We do need to contact our Senators to urge them to vote AGAINST CONFIRMATION for Mr Martin. Democratic Senators in particular, to prevent Mister “Go along to get along” Schumer for once again prevailing in doing the weak and stupid thing.
Democrats are starting to make “good trouble.” Let’s support them!

Top DOJ Prosecutor Speaks At J6 Fundraiser For Oath Keepers, Compares Them To WWII Interned Japanese
April 5, 2025 Trump Administration, Trump Corruption
Mother Jones reports:
The Trump administration’s top prosecutor for Washington, DC, spoke last month at a Florida fundraiser, where he criticized the Justice Department’s prosecutions of people involved in the January 6, 2021, attack on Congress. The speech was attended by numerous January 6 defendants, including former members of the far-right Oath Keepers militia who are still appealing their seditious conspiracy convictions in cases overseen by the DC United States Attorney’s Office.
In his keynote address at the event, acting US Attorney Ed Martin compared the prosecution of pro-Trump insurrectionists to the World War II incarceration of Japanese Americans, and argued Americans would soon come to see the Capitol riot prosecutions similarly. “I hope, in not too short a time that the people who did this to so many people over the last four years will similarly—I hope God gives them shame—but I hope that the culture recognizes…that this was a wrong that was done against American citizens,” he said.
