2026/05/13 The #ToddBlanche #DOJ files a new lawsuit, United States v. #Fox (26-cv-01658) District Court, District of Columbia. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/73338949/united-states-v-fox/
Fox here is Hamilton P. Fox III, is the District of Columbia Disciplinary Counsel, the lead lawyer of the disciplinary arm of the highest (state-analog) court in D.C. They also sue D.C. and that Court, in Federal Court, which is also located in D.C. (This is America's revenge on Ireland/Ireland + UK/GB/England politically/geographically-inspired confusion. For bonus round, see that NY State's entry level courts are called the Supreme Courts.)
Here the DOJ attempts to argue that holding US Government Lawyers to professional standards needs to be declared illegal and unconstitutional. And that's just crazy-pants vitriol from the we-drunk-the-Kool-Aid-so-you-are-not-the-boss-of-us cultists.
Who is their poster child? Former Assistant Attorney General #JeffreyClark (who worked at the time on environmental issues, not election investigations) who made contra-factual efforts to overturn the 2020 election and tried to interfere in the Georgia results and was nearly made the top DOJ attorney before everyone threatened to walk out.

- https://www.wonkette.com/p/trump-doj-official-wanted-georgia-legislature-to-get-to-coup-ing-for-constitutionJust as Jeffrey Clark's coup attempt was a job interview to be #Trump's Attorney General, so this farkakta #lawsuit is a job interview for Todd Blanche, who replaced Pam Bondi as top lawyer the previous month and faces an upcoming confirmation vote in the Senate.
What do they argue?
- Any state regulation of feds violates Supremacy Clause
- Recommending disbarment was discrimination
- The President has the power to make lawyers act corruptly, so there! -

For instance, an attorney #ethics panel in Washington recommended last year that #JeffreyClark, a senior #DOJ official during Trump's first term as president, be #disbarred for conduct involving dishonesty.
Clark sought to enlist the DOJ in Trump's failed attempts to overturn his #2020election loss based on false claims of widespread voter fraud. A DC appeals court has yet to make the final determination on #disbarment.

Outrageous. Expected. Despicable.
#Trump has pardoned dozens of allies accused of trying to overturn his 2020 election loss, including #RudyGiuliani, #MarkMeadows, #JeffreyClark & #SidneyPowell, a top #DOJ official said Monday.
Trump, in a proclamation dated on Friday, said the move would end "a grave national injustice" & "continue the process of national reconciliation”

The D.C. bar association has recommended Jeffrey Clark be removed. The fascists can bark all they want but facts remain facts and Clark, like Giuliani before him, knew he was peddling lies. They knew they were wasting the court's time. Giuliani was worse, for trying his case in parking lots, but Clark also deserves to be disbarred.

The new #indictment …deletes all references to… fmr #DOJ ofcl #JeffreyClark.
Clark held a Senate-confirmed post as head of DOJ’s #Environmental & #NaturalResources Division [despite previously arguing for LESS regulation on carbon emissions] & was serving as the acting head of DOJ’s Civil Division [w/zero qualifications] at the end of the #Trump admin when Trump considered a plan to install Clark as acting AG.

Clark also alleges that #NathanWade "obviously lied" (eh hem, mr. attorney, you require strong corroborating proof to establish perjury not just an “obviously”) under oath.

Like what the #DOJ has on #RudyGuliani & how they can use it on Trump, depending on what the Supremes do next.

...so is #JeffreyClark and #JohnEastman. And #Mark Meadows is definitely thinking about flipping now.
And Harrison Floyd and Trevian Kutti? They're not smiling so much now.
I wonder if ANY of #Trump's co-defendants are stupid enough to take the fall for him now. If #SidneyPowell flipped, NO ONE is that much of a true believer.
PS Remember, pardons are impossible in this case. And he's not helping ANY of them in any other way. -
