You remember Representative Scott Perry, don't you?
He voted against awarding the Congressional Gold Medal to the Capital Police for their actions guarding the Capital (and all the people in it, including Perry) during the January 6 Trump-mob insurrection.
He was also mentioned in that conversation of December 2020 when asked the DOJ to "just say the election was was corrupt + leave the rest to me and the R. Congressmen."
He's also the guy link between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Clark, as reported by the NYTimes:
It was Mr. Perry, a member of the hard-line Freedom Caucus, who first made Mr. Trump aware that a relatively obscure Justice Department official, Jeffrey Clark, the acting chief of the civil division, was sympathetic to Mr. Trump’s view that the election had been stolen, according to former administration officials who spoke with Mr. Clark and Mr. Trump.
Mr. Perry introduced the president to Mr. Clark, whose openness to conspiracy theories about election fraud presented Mr. Trump with a welcome change from the acting attorney general, Jeffrey A. Rosen, who stood by the results of the election and had repeatedly resisted the president’s efforts to undo them.
We're learning more of what Clark did/wanted to do at DOJ and Perry's part in it.
From CNN:
Jeffrey Clark, a Donald Trump-appointed environment law chief at the Justice Department at the center of the former President's efforts to overturn the election, received a high-level intelligence briefing around New Year's 2021 that did little to stop his efforts to prove foreign interference had cost Trump reelection.
Clark is now a major figure in the narrative being written in documents and testimony from former Justice Department officials who were forced to fight off his efforts to orchestrate a coup of leadership at the Justice Department and use it to help the former President.
And:
By late December, as Trump and his allies pushed conspiracies about alleged irregularities that he claimed stole the election from him, Clark told senior Justice officials that he knew of sensitive information that indicated Chinese intelligence used special kinds of thermometers to change results in machines tallying votes, people briefed on the matter said. The Justice Department by then had made clear it found no evidence of vote-changing in the election.Watch for that "sensitive information" part. Where did he get it?
After expressing skepticism over the IC's analysis, this happened:
Clark also told colleagues he was in touch with sources who knew more, including someone Justice officials later determined was Rep. Scott Perry, a Trump ally from Pennsylvania who helped Clark get in touch with the former President. Justice Department rules limit contact between department officials and the White House, and Clark's contacts with Trump came as a shock to his superiors. Justice Department officials are also prohibited from discussing investigations with people outside of the department.[Emphasis added.]
Clark asserted that Scott Perry, a Member of the House from Southwestern PA knew more than the Intelligence Community of the United States of America.
And so here are my questions; What did Scott Perry know? How did he come to know it? What did he tell Jeff Clark?
