Trump tapped attorney from Northeast Philadelphia to push claims of election fraud, report says
Jeffrey Bossert Clark, 53, graduated from Father Judge High School.

Published Jan 23, 2021
As he desperately clung to the notion that he won reelection, former President Donald J. Trump, according to a published report, found another dog that would hunt in a Justice Department attorney born and raised in Northeast Philadelphia. According to a story published Friday in the New York Times, Trump tapped attorney Jeffrey Bossert Clark, a Tacony native and Father Judge High School graduate, to allegedly help him to oust Jeffrey A. Rosen as acting attorney general. Trump, according to the Times, was disgruntled with Rosen because he refused to dig into election results in Georgia.
Clark, 53, head of the Justice Departments environment division under Trump, was introduced to his boss by an unnamed Pennsylvania politician, the Times wrote and had told the president that he agreed that fraud had affected the election results. On Saturday, the paper identified the lawmaker as Republican Rep. Scott Perry, whose district includes Harrisburg and York.The Times described Clark as unassuming and a loyalist and said hed been devising a plan to bolster Trumps false claims about general election results in the state. Trump, the Times wrote, had hoped to replace Rosen with Clark and both attorneys presented their cases to him in a scene sources described as akin to The Apprentice, the reality television show where Trump appeared to be a boss.
Trump ultimately decided against canning Rosen after several Justice Department officials said they would resign if that happened. Clark, according to his Justice Department bio, began his avocation as a high school and college debater and oral advocate at Father Judge High School. Prior to that, he attended St. Leo elementary school in Tacony, where he grew up. Clark earned a masters degree from the Biden School of Public Policy and Administration at the University of Delaware before attending Georgetown Law. He began his career, according to his bio, working as economics analyst for Delawares Department of Finance.
In December, according to the Times, Clark allegedly told Rosen and Deputy Attorney General Richard P. Donoghue that he spent a lot of time reading on the internet and both men were concerned he believed the conspiracy theory that Mr. Trump had won the election. Clark, the Times wrote, allegedly told both men he wanted the department to announce that it was investigating serious accusations of election fraud, but they rejected the idea.

The irony of this can't not be emphasized (although when he went there, it wasn't named that yet - that only happened in 2018 ) -
Clark earned a masters degree from the Biden School of Public Policy and Administration at the University of Delaware
Biden School of Public Policy and Administration at the University of Delaware
It's almost like a this -
The OTHER irony is if one would note where the famous "4 Seasons Total Landscaping" business is located... Yup, in the neighborhood (Holmesburg) adjacent to the neighborhood dear old Mr. Clark grew up in (Tacony).
