| The Persecution of Jeffrey Clark |
| 2021-12-09 |
| [HumanEvents] On Wednesday, December 1st, the January 6th Select Committee in the House of Representatives recommended that former Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark be held in criminal contempt. The facts, in short, are these: Clark was brought in for a deposition by the committee on November 5th. He appeared with his attorney, who presented the committee with a 12-page legal memorandum explaining that he could not testify or produce documents due to the need to assert executive privilege and other privileges. The committee, chaired by Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), rejected outright Mr. Clark’s claims of privilege. Now, despite extensive legal correspondence from Clark’s lawyer, and a promise that Clark would come in for a deposition to invoke the Fifth Amendment this weekend, the committee decided to push for Clark to be held in criminal contempt. Contrary to what legal analysts on MSNBC might suggest, Clark is the victim of a particularly pernicious legal witch hunt. The January 6th Committee should drop its contempt recommendation and cease its lawless harassment of Clark. If it will not, the members of that committee must face consequences if and when Republicans take back the House in 2022.

| #4 According to the article, this Jan. 6 committee is not legally constituted. Moreover, the Dems are threatening to issue criminal contempt charges for not testifying before this sham committee before the Executive Privilege issue has been decided in the courts. The Dems surely must(?) realize they are going to have a rough time in the 2022 Congressional elections and this B.S. committee is not a winning strategy. |
