As Americans wait for Congress, the Department of Justice (DOJ), and the FBI to advance the America-first agenda mandated by voters on November 5, former interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ed Martin, now heading to the DOJ as “weaponization czar,” says that accountability will come. But Republicans are undermining the agenda.
“The Republican Party is probably more problematic in certain ways than the Democratic Party,” Martin opined in an interview with Tucker Carlson. It’s Trump’s party, but the old guard is pushing back, he added.
The conflict between Establishment Republicans in Congress and the president was on full display when North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis successfully tanked Martin’s nomination as permanent U.S. attorney for D.C. this month. Tillis supposedly pulled his support due to Martin’s background of defending peaceful January 6 protesters. However, Martin speculates the true reason was his desire to prosecute criminals within the government. Said Tillis:
He built a compelling case on some of the 15 [or] 12 prosecutions that were probably heat-of-the-moment bad decisions. Where we probably have a difference [of opinion] is I think anybody that breached the perimeter [of the Capitol] should have been in prison for some period of time.
Martin revealed that Tillis had bought in completely to the hoax that January 6 was a violent insurrection. The Tarheel State senator, he said, was not “paying close attention to what happened.” Therefore, he concluded, Tillis, like millions of Americans, has fallen prey to an “information war.”
Despite the successful takedown of Martin’s U.S. attorney nomination, Trump has now placed him in a more significant role. Regarding Martin’s new role at the DOJ, Trump said on Truth Social:
Ed Martin has done an AMAZING job as interim U.S. Attorney, and will be moving to the Department of Justice as the new Director of the Weaponization Working Group, Associate Deputy Attorney General, and Pardon Attorney. In these highly important roles, Ed will make sure we finally investigate the Weaponization of our Government under the Biden Regime, and provide much needed Justice for its victims. Congratulations Ed!
Martin will begin the role on May 26.
With a promotion to the DOJ, Martin, who formerly ran conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly’s Eagle Forum, is now focusing on weeding out weaponization of government. He has a long to-do list waiting on his desk, and is on a media crusade promoting and promising accountability.
“Be mad about the timing,” Martin said in an interview about delays in seeing justice for the Epstein scandal, the January 6 hoax, 2020 election fraud, and Covid-19 crimes. But solid cases must be built, he argues, to withstand trivial litigation and the threat of being stalled in court. “We will get beat by the system that wants us to only litigate and play ball in Article III courts.” Only sophisticated trials will produce real results and true accountability, he explained. But building cases takes time.
The DOJ’s approach to accountability, according to Martin, will be threefold:
“There will be accountability, the truth will be known, and people will be accountable.… People who were damaged will be healed,” he guarantees.
Martin’s talking points come after Dan Bongino, currently deputy director of the FBI, posted on X after public outcry for justice: “Just because you don’t immediately see it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.”
While the American people’s yearning for justice and accountability must be satisfied, Martin and Bongino are asking for patience as they undertake perhaps some of the most complex and sinister conspiracies and conspirators to exist.
