Most Americans have never heard of Ed Martin, but his name will likely be on a lot of people’s lips in the very near future. Martin is the interim US Attorney for the District of Columbia, and he has ruffled the feathers of some Democrats in the nation’s capital, as well as their stenographers in the establishment media. What is being called Operation Whirlwind – at least, that’s what Martin is calling it – is targeting elected officials who have publicly made what could reasonably be described as violent threats against political opponents.
On Monday, Feb. 17, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) received letters from Martin, inviting them to explain threats they appear to have made against public officials.
We’ll see.
As long as the threats were made in the District, they are guaranteed of acquittal.
At first I thought this was the new Chairman of the DNC, KEN Martin, making those remarks and I was wondering why he would do that. Then I realized this is a different “Martin.”
Great. There are SO many Dems making inflammatory, dangerous and violent rhetoric. All of them need to be brought up on charges.
Enough with the “sternly worded letter” crap. It is always ineffective and makes you a laughing stock.
But they are televised being perpwalked in handcuffs and leg irons around the Capitol building, it will be worth it.
There’s a limit to who Trump can go after. Too many and the fence-sitters will turn away from him.
Pick one or 2 from the Epstein Island list that will soon come out, even if one’s a republican.
Then go after Omar for marrying her brother.
Pedophilia and incest-who’s gonna complain?
Trump’s been actin on the 80-20 issues where 80% can agree on. He should continue.
“Ed Martin needs to pass on the names of those making such violent criminal threats to AG Bondi so that arrest warrants can be issued. “
I believe Martin works for Bondi. I really doubt he is going solo on this.
Yup. I’m a non-violent person, so this is strictly metaphorical. How would you rather kill a cruel opponent: guillotine or death by a thousand cuts?
But they are televised being perpwalked...
Grounds for expulsion from Congress.
What elected members say while in the legislative chambers, or perhaps within the walls of the Capitol, is protected against criminal and civil charges. Outside, say, on the steps of the Capitol they are responsible for their speech and could get arrested and tried for threats of violence.
Just wait to see any congressional names when AG Bondi releases Epstein's list.
Perhaps I am being overly dramatic, but with the way the rhetoric and threats are ramping up on the other side, that is, the Democrat side, I’m beginning to wonder if it’s not going to devolve into a hot Civil War fairly soon.
I’ve been thinking the same thing. The Dems tried to assassinate President Trump twice last summer and I think that, plus all this unhinged Dem rhetoric, is amping up the hot internal war chances a lot. Thank God we’ve got President Trump and a solid cabinet plus both houses of Congress to squash that.
The first foreign POS that needs to be locked up is that Peruvian illegal alien, Bo Bo Garcia (RAT-CA), who wants to start shooting opponents in a “bar fight” as if he’s Jose of “Come A Little Bit Closer” fame. The boy has a lot of issues, IMHO. He needs to go. I will be contacting my Congressman to suggest that my concern about Bo Bo be investigated by the House Ethics committee.
I’m for free speech. Let them be so we can all see what fools they are.
Actual threats should be investigated, as they always have been.
It’s not so.much the threats against the President or Elon or members of his Cabinet that I’m thinking of. Some of the people I see online want to go after the President’s supporters... you and me.
