One day, you’re about to be installed as the Head of the United States Department of Justice by Donald Trump, and the next you’re standing in your driveway in your underpants while authorities execute a search warrant on your home.
At least, that’s what happens if you’re Jeffrey Clark.
The 55-year-old’s Virginia home was raided last month, one day before several former top DOJ officials testified to the January 6 Committee about his alleged involvement in Trump’s failed plot to overturn the 2020 election results.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Bodycam footage from that early morning raid was just released and it shows the disgraced environmental lawyer answering the door in his underwear and being directed to step outside.
“Can I put pants on first?” he asks the federal agents in the video.
“Sir, we gotta clear the house,” one agent responds.
Another adds, “We’re gonna clear the house, and as soon as we clear the house we’ll get you talking to your lawyer and we’ll get some pants on, OK?”

Agents offered to let Clark stand behind his car so that his neighbors couldn’t see him in his undergarments. He asked if he could wait in the garage, but they said no.
Moral of the story: Get dressed before you answer the damn door. Oh, and never attempt a coup d’etat.

Following the raid, Clark whined to Fox News that “12 agents and two Fairfax County police officers went into my house, searched it for three and a half hours and took all of the electronics from my house!”
According to a police report obtained by CNN, the raid was part of an “ongoing fraud investigation” during Clark’s time at the Justice Department, including his alleged attempts to push Trump’s baseless narrative of massive voter fraud and pressure state legislatures to reject election results and declare Trump as the victor instead of Joe Biden.
Now, some tweets…

I feel like we're not talking enough about Jeffrey Clark's house being raided and him handcuffed in his underwear in his driveway

Now I understand why he was so emphatic about letting it be publicly known he was arrested “in his pj’s”…. because that looks a lot like a man who was arrested in his underwear.

this is what’s called being ‘caught with your pants 🩲 down’

Here is a photo of Jeffrey Clark – handcuffed and standing in the driveway pantless – as his house was being raided by authorities.

Um, people, repubs in Virginia, hear ye, hear ye! Try putting on your pants before opening the door. It’s an easy thing to do unless your hands are all messy with your vaseline intensive care lotion.

LOL and eww cuz well ewwwww

This is why his mother told him to always wear clean underpants!

I’ve been a very bad boy. ”I only hire the best people”. This shlub is not the best people.

What a pathetic traitor and creepy goon enabler of Don the Con. Roust all of these treasonous thugs out of their comfy beds, put them on trial, and convict them for participating in the attempted coup. If the low level shock troops can be tried and convicted, as hundreds already have, then do so with monsters like this Clark thing.
Or, as the Don the Con cult loves to chant: Lock him up, lock him up!

The walls are indeed closing in around these traitors. Should happen faster, but the fact it’s happening is making me giddy with glee.

mercifully he is wearing that potato sack of a shirt … just imagine if he wasn’t!

His sad wife’s MuMu. She gonna be pissed off tonight.

I am willing to bet his bowing his head in shame has little to do with the fact that he is in his skivvies and more to do with what he fears they will find!!

I wish people would stop referring to him as an “environmental lawyer.” He’s anti-environment, despite his title at DOJ. He worked to reduce regulations on carbon emissions while in that office. Before that, he represented BP after their oil rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.

Why should he be allowed to have pants? If he were a black criminal, he’d be dead. (If he were a black innocent civilian, he’d probably be dead too.)

That’s a hard 55 yo. I would have guessed at least 65. Conservative douchebags always seems to age so much faster.

It’s all of that excessive TOXICITY flowing throught their bodies. The rallying cry of the GQP :
