We all now realize that former AG Bill Barr is just a waste of space, but even I did not realize how truly abysmal he truly was. Jeff Clark was serving as Acting United States Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division of the Department of Justice, when he was called to speak with then President Trump over the many accusations of voter fraud in the 2020 election. Clark is now fighting to keep his license to practice the law after he made inquiries into the possible fraud.
During their discussion on Monday, Breanna Morello asked Attorney Clark if he was told to stand down from investigating any of the tips of election fraud.
Jeff Clark: Let me just summarize for your viewers that there is either in the public record or in testimony from my trial, three separate incidents where former Attorney General Barr shut down investigations. One is that Bill McSwain, who was the US Attorney in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, that’s Philadelphia, my hometown, where my mom, who was a poll worker, certainly watched various shenanigans through the years and would bring home those stories to me. This is not a topic that I had no prior exposure to. I also applied to clerk for a federal judge, Clarence Newcomer, who had a major election, non integrity case in Philadelphia, which he helped expose and shut down, called the La Nueva forma, the new way to vote, which involves something like absentee ballots before they were actually illegal, going door to door to collect them. That was a no-no under Pennsylvania law at the time. In any event, back to Bill McSwane. He was the US attorney in Philadelphia, and he said that he had very important and credible election fraud information that he wanted to pursue.
And so he went to Barr and he asked if he could investigate it. And Barr told him, no, don’t investigate it. And if you find anything or you’ve already found anything, turn it over to the attorney general of Pennsylvania who had already pre-announced Brianna that Trump was going to lose in Pennsylvania. So this was like a road to nowhere. McSwane said, look, I’m a military guy. I saluted, even though I disagreed with it. Now, Later, after he left office, after Biden had been inaugurated as President, I think in June of 2021, if memory serves, he sent a letter to President Trump where he exposed this episode.
…The other two episodes are the Jesse Morgan episode where Colonel Tony Schaffer, who was in military intelligence, was ordered to stop his investigation of that incident and other incidents by Bill Barr. We did get that testimony in through expert and fact witness, Harry Haury. He wore both of those hats.
Then the third incident is one that Matt Gaetz gave to us because his former law partner, Larry Keefe, was the US Attorney in in one of the districts of Florida. There had been allegations that Andrew Gillham, who had run for governor, Democrat, was engaged in election shenanigans. Larry Keefe wanted to investigate that, and Bill Barr told him to shut that down.
VISIT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELWe asked for permission from DOJ to have both Larry Keefe and Bill McSwane, two former US attorneys in the Trump administration, to come in and testify, and DOJ blocked that.
