Ed Martin Facing DC Bar Investigation After Shenanigans At Georgetown University
DOJ's pardon attorney and January 6th supporter, Ed Martin, is facing disciplinary proceedings by the DC Bar after he levied threats against Georgetown University Law Center related to federal funding regarding their DEI measures.
ABC News is reporting that the Martin allegedly "improperly threatened to withhold federal funding from Georgetown University's law school and then attempted to sideline an investigation into his conduct while serving as D.C.'s top federal prosecutor last year, according to a disciplinary petition."
A petition filed last week to the D.C. Bar's Office of Disciplinary Counsel claims that Martin engaged in "conduct that seriously interferes with the administration of justice" by "allegedly demanding that a judge suspend the attorney investigating his actions"!!!!
So, not only did he allegedly do something illegal, but he demanded that the judge investigating his actions STOP investigating him. That is real mob stuff.
The petition said: "Mr. Martin knew or should have known that, as a government official, his conduct violated the First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States."
Martin, while serving as the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia in 2025, threatened to "withhold federal funding and freeze hirings from Georgetown University Law Center over allegations that the school was promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) measures."
