Fulton County Trump case judge highlights prosecution’s threat to our nation.
Did former President Donald Trump seek the legal opinion of then-Assistant Attorney General Jeff Clark regarding voting irregularities in Georgia, or did Clark offer his analysis without being prompted by the president?
The federal judge overseeing Clark’s case, which will determine whether he will be tried in Fulton County or a Georgia federal court, focused on this question during the recent hearing. This highlights the absurdity and danger of this politically motivated prosecution to the future of our constitutional republic.
Currently, Clark is facing criminal charges in Fulton County, Georgia, after prosecutor Fani Willis obtained a sprawling grand jury indictment against him and 18 co-defendants, including former President Donald Trump. The indictment accuses them of crimes related to alleged interference with the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
A week after the indictment was issued, Clark attempted to move the case to federal court based on a federal statute. This statute allows a criminal prosecution against a federal officer to be transferred to a federal court if it is related to their official duties.
A 2020 Draft Letter to Georgia Lawmakers
In his argument for removal, Clark emphasized that the charges against him were based on a draft letter he presented to his superiors in December 2020. The letter, addressed to Georgia officials, stated that the Department of Justice was investigating election irregularities and expressed concerns about the outcome of the election in multiple states, including Georgia.
According to the indictment, Clark’s drafting of the letter and his attempt to seek authorization to send it constituted a crime. However, Clark argues that he was simply providing his legal analysis and that the case should be removed to federal court.
Drafting a Legal Opinion Letter Is Not a Crime
Rosen and Donoghue, Clark’s superiors, disagreed with his views and refused to sign the letter. The indictment accuses Clark of attempting to commit false statements and writings by presenting the letter and seeking authorization to send it. Clark maintains that even if he violated department protocols, it was within his authority as an assistant attorney general to advise the president on relevant issues.
Judge Jones, however, questioned whether Trump solicited Clark’s opinion or if Clark reached out to the president without being prompted. This line of questioning reveals the concerning nature of this prosecution.
The president, as the head of the executive branch, has the authority to decide whether Clark’s actions were within the scope of his office. By seeking Clark’s advice and discussing the draft letter with him, Trump confirmed that Clark was acting within the color of his position.
If the federal judge rejects Clark’s attempt to move the case to federal court and determines that Clark acted outside the color of his office, it would set a dangerous precedent that undermines not only Clark’s authority but also the authority of the president.

Was Georgia. Clark’s letter truly part of his official duties as an Assistant Attorney General, or was it a personal analysis without being prompted by the former president?
Georgia. Clark argued that the letter was part of his official duties as an Assistant Attorney General, and therefore the case should be transferred to federal court.
The judge, however, questioned whether Clark’s letter was truly part of his official duties or if he was simply offering his personal analysis without being prompted by the former president. This distinction is crucial in determining the legality of Clark’s actions and whether he can be held accountable for any potential wrongdoing.
The fact that this question is at the center of Clark’s case highlights the absurdity and danger of this politically motivated prosecution. The indictment against Clark and his co-defendants, including former President Donald Trump, is based on allegations of interference with the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. This is an incredibly serious accusation and should not be taken lightly.
The prosecution’s case relies heavily on the notion that Clark was acting at the direction of Trump and that he was seeking the legal opinion of the then-Assistant Attorney General regarding voting irregularities in Georgia. However, if it is determined that Clark offered his analysis without being prompted by the president, it raises serious doubts about the validity of the charges against him.
The outcome of Clark’s case will have far-reaching implications for the future of our constitutional republic. If this politically motivated prosecution is allowed to continue unchecked, it sets a dangerous precedent where individuals can be targeted based on their political affiliations rather than their actual actions.
It is essential that we uphold the principles of justice and fairness in our legal system. The case against Clark should be evaluated based on the evidence, not on partisan agendas. The judge overseeing the case must carefully consider whether Clark’s actions were indeed part of his official duties or if they were motivated by personal beliefs.
Regardless of one’s political beliefs, we should all be concerned about the integrity of our legal system. It is important that we have confidence in the fairness and impartiality of our courts. The outcome of Clark’s case will be a test of our commitment to these principles and will shape the future of our constitutional republic. Let us hope that justice is served and that partisan agendas do not prevail in our pursuit of truth and justice.
