honestly, kind of nondescript, bureaucrat, political appointee, not a household name. washington runs on these people more or less. except this guy, this under the radar lawyer, that man that we showed you on the screen, is the single person who more than anyone save for donald trump himself came closest to pulling off an actual coup earlier this year. jeffrey clark. you may remember he served as the acting head of the civil division of the doj under trump, a position he kind ever fell backwards into as people left. and it was in that position that he hatched a plot to oust then acting attorney general jeffrey rosen, become a.g. himself with trump's support, and then use the full power of the department of justice to question the legitimacy of the 2020 election. had he succeeded, if it had gone off, it almost certainly would have thrown the country into a full-blown constitutional crisis as the committee puts it in that
