Ex-DOJ Official Called 'Radioactive' After Alleged Election Plot

(Bloomberg) -- The Trump administration’s top environmental lawyer faces career repercussions and possibly ethics probes in the wake of allegations, which he disputes, that he worked with President Donald Trump to try to cast doubt on the 2020 election results.

Jeffrey Bossert Clark led the Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division for two years and served as acting head of the Civil Division during his last four months on the job. The New York Times reported Friday that Clark was involved in a plan to “oust” acting Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen and lend legal support to lawsuits challenging the election results.

Clark resigned from the Justice Department Jan. 14, less than a week before the end of Trump’s presidency, and didn’t have a new job lined up at the time. One legal industry consultant said he’d be “radioactive” on the job market now.

Clark acknowledged meeting with Trump but said he didn’t devise a plan to oust Rosen, or “formulate recommendations for action based on factual inaccuracies.”

1. None of the blglaw firms will touch this idiot

2. I guess they don't have to fire him; he quit on the 14th.

Which is just as well, since he'd have been sacked the instant the NYT story came out. But now he's radioactively unemployed. Good. He can get his shitty unemployment comp and his $600 check like the rest of us.

5. Since he resigned of his own accord and was not terminated,

he wouldn't even be able to receive unemployment benefits, would he?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Probably not, unless there are special rules for federal employees.

But before he joined the DoJ he worked for Kirkland & Ellis and was probably making big bucks. Since they probably won't take his radioactive ass back, I hope he saved up while he was there.

7. Rick Wilson tried to tell him...ETTD.

3. Maybe he can represent Trump. Good idea if he asks for his fee money upfront. nt

4. Oopsie!

Sedition doesn’t look so good on the resume.

8. Waste no time worrying about Jeffrey Clark's prospects

There's always a sinecure in the wingnut welfare network for a shameless bastard who'd run over his own grandmother for a 0.1% reduction in the top tax rate. Clark will pick up a regular paycheck until his radioactive half life has passed and he'll be quietly hired by a white shoe law firm that doesn't mind a person's past as long as he can deliver a legal argument in favor of some oppressive policy or another with a straight face.
