Jeffrey Clark, a Justice Department official appointed by former President Donald Trump, told senior officials that China used thermostats to change ballots in the 2020 presidential election.

In a recently released email originally sent December 2020, Clark asked his superiors - including acting attorney general Jeffrey Rosen and deputy Richard Donoghue - to look into "foreign election interference issues."

Clark claimed hackers had evidence that "a Dominion machine accessed the Internet through a smart thermostat with a net connection trail leading back to China."

He said he hoped to use information gathered by US intelligence to determine whether the thermometers could make digital contact with voting machines in the United States.

Has he been getting drunk with MTG?

1. *gasp* Is that what the Ivanka Trump trademarked Chinese voting machines are capable of???

You know how they project every damn thing they do onto the left.

[doc03]

2. So there you go, proof Trump really

won in 2020.

[NurseJackie]

3. Next they'll be saying it's Alexa, or Siri, or Google.

[Me.]

10. Didn't They Already Say It Was Google?

[NurseJackie]

11. I wouldn't be surprised.

Was it in reference to Google (the company) or the "Hey Google!" smart speakers?

[Bev54]

4. Jackasses like him show the need for all govn't agencies to properly vet

people they hire. If someone is so bloody susceptible to bullshit should not be a lawyer, let alone in the DOJ,

[bahboo]

5. yeah...that makes sense....

says magats across America...

[twodogsbarking]

6. Are microwave ovens still spying on us?

Y'all 'member that dontcha.

[Champp]

13. Shhhhhhhhhh!

Q don't want anybody to know.

[paleotn]

35. Bwahaha! How could we forget?

50. Mine Heard Me Talking About Replacing It Last Week

It tried to nuke me the other day. Went full HAL on me...I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

It didn't like when I sang "A Bicycle Built For Two"...but then again, my parents saved LOTS of money on my voice lessons.

[rickyhall]

7. I can't think of anything to say. I gave up my tin-foil hat back in the '70s with my CB radio.

8. The thermostat theory was started by a guy named Jovan Hutton Pulitzer aka Jeffry Jovan Philyaw

From a RW website:

In Georgia, Jovan Hutton Pulitzer, an inventor and IT expert, raised concerns about devices such as a “cheap Chinese smart TV with WiFi” or a thermostat connected to the internet that creates vulnerabilities in the entire system.

9. Never thought I'd live in a Mad Magazine.

Everytime I think I've heard the craziest thing ever...the QAnon idiots take it to another level.

Beam me up Scotty. There is no intelligent life here.

[Hortensis]

14. A recurring thought. One of those serial comics that won't die.

[Champp]

12. Free advice for Republicans

Take the damn thermostats out of your asses, whack yourselves upside the head with them, start thinking, and stop supporting lying, cheating, treasonous fascist pigs.

Trust me, your life (and everyone else's) will improve.

[Retrograde]

15. Scratching my head

Like most of my fellow Californians, I voted by mail last time. My ballot, which was marked by pen, was fed along with others into an electronic reader that tallied the votes for the gazillion races we like to have on every election day. Just when and how do the thermostats come into it? Assuming our county buildings actually have such modern technology, that is, and aren't still using the old-fashioned bimetal thermostats.

Do these people actually think these things through? Do they have any understanding of how stuff works on this planet? And if they believe that internet-connected thermostats somehow communicate with some unknown entity in China, should we even tell them about smart refrigerators?

[Lonestarblue]

16. No wonder he never made partner at his former law firm.

He is stark raving mad—fits right in with the Trump crowd.

[dexdah]

17. Damage Dominion Voting System's reputation

So that states purchase ES&S machines. Interesting how far polls were off in states using ES&S voting machines: Maine, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina. Twenty-two of 25 states TFG won in 2020 used ES&S machines.

[mpcamb]

19. Hope Dominion sues his trumpoid judicial ass off.

[Mr. Evil]

27. I live in Kentucky.

My thoughts exactly. They really seem to be pulling out all the stops with the Dominion distraction thing to keep all eyes off of ES&S. Nobody like Moscow Mitch here. Even most republicans.

[Bayard]

46. Same here

MM's polling numbers are always in the 30's. Definite shenanigans.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

18. Does Clark still work at DOJ? If so, why? nt

[hot2na]

36. Did he work at DOJ? If not why?

39. TFG loyalist Jeffrey Clark, was the acting head of the Justice Department's civil division.

As part of T*****'s attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election, Clark wanted Rosen and Donoghue to sign his draft letter telling Georgia's leaders the Justice Department "is investigating various irregularities in the 2020 election" and has "identified significant concerns that may have impacted the outcome of the election in multiple states." If Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) declined to call a special session to address "this important and urgent matter," Clark's draft letter claimed, the Justice Department believes "the Georgia General Assembly has implied authority under the Constitution of the United States to call itself into special session" and appoint its own presidential electors.

Clark resigned on January 14, 2021 after controversy over his role regarding the disputed results of the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election.

After leaving the Justice Department, Clark landed a position as Chief of Litigation and Director of Strategy at the New Civil Liberties Alliance, a conservative-libertarian law firm that battles “the administrative state.” (Its latest actions: supporting a law professor who refuses to get the COVID vaccine and opposing the federal eviction moratorium.) Clark’s transition back into the conservative legal movement illustrates once again that there have been virtually no professional consequences for the many Republican attorneys who tried to steal the election for Trump.

We were so close to a coup. And it hasn't ended, so we must be on constant guard.

[Warpy]

20. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Come on, that is the only logical response to somebody who has fallen that far off the deep end.

Well, that and helping his family do an intervention so he gets appropriate treatment.

Chinese thermostats? Really? On machines with no internet capability?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[Phil the Kilibuster]

21. Those goshdarn Chinese

But they never could've done it without help from the Jewish space lasers!

[agingdem]

31. Jewish space lasers, Chinese thermostats..

next up: garden gnomes, iRobot Roomba vacuums, leaf blowers...

[videohead5]

22. The next thing they will blame

Is wireless printers.

[orleans]

24. omg! just another kill-me-now moment. n/t

[NCjack]

25. Chinese thermostats. Why not go all the way and say smart phones?

Every person taking a smart phone into the reception/transmission zone of the voting machines was linked to Russia, er, that is, China, where the data were altered and sent back. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese with smart phones, bouncing laser-beams off the Moon, carrying data and altered data back and forth. Boggles the mind.

[kiri]

40. You are exceptionally well-informed!

[Ford_Prefect]

26. Clark is a plant from the Federalist Society pool who got appointed WAY over his pay grade by TFG.

He had Zero senior DOJ experience prior to that appointment and has never been anything but a shill for the Chamber of Commerce while at Kirkland & Ellis. He did do some knee browning during W's reign as Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division of the Justice Department 2001-2005. He's a dangerous federalist troll who should be arrested ASAP.

[crickets]

28. I... thought it was satire. I was so sure it was a joke. But no. *sigh*

[Talitha]

29. Hopefully he'll get sued by Chinese thermostat companies.

[DFW]

30. That one is weird even by Republican standards

And they don't even HAVE standards any more.

[Historic NY]

32. Well ...

[Jim__]

33. "Clark claimed hackers had evidence ..." How could you find a more convincing argument than that?

[Kid Berwyn]

45. Bamboo fibers.

They scream, “Chy-nah!”

[orangecrush]

34. Their supporters

Eat this shit up.

We need a better mental health care system.

[reACTIONary]

37. And that isn't even taking into account...

... the MICROWAVE OVENS!1!!

[IronLionZion]

38. Chinese thermostats are turning the heat up to cause global warming too

They targeted Texas this winter and summer. And we can see the thermostat effect on the outside causing wildfires out west. Every time the weather changes each day, it's proof of outdoor thermostats. Damn Chinese.

[C Moon]

41. My thermostat gets me out of jury duty.

[LT Barclay]

42. OK, really what the hell is going on? Is 30% really nuts, or is there a competetion because their

leadership believes that 30% are really nuts? What the *UC*?

[Sherman A1]

43. Finally the truth comes out

[Ilsa]

44. My Christmas tree lights were used to elect Warnock and Ossoff

here in Georgia's runoff i early January! I just know it!

[Zorro]

47. Those Chinese thermometers changed the votes to sixty eight degrees

[Vinca]

48. Dear China - Please lower my thermostat. It's going to be 90 degrees today.

China's all powerful . . . right??

[oasis]

49. Subpoena time! nt

[prodigitalson]

51. Bamboo

thermostats?

[DemocraticPatriot]

52. This is not 'The Onion' ?!

This one tops the space lazer theory...

The crazy burns, it burns...
