Jeffrey Clark plotted to reverse Trump's loss. Now he's a GOP luminary.

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

In a conference room near the Capitol, young conservatives gathered in April to learn how to run for office — how to win and wield government power.

Among the keynote speakers at the summit, hosted by a group devoted to “training America’s future statesmen today,” was Jeffrey Clark, the former senior Justice Department official who in 2020 sought to use federal law enforcement power to undo then-President Donald Trump’s defeat.

Clark directed questions to a spokesperson for the think tank where he works, the Center for Renewing America. The spokesperson, Rachel Cauley, said, “The regime hates those who don’t blindly obey, it insists on criminalizing and destroying those who disagree, and when that doesn’t work, it uses its scribes at The Washington Post to further abuse and intimidate us into submission.”

“It’s a good thing Jeff Clark and the Center for Renewing America are made of tougher stock than that,” Cauley added. “We are fighting alongside every American who has been taunted, abused, tailed, and staked out by our regime media and federal government.”

Clark has sought to move the dispute over his law license to federal court and accused the D.C. Bar disciplinary body of “grasping at straws.” On Twitter, he has called the investigations of Trump and his allies a “preemptive coup” to keep the former president from power and likened the special counsel to Inspector Javert, the merciless police detective pursuing the protagonist of Victor Hugo’s ''Les Misérables.”

if Plan A, bloodless coup, and Plan B, just a bit of blood coup, didn’t work.

Plan C, Insurrection Act based on the Capitol Riots…call in the military, literally kill all dissent.

Evil.

Please arrest him soon, superseding indictment asap!

#1 on my prosecution hotlist…even after all the Kraken lawyers gone equally mad.

The G.O.P. is The United States Nazi Party.

Make no mistake about it, the party itself and all those that support it are fascists through and through. A Nazi by any other name still intimidates, incarcerates and exterminates the same.

This is that.

Jeffrey Clark et al are leaders within the United States Nazi Party.
The GOP is our country's largest criminal organization, and it's good to know that state after state after state is now examining RICO charges against the GOP Nazi perpetrators.

Federal RICO charges for the GOP national organization are long past due. Germany did this long ago.

RICO the GOP!

With Clark acting as José Toribio Merino Castro. Castro was one of the principal leaders of the 1973 Chilean coup d'état, along with General Augusto Pinochet.

Clark was going to call out the military to suppress civilian revolt, just like Castro did in Chile.

And we let him run around teaching others how to destroy our democracy.

Pinochet and Kissinger should be proud that Trump and Putin are imitating them.
