Former DOJ official cooperating with department’s probe into Trump pressure campaign: reports

A former Trump administration Department of Justice (DOJ) official who worked closely with Jeffrey Clark is cooperating with his former employer’s investigation into the former president’s pressure campaign at the DOJ, according to multiple reports.
“We’ve been fully cooperating both with the Department of Justice and the Select Committee, and we’ll continue with that cooperation,” Edward Greim, an attorney for Ken Klukowski, said to CNN.

Klukowski came to work at the DOJ just 36 days before the end of former President Trump’s term, joining the staff of Clark, an assistant attorney general who Trump later weighed installing as attorney general so that he could forward an investigation into the former president’s baseless claims of election fraud.

The move comes after the DOJ has executed warrants on both Clark and John Eastman, a Trump campaign attorney who advocated for former Vice President Mike Pence to buck his ceremonial duty to certify the election results.

In a prior hearing, the House committee investigating that Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol claimed Klukowski had been working with Eastman prior to joining the department and showed evidence suggesting their relationship continued while Klukowski was working under Clark.
Vice Chairwoman Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) presented a Dec. 28 email from Trump ally Ken Blackwell requesting that Pence receive a briefing from Klukowski and Eastman and warning “to make sure we don’t over expose Ken given his new position.”

“This email suggests that Mr. Klukowski was simultaneously working with Jeffrey Clark to draft the proposed letter to Georgia officials to overturn their certified election and working with Dr. Eastman to help pressure the Vice President to overturn the election,” Cheney said.

Klukowski has denied that characterization.

“The Jan. 6 committee falsely accused me on Thursday of being a go-between in a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election,” he said in a statement shortly after that hearing.

“That accusation is false both in its broad outlines and its details. Since the Committee first contacted me, I have cooperated without hesitation, provided it with hundreds of documents, and sat for many hours of recorded depositions.”

Actually we have very good info on why recruitment is down. The biggest reason is that so many minor crimes are now felonies, so that the pool of poor people who can serve is 20% lower. The next biggest reason is the fact we just got out of two twenty year wars, and everyone knows a vet who is broken in body and mind. And another reason is that the GOP is trying hard to stop the DOD from rooting out all the white supremist from the ranks. Some black and brown folks find it unnerving to have to trust their safety to someone who doesn't think they are fully human.

But hey, memes are an effective recruitment tool for certain kinds of folks. For example the grocery store shooter in Buffalo said that he learned about the great replacement from memes. So keep up the hard work. You might get through to someone.

I've got used to these hearings. But just like F1 they take the whole of August off. Man, what am I going to watch?
The DOJ and all the leaks the press can find, plus the J6 panel will be dropping video testimony turds on Trump every week to keep it alive.

this is my dead zone too. no f1, no football (except CFL), and baseball only gets interesting close to the end
Well there is the war and team Ukraine looks about to whip team Russia's ass, now that Uncle Sam and others are arming them with new shit and they've ground them down enough. The stakes are gas prices, food prices, inflation and recession. I figure America needs to win on both fronts, Ukraine and at home, the prospects of keeping the house and having a useful majority in the senate appear to be increasing all the time. FFS keep Donald running around loose for awhile longer, the democrats need all the help they can get!

I was thinking that if the feds were to indict Trump before the election, would he pull out a self pardon? Would it delay his trial until the SCOTUS ruled on it? I'm pretty sure Donald is desperate and stupid enough to give it a shot, it might not go over very well with the public though. Once Donald is indicted he is gonna freak out thrash and scream, the judge will need to muzzle him after indictment. He is gonna use his base like the J6 capitol attack, only in Atlanta on the courthouse steps, or he will try to. His trial in Georgia will be on TV, though the schedule is uncertain, but it will be on all the channels!

Raskin On New Jan. 6 Witnesses: ‘It’s Like A Waterfall Of Truth’
3,365 views Jul 28, 2022 “It’s like a waterfall of truth at this point,” says Rep. Jamie Raskin. “When you have more than a 1,000 witnesses coming in and telling you what happened, it’s the tiny handful of people who are either lying or refusing to participate who begin to feel very nervous about the situation.”

So in return reply as to be expected from the left is name calling. So predictable, gullible and so woke. Who is talking of a civil war? Tribes? Go fix your man bun.
do you have a somehow reduced regard for homosexuals? You are using the terms in an apparent attempt to insult those of us who have made it out because you have thrown us out.
Ejecting us isn’t dignified, but it is kind. No longer bound by the unredeemed sadism of the megacongregation and their distilled spirit of hate, we can recover. I extol their ironic kindness to
all
who
watch

Believing in a benignly negligent god is not a problem. Believing in the impossibility of a god who directs you to
war with those who do not submit -
that is an open-eyed choice to follow a cartoon of Moloch. If there really is something like a final judgment, the zealous are gonna have the surprise of their afterlives.

gonna be some damned long faces in the crowd.

There is reporting that the top Trump homeland security officials J6 texts have been erased too. They are guilty of destruction of evidence and probably other crimes, they were responsible for monitoring domestic terrorist threats and responding to them, they have some explaining to do anyway. The penalty for the cover up is often greater than the crime that was covered up, or so the lawyers say.

DHS is one of the less progressive things the WTC event brought about. This seems like a good time to prune that Bush a bit.

Secret Service data oopsie was bad. This is as bad.
