As you’ve heard, MAGA activist Ed Martin, the former acting D.C. U.S. Attorney who behaved like Laura Loomer on meth during his short tenure, has been “promoted” to the Department of Justice where he’s in charge of the “weaponization group” looking at all the enemies within who had the nerve to try to investigate his Dear Leader. Here’s what he had to say today about his new duties:
“There are some really bad actors, some people that did some really bad things to the American people. And if they can be charged, we’ll charge them. But if they can’t be charged, we will name them. And we will name them, and in a culture that respects shame, they should be people that are ashamed. And that’s a fact. That’s the way things work. And so that’s, that’s how I believe the job operates.”
Lol. A “culture that respects shame?” That may be the funniest thing I’ve heard all week, especially coming from a hardcore MAGA cultist.
And speaking of shamelessness, NBC reminds us of this:
During Trump’s first tenure, the justification given for Trump’s firing of former FBI Director James Comey was that Comey had given a press conference in which he released “derogatory information” about then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016.
“Derogatory information sometimes is disclosed in the course of criminal investigations and prosecutions, but we never release it gratuitously,” then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein wrote in a memo, adding that he believed Comey had given a “textbook example of what federal prosecutors and agents are taught not to do.”
Too funny.
