'Debate is healthy': Indicted Trump lawyer says GOP 'chaos' isn't bad

Former Trump DOJ official Jeff Clark, who was indicted recently alongside the former president in Georgia, is trying to cast the GOP infighting and "chaos" we are all witnessing as a good thing.

Clark, who has claimed that Trump had "unqualified and illimitable" power to enroll DOJ official to fight election results, said that the House's decision to push Kevin McCarthy out shows that our democracy is salvageable.

"Watching the House debate shows me there are still vestiges of the true Republic left. And that life can be breathed back into it. The debate is healthy," he wrote. "It's the way Congress is supposed to work. It's not supposed to run via backroom deals leadership announce. It's not supposed to just be floor speeches to an empty chamber broadcast to the folks back home for purely political purposes. It's supposed to entertain argument."

POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?

Clark added:

"It's supposed to involve ferment. This is what the Framers wanted. Tune out MSNBC and CNN telling you 'chaos' is bad. Republics are and should be messy affairs. Not just bare-knuckles policy fights out of public view with ceremoniously announced results."

After Clark's response was called "shallow," he explained even further.

"It’s not a shallow point. I like to see our constitutional institutions function as they’re supposed to. I like to see real deliberation. It gives me hope that we are not yet fully in a late-stage Republic where we have only the illusion of representatives voting for us but not the reality. We have to turn the debt crisis around. And we have to stop electing RINOs who talk about the debt every two years but when they get into office don’t do anything at all about it except cosmetic gestures. I’d rather all the masks get pulled off and be in the minority for a while so we know who’s really fighting for us rather than taking the scraps that fall from the Establishment’s table. Continued drift where the people vote for change and don’t get it causes disillusionment and political exit by our base. We can’t afford that. It just continues to lead to oligopoly/cabal rule."
