I'd like to see that Rep Scott Perry, PN, who picked Clark out as Co-Conspirator for Trump to be a potential yes man head on the DOJ go to prison with the rest of these criminals.

"Just following orders" has not been a valid excuse since Nuremberg.

How disturbing to think of the number of spineless, amoral toadies floating around TrumpWorld, hoping that they will get some great, powerful job and all they have to do is completely debase themselves in service to a mentally ill maniac.

To paraphrase Monty Python:

Clark: He turned me into a subservient lackey. I got better...

Basically, Clark's trying out a Fuhrer befiehl defense.

Gee, a justice department official close to the top who can't think for himself. Oh, now I got it-it was the 2rump administration.

funny how the 'knives come out'
right before the blame is finally meted out...

like watching a fishbowl full of piranhas
go at one another with a little blood in the
water...

Pennsylvania

Wisconsin

Arizona
