D.C. U.S. Attorney Probing Democrats Over Alleged Threats, Documents Show
20th February 2025
Washington Poop, a Voice of the Crust.
‘Alleged threats’? We all see them daily on TV.
The top federal prosecutor in D.C. escalated his scrutiny of what he characterized as potential threats directed at billionaire Elon Musk and government workers, demanding information from a Democratic congressman who criticized Musk and telling his office he planned to prosecute anyone targeting public officials, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post.
Just like a Democrat!
In an all-staff email to prosecutors, interim D.C. U.S. attorney Ed Martin on Wednesday announced “Operation Whirlwind,” a new initiative to prosecute threats against public officials at all levels — a problem that has escalated in recent years.
Mostly by Democrats.
The email was obtained by The Post, as well as additional “letters of inquiry” sent by Martin to Rep. Robert Garcia (D-California) and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-New York). Martin requested Garcia “clarify” statements regarding Musk on CNN last week and stepped up a previously reported demand that Schumer explain statements about two conservative Supreme Court justices in 2020.
‘We’re coming for you!’ doesn’t appear to need much explanation.
“Free speech has limits and threatening government workers crosses the line,” Martin wrote in the email, which he said came after he spoke the previous night with a senior Musk aide about threats against U.S. DOGE Service workers. “We will stop the storm of threats against officials at all levels.”
Sauce for the goose….
