Unlike unsolicited complaints, Fox’s formal disciplinary complaint kicks off professional conduct proceedings for #EdMartin in which he will need to respond & could be sanctioned or ultimately lose his law license.
Fox’s announcement on Tuesday marks the first major bar discipline proceeding against a high-profile admin official or attorney supporting Trump during his second term.

…While Dhillon’s lawsuit makes the demand for #FultonCounty #ballots official, it wasn’t the DOJ’s first attempt at securing access. In Aug, #EdMartin, head of the DOJ’s vague weaponization task force, reportedly sent a letter to a Fulton County judge demanding to “immediately access” 148k absentee ballots being stored in a ballot warehouse.
In Oct, Dhillon, again on #PamBondi’s behalf, sent the Fulton County Board of Registration & Elections a letter demanding the records.

Bish’s brief visit to Washington — & accompanying media blitz — showed how #BillPulte, #EdMartin & their confidants are operating, with direct messages to strangers on social media & out-of-the-blue phone calls. And it revealed weaknesses in the mortgage fraud case against #AdamSchiff, one of the president’s Democratic foes.

#EdMartin & #BillPulte are not being investigated by a grand jury, according to a person familiar with the investigation…. Grand jury probes are just one way that officials can investigate conduct, though they are a necessary step in securing indictments.
Yet the interactions highlight the unconventional & sometimes erratic nature of the #Trump admin’s attempt to prosecute #Democrats on charges of mortgage fraud.

Bish said she’s never spoken to the 2 men outside of an occasional light message on social media, but that her independent probe into #AdamSchiff was submitted to #BillPulte’s office earlier this year & later referred to the #DOJ, where it was handed off to #EdMartin.
“If they’re trying to tie me into some kind of clandestine conspiracy, it’s not there, & the best way to protect myself is to be open & honest & public,” she said [doesn’t mean they aren’t using her for one].

Bish told CNN Thursday that she went before the grand jury with the understanding that she was providing information in an federal investigation into Schiff, but that prosecutors “seemed more concerned” about looking into whether “there was #conspiracy or #collusion between me & Pulte or me & Ed Martin.”
