Washington – Federal Public Prosecutors and Foreign Organizations raised the warnings this week for the nomination of Ed Martin, A temporary American lawyer for the province of ColombiaTo take over the senior federal prosecutor in Washington on a permanent basis.
Martin – who supported Donald Trump’s wrong claims that the 2020 elections were stolen and invited to the defendants in the January 6 district in Capitol Rotol – any experience in the prosecution before Trump made him a temporary lawyer on the opening day. He has taken a number of very unusual political measures since he took this position on a temporary basis.
Wednesday, Democrats in the Senate Judicial Committee called for a hearing Martin’s nomination, who will be independent of the usual practice of candidates for American lawyer positions. Senator Adam Chef, California, It was announced this week that it will be presented to Martin’s nominationAnd that can delay the vote on its nomination.
In a letter sent to the Judicial Committee of the Senate this week and obtained by NBC News, more than 100 former American lawyers who worked in the US Prosecutor’s Office in Colombia County “Statement of Conscience and Principle” signed the reason for Martin’s vision as inappropriate.
“We have decided that the values and standards that were born during the period of John Thompson Mason and his successors – the commitment of law, and the absence of partisanship in the pursuit of justice, existence, lying, treatment, and fairness – continues unabated now and herefter,” the statement reads, calls Martin “not worthy of the place.”
Daniel Tommy, the former federal prosecutor who served in the office from 1968 to 1971, told NBC News that the message arose from a regular enlargement call that started about four years ago that included graduates from the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office in Washington, and many of them worked there in the late sixties and early seventies.
“When we started to get to know Ed Martin, we, for a man, regardless of our policy, we feel dismay,” Tommy told NBC News. “We haven’t seen anything like this in the US Public Prosecutor’s Office.”
Tommy said that the list of the two positions tends towards those who have retired from the law and that they believe that the list will be in “hundreds” if not for those who are still in private practice who may be concerned about revenge by the Trump administration.
Tommy said: “I cannot tell you the number of people who will call, and friends will call me, who said,” I am completely agreed with you, but I cannot sign this, “Tommy said.
Tommy said that some of the signatures of the Senate Employees ’Employees’ Plan next week to express their concerns.
The speech continues through a number of Martin’s actions in office, including the termination of some federal prosecutors who worked on January 6. His publications on social media about active investigations; The extraordinary messages he sent to the members of the Democratic Congress indicates that it is investigating their speech.
“In his” experience “, he torn out the situation, and destroyed it effectively as a car to follow up on justice and turn it into a political arm of the current administration,” and reads the statement from former American lawyers.
Representative Jimmy Raskin, DMD, a member of the Judicial Committee, said on Thursday that Trump “nominated Ed Martin specifically because he was confident that Mr. Martin will put his blind and unlimited loyalty to Trump over his law enforcement.”
Martin did not respond to a message seeking a comment.
Martin recently submitted documents to the Senate Judicial Committee regarding his candidacy, which indicates that he has never received a trial and showed that most of the legal experience he determines as his most important issues with January 6, including the representation of three accused.
Among the “most advanced things”, according to the documents he submitted, which were obtained by NBC News, were four issues in which he participated as a temporary lawyer for the United States, including ensuring that the issues affected by Trump’s pardon-including his birth on January 6.
Martin has a large -scale digital imprint, but the Senate Questionnaire goes beyond some of the most worthy moments in his career. His speech to the Capitol in the United States on January 5, 2021, encouraged him.The true Americans ascending “to fight to” their last breath “ “To stop the theft,” not included. The list of publications also does not include “cannot outperform this CovefeFE: Top Trump Tweets”, which is a book of gesture to Trump typo on social media in 2017. And Martin’s old podcast episodes, which are included in the model, now appear as “temporarily registered” on iTunes.
