While he told an inquiring neighbor that he was “just looking at houses, interesting houses,” #EdMartin later appeared on FauxNews saying that, as a prosecutor, he wanted to see the property with his own eyes. It was the latest in a string of media appearances he made in relation to his investigation of #NYAG #LeticiaJames, one of #Trump’s most prominent adversaries.

#EdMartin did not waste any time. Days after Martin, a #Trump-aligned activist, was tapped by the #DOJ to investigate #NYAG #LetitiaJames, he wrote a letter to her lawyer saying he would take it as an act of “good faith” if she were to resign.

Martin followed up this breach of prosecutorial protocol by showing up outside Ms. James’s Brooklyn home, clad in a trench coat & posing for pictures for The New York Post.
