On March 10, the Senate Judiciary Committee received Donald Trump’s nomination of #Edward #Martin Jr. to be the United States attorney for the District of Columbia,
-- one of the most important federal prosecutorial jobs in the country.

Martin currently has a temporary appointment for that job,
and in that capacity he has proved himself manifestly unqualified.

Martin’s nomination tests how much (if any) life is left in the Senate’s important constitutional role
in ensuring adherence to the rule of law through its confirmation process.

U.S. attorney nominees typically do not get hearings;
they are typically considered and advanced by the Senate Judiciary Committee by voice vote.

But some nominations fail because the Judiciary Committee does not advance them.

🔥Martin even in his temporary role has proven to be the most openly politicizing and weaponizing figure in the most politicized and weaponizing department in our history.

If the Senate confirms him, it will be directly responsible for his foreseeably abusive actions as U.S. attorney.

When Elon Musk ordered a government-wide email blast directing federal employees to list their recent accomplishments,
most senior officials paused to consider their options.

In the Justice Department, US attorneys around the country discussed the matter over an email list they share,
with many deciding to seek more guidance before instructing career prosecutors on how to respond.
One questioned whether the email was even real.
But #Ed #Martin, an acolyte of Donald Trump named interim US attorney for the District of Columbia, charged ahead.
“It’s legit and we’ve already replied,” he told his fellow US attorneys. “Great leadership.”

Just 33 minutes after the Office of Personnel Management directive hit inboxes,
Martin urged lawyers under him to comply,
though he suggested they respond carefully.

“DOGE and Elon are doing great work!” Martin wrote in one of his frequent communiques to hundreds of assistant US attorneys and support staff.

“We are happy to be participate.”

Martin has announced investigations into his own staff for their role in January 6 cases
and has volunteered to support Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Orwellian “Weaponization Working Group,”
which purports to take aim at abuses of the justice system during the Biden administration.

Martin has threatened former special counsel Jack Smith and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
and has used X to indicate plans to investigate administration critics.

He has even tried to leverage a dubious criminal probe to seize climate grant money awarded by the Biden administration.
