FYI the Chicago #USattorney, Andrew S. Boutros of the Northern District of IL, was recently appointed by #Trump.
AND, last May, #Boutros had to dismiss all the charges he brought in the "Broadview Six" #immigration #protest case after his staff's grand jury #misconduct was revealed. He was excoriated for defending the prosecution by Judge #AprilPerry who described it as the worst prosecutorial misconduct she had ever seen, all of which occurred on Boutros's watch.

“Accordingly, #dismissal with #prejudice will serve the interests of #justice,” wrote Rosen, who was nominated by #Trump to be #USattorney in #Minnesota.
Lyons said the agents could face termination & criminal prosecution [I won’t hold my breath].
The Jan 14 #shooting of Julio C. Sosa-Celis by an #ICE agent touched tense protests in #Minneapolis, where thousands of federal agents had been sent as part of the #Trump admin’s #immigration crackdown in the state.

Rosen wrote that “*newly* discovered #evidence in this matter is materially inconsistent with the allegations” that #federal officials made in a charging #document & in courtroom #testimony.
“Accordingly, #dismissal with #prejudice will serve the interests of #justice,” wrote Rosen, who was nominated by #Trump to be #USattorney in #Minnesota.

On the list are #LindaMcMahon & #HowardLutnick, who served as co-chairs of the transition & were subsequently appointed as the secretaries of #education & #commerce, respectively. #SteveWitkoff, #Trump special envoy to the #MiddleEast, donated, as did #StanleyWoodward Jr., the third-ranking official in the #DOJ. #DominickGerace II, who was sworn in as the #USattorney for the Southern District of Ohio in August, is also listed as a donor.

…#EdMartin’s …appearances on #RT surged again in 2021, when he did roughly 60 spots, compared w/ 50 over the prior 4½ years. He was often asked about #Jan6, 2021, Capitol riot prosecutions, 3 of whose defendants HE REPRESENTED, & mounting federal & state investigations of #Trump, which he strongly & repeatedly criticized.

#Russia #StateMedia at the time promoted #EdMartin’s critiques in headlines such as one on #Sputnik International’s website in April 2023, “‘Trumped-Up’ Charges Against Former US President ‘Embarrassing’ to US,” & another in December 2023, “GOP Activist: ‘Stupid’ US Leaders Will ‘Throw Money’ at #Ukraine Unless Stopped by House.”

#EdMartin was invited by several [#Russia] networks to discuss the 2016 presidential election after writing a book making the conservative case for #Trump w/ #antifeminist icon #PhyllisSchlafly.
Over time, Martin appeared as a solo guest discussing the #Ukraine crisis & was described as a “co-host” on one show episode in December 2023.#law #DC #USAttorney #NationalSecurity #FarRight #RussianDisinformation

#EdMartin has been a prolific user of social & other media to defend #Trump & his policies. His presence on #Russia #StateMedia puts a twist on Trump’s frequent tapping of TV personalities to stock his 2nd admin.
Martin appeared as a panelist or commentator on more than a dozen #RT or #Sputnik programs beginning in Aug 2016, often introduced as a #Republican strategist….#law #DC #USAttorney #NationalSecurity #FarRight #RussianDisinformation

“We want to use these terms carefully, but this is a kind of #ForeignInfluence,” FilterLabsAI founder & CEO Jonathan Teubner said, adding that #RT is cultivating relationships w/American #conservative #influencers & micro-influencers as #Trump emerges as a leading figure in a #global wave of hard-line conservative #populism, inspiring #nationalist parties in #Europe & elsewhere.

“We needed to be allies w/ nuclear powers like #Russia,” #EdMartin told #Sputnik in March 2022, suggesting a missed opportunity under #Trump’s first term. “What Trump knew was you want to be allies with the toughest dudes on the street. And he was ready to be allies with #NorthKorea & with #Putin & everybody.”

…Asked about #EdMartin’s pro-#Russia stances & media role, a #WhiteHouse official said: “President #Trump made a brilliant choice in selecting Ed Martin to serve a full, permanent term as United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. With a distinguished record of service, Ed is the perfect leader to restore #law & order & make our Nation’s Capital safe & beautiful once again.” 🤦🏼♀️

People can disagree over US #ForeignPolicy, said Joseph Cirincione, a nuclear policy & #NationalSecurity expert who has advised US presidents & supports US military #aid to #Ukraine, “but repeatedly helping #Russia advance its #propaganda aims by echoing its views on its state-directed media, that should be #disqualifying.”

Fmr US #NationalSecurity ofcls & analysts said #EdMartin’s #RT & #Sputnik appearances, & his failure to disclose them, raise questions about his judgment & candor. The #DC #USAttorney’s office is the largest in the country & has wide jurisdiction to prosecute important national security offenses. Its leader should be alert to the threats & risks posed by #Russia & other #influence operations from overseas, such as the ones the office has prosecuted in recent years….

#EdMartin’s frequent appearances, reviewed by WaPo, drew rebukes from some #NationalSecurity analysts, who accused him of amplifying anti-American #propaganda on Russian outlets that the #State Dept last year said had moved beyond #disinformation to engage in covert #influence activities aimed at undermining democracies worldwide for President Vladimir #Putin’s regime.

#EdMartin did not disclose the appearances last month on a #Senate #Judiciary Cmte questionnaire, which asks nominees to list all media interviews. Analysis of television archives suggests he went on #RT & #Sputnik more often than on any major cable network during that span.
