C., as Martin wheels up to clean loyalists who weaponized the Justice Department against Joe Biden’s political opponents, including Trump, pro-life activists, and others.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has been the subject of an investigation into his remarks from March 2020 during a# MyRightMyDecision protest outside the Supreme Court, but he’s also taken a bold move. Schumer clearly threatened Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch, the Supreme Court nominees, with the new liberal majority, during the rally.
” I want to show you, Gorsuch, I want to show you, Kavanaugh: You have released the storm, and you will pay the price”, Schumer said to a chorus of applause. ” You won’t know what hit you if you go ahead with these terrible decisions”.

” If I had said that, I’d had two U. S. commanders in my company, or simply, perhaps in my house in the least, questioning me, questioning my household, questioning all here at Judicial Watch”, he said again in 2022. ” Anyone else I had talked to about that threat on the Supreme Court, Justice Roberts responded, rightly so, said that type of language is dangerous”.

While Martin’s actions are “likely to be welcomed by Trump and allies, who allege that the previous administration unfairly targeted them,”” career prosecutors who have served under presidents of both parties claim Martin is politicizing the office and potentially violating 50 years of Justice Department policy and practice intended to shield criminal prosecutions from political considerations,” the Post claims.
