The Democratic Senator hits the “crazy” claims of the prosecutor appointed by Trump

There is no legal or procedural reason for the United States prosecutor’s office in Washington, DC, intervene in the civil case of Associated Press against the White House. The news organization Archive demand About Donald Trump and his team Punishing the AP by its description of the Gulf of Mexico. TThe case is ongoingand literally has nothing to do with federal prosecutors.

But Ed Martin, the American action prosecutor appointed by Trump in the capital of the nation, apparently felt the need to intervene anyway. The interim prosecutor’s statement is read in its entirety:

So, some things.

First, Martin put the apostrophe in the wrong place.

Secondly, the president certainly has lawyers, but prosecutors in the office of the United States prosecutor are not among them.

Third, it is not absolutely the work of federal prosecutors “protect” the “leadership” of Trump.

Fourth, it is not the work of federal prosecutors “face” news organizations and the free press of the Nation.

Fifth, so that Associated Press refers to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of Mexico does not mean that journalists at the exit “refuse to put the United States first.”

And sixth, the fact that this statement exists is ridiculous, since civil litigation is far from the reach of the United States prosecutor’s office.

The strange written statement was so offensive that Democratic Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut wrote onlineIn response to Martin, “this is crazy. If you wonder why some of us think that the rule of law is about to fall, it is this. “

In case someone needs a reminder, Martin is a republican operation for a long time with a record as an activist against the abortion of the extreme right, organizer of the wrong ones “Stop the theftMovement and a lawyer who represents on January 6 criminals.

Last week, the president announced that The nominal would The lawyer of the Republican party, which is already had a very controversial possession As the main prosecutor in one of the most important law offices of the Nation, to stay right where it is, eliminating the word “interim” of its title.

Senate confirmation hearings are still not scheduled will be interesting.
