Jeffrey Clark's Lawyer Had A TV Fear That Chris Hayes Turned Into Brutal Reality

The MSNBC host teased an attorney for the former Trump DOJ official for name-checking the network during a disbarment hearing.

MSNBC s Chris Hayes made a mockery of Jeffrey Clark  after a lawyer for the Donald Trump ally and former Department of Justice official worried aloud that clips from his clients disbarment hearing would wind up on the network. (Watch the video below.)

Clark, who could potentially lose his law license for his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, appeared in front of a three-person panel of the D.C. Bars Board on Professional Responsibility on Wednesday.

Clark is one of 18 co-defendants charged alongside the former president in the Georgia election interference case, and has pleaded not guilty. Hes also  identified as an unindicted co-conspirator in the federal election interference case against Trump.

Hayes noted that Clarks lawyer Charles Burnham tried to strike a deal at the hearing so Clark could avoid repeatedly invoking his Fifth Amendment rights.

And he said he wanted to do so in order to avoid a very specific outcome, said Hayes, before flipping to a clip of Burnham saying hed prefer to avoid us all being on MSNBC for no good reason.

Suffices to say, that ploy did not work, Hayes said.

The MSNBC host later tossed to several clips of Clark invoking his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination in response to questions at the hearing.
