Meet Jeffrey Clark. He’s about to get himself charged for criminal contempt by the Jan 6 committee if he doesn’t show up in ten days time.

What was his role in post-election fuckery? Amonng other things, trying to get the Georgia Legislature to interfere with the democratic process and get them to appoint new slates of electors, and hoping other contested states would follow suit. This practice of nullifying electors seems to be the preferred way in which Trump could have completed his coup. That mechanism was rejected by then acting AG Jeffrey Rosen, and Clark almost found himself AG as a result.

Just another example of how we could have lost all the marbles if the norms of our democracy were shattered. And we are sadly not out of peril.
