Ex-Mueller prosecutor: Court "gaffe" reveals evidence of Scott Perry's "complicity" in Jan. 6 scheme [View all]

Court documents that were inadvertently unsealed on Wednesday and later taken down revealed communications between Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., and former DOJ official Jeff Clark, one of Trump’s unindicted co-conspirators in D.C. who played a key role in former President Donald Trump’s post-election efforts, according to Politico.

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, which heard litigation over special counsel Jack Smith’s effort to access Perry’s cell phone, on Wednesday unsealed documents related to the case, including a lower court’s opinion that described and quoted the text messages Smith had been seeking. The unsealed opinion was removed from the court’s public docket later on Wednesday, suggesting it was posted inadvertently, according to the report.
Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, who served on special counsel Bob Mueller’s team, tweeted that the court’s “gaffe” shows “evidence of Perry J6 complicity and how the DC panel ruled in a way to insulate him from liability” by overruling the lower court’s decision allowing Smith to access the evidence.

“This is a big deal,” Weissmann wrote, arguing that the messages show that “Perry was up to his eyeballs in support of J6 insurrection.”
