DC bar panel finds Jeffrey Clark violated ethics rules in backing Trump election challenge

Athree-member panel of the DC Bar determined on Thursday that former Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark violated ethics rules while aiding former President Donald Trump's efforts to challenge the 2020 election results.

The determination followed testimony from Clark's ex-Department of Justice colleagues, who asserted that he had sought to use the DOJ to advance the election disputes, according to Politico. Panel chair Merril Hirsh highlighted that the determination was "preliminary" and that Clark still has an opportunity to change its mind. Should the committee remain firm in its findings, however, Clark could face disbarment.

The D.C proceedings are far from his only legal woes, however, as Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis named his as one of Trump's codefendants in her own election probe. His efforts to move the case to federal court have been unsuccessful.

I watched a lot of the hearing. For the committee members to sit there and listen to the evidence of election fraud, and still rule that Clark's position was unethical shows that the decision was baked-in and Clark never had a chance.

Note the disparate treatment of one Kevin Clinesmith.

I hope Trump finds a real AG that will go after these commies with vengeful justice.

Ted Cruz? Mark Levin?

Paging Al Gore. What happened in Florida?

EVERYONE knows the 2020 election was stolen, but the left wont allow you to say it because its true..after all, the left is allowed to say the 2000 election was stolen, the 2004 election was stolen, and the 2016 election was stolen..and that is fine for them to say because that’s their opinion..but God forbid you even say that the 2020 election was stolen, than all hell breaks loose

[Jane Long]

More out-of-control leftist lawfare.

CA just disbarred Trump attorney John Eastman, this week, for doing his job.

Banana Republic.

Two seperate judicial systems is no judicial system.

[Singermom]

So if Trump wins (even with the dems cheating) the dems better NOT challenge the elections.

You do know the dems have already said they will NOT allow the electors to seat Trump. Oops, sounds like election denying and challenging by the dems even now. Disbar them all and jail them for even THINKING abt denying the election. We do NOT want to harm our DEMOCRACY.

Eastman and this

Totalitarianism.

Cannot even question the junta.

Attorney General Clark, under Trump.

The only way you believe that auditing an election is “reversing the result of an election” is if you know the election is stolen and an investigation will remedy it.

I wish I thought it would definitely be lawyers fixing the problem.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

The DC judicial system has been busy persecuting Republicans. It’s become a blood sport in the District of Columbia.

Haven’t heard a peep out of the Republican leadership or Republican appointed judges.

Vote Integrity

Just like the medical boards pulling doctor’s license for “covid disinformation” they are now using the bar to threaten any lawyers who dare assist Trump with losing their license to practice. These dirtbags need to be dealt with and the sooner the better.

[adorno]

A DC bar or DC judge/court ruling on any republican, is like Putin issuing a ruling on an American reporter arrested just for being American.

It’s also the same as Adam Schiff ruling on anything related to Trump.

How come the only brave man we have is Donald Trump?
