In a pre-dawn raid Wednesday, armed federal law enforcement agents searched the home of Jeffrey Clark, a former Trump Justice Department official who has emerged as a central figure in the partisan House Select Committee’s investigation into the January 6 riot.
Clark’s name was expected to come up in the Jan. 6 Committee hearing on Thursday.
He served as acting assistant attorney general for the Civil Division during President Trump’s final months in office, where he was the only official willing to investigate credible allegations of fraud.
In a tweet back in March, Clark explained why he has been targeted by the regime.
“I’m a former Trump DOJ official who (like you) was concerned about the 2020 election,” he explained. “Now I’m one of the top targets of the politically motivated J6 Committee.”
My name is Jeff Clark, hated by the Left.

Clark allegedly met directly with the White House to discuss allegations of voter fraud “rather than going through proper channels,” Fox News reported.
According to previous testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Trump considered appointing Clark as attorney general after former AG William Barr showed no interest in pursuing voter fraud allegations after the election, but several top Justice Department officials reportedly threatened to quit, leading Trump to cancel the plan.
The committee subpoenaed Clark in October, and he reportedly invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times during his interview.
Russ Vought, former Office of Management and Budget director and president of the Center for Renewing America, where Clark is a fellow, released a statement Thursday condemning the raid.
“The new era of criminalizing politics is worsening in the US. Yesterday more than a dozen DOJ law enforcement officials searched Jeff Clark’s house in a pre-dawn raid, put him in the streets in his pajamas, and took his electronic devices,” Vought said in the statement. “All because Jeff saw fit to investigate voter fraud. This is not America, folks.“
In an interview earlier this month, Clark said he had no involvement with January 6 “in any capacity,” but did want a “thorough investigation” into allegations of voter fraud.
“This whole hearing process is a Kangaroo Court with no adversary designed to destroy its targets,” Clark told Steve Bannon on June 10.
Stalin would be proud.
Probably trashed the place too; did he have a dog?
Welcome to Beijing!
I hope Trumps’ DOJ in ‘25 raids Liz Cheney’s home daily.
Stalin would be envious this can happen in a country with so many gun owners. About the only thing the 2nd amendment is good for these days is the ability to protect yourself and your family from individual criminals threatening you. Protection against the government is really not possible.
Only Democrats can question elections when they lose.
Not surprising that Merrick Garland, the commissar of the American Cheka would go after another political opponent of the Biden regime. After all, the Cheka is to combat The Counter-Revolution.

Yep. These people doing the raids, and those ordering them-ALL OF THEM-should have armed swat teams breaking down their doors at 5 AM, with CNN cameras and a Washington Post reporter outside, notified in advance as the Leftists are wont to do.
All of them. Every single person of any political party who approved this, every member of the SWAT team, all their supervisors, every damned one of them. All of them.
Handcuff the parents, make them lie face down in the front yard with the children screaming in terror as they look on.
There needs to be ramifications. These people need to know what it feels like. There has to be push back on these scumbags.
They are going to keep doing this as long as we let them, and they know they are free of repercussions.
Who would order this? Garland? The feebees are really pushing their luck.
WTF is going on here. This is insane.
WTF is going on here. This is insane.
Just as this regime is taunting us patriots, this regime is taunting Putin in a very similar way. It will will blow up in their face soon, one way or the other.
We need people who don't get attacked by the Federal government, right?
Fascism on a level that would make Mussolini proud!
I am surprised some of these Trump admin people aren’t given Chilean Helicopter rides.
He's waiting for Chuck Todd and Anderson Cooper to tell him how to think about this..
What was he arrested for? I must have missed it in the article.
