One of the more rabid MAGAts in Washington is the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ed Martin, who has vowed to protect President Elon "Dick" Musk from his opponents, among other affronts to justice. Now, he's protecting a fellow MAGAt, Rep. Cory Mills (FL) who was accused of assaulting his apparent girlfriend (Mills is married, of course) by refusing to sign the arrest warrant:
"Police in Washington D.C. reportedly tried to arrest a Republican member of Congress for an alleged act of domestic violence, but U.S. Attorney Ed Martin is apparently not signing the arrest warrant.
That's according to a Monday article by NBC 4 Washington, which reported that an arrest warrant for Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) was sent back to D.C. Metropolitan Police unsigned. According to the report, Martin – who is the Department of Justice's top prosecutor in D.C. — said the case merited "further investigation" after declining to sign the warrant.
NBC 4 noted that in the police report, an unidentified 27 year-old woman who was not Mills' wife accused Mills of assaulting her at his apartment. The alleged victim said Mills 'grabbed her, shoved her and pushed her out of the door' and showed responding officers bruises that officers on the scene described as 'fresh.'" (our emphasis)
Martin, who recently claimed that he and his lawyers were "President Trump's lawyers," previously served as president of the right-wing Christofascist group "Phyllis Schafley Eagles," named after the late crusader against women's rights and other right wing causes. His "X" account is peppered with quotes from the Bible, to give you an idea. He has no experience as a prosecutor or jurist, but is a true believer who won't enforce the law if it impinges on fellow MAGAts.
