US Attorney Warns He'll Target Anyone Who Impedes Elon Musk’s DOGE
The Epoch Times ^ | February 3, 2025 | Jack Phillips

‘We will pursue any and all legal action against anyone who impedes your work or threatens your people,’ interim U.S. Attorney for D.C. Ed Martin wrote to Musk.

The acting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia released a statement Monday assuring he will take legal action against any attempts to impede Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

“We must keep all our American government employees safe and we must protect the American people’s property,” interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin wrote in a letter addressed to Musk, released on X, adding that “anyone imperiling others [is] violating our laws.”

“We will pursue any and all legal action against anyone who impedes your work or threatens your people.”

He did not elaborate on who might be issuing threats or impeding DOGE’s work, though he made allusions to Black Lives Matter protests and riots, along with Antifa activity, in 2020.

“Late last week, we indicted an economist who worked at the Fed for economic espionage for the Communist Chinese,” he wrote. “Please be very aware that there are those who are acting against our American people in every way.”

Musk, who reposted Martin’s letter on Monday, formed DOGE in cooperation with the Trump administration with the stated goal of finding ways to reduce government spending by cutting wasteful programs and slashing federal regulations.

Well, it’s been all over X. These thugs have been partially doxxing the savant kids who are dismantling USAID. Also, a lot of people are walking right up to the edge of calling for assassinations against Musk, his team, and Trump. These people need to dealt with swiftly and severely before any actual violence occurs.

Swift examples need to be made like big production raids like they did to us. Start putting violent anti-Trump federal criminals in Gitmo. Cutesy time is over.

This is the same guy that sneered into the camera and warned “We will put Letisha James’ fat ass in prison!”. I like this guy. He fights.

Pretty sure Musk has got them totally covered, but these kids are truly remarkable.

It’s starting to look like Trump assembled a bus load of Mathew Whitakers to serve as interim chiefs. I’m liking what I’m seeing.

I’m just getting warmed up for some real winning. Not even close to being tired yet.

They did not “walk up to the line” the raced across it from the posting I have seen.

It is time the Alt Left learns they are NOT above the law.

If they were Democrats the headline would be: Blue Ribbon Presidential watchdog was brutally attacked in a pitched battle in the entrance of USAID building.
