“We write to express our grave concern about actions taken by Edward Martin, that may constitute professional misconduct under the DC Rules of Professional Conduct. Since his appointment as Interim US Attorney for the District of Columbia on January 20, 2025, Mr Martin has abused his position in several ways, including dismissing charges against his own client and using the threat of prosecution to intimidate government employees and chill the speech of private citizens.”
“Due to the serious nature of this misconduct, we request that the Office of Disciplinary Counsel open an investigation to determine whether Mr Martin, who is a member of the DC Bar, violated applicable DC Rules of Professional Conduct and should be subject to disciplinary action,” write the Dems on the Senate Judiciary Committee to the DC Bar’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel, listing a bunch of Martin’s scumbag moves, mostly conflicts of interest with him continuing to represent the newly=pardoned January 6th defendants after he was already named interim US Attorney.
Absent from the complaint is Martin’s refusal to sign a DC Metro Police arrest warrant for MAGA Congressman Cory Mills for slapping around his girlfriend during an incident last month.
The letter was sent on Thursday and linked in an NBC News article about how Pam Bondi’s brother Brad and Martin’s top minion Alicia Long are running for president and treasurer, respectively, of the DC Bar Association, the implication beyond fucking obvious since Bar Association discipline is really the only way to hold top regime fascists like Martin accountable for their crimes. While they wouldn’t have direct say over disciplinary decisions, they are responsible for recommending new members of the DC Board of Professional Responsibility, the panel that make those decisions.
