A D.C. legal licensure body has swung the gavel at Jeffrey Clark, a former Trump DOJ lawyer, aiming to strip him of his law license for daring to question the 2020 election, as the New York Post reports. The decision reeks of political vengeance, targeting a man who stood firm against the progressive tide. Clark’s fight is far from over, with the DC Court of Appeals as his next battleground.
On Thursday, the D.C. Bar’s Board of Professional Responsibility moved to disbar Clark for his role in pushing states to probe alleged 2020 election irregularities. This one-sentence summary captures the left’s latest attempt to silence dissent. Clark’s 30-day suspension looms, with permanent disbarment hanging over him unless the appeals court intervenes.
Clark, a stalwart in the first Trump administration, served as a DOJ lawyer unafraid to challenge the narrative. He pressed states to investigate voting discrepancies that many Americans still question. The board’s ruling smells like a calculated move to punish conservative voices who refuse to bow to establishment dogma.
During the tense post-election period, Clark urged states to consider appointing new electors to reverse the 2020 results. His actions sparked outrage among Democrats, who accused him of meddling in the peaceful transfer of power. Funny how the left champions “democracy” while trying to crush those who raise legitimate concerns.
In 2021, Democrats in Congress pointed fingers at Clark, claiming that he tried to drag the DOJ into undermining the election. They pushed for special state legislative sessions to scrutinize potential fraud. Yet, their sanctimonious outcry ignores the millions who felt the election was anything but transparent.
Clark wasn’t alone in his skepticism. Other Trump attorneys, like John Eastman and Rudy Giuliani, also faced disbarment for their election challenges. Eastman even penned a memo arguing that then-Vice President Mike Pence could reject swing state votes -- a bold, if controversial, stance.
Trump saw Clark’s potential, briefly considering him for acting attorney general after the 2020 election. This came after Bill Barr resigned in December 2020, having dismissed widespread fraud claims. Barr’s exit left a void Clark was ready to fill, though the establishment clearly had other plans.
“Lawyers cannot advocate for any outcome based on false statements,” the D.C. Bar’s Board of Professional Responsibility declared. False statements? Sounds like a convenient excuse to sideline a lawyer who dared to question the sacred 2020 narrative.
The board didn’t stop there. “He should be disbarred as a consequence and to send a message,” its members insisted. Message received: step out of line, and the progressive machine will grind you down.
Clark fired back, calling the process a “100% politicized DC Bar process.” He’s not wrong -- when the left controls the levers, justice becomes a weapon. His defiance resonates with countless Americans tired of woke witch hunts.
“I received an outpouring of support from thousands of ordinary Americans,” Clark said. The son of a truck driver, he earned his law license against the odds, only to see it targeted by elites. Yet, he remains unshaken, a testament to his resolve.
“I know I did the right thing in 2020,” Clark asserted, standing by his actions. He claims he couldn’t face himself if he hadn’t raised those election questions. That’s the kind of backbone the left can’t stand.
James Burnham, a former colleague of Clark’s, called the ruling an “outrageous weaponization of the bar ethics process.” He’s spot-on -- this could chill any lawyer daring to serve in a conservative administration. The left’s playbook: control the narrative, punish dissent, repeat.
Burnham, who recently left the Department of Government Efficiency to start an AI policy group, warned this precedent “could be turned against any lawyer.” The stakes are high when the legal system becomes a tool for political score-settling. Conservatives must push back, or risk losing more ground.
Clark’s current role as acting head of the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs hangs in the balance. It’s unclear how his suspension will impact his duties. The left’s crusade against him seems designed to disrupt any conservative influence, wherever it lies.
