#EdMartin’s …appearances on #RT surged again in 2021, when he did roughly 60 spots, compared w/ 50 over the prior 4½ years. He was often asked about #Jan6, 2021, Capitol riot prosecutions, 3 of whose defendants HE REPRESENTED, & mounting federal & state investigations of #Trump, which he strongly & repeatedly criticized.

Fmr US #NationalSecurity ofcls & analysts said #EdMartin’s #RT & #Sputnik appearances, & his failure to disclose them, raise questions about his judgment & candor. The #DC #USAttorney’s office is the largest in the country & has wide jurisdiction to prosecute important national security offenses. Its leader should be alert to the threats & risks posed by #Russia & other #influence operations from overseas, such as the ones the office has prosecuted in recent years….

In early 2022, #EdMartin told an interviewer on the same arm of #RT’s global network that “there’s no evidence” of a Russian military buildup on #Ukraine’s borders, criticizing US officials as warmongering & ignoring #Russia’s security concerns. Russia invaded 9 days later, igniting a war that continues today.

Martin is now interim #USAttorney for #DC & #Trump’s pick to serve full time in the role.

Continued thread

Hours before #Trump announced US missile strikes on #Syria in response to a chemical attack that killed 90 civilians in April 2017, Ed Martin said on the Russian state television network #RT America that Syrian President Bashar al-#Assad might not be to blame. Instead, Martin told viewers, the situation was “engineered” in Washington “by the people that want war in Syria.”

More #FactCheck of #TrumpLies & the idiocy & malignancy of #Trump’s #comments about #Ukraine, #Zelenskyy, #Russia & #Putin.
Holding a fair election that meets international standards would be nearly impossible w/ at least a ⅕ of the country occupied by Russia, millions of Ukrainians living outside the country & tens of thousands of others deployed to fight.
