The Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee are planning to have an army of volunteers and lawyers on hand in key precincts across the country on Election Day. Justin Clark is the Trump campaign lawyer leading the charge.

Clark, who declined comment for this story, grew up a moderate Democrat in Connecticut. After the Gore campaign, he went to law school and, in 2006, applied for a clerkship with Peter Zarella, then a justice on the Connecticut Supreme Court.

"That affability really hides, or hid at the time, his intensity and his hard work and his thoroughness," Zarella said. Foley lost both races in the blue state, and he said Clark took it hard — though he doesn't blame Clark."I didn't win the election, but I think we had an emotional victory because we came so close," Foley said.

"The process is different in every state. There's a lot of rules to keep them all straight. You need a good lawyer who understands that. But then you also need someone who's actually kind of done it," said Mike DuHaime, who has known Clark for a decade, working on multiple Republican campaigns with him.

I thought voter intimidation was illegal

Some realize they are racists at an older age! Or is it greed? Whatever you wanna call it, I’m very disappointed. What an ugly person he has become...

Biden already won there are to many ways to scam. Other countries know this.

THIS IS ILLEGAL

YES ... BE PREPARED FOR DESPICABLE DEPLORABLE BEHAVIOR

👎👎👎👎👎👎

Voter intimidation, much?

THIS story may make his taxes look small time. $170,000,000 in laundered campaign money. Using former campaign manager Pascale as the patsy.... 🤔 And Pascale just tried to kill himself today.

RNC better be paying for all those attorneys, not the taxpayers

Our tax dollars paid for Donald Trump to make almost 300 visits to golf clubs while president and has paid Trump companies nearly $1 million for his trips. He paid just $750 in income taxes in 2016 and 2017. Voters, ask yourself how much YOU paid . . .

How can we help volunteer?

Geez!

How do these fuckers look in the mirror ?

Voter intimidation at it's finest! And count on our super Supreme Court to do nothing about it😡

So a voter suppression ARMY? This sounds like 3rd world fascist shit to me.

Legal strategy or loopholes to steal the election?

I think Trump lawyers will be busy with *other* Trump campaign legal factors.

And if they find conservatives committing fraud, will they report them?

Who is the DNCs?

This is not okay. Is it against the law?

America is watching this dirtbag, every step

Any side for a paycheck, right?

direct form central casting....you'd think they'd at least change up the look if it all

Your obviously liberal reporter is now talking about the polls and how Hilary was up just 1% and Biden is now up 7%. What are you going to do when Trump wins in a landslide? Are you going to apologize for fake news?!

“Volunteers.” Only now they carry guns

Yes, their army will be ready but voters will vote, unless some in Post Office or else where start to cheat.

Const_Overhaul The decree against them for dirty tricks & voter suppression expired so they're free to resume, and they are. Only now they're open about it. sprzyslp

GOPDeathCult GOPComplicitTraitors GOPCorruptionOverCountry GOPHypocrisy GOPCrimeSyndicate GOPBetrayedAmerica

When you have been a liar and cheat ALL your life, you believe everyone else must be doing the same. Most Americans are honest and are going to legally and forcefully let Trump know by voting, regardless of your intimidation teams and tactics.

Hey, let's get the New Black Panthers on alert for our side. Two can play this game.

Hope they don't expect to get paid by HoboTrump

Are Voter Intimidation cost also tax deductible?

And of course the democrAts won’t. 🤪🤪🤪

Floridans: watch/read this and be ready.

Pure intimidation tactics!

Somebody tell them they are not going to get paid. Oh wait, Putin will probably itch you the bill.

4 more years ahead, congratulation! No English left.

They can't be inside any precinct so as to protect the rights of American citizens. Republicans back off.

This stuff has been going on for years. I saw Tea Party poll 'observers' in 2010 at my polling place. They would challenge alot of POC voting status and they'd have to vote provisional. Who knows if they were ever counted. This year they are not even trying to hide it.

Now add in an army of police officers to keep voter intimidation from both sides as far away from polling places as humanly possible.

Guess what? We are in America NOT in Communist Cuba or Russia. WE WILL VOTE TRUMP OUT whether they want it or not. IAMVOTING BidenHarrisLandslide2020

DNC TomPerez democrats needs to have the same.

Investigate Justin R. Clark’s four kids, Hunter-style. Because you just know.

Sounds like voter intimidation to me. DonTheCon should be more focused on his taxes and failing businesses. Gotta a lotta debt coming due....

Aren’t elections run by states?

A word of advice, you may want to get a good sized retainer up front on your client.

'Volunteers'. How many will be armed Y'all Qaeda cosplayers? They are trying to suppress the vote and call into question the will of the people because they know he can't win otherwise.

they wearing brown shirts to honor donnie's German heritage? or black shirts like 1920's Italy?

Kind of scary that Trump is lining up an army of lawyers to fight the election results two months out. How many of his armed supporters will be 'election monitors' preventing people from dropping of their ballots?

voter intimidation

Where do you suppose they'll get the money for this?

Ex-Trump Campaign Manager Brad Parscale in Hospital After Suicide Threat: ReportParscale was reportedly hospitalized by his own choice after police came to his home where he had guns and was threatening self-harm. Is it me, or does he look like a young KFC? Hmm 1. No, not by his own choice. 2. He's a senior adviser to the campaign. It's prob the fact that he grifted from the world's biggest grifter and now 'interested parties' want to be paid back... old school style. That's a scary proposition.
