Ed Martin Calls for Support!
The spotlight is on Ed Martin as he faces opposition in his pursuit of the position of DC US Attorney, a role recently nominated by Trump. This escalation comes amid concerns from January 6 prosecutors, who appear to feel threatened by Martinâs potential revelations.
Currently serving as the Acting US Attorney for Washington DC, Ed Martin has been proactive in addressing key issues, including threats against DOGE workers, which led to a surprising revelation about Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer being the target.
In a move that has raised eyebrows, Martin has initiated an investigation into former US Attorney Matthew Graves, scrutinizing the prosecution of over 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6 protests. Specifically, he is examining the alleged misuse of the obstruction charge under section 1512(c)(2).
Furthermore, it has been reported that Martin has made waves by demoting several Biden DOJ prosecutors, redirecting them to handle misdemeanor cases in the DC Superior Court. This includes notable figures such as John Crabb and Elizabeth Aloi, who had a hand in the convictions of Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro. Others, like Kathryn Rakoczy, were involved in the high-profile prosecutions of Oath Keepers’ founder Stewart Rhodes and his associates.
In response to Martinâs actions, five prosecutors connected to the January 6 cases have sought disciplinary measures against him, accusing him of dismissing critical cases and terminating DOJ prosecutors. This has prompted a call for support for Martin as he navigates this challenge.

The Honorable Chuck Grassley
Chairman, Judiciary Committee
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510Dear Chairman Grassley and Ranking Member Durbin,
I am writing to express my strong support for Edward R. Martin, Jr. and his confirmation as the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. Having known Ed for nearly two decades, both personally and professionally, I can attest to his qualifications, unwavering character, and commitment to public service.
Ed is not a man who seeks accolades; instead, he prioritizes resultsâconsistently and with integrity. My first encounter with him was during his tenure as Chief of Staff to then-Governor Matt Blunt in Missouri, where he demonstrated a unique blend of gravitas and approachability. He was a diligent worker with an open-door policy that endeared him to staff and constituents alike.
Recently, as U.S. Attorney in Washington, D.C., Ed’s dedication to President Trumpâs Executive Order âMaking the District of Columbia Safe and Beautifulâ has been commendable. He has actively engaged with MPD officers during evening patrols, not merely as a publicity stunt but to genuinely understand and address the issues facing our neighborhoods, fostering authentic connections with both officers and residents.
Notably, Attorney General Pam Bondi appointed Ed to the âWeaponization Working Group,â highlighting his legal expertise and moral clarity in the fight against the misuse of federal power. He recognizes the critical need to restore public trust in our institutions and approaches this responsibility with the seriousness it demands.
Edâs commitment to service extends beyond the legal realm. His early work with the Catholic Archdiocese of St. Louis, where he directed the Human Rights Office and enhanced legal access for the underprivileged, illustrates his lifelong dedication to justice and dignity for all. His efforts against antisemitism and bigotry stem not from political motivation but from his core values.
Above all, Ed is a person of profound faith, a devoted spouse and parent, and a servant leader. He exemplifies compassion and conviction in his leadership. I have witnessed his ability to make tough decisions alongside acts of kindness, whether it’s mentoring interns or providing quiet support to grieving families.
I strongly encourage the Committee to confirm Edward R. Martin, Jr. as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. His experience, integrity, and commitment to justice position him as an exemplary candidate, and our nation would greatly benefit from his continued leadership.
Respectfully,
[Your Full Name]
