Former DOJ Official Jeffrey Clark to Plead the 5th Amendment for Crimes he Committed w/Donald Trump

In a stunning turn of events, former top Department of Justice official Jeffrey Clark indicated through his attorney that he is prepared to invoke his 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination. Here is why he undoubtedly has a right against self-incrimination for the conspiratorial crimes he committed with Donald Trump designed to corruptly overturn the result of the presidential election. Also, the fact that a former DOJ official needs to plead the 5th makes clear that the Department of Justice MUST criminally investigate one of their own former officials. To fail to do so would be a gross example of cronyism and governmental corruption.

I don't pretend to know how the law works, but it sure seems like the laws make it very easy for a crook to commit crimes then get away with it. This is beyond disgusting, I do hope the DOJ investigates him and he is made accountable for his crimes.
