"The Karen of criminal defendants": Experts trash indicted Trump co-defendant's "entitled" demand

Legal experts called out former Trump Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark after he asked for an emergency stay of criminal proceedings against him in Fulton County and demanded a response from a judge within hours.

An attorney for Clark, a former environmental Justice Department lawyer that former President Donald Trump sought to elevate to acting attorney general to pursue his debunked election fraud claims, filed an emergency motion on Tuesday seeking to prevent Fulton County District Attorney Fani Wilis from issuing a warrant for his arrest after he was indicted by a grand jury alongside Trump and 17 others on racketeering charges.

Clark, who like several other co-defendants is also seeking to move the case to federal court by arguing that the indictment relates to his official duties as a federal official, asked U.S. District Judge Steven Jones to respond by 5 pm on Tuesday to avoid "the choice of making rushed travel arrangements to fly into Atlanta or instead risking being labeled a fugitive."

Jones rejected Clark's request and gave Willis until 3 pm on Wednesday to respond and will not allow Clark to file a reply.

Too many judges, too many defendants and yes too many charges (although this one I understand).

How do you all keep up with this without a spreadsheet?

Bullshit D.A. Willis gave Clark and the 18 others 2 weeks to turn themselves in to the
Fulton County Jail.

“Keep in mind, defendants can turn themselves in at any time,” the sheriff’s office said.
“The jail is open 24/7.”

This is going to be a thing of beauty I suspect.

If the judge has any sense of humor, he will issue his ruling at 10 am on Friday.

But looking at Clarke's claims, hoo boy. He wants to remove non federal defendants to federal court? He wants immunity from state law simply because he was a federal employee? So I guess he could rob a bank, or kill someone with impunity?

The guy is a Moran in the first degree.

The majority of criminal defendants in our society are men, the majority of demanding authoritarians in our society are men, the majority of people charged in Georgia in the current conspiracy are men.

Salon has a long history of sexism and I am not surprised to see them dredge up Karenism to sell their site..

What ever happened to that misogynist character, (H. Goodman, was it?) who wrote the anti-Clinton articles Salon loved to publish?
