🚨Ed Martin said he planned to use a criminal investigation into James and Schiff to “look at everything else they've been doing.” That’s not how it works. A criminal investigation is not an excuse to pry, harass and threaten people about non-criminal conduct. This is dangerous.
Ass backwards again, as is common with the idiot in chief. Investigations should begin with a violation or crime and then gather evidence and suspects. These jokers begin with suspects (political opponents) and then try to find evidence of some crime. Stupid, top to bottom.
They've got very clear evidence of mortgage fraud.
According to who you sniveling little toad.
According to the mortgage application where they declared a secondary home as their primary residence.
You must be quite the expert considering that Fannie Me investigators did not conclude any mortgage fraud had been committed when they looked into it. Put up or shut up if you know something they don’t.
That never happened.
So you actually don’t know shit, do you? Typical fox news viewer.
I googled. You were just lying.
ca-times.brightspotcdn.com/e0/e1/e199e6...
I saw that. It says he possibly committed fraud.
wrong. illegal. batshit crazy
Okay. Then every reporter worth their salt needs to follow the financial records of every person in office.
Ed Martin, you crazy chaos-stirrer. Just knock it off. The people you are targeting are some of the most respected, whistle clean people out there. Go home and find a real job
Malicious prosecution?
It’s exactly what they did to Hunter Biden. How else do you think they found gun crimes? Hunter was the dry run to see if it would work and it did.
Not really - Biden wrote in his autobiography about buying a gun while addicted to drugs.
No he didn’t. He wrote he had people put guns in his face because drug dealers thought he was an undercover cop.
It worked for Ken Starr . . .
Fishing expedition, probable cause, proof, whatevs...
The hypocrisy would be funny if it wasn’t so dangerous. Republicans freaked out about even the appearance of Democratic partisan influence over the Justice Department, then they appoint hyper-partisans who ignore the law to go after their political enemies.
Every GOP accusation is a confession.
It's also time to stop the dangerous habit Democrats have of appointing Republicans to law enforcement positions to appear bipartisan and nominating anyone who ever had anything to do with the Federalist Society to the bench.
Absolutely. Solidarity forever. That discipline has certainly worked for the GOP.
The notion that Ed Martin could “follow the facts” is comical.
But this IS how it works for the Trump admin. It shouldn’t be but it is…
Is he describing Trump, cause it sure sounds like the Donald Trump New Yorkers have known for 60+ years!
Ed Martin a gigantic insurrectionist garbage human. Looks like his adversaries are increasing exponentially! Lawyers without any moral code make me sick!
Loyalty instead of competence. Not hiring on merit!
Ein Warrant ist wie ein Fischzugnetz, nur ohne die Fische. Aber vielleicht gibt es ja einen großen Hai, der sich versteckt.
At least Clinton was president. No one is gonna care about this outside of the people who already think James and Schiff are running a pedophile ring out of a Florida resort or private island.
Nothing is going to happen regarding this shit because every investigation they claim they are going to do has amounted to jack shit
lowlifes think everyone else is as slimy as they are.
Tell that to Bill Clinton
These clowns must be really sure that there won’t be free elections in 14 months. Because, Mr Ed, your ass might just be hauled before Congress in 16 months.
It’s a warrant, counsel, not a fishing license.
I guess he never heard of the word, "predicate"
This is literally what they accused the prosecutions of Trunp of being.
Which is why they made the accusation, to normalize it and prime their base to accept its use against their enemies. The right wing press's main role is accusing their enemies of things they will do when they have power. Every single member of the right wing press is traitorous, subhuman vermin
Every conservative accusation is a confession.
With MAGA every accusation is a confession.
Ed Martin is the real criminal!
If he's talking about a liar, a cheat and a corrupt piece of shit why isn't he investigating Trump? The greatest liar cheat to walk the planet.
Did Ed Martin ever go to law school?
It's a great day to release the Epstein files and the Trump flight logs!
Use the fat fucking piece of dog excrement trump as the example of a liar!
Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein molest children. Work on that Ed Martin. Look what else they’ve been doing.
Guess what? You investigate people for the crimes you have evidence for … NOT for whatever else “you think you can find” … from whenever … or for whatever. Our taxes are NOT paid so someone can spend countless hours to “go fishing” … and hope to find a crime somewhere.
It is how it works with fascists.
Abuse of power
Let's take a look at everything else Ed Martin did as long as we are at it.
Yep. And this is an authoritarian GOP Coup.
That's how it works in an authoritarian regime where your whole life is fodder. Consider the interrogations in Argentina as paradigm for Martin's proposal. Or the statute that Marco Rubio wanted to invoke to deport Mahmood Khalil from the US for having bad thoughts about US policy. Actus Reus?
They have been doing this since whitewater. Just pure fishing expeditions
"That’s not how it works. A criminal investigation is not an excuse to pry, harass and threaten people about non-criminal conduct." Wake up, I'd say. This IS how it works these days. This is what Trump and his people are doing: pry, harass and threaten people who disagree with him and his people.
Yes, it is indeed dangerous. It's also the exact sort of unpredicated witch hunt John Durham spent years criminally investigating.
Wasn’t this how the infamous Roy Cohn, Trump’s favorite mentor and beloved attorney rolled?
🤯 Alarming! These could be categorized as real witch-hunts except that James and Schiff are not witches just because they speak out against the Pedo Dick-tator.
need some legal sanctions ready to file at the appropriate places, including whatever bars he is a member of.
There's only one fact that rings true. trump is a convicted criminal & an adjudged rapist.
Another of Missouri's finest. Lol
Ken Starr 2.0
Ed Martin has the Official Republican Hair Hat. It is bolted to his empty skull.
It might not have been, but wake up friend, it is now and everyone is going on about their business. Nauseating, yes and terribly sad for us all.
The Composition of the Rethuglican Party...
Used to??
Remember Ken Starr.
I thought legal investigations were based on existing evidence. Apparently Martin has none.
"This is dangerous" Tell me that you're late to the game without saying you're late to the game.
This has nothing to do with probable cause, it’s just a fascist fishing expedition.
He’s the Director of the Weaponization Working Group. I misunderstood. Evidently the role involves a group actively weaponizing the DOJ. My bad.
Banana republicans
Well, we're "GONNA' look at the assholes who go on Fox and Fools to tell lies!! Many in Congress have never taken an English class!
Ed, if you’re judged to have committed crimes, you’ll be arrested as well. Just “doing my job” will not protect you.
Sounds like the prosecutorial overreach fishing expeditions Trump used to whine about.
Everything Trump complains about is projection. It never fails.
Nothing but a pure fascist thug.
we know it is completely lawless and nonsense... so here we are....reeling in STATE TERROR & watching as legislation enriching billionaires & denying working people and disabled from health care wind their ways into all of our lives & further increases the grotesque inequality of this fascist land
📌
Who looks into everything Ed Martin did?
Scum
the65project.com/bar-complain...
This guy is a very sick, scary, delusional fuck. Someone who should not be anywhere near the power they’ve handed him. But the same can be said for this entire regime.
The MOST CORRUPT administration in IS history! And no one is talking about the Epstein Files anymore… notice that?
But that is what happened with Clinton and Whitewater, right?
It will be interesting to hear Ed Martin's take on this when the day comes when he will be under criminal investigation.
They are going to dig and dig, waste taxpayer money, and find nothing or something very petty to grasp onto.
Even if Sly Stallone gets an award at the Kennedy Center, Trump is not Judge Dredd.
So, let’s look into Trump, because he lies and cheats ALL the time. Therefore is your congressional duty to demand the RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES now!!!
Horrible fuckers like him is why America is fucked
Shades of Ken Starr & Clinton. It's not an investigation, it's a fishing expedition.
Talk about witch hunt.
Who will stop him?
Let’s start holding the president of United States accountable.
I trust 🤗 and love 🥰 your analyst Ms. Greenberg 🫡
Martin unironically said this... www.rawstory.com/ed-martin-le...
He reminds me of that old panty-sniffer Ken (Ugh) Starr when he was investigating President Clinton. Eww.
Yes Trump is the perfect example of everything you mentioned
Martin is not only a poor excuse for a lawyer, he’s a poorer excuse for a human being. He needs to be disbarred.
But that’s how it worked for Whitewater.
And then we will come after you!
This is fucked up! 😡
Nothing works like it used to work.
Stigmatize, stereotype, scapegoating, polarize, dramatize, demagoguery, histrionics , feigned moral umbrage, propaganda, sensationalism , and outright falsehoods are the GOP playbook.
Oh well let’s Ask @PressSec @karolineleavitt or better known as #BarbieLeavitt or #KarolineLips
These are Ed Martin’s Trump Hoaxes and Witch-hunts of James & Schiff!!
Err…. That’s not how it’s *supposed* to work. The old ways are gone.
Oops supposed to be that’s how it’s supposed to work. Ugh
Ken Starr:"Really?"
