In an almost off-handed way, President Trump extemporaneously revealed that the the United States had attacked a third alleged drug-smuggling boat off Venezuela, although he had not previously trumpeted the attack as he had the other two.

I wonder what happened or didn’t happen here. Did the boat not blow up to his satisfaction? Did not enough people die? Were they just fishermen?

Martin wears so many different hats at DOJ that I’ve lost count. But for the purposes of this particular bogosity I think it most matters that he’s head of the DOJ’s Weaponization Working Group and a special attorney to Attorney General Pam Bondi. ABC’s report actually refines his title in a way I hadn’t seen before: Special Attorney for Mortgage Fraud. Perfect.

“Ed Martin used to work for me at my Fraud Guarantee firm. He was in charge of guaranteeing that fraud actually occurred with every transaction. He did a great job.”
