Fulton County Judge Reveals How Dangerous This Prosecution Is
Margot Cleveland


Did former President Donald Trump ask then-Assistant Attorney General Jeff Clark’s legal opinion concerning Department of Justice options for addressing voting irregularities in Georgia, or did Clark volunteer his legal analysis on the question without the president’s prompting?

The federal judge presiding over Clark’s removal case, who will decide whether Clark must defend himself in the Democrat stronghold of Fulton County or in a Georgia federal court, focused on that question during last week’s hearing. In doing so, the judge revealed just how crazy—and dangerous—this political prosecution is to the future of our constitutional republic.

Currently, Clark faces criminal charges in Fulton County, Georgia, after get-Trump prosecutor Fani Willis obtained a sprawling grand jury indictment against him and 18 co-defendants, including former President Donald Trump. That mid-August indictment charged the defendants with supposed crimes related to “alleged postelection interference with the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.”

A week after the indictment dropped, Clark sought to remove the criminal case against him to federal court, based on a federal statute, codified at § 1442(a)(1). That removal statute provides that a “criminal prosecution that is commenced in a State court” against an “officer” of the United States or any federal agency may “remove” the case to a federal court if the prosecution is “for or relating to any act under color of such office…”

This case is more than a political witch hunt. It is an attempt to insert a "poison pill" into the executive branch of the federal government to prevent the president's staff members from acting in any way counter to the expressed interests of the Democrats.  Anyone who takes a staff position with a GOP president will now have to think twice about taking any action that Dems will find politically harmful. For example, what if a presidential staff attorney finds what he thinks is a loophole to allow the deportation of asylum seekers?  He will be indicted by some local court in a "sanctuary city" jurisdiction. 

Meanwhile, they use the entire US justice and intelligence network to go after their political enemies.

What can we do about it? It’s up to the people at this point.

I think the people are waking up, if the polls are any indication. Indicting someone is supposed to have the effect of turning the person politically toxic, but most people, including the crucial independents, are seeing it for what it really is.
