Trump DOJ Lawyer CHARGED in DC Bar Ethics Investigation - Glenn Kirschner



All the "King's" Men: Trump's lackeys and their disservice to America

It seems like sometimes accountability can take forever. And then, it comes all at once.

Remember all those Trump lawyers who got disbarred as a result of what they did during Trump's first presidential rodeo: Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro, and others?

Well, some other lawyers didn't really pay attention to that cautionary tale. One of them is Ed Martin. Donald Trump tried to make Martin the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia – the city's top prosecutor – but Senate Republicans said, 'not so fast, that's a bridge too far even for us', and refused to confirm Martin.

And now, accountability is coming for Ed Martin,

The New York Times just reported: "DC Bar begins disciplinary proceedings against Ed Martin. A new legal filing accused Mr. Martin, a senior Justice Department official, of an unethical pressure campaign against Georgetown University."

I just sat down to discuss this development with my friend and fellow former career federal prosecutor, Kevin Flynn, in a segment we call The Prosecutor's Verdict. - Glenn Kirschner - 03/12/2026.

In his second attempt at mimicking a human, on their best days rise to the level of "lackeys!" By comparison, the laughingstock Rudy was a paragon, albeit not even qualified to run his routine as an afterthought to Abbott and Costello. Maybe Stooge #7?
