  18. 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.

  26. Good. This idiot is dangerous.

    #DOJ demotes #EdMartin, stripping #Trump ally of most authority
    
Martin will no longer head the Justice Department task force that pushed investigations into Trump’s foes.

    As a result of the changes, Martin will no longer chair the DOJ’s Weaponization Working Group, which was tasked with reviewing special counsel #JackSmith’s prosecutions of Trump & other perceived examples of “prosecutorial abuse”

  28. …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.

  37. #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.
