“I Am Your Retribution”

He said it and he meant it.

BARTIROMO: What about the January 6 committee? Did they destroy evidence? Is there criminality there?

ED MARTIN: Of course. Trust me, a lot of people did not get a pardon that were involved in the select committee, and they ought to be keeping an eye on their mailbox. pic.twitter.com/xRelaTtlyp

FFS:

BARTIROMO: What have you leaned about January 6?

ED MARTIN: The federal government, the DOJ, targeted these citizens. The FBI and others were putting American citizens on terrorism watchlists. They were targeting the American people. It was a political hoax. pic.twitter.com/lJqNAaRHTR

Ed Martin, you’ll recall, was the guy they tried to make the US Attorney for DC and he was too extreme even for the potted plants in the GOP Senate to confirm. He had defended the January 6th insurrectionists and raised money for them. Naturally, after his nomination was eventually withdrawn, the DOJ immediately hired him and put him in charge of the retribution portfolio.

I suspect everyone who worked on the January 6th Committee should retain legal representation. They are determined to keep trying to erase what happened that day. It’s ineffectual hand-waving since we all watched it happen on live TV but they can successfully harass the people who tried to hold them accountable.

This is the guy who will do it. And he’s certifiably insane.
