Even in a Justice Department that has often been pressed into serving Mr. Trump’s political agenda, the appointment of Mr. Wise to the weaponization task force was a remarkable development. His selection meant that a man who had urged violence against police officers was now responsible for the department’s official effort to exact revenge against those who had tried to hold the rioters accountable.

The selection of Jared L. Wise means a man who had urged violence against police officers on Jan. 6 is now responsible for the department’s official effort to exact revenge against those who had tried to hold the rioters accountable.

@Nonilex Talk about twisted minds. Someday, I hope to understand how people like #EdMartin got that way. Twisted values, twisted cognition, twisted behavior. Were they like this as kids? Was there some pivotal experience that sent them around the bend? Mind you, my interest is not out of any special compassion or belief they are redeemable; mountains of psych studies say there is little hope for that. Call it morbid curiosity. My preference is to lock them up or send them to Mars.

Last night, in the lawsuit brought by #FBI agents who worked on #Jan6 investigations, seeking to prevent their names from being disclosed for fear of #retribution & physical #threats from #MAGA #extremists, the plaintiffs alerted Judge Cobb of the press conference by disgraced fmr acting #DC #USattorney, current #DOJ Weaponization "captain" & under #DCbar #ethics probe #EdMartin who pledged: "We will name them."

#Trump appointed *#conservative* activist #EdMartin to multiple #DOJ roles, after his nomination for #USattorney for #DC, failed. Martin's ties to Hale-Cusanelli played a key role in the collapse of his nomination to that role.

In Aug 2024, Martin praised Hale-Cusanelli as an "extraordinary man" & "extraordinary leader" & gave him an award for promoting "God, family & country." (Martin also gave Ingrassia an award immediately after Hale-Cusanelli spoke)

#Trump is strongly considering installing #FoxNews host & fmr prosecutor #JeaninePirro as interim #USattorney for #DC….

The potential selection comes as Trump told reporters in the Oval Office Thurs that #EdMartin, who is currently serving as DC's interim top prosecutor, would not be taking the position permanently after losing support among top #Republicans in the #Senate.

Continued thread

Addressing reporters, #Trump praised #EdMartin & expressed disappointment at the #Senate’s refusal to advance his nomination.

“I just want to say Ed is unbelievable. And hopefully we can bring him in too, whether it’s #DOJ or whatever, in some capacity,” Trump said in response to questions after a White House announcement on a trade agreement w/the UK. “We have somebody else that we’ll be announcing over the next 2 days who’s going to be great.”
