The Federalist: Hysteria Against Ed Martin Is Exactly Why He Should Be Confirmed
The nomination of Ed Martin as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia faces opposition from nearly 100 former employees of the office, who label him "unworthy" and "incapable." They argue his past comments on the 2020 election and January 6 events disqualify him, fearing he would politicize the office.
Supporters contend that Martin is focused on restoring accountability within the DOJ, targeting perceived corruption and bias. His critics, including Senator Adam Schiff, appear more concerned about his potential effectiveness than his qualifications. Conservatives are urged to rally support for his nomination to prevent its withdrawal.
