Jeffrey Clark lawyer busted for trying to pull a fast one on judge during DA Willis attack

Appearing on MSNBC with host Yasmin Vossoughian, author and journalist Michael Isikoff accused the lawyer for Jeffrey Clark of lying about what is in his book "Find Me the Votes" as part of his attack on Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis during a nationally televised hearing on Friday.

Speaking with the host, the journalist singled out Clark attorney Harry McDougal for waving around his book and "misrepresenting" what he wrote about Donald Trump's attempts to undermine the 2020 presidential vote total in Georgia that is central to the RICO case brought by Willis.

"Let me just ask you, were you surprised to see your book cited yesterday? Then we will get into the details of how it may have not necessarily been accurate," host Vossoughian prompted.

"Look, this is not the first time the Trump lawyers have waved around a copy of 'Find m Me the Votes'. Happy to see, it's great for business," he joked before adding, "But that said, they keep misquoting the book and misstating it."

"The reason it came up yesterday is, Mr. McDougal, the lawyer for Jeffrey Clark, one of the defendants in this case, quoted from the book jacket that we had exclusive access to thousands of internal documents, text messages, audio recordings and other material — trying to imply that Fani Willis or the district attorney's office had provided us this exclusive access from grand jury material and other investigative files. Completely wrong," he accused.

"They obviously did not read the book closely because if they checked chapter six, it is quite clear where this material came from," he elaborated. "It is from sources at Tomotley, the South Carolina plantation, owned by Lin Wood one of the -- where a lot of the Trump lawyers, Sidney Powell, and others including Michael Flynn were gathering, concocting these wild conspiracy theories that were then used by Trump and his lawyers to promote their 'Stop the Steal' project."

"It had nothing to do with Fani Willis," he stated. "It was quite significant, there are audio recordings that we have in the book."

After watching a clip of McDougal in action, he added, "I was watching it in real time. You know, again, great to see him waving around the book, but totally misrepresenting the contents. This is not the first time they've done it."
