DOJ policy expressly prohibits prosecutors from making these kind of statements, following an indictment because everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and this sort of statement is prejudicial. But in the Trump administration, prosecutors can apparently get away with violating the law.

Well. It is Ed Martin.
#contemptofcourt
But do they know the law?
Hey he SAID 'allegedly'
I have to assume that at some point, they violate enough ethics to get disbarred?
Lol no
It's happened in the past to Trump living attorneys.
*loving
Typical for these guys, however, to be fair, policy is not law and the head of DOJ gets to set policy. This is on Bondi.
The entire regime is a violation of the law.
YOU ARE NOT LAWYERS JUST SERVENT BOYS
Refer to every one of these posers as AirQuotesAttorney or AirQuotesProsecutor or AirQuotesPerson
Prejudicial yes, but technically illegal? (Not looking for an excuse, just curious on the point)
What happened to innocent until proven guilty?
He just this side of lynch mob rhetoric
The verdict is decided before your brought to trial in thus DOJ.
Shut him down
Makes perfect sense, now, Joyce, why those press conferences are so vague. #donald2dolls has really messed up any and all protocol of everything who suckle up to him. It's just SICK. like they all want to date him . Even th e men
Hmmm wouldn't that be grounds for a dismissal ?
The main theme of this Administration appears to be absolute incompetence...
Most corrupt regime in US history
Hopefully their stupidity will eclipse their corruption
Yes! That keeps happening 😂 And hopefully, it will be their undoing
whoever trump forgets to pardon on his way out is in for a hurtin’
True 😂 Maybe others as well. There are state crimes that he can't touch.
sadly for the king himself all we can hope for is a massive health event
🤞 Keep hope alive 😏
That is why policies and norms must be codified. Still, it sucks.
Bar disciplinary authorities might be inclined to deal with this.
I still wonder how many of these people paid any attention to the disbarment of previous tRump lawyers and the lawsuits filed by individuals for "defamation" by innocent/accused defendants, wronged individuals.
but it’s okay if you KNOW they’re guilty, right? i mean, it’s just so obvious. c’mon!
DOJ policy? Like the one Comey ignored? Norms/policies mean nothing now and haven’t for the GOP for years.
Old enough to remember when this happened:
The allegations about you are disturbing.
Policy for thee not for me
Sounds like he is talking about senior MAGA.
HE TRULY IS NOTHING BUT SCUM AND HIS BAR LICENSE NEEDS TO BE REVOKED NOW‼️
I assume he just gave the defense a lot to work with…
We no longer live under the rule of law, we live under the rule of Nazis.
Was a Federal prosecutor for 25 years. Trump's Department of Nojustice might change course if Federal judges start dismissing indictments for prosecutorial misconduct that prejudices defendants.
@klobuchar.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov Y’all bringing this up, right?
Bondi and Martin believe they are following the law because in their eyes Trump is the law and everyone in the executive branch is his deputy. Immunity breeds Impunity.
Besides being unethical, this sort of conduct is really unprofessional. I guess that's just something they place no value in.
It also has a very pragmatic effect. By making public, prejudicial statements, they’re putting any possible prosecution at risk. It’s not how a prosecutor behaves if they truly think someone is dangerous, guilty, and needs to be convicted
Martin does not need to be their spokesperson....not very professional but very political
This Puktin asset has been on Russian RT media 150 times. He has publicly stated Russian fascist propaganda. Watch as MAGA fascists in Senate confirm him.
Ed Martin is a dangerous insurrectionist and a danger to the public yet he is also dumber than a halfwit Missouri mule.
I’m confused. It does say alleged. Doesn’t that make it ok?
When he combine the word alleged with words like “depravity” to describe the alleged actions, he is making an emotional appeal to value judgement, ie attempting to sway opinion about the defendant, this is not a neutral statement by any means even though he used the word alleged
I assume he’s referring to the woman with the 3 daughters whose home was mistakenly invaded by ICE and US Marshalls, made to stand outside in the rain and humiliated and terrorized?
“Apparently”? Breaking and flouting the law is a feature, not a bug, of this regime.
It’s like we silently switched to the Napoleonic Code, where the accused is presumed to be guilty a priori. Then he must prove innocence, but can be exiled to Devil’s Island immediately. Our nation was originally set up to not do that.
is he talking about Trump and Epstein involvement in trafficking underage girls.
Also the over 8,000 military members who sexually assault, mostly other military members, overwhelmingly women, annually. And that is only reported numbers.
Do any of the standard DoJ policies of 2024 still exist though?? Now, we seem to be looking at Trump's newest law firm... totally loyal to him and willing to lie, promote falsehoods, distort reality, and ignore our Constitution upon his request.
What laws. The orang-uturd will pardon his disciples.
If you read his statement closely it could be the entire administration he is talking about. Every word is about them and their actions.
Make a complaint. Disbar Martin. Make sure he gets disbarred while he is still interim. @schiff.senate.gov
You’re still under the misapprehension that the federal govt still adheres to the Constitution & isn’t a fascist dictatorship. You’re too smart for this sorta self-delusion, Joyce.
I don’t think you read her entire post.
I did. Joyce seems to believe the laws still exist for federal employees. That’s not how tyranny works…
You clearly missed the last sentence.
No… “prosecutors can apparently get away with violating the law.” This implies she thinks the rule of law still exists to be violated. It’s not a violation unless you live in a Republic. You don’t. You live under a tyrant who claimed that he is the law.
You’re conflating “rule of law” and the existence of laws.
And right now, federal law does not exist. I think lawyers are having a hard time accepting this… let me know when you reach stage 2.
The law does exist. Those following it are fewer in this administration than you can count on one finger.
I don’t think you’re winning your case
Habeas corpus does not currently exist in the U.S. And currently, neither do the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th & 10th amendments.
What’s your solution? And if your response is “people in the streets,” I’m all for it. A multi-pronged response is necessary.
My god, you might be the most tedious and pedantic person on the whole internet. User muted.
You seem pleasant… 🙄
@candidus00.bsky.social Serendipitous that this was posted yesterday? Perhaps. Food for thought.
Acquiescing to tyranny (as you’re doing) is not the solution.
The first step is admitting there’s a problem. I find it disheartening that you’re confusing recognition of something as acquiescence. Do you think ppl at AA acquiesce to alcoholism?
We have admitted there is a problem. I just believe you’re feeding into a dangerous narrative by ignoring nuance.
Don’t get me started on AA.
Knotty—quit while you’re still under water. Yo.
Nah.
Just like Russia, Russia, Russia
Anyone care?? Anyone… anyone… @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov @repjasmine.bsky.social @whitehouse.senate.gov @reed.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @kaine.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov @coons.senate.gov
He sounds like the Defense Atty!
Until a judge throws out a case and rebukes Martin for this sort of crap, then I guess he will keep getting away with it. Surely, it should just be a matter of applying the rules?
Kind of what I was thinking. Isn't this a strategy for losing the actual cases? Or is that the point, to see which judges to "remove"?
Is Martin violating the law or violating policy? Good faith question.
Can't these statements be used against Martin/prosecution in court?
They all attempt to follow the letter of the law to enable being an asshole
J6…choir boys…? Fecal smearing treasonous trumpers…?
In the Trump administration everyone is trash and presumed GUILTY unless you bribe, rape, kiss his sorry butt and have no moral compass. Then you are royalty in a den of criminals.
Why isn't Ed Martin disbarred? Why won't the law profession deservedly stomp Ed Martin?
Bar associations where are you?
😠😱🤢
Is this the “policy” that stopped Mueller from going into more detail about Trump/Russia??
Your right, yet not this DOJ. Wouldn't it be nice if lawyers, DOJ actually knew the laws and constitution... 🎶Wouldn't it be nice...🎶
“DOJ policy expressly prohibits…” This sort of arrogance got us here: that DOJ lawyers are a special class of people.
It was pretty much on the wall when they allowed a convicted felon to run for president.
👎👎😠😡
Seriously asking, are they violating the law, or violating DOJ policy?
Would reporting him to the bar make any difference?
Please tell me he is talking about school shootings and other gun violence. Right?
Until serious consequences are enforced against everyone currently commiting illegal acts they won't stop...they need to start arresting them...that will be a deterrent to the others...but like The Idiot they all think they're Teflon right now
It's a dare to the judges. Dismiss the case based on these unlawful and prejudicial public proclamations at your peril. If you do so, you will then be arrested, perp walked, charged and subjected to the same unlawful tactics.
It sounds like he's making a case against the trump administration.
Sorry Joyce. Persecutors hold press conferences all the time to announce important indictments. These guys are scum, and retribution is driving much of it. But have a little discretion, or you lose credibility.
Allegations were never enough to stop Trump. Convictions were never enough to stop Trump. If a 34 count felon can be in the White House, how can allegations get people sent to CECOT?
Gop truly hates all Americans, our country and our Constitution so much they chose to destroy everything we've stood for. Historians will remember them as traitors. They don't care.
I'm sure the Internet can come up with some pretty creative allegations against potential US Attorney Ed Martin
I’d much rather see them going after magats that have been committing heinous atrocities against children and teenage girls rather than supposed gang members about drugs! Except most of the administration is rapists and pedophiles so that won’t happen!
Just put it on his tab for when he’s out of the job.
There is no policy, no rule, no law that the Trump people will not break. This is not a administration. Its an organized crime syndicate.
I was a proud American....no more.
Don't capitulate. Stay proud. America is worth fighting for. #Resist
Germany was the most cultured, educated and sophisticated country in europe elected Hitler. America, the most bountiful wealthy privileged country in the world, elected Trump. We must not be blinded by their lies. Enough is enough. Resist Resist Resist
In the Trump regime there is no law but what Trump says.
Has Martin implanted enough opinions for ppl to hold and be biased against the person(s)? If not, I'm sure, as time goes by, more false info will be spouted to infect a jury pool. In the cases and indictments against drumpf, only recounts of truth and facts were stated; he hates truth & facts.
You’re screwed. Guilty on social media till you can bribe otherwise.
More like federal persecutors than prosecutors
Seriously- ‘Justice demands’ is a totally bullshit statement from this administration #idiots
Remember when Nixon made a comment about the Manson Family?
Right. Maybe it’s fatigue, but I feel like letting them get away with things without putting in effort to stand up for the law or even decency has become status quo. One person can’t do it all but we all can do something. Or we are going to wake up one day to a very different country.
