December 4, 1969: Black Panther Party comrades Fred #Hampton and Mark #Clark assassinated by the Chicago #Police and #FBI.
“I BELIEVE I’M GOING TO DIE DOING THE THINGS I WAS BORN TO DO. I BELIEVE I’M GOING TO DIE HIGH OFF THE PEOPLE. I BELIEVE I’M GOING TO DIE A REVOLUTIONARY IN THE INTERNATIONAL REVOLUTIONARY PROLETARIAN STRUGGLE.“
“When the #House returns, we expect Speaker #McCarthy to advance a bill to the House Floor for an up-or-down vote that supports #Ukraine, consistent w/his commitment to making sure that Vladimir #Putin, #Russia & #authoritarianism are defeated,” reads a joint statement from House Democratic Leader #HakeemJeffries (D-NY), Democratic Whip Katherine #Clark (D-MA), Caucus Chair Pete #Aguilar (D-CA) & Vice Chair Ted #Lieu (D-CA).
The false statement of election fraud letter that #JeffClark wrote to #Georgia & other states incriminates him in #Jan6 cases in #DC & GA.
Clark's lawyer told the court that Clark drafted the letter only after he was pressed to do so by #Trump.
“They say he was acting outside of his lane. The president put it in his lane.” - MacDougald
This will not exonerate #Clark or get his case removed to #FederalCourt (his atty literally presented no evidence).
JUST IN: In a new affidavit, Jeff #CLARK say he played a larger than previously known role in crafting Mike #Pence's defense to Louie Gohmert's lawsuit days before #Jan6
Clark also expands, for the first time I'm aware of, on his relationship with Rep. Perry, who introduced him to #Trump. https://t.co/56r0BQjzwN
@gemelliz#DougFord is not firing #Clark and is blaming the feds for the housing problem. Still haven’t heard if Ford is mandating developers to build affordable housing or any penalty if they don’t do so.
When will Minister #clark resign? The #greenbeltscandal was his mistake. If he didn’t know what his chief of staff was doing, he’s incompetent as the #Housing minister. But more, he’s only implemented 3/55 recommendations from the #ontario#housingaffordabilitytaskforce report. Hardly the record of success
"#Clark’s emailed draft letter to [#Georgia officials asking for a slate of #FakeElectors... 'was not based on fact.' ...what he was 'proposing is nothing less than the United States Justice Department meddling in the outcome of a presidential election.' Clark responded: 'I think a lot of people have meddled in this election' — essentially admitting what he was up to.
> Former Justice Department official Jeffrey #Clark has surrendered to #Georgia authorities after being charged in the #racketeering case along with former President Donald #Trump and 17 others last week in connection with efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
New: A group of former GOP judges/prosecutors/state/federal officials have filed a proposed amicus brief against Mark #Meadows and Jeff #Clark removing their #Georgia indictments to federal court, including J. Michael Luttig and former MA Gov. Bill Weld. #legal#TrumpIndictmenthttps://t.co/i8bmUTCG6K
‟A federal district court judge turned down requests from two co-defendants in the Georgia racketeering case involving former President Trump to transfer jurisdiction of their cases to federal court.”
Clark "seeks to avoid inconvenience & unpleasantness of being arrested..but provides this Court with no legal basis to justify those ends"
K Cheney: "could charitably be characterized as unusual," Willis says & urgency behind Clark's removal effort is entirely of his own making+notes #Trump voluntarily agreed to be arrested
In his motion for emergency stay of #Fulton County prosecution, Jeff #CLARK says he wants to avoid
"the choice of making rushed travel arrangements to fly into Atlanta or instead risking being labeled a fugitive"
He wants decision by 5pm
The judge handling efforts by #Trump's codefendants to remove their cases to federal court gives #FaniWillis until tomorrow at 3pm to respond to Clark's motion to stay the proceedings. He won't permit Clark to reply.
"Deliberately grounded on a tiny reef in the #SouthChinaSea, part of an island chain claimed by the two Asian countries, the #BRPSierraMadre is now the unlikely base for a detachment of Filipino marines who stand guard over the atoll, scanning the turquoise waters for Chinese ships." #AyunginShoal#SecondThomasShoal#Philippines
#JeffreyClark has not been indicted by the #SpecialCounsel, #JackSmith…. But Smith has said his investigation is ongoing. A DA in #Georgia is also probing Clark’s actions. And a #DCBar disciplinary office is pursuing #ethics charges against him that could ultimately strip him of his #law license. The #charges, filed by the D.C. Bar’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel last summer, allege that #Clark engaged in dishonest conduct & attempted to interfere w/ “the administration of #justice.” #democracy
