In the 1979 horror classic “When a Stranger Calls” a babysitter keeps getting crank phone calls from a stranger asking her to “check the children.” At first, the babysitter blows off the calls as just a practical joke, but as the calls increase in frequency and the intensity of their threats, she finally calls the police, who ask her to keep the caller on the line long enough to trace the call. The babysitter does just that, and in one of the most famous scenes in horror movie history, the police tell the babysitter, “THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!”
As two women who have been the victims of the Department of Justice’s political persecutions for our involvement in organizing the completely peaceful and lawful speech that President Donald J. Trump delivered on the Ellipse on January 6, 2021, we know firsthand that the call is coming from inside the house at the Department of Justice.
We unequivocally support President Trump’s nomination of Ed Martin as United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. We know Ed Martin and are honored to call him a friend and fellow foot soldier in the fight to Make America Great Again.
Under the administration of President Joe Biden, Attorney General Merrick Garland has been allowed – and indeed encouraged – to politicize the Department of Justice. To turn a once well-respected and independent arm of the Executive into little more than a tool for the regime to prosecute their political opponents.
Under the Biden administration, Attorney General Garland used the power of federal government to attempt to sideline the Republican nominee for President – not only bringing sham cases against President Trump in DC and in southern Florida – but also coordinating with prosecutors in New York and Georgia to bring equally baseless and politically motivated prosecutions.
Not content with using lawfare to attempt to short circuit the Democratic process, Biden’s DOJ went after average Americans – Americans like us. Americans who were guilty of absolutely nothing more than supporting a candidate the regime didn’t like.
Merrick Garland’s DOJ turned a blind eye to the thousands and thousands of violent protestors from the summer of 2020 – protestors who caused more than $2 billion in damages – while at the same time using the full extent of federal power to punish grandmothers who walked into the Capitol building peacefully on January 6th.
Merrick Garland and the Biden administration tried to ruin us, they tried to bankrupt us, they tried to destroy our family, so it would be understandable if we wanted revenge.
The nomination of Ed Martin is not, however, about revenge. The nomination of Ed Martin is about balancing the scales of justice. It is about rooting out the partisan political career bureaucrats at the Department of Justice and putting the blindfold back on Lady Justice.
It is time to bring justice back to the Department of Justice, it is time to restore trust and faith in one of the most important parts of the federal government, and – most importantly – it is time to be able to look the American people in the eye and tell them that what has happened on Merrick Garland’s watch will never, ever happen again.
Ed is the perfect man for this job. He will be fearless, he knows what it’s like to be in the crosshairs of the regressive left, and he has never backed down.
Not only does Ed have a spine of steel, but he is also the ultimate outsider.
Ed is not a part of the broken and corrupt system that has politicized the Department of Justice and left tens of millions of Americans with little to no faith in the fair adjudication of law in our system.
The Department of Justice will never reform itself – it’s like expecting career politicians to suddenly vote for term limits. It will take an outsider, a fearless outsider, and that outsider is Ed Martin.
If we want to continue to be a constitutional republic, then the scales of Justice MUST be balanced once again.
Americans voted for Donald J Trump to take a wrecking ball to the broken Washington DC establishment, and President Trump has entrusted Ed Martin with the responsibility of reforming a critical part of the DOJ and ensuring that the blindfold is returned to Lady Justice. Senators of both parties should respect the will of the American people and vote to confirm Ed Martin as United States Attorney for the District of Columbia
