Uh Oh, Sounds Like Eagle Ed Martin Done Tainted Up DOJ's Revenge Cases! [View all]

Yesterday we learned old Ed Martin had been forced out of his post as Czar of Weaponization under Attorney General Pam Bondi, and his office relocated from DOJ HQ to the more far-flung Northeast pardon office for not crushing Trump’s enemies fast enough. But turns out the backstory is much worse than that for Eagle Ed, so bad even Todd Blanche’s own DOJ probe found that he fucked up bigly, possibly criminally, whoops!

You’ll recall Trump spite-named Martin to two positions after his nomination for US Attorney for Washington DC failed, when it came to light he’d made hundreds of paid appearances repeating Putin’s talking points on Russian television, and had ongoing affectionate relationships with January 6 rioters, including exceptionally-even-for-MAGA rabid anti-semite Timothy Hale-Cusanelli, best known for shaving himself a literal Hitler mustache.

So Trump made up for dumb old Ed his own job, Weaponization Czar, and made him Pardon Attorney too, as in, trying to undo Joe Biden’s pardons so Trump can go after the members of the January 6 House Select Committee and Hunter Biden’s dong some more.
Yet Ed has failed at every step! The upside to incompetent people who have been accepting Russian money is that they are doggedly loyal. The downside is, well, they’re incompetent.

Not only incompetent, turns out, but sounds like Martin might have engaged in a little bit of criminal activity on the side, emailing grand jury materials from the DOJ’s mortgage fraud inquiries into Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff and New York Attorney General Letitia James to unauthorized people. Not only is that against the law, but fatally taints any evidentiary fruits from the fetid tree. Which LAWYER Ed Martin well ought to know.
