Miranda Devine: Trump’s ultra-MAGA man who oversaw prez’s ‘year of mercy’

See more of our coverage in your search results.

Ed Martin is finishing up as pardon attorney next week. Under his guidance, President Trump has pardoned hundreds of victims of the Biden administration’s weaponization of the justice system against Trump and anyone who supported him. The devout Catholic restored their reputations and their dignity in his short 15-month tenure that he calls “Trump’s year of mercy.”

His critics sneer at him while quaking in their boots because Martin is a happy warrior who has achieved an awful lot in a short time.

He also served for four months as interim DC US attorney, during which time he managed to oversee the dismissal of all J6 prosecutions after Trump’s mass pardons and commutations, fire the overzealous prosecutors who weaponized the law against the innocent and put Sen. Chuck Schumer on notice over his threats to Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh outside the Supreme Court at an abortion-rights rally in March 2020.

He was also named special attorney for mortgage fraud at DOJ, where he oversaw investigations of New York AG Letitia James, Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook and Democrat Sen. Adam Schiff, the Russiagate plotter.

He wore another hat at the DOJ where he was associate deputy AG running the Weaponization Working Group, launching investigations into the Biden DOJ’s targeting of Catholics, school board parents and pro-life activists. He said these partisan witch hunts were run by Lisa Monaco, deputy AG under Merrick Garland.

It rankles Martin that she has been rewarded handsomely for her conduct with a prestigious high-paying job at Microsoft as president of global affairs.
