#EdMartin was removed from the top prosecutor job in DC after senators made clear he would not be confirmed to the role, but has remained at the #DOJ in several roles, including as pardon attorney.
“Mr. Martin knew or should have known that, as a government official, his conduct violated the First & Fifth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States,” Fox wrote.
Martin is being represented by a DOJ attorney, a source told CNN.

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.

#EdMartin is formally accused of violating his ethical codes as an #attorney for telling #Georgetown Law’s dean last year that his #DOJ office wouldn’t hire students because of the school’s #diversity, #inclusion & #equity initiatives programs, according to the filing from Hamilton Fox, the disciplinary counsel for DC who acts as a quasi-prosecutor on attorney discipline matters.

…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.

Prosecutors spent >1 hr questioning Bish Thursday about her communications with #DOJ ofcl [& #Jan6 advocate] #EdMartin, #FHFA Dir #BillPulte & others. They appeared to focus on whether these ofcls divulged information about the criminal investigation into #AdamSchiff to unauthorized people & repeatedly asked Bish whom she talked to….A subpoena issued to Bish…also shows that investigators appear focused on anyone she communicated with who claimed to be affiliated with Martin & Pulte.

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.”

Investigators had sought info about the possibility that there was a person who claimed to be working for Pulte or Martin, but was not properly deputized — 2 sources….
Bish previously said publicly she believed she had information to share about Schiff related to his mortgages.

Call me naive, but even after the mass #pardons, I didn’t expect to see January 6 #rioters WORKING IN THE #JUSTICE DEPARTMENT. Yet here we are. Our tax dollars are paying the salary of #JaredWise, who called for violence against police. He’s now an adviser to #EdMartin (the “no #MAGA left behind” guy)!

#EdMartin is one of the most dangerous people in America. As DOJ’s “weaponization” director and #PardonAttorney, he is using the #justice system to carry out #Trump’s #revenge agenda. He’s dangerously unqualified yet wields enormous power. Please watch, share, and spread the word. Urge your reps to demand Martin’s resignation. Let’s get #Martin out of #DOJ before he does any more damage.
