Carol Platt Liebau: A Much Needed Weaponization Working Group
Manage episode 482871737 series 3343739
Ed Martin was Donald Trump’s pick to serve as US Attorney for Washington DC — its top federal prosecutor. But he was blocked by Senate Republicans like Georgia’s Thom Tillis. Martin had vowed legal action against those who impeded DOGE’s effort and fired 30 prosecutors who’d worked on January the 6th cases.
Perhaps Tillis thought stopping Martin’s nomination as US Attorney marked the end of the road for him. Instead, President Trump has doubled down.
He’s named Martin as the new Director of the Weaponization Working Group, Associate Deputy Attorney General, and Pardons Attorney at the DOJ.
There, he’ll be perfectly positioned to investigate the Biden administration’s weaponization of law enforcement and investigate pardons for those hurt by it.
Martin is committed and smart. Perhaps blocking him from his original post was a blessing in disguise for the American people.
