DOJ’s Ed Martin Investigating Biden Autopen Pardons: https://newscats.org/dojs-ed-martin-investigating-biden-autopen-pardons
#Trump's comments come 6 days after the #DOJ's new #pardon attorney, disgraced #DC #USattorney, under investigation by the #DCBar & #Jan6 advocate, #EdMartin Jr., said on a podcast he would take a "hard look" at pardoning the men he called "victims just like January 6," when Trump supporters attacked the US Capitol while Congress met to certify the Nov 2020 election results.

President Donald Trump's highly controversial head of the Department of Justice's Office of the Pardon Attorney appeared to suggest on social media that all Trump supporters could be eligible for pardons.
Pretty sure she’s thinking, “worth it.”
The #DOJ has charged Emily Sommer with assaulting former interim US attorney [now #Trump pardon legal adviser & currently under a #DCbar #ethics investigation] #EdMartin, when she spit on him during a liveshot.
"Fuck you, Ed Martin. My name is Emily Gabriella SOMMER, and you are served," she said.

@Nonilex Talk about twisted minds. Someday, I hope to understand how people like #EdMartin got that way. Twisted values, twisted cognition, twisted behavior. Were they like this as kids? Was there some pivotal experience that sent them around the bend? Mind you, my interest is not out of any special compassion or belief they are redeemable; mountains of psych studies say there is little hope for that. Call it morbid curiosity. My preference is to lock them up or send them to Mars.
#EdMartin said he knew that outing #FBI agents violated #policy, but didn't care:
“The system is stifling the truth from coming out because of some procedure.”
[the procedure is the law]
“We will name them. And we will name them & in a culture that respects shame, they should be people that are shamed.”
JFC talk about #RevengePolitics & #WeaponizationOfGovernment!
Last night, in the lawsuit brought by #FBI agents who worked on #Jan6 investigations, seeking to prevent their names from being disclosed for fear of #retribution & physical #threats from #MAGA #extremists, the plaintiffs alerted Judge Cobb of the press conference by disgraced fmr acting #DC #USattorney, current #DOJ Weaponization "captain" & under #DCbar #ethics probe #EdMartin who pledged: "We will name them."

Are Biden's 'corrupt pardons' about to collapse in court?!
Interim Washington #USAttorney #EdMartin said in the letter sent to his staff on his last day on the job that he is under investigation by the DC Office of Disciplinary Counsel [#DCBar]. The office is in charge of investigating & bringing #misconduct proceedings against attorneys in the district.
It's going to take more than social media. We have to get organized and keep the pressure up. There's more to it in the video.

I Asked AI How to STOP Trump. ...
#Trump appointed *#conservative* activist #EdMartin to multiple #DOJ roles, after his nomination for #USattorney for #DC, failed. Martin's ties to Hale-Cusanelli played a key role in the collapse of his nomination to that role.
In Aug 2024, Martin praised Hale-Cusanelli as an "extraordinary man" & "extraordinary leader" & gave him an award for promoting "God, family & country." (Martin also gave Ingrassia an award immediately after Hale-Cusanelli spoke)
Letters from an American – May 9, 2025 – Heather Cox Richardson
By Heather Cox Richardson, May 09, 2025
Yesterday afternoon, President Donald Trump withdrew his nomination for interim U.S. attorney Ed Martin to become U.S. attorney in Washington D.C., the top federal prosecutor in the nation’s capital. A Missouri political operative with no experience as a prosecutor, Martin defended the January 6 rioters and fired the prosecutors who had worked on their cases, threatened to investigate Democrats and critics, and hosted a notorious antisemite on his podcast. His nomination proved too much for Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC), who joined all the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee to oppose his confirmation, deadlocking the committee and blocking the nomination.
Trump announced he was moving Martin into three roles that do not require Senate confirmation. He will become the new director of the Weaponization Working Group at the Department of Justice, an associate deputy attorney general, and a pardon attorney. “In these highly important roles, Ed will make sure we finally investigate the Weaponization of our Government under the Biden Regime, and provide much needed Justice for its victims,” Trump posted on social media.
To replace Martin, Trump has tapped Fox News Channel host Jeanine Pirro, who is passionately loyal to him. He noted among her qualifications that she “hosted her own Fox News Show, Justice with Judge Jeanine, for ten years, and is currently Co-Host of The Five, one of the Highest Rated Shows on Television.”
Matt Gertz of Media Matters for America recalls that the Fox News Channel took Pirro off the air after the 2020 election because of her conspiracy-theory-filled rants. In emails turned up in the defamation suit against the Fox News Channel for pushing the lie that voting machines had tainted the election results, her executive producer called her “nuts” and a “reckless maniac,” who “should never be on live television.” That lawsuit cost the Fox News Channel $787 million.

"We need to get really focused," Martin started saying to the television reporter, when the unidentified woman pointed her finger at him before spitting at him and then walking off.
