was thinking more about it, what if it is the IG for DOJ who was doing the investigation. It was their office that raided Clark and took Eastman's phone. I need to just wait, I guess, driving myself crazy.

[agingdem]

15. I was hoping it was Cipolione but that's been shot down

it's got be Klukowski or not..I wonder which committee member is going take the lead..any ideas?

[Bev54]

16. Raskin was supposed to up next but now it is a free for all.

[gab13by13]

19. Let Liz take the lead.

[Dan]

25. Mark Meadows...

Is my guess - I figure he’s too chickenshit to not try and cut a deal.

[agingdem]

26. Jake Sherman says Cassidy Hutchinson

and aide to Mark Meadows..

[Dan]

27. But she has already been testifying,,,, if memory serves.

[agingdem]

30. she did.. the pardons..

Daily Beast says Hutchinson...she changed lawyers recently...I think she swapped Trumpy lawyer for another...now giving up on Klukowski

[Eyeball_Kid]

32. Hutchinson doesn't fit the size of the letters

on the marquee.

[agingdem]

13. no..

he was subpoenaed but hasn't testified publicly..

14. I've been wondering if there are still a few, throwing sand in the gears.

4. Ruh-Roh?

Is it time for ?

[WiVoter]

5. A Mole In The Justice Department?

Hmmmm. I don’t know about that. What say you DU?

Edited to add, maybe I don’t really get this. I’m not always the sharpest tool in the shed.

[Effete Snob]

7. Or a former official

Such as Clark.

[WiVoter]

9. Oh Boy!!

Whee!! 🍿

[wishstar]

8. May be investigating Jeffrey Clark's attempt to become AG so he could falsely claim election fraud

[Effete Snob]

11. Yup

Could be

[emulatorloo]

17. Yeah, that makes sense to me as well

[Samrob]

18. YES!! It's about time. I have been screaming about cleaning house in the DOJ since Biden wom.

There are imbeds inside, HRC haters, and Trump lovers. I hope Garland can get the job done. You just know Rudy has links inside there as well as in NYC AG office. There are a few Executive Departments that need a good house-cleaning too.

[Evolve Dammit]

20. An aside, but what happened with SDNY disbanding Grand Jury against 45 after a year??

[cloudboy07]

21. I watch the vote counting ! Didn't Hawley & Cruz try to stop the vote count?

[gab13by13]

22. Is Bill Barr still in the country?

Did someone squeal on Putin funding the insurrection? Now, that would need tight security.

[Effete Snob]

23. He got out of the DoJ when the getting was good

[Beastly Boy]

31. I am no fan of unfounded speculations, but the implications of your question are delicious!

Considering that the investigation of Jeffrey Clark is being conducted by the IG's office in charge of investigating the internal affairs of DOJ, your mention of Bill Barr (I believe he had something to do with certain alleged irregularities within DOJ at one point) is intriguing.

Even I can't resist salivating over the possibilities! You get my vote for the boldest and most creative speculation of the day!

[Eyeball_Kid]

33. A Russian connection. Always a possibility.

Perhaps there’s a report about Trump talking to Putin just before or during J6.

[lefthandedskyhook]

24. Sharp catch!

Even if clark is not the target; this legitimately obtained evidence will likely convict or turn him

[James48]

28. Interesting.

So- was Eastman billing the US Government for his services? If so, that would entitle the OIG to review his billing records, and what he claimed taxpayer money to pay. That is one remote possibility-
