Trump’s White House lawyer admitted to engineering a plan, with the help of top DOJ officials, to prevent any investigation into 2020 election fraud. The DOJ never investigated any of the incidents witnessed by the GOP and the courts cooperated.
Mind you, the Democrats are going after all of Trump’s staffers and lawyers. This latest bombshell revelation was revealed in a court case to disbar Jeff Clark, ex-US Department of Justice official and Donald Trump co-defendant in the Georgia 2020 “election interference” case.
Former Trump Deputy White House counsel Pat Philbin gave his first public testimony about the final days of the Trump presidency since leaving his post in 2021.
Philbin testified that Trump had wanted to replace the leadership of the Justice Department with Jeffrey Clark, a DOJ official who believed the election fraud should be investigated.

“I believe that he felt that he essentially had a duty,” Philbin said, according to the report, of his longtime colleague. “I think Jeff’s view was that there was a real crisis in the country and that he was being given an opportunity to do something about it.”
“When Philbin warned Clark that there would be riots in every major American city if Trump reversed the outcome of the election, Clark responded, ‘Well, Pat, that’s what the Insurrection Act is for,’ Philbin recalled.”
“I tried to explain to him that it was a bad idea for multiple reasons,” Philbin emphasized in his testimony. “He would be starting down a path of assured failure … If by some miracle somehow, it worked, there’d be riots in every major city in the country and it was not an outcome the country would accept.”
One of Trump’s White House lawyers now openly confirms he was secretly working against him to stop the DOJ from investigating 2020 election fraud
This is the Deep State in action to remove Trump

Donald Trump’s deputy White House counsel, Pat Philbin, was nervous.
It was just a few days until Jan. 6, 2021, when Congress was slated to certify Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election, and Trump had suddenly resuscitated a plan to replace the leadership of the Justice Department with Jeffrey Clark, a little known DOJ official who Trump expected to mount a sweeping nationwide effort to help him remain in power.
So Philbin called Clark, a colleague from their days in private practice dating back to the 1990s and tried to talk him out of it.
“I tried to explain to him that it was a bad idea for multiple reasons,” Philbin recalled Tuesday at a long-delayed disbarment hearing for Clark. “He would be starting down a path of assured failure … If by some miracle somehow, it worked, there’d be riots in every major city in the country and it was not an outcome the country would accept.”
It was Philbin’s first public testimony about the chaotic final days of the Trump presidency since he left the White House. Though Philbin has spoken to both the Jan. 6 select committee and the federal grand jury that indicted Trump for his effort to seize a second term, no transcript or recording of his remarks has even been released.
Philbin’s description of his interactions with Clark shed new light on the frenzied effort by Trump to remake the Justice Department into a tool of his bid to cling to power despite losing the election — a remarkable new account more than three years after a mob of pro-Trump rioters stormed the Capitol in his name. His testimony followed Richard Donoghue, a former acting deputy attorney general.
Together, the two men described a White House that had let down all guardrails, with conspiracy theories about election fraud reaching Trump, who was an eager recipient of even implausible claims of fraud. Clark, too, embraced some of those claims, they said. Continue reading…..

This is why We The People better provide the necessary back up.
There were enough traitors in high places to turn legitimate opposition to an obvious steal into the accusation of a coup. We The People were still too drugged up on lies to see through what was happening, and we would have murdered each other over it.
Is there any set of evidence or facts that would cause you to reconsider whether the election was stolen or not? Or does the fact that it was stolen from Trump make all these activities valid?
Similarly, would anything convince you that the Covid-19 “vaccine” is bio-weapon? Perhaps your young, healthy son dropping dead at soccer practice?
Or, how about that same son coming home from school without his penis which was removed without your knowledge or consent?
How’s that “Destroy Trump no matter what the cost” plan working out for you these days?
We should have been dragging traitors to trees the day after the 2020 election. We should have done that long before Trump ran for office, but we didn’t realize what was happening to us.
What was unforeseen … was the escalation of the vindictive witch hunts to include Trump’s attorneys. That’s a new level of evil. Which will shortly be surpassed by yet more evil and wickedness.
yeah its so great now with jobama destroying America

Are we still calling it the White House? How much longer before it gets painted pink with chartreuse shutters?

So, let the fraud stand, intimidated by big city addicts, leftists, illegals, ignorants, anti-Semites, welfare recipients and globalists.

The Politico article is entirely illogical and self contradictory. It reports that the election fraud concerns were never investigated but presumes they are fallacious without substantiation their premise. However, much of the fraud is self evident because a number of states openly and publicly violated their own statutes. Politico’s article is itself abject evidence of the depravity and corruption of Trump’s critics. Trump was the apparent overwhelming favorite, sweeping to a landslide when we watched a series of shenanigans unfold before our very eyes.
As well as biased against DJT evident in its wording

More of the usual fake news. Bill Barr had already investigated the election fraud claims and found them to be baseless. Clark was going to claim election fraud even thought there wasn’t any as part of Trump’s coup plot.
According to an FBI whistle blower who was ready to begin an investigation into the election, Barr forbid him to do so. Plausible deniability…….. Can’t find what y0u don’t look for.
