'Ed Martin Confirms Ed Martin's Witch Hunt Against Elected Democrats'
(TPM) "A Classic Example of Political Corruption"
"Ed Martin had no prior experience as a prosecutor when he became acting D.C. U.S. attorney earlier this year. And it shows."
"Since his nomination to the permanent position was aborted because of lack of Senate GOP support, Martin has been triple-hatting at Main Justice as (i) U.S. pardon attorney; (ii) the chief of Attorney General Pam Bondis 'Weaponization Working Group' the unintentionally revealing name of the outfit thats charged with politicizing the Justice Department; and (iii) most recently as Bondis 'special attorney' overseeing the politically motivated mortgage fraud investigations of Sen.

Whether how seriously people take him or not, he has been given the investigative powers of the federal government to look into crimes, he continued. And for someone like that, in that position, with that extraordinary power, to simply show up at someone's home who he is investigating, there's no evidence yet he had a search warrant, there's no evidence that he had a subpoena with him that day.
But to only be there, essentially there having to be a New York Post photographer there who captured him there, we've seen footage that was obtained through a surveillance camera that showed him posing in front of the home and in sort of menacing the individual that he is investigating, he added. And it's part of a larger pattern by the Trump administration over the past two months in which they have essentially harnessed the vast intelligence-gathering and law enforcement powers of the federal government to tar the people they don't like, Donald Trump's perceived enemies, and to simply show up at someone's home as a federal investigator i just thought it was, you know, you know, the Trump era, weve obviously run out of adjectives, but I thought it was pretty extraordinary.
Michael, it sounds like the attorney general, Pam Bondi is not pleased with Mr. Martin's actions here, he was asked by co-host Willie Geist.
