Summary

The Washington Post and the New York Times reported that Trump planned to oust Acting Attorney General Rosen so he could install a DOJ Official named Jeffrey Clark as AG so Clark could help him corruptly overturn the Georgia election results. What are the next steps to address a situation where a president of the United States recruited a top DOJ Official to participate in a criminal conspiracy to corruptly overturn election results? Clark should be subpoenaed by both Congress and a grand jury empaneled to investigate Trump's attempts to steal the election. When Clark inevitably invokes either executive privilege or his 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination, here is how how issues will play out.

0:00.0	So there's new reporting out that Donald Trump was recruiting co-conspirators from the upper
0:07.7	echelons of the Department of Justice to help him overturn the Georgia election results, to help him steal the Georgia election.
0:17.0	Let's talk about what the Department of Justice and the incoming attorney general must do.
0:27.3	Because holding Donald Trump and his co-conspirators accountable, like justice matters. Hey all, Glenn Kirchner here. So just when you think you can't be surprised at the criminal
0:56.3	depravity of Donald Trump, he actually manages to take his criminal conduct to new heights.
1:05.0	And we learned about what he was doing in recent weeks to try to hold on to power.
