BREAKING NEWS: Rep. Vindman Subject of Interim D.C. U.S. attorney Ed Martin Demand
By FXBG Advance Staff
A Washington Post story this evening reported that “Interim D.C. U.S. attorney Ed Martin has sent another letter to a Democratic congressman and critic of President Donald Trump, demanding information in what Democratic lawmakers say is a potential abuse of his prosecutorial power.”
In a press release this evening, Vindman’s office wrote that Vindman “condemns” what he called “an unhinged letter from the acting U.S. Attorney of the District of Columbia.”
“Since he's become President, Trump's been focused on weaponizing government and lying to intimidate and silence public servants like me, and it’s not going to work. He is punishing people who believe in democracy like my constituents – FBI agents, prosecutors, military officials, federal workers, and intelligence agency leaders who disagree with him. It's dangerous and deeply disturbing. He’s angry that we stand in the way and will hold him accountable.”
“While Trump promised that his number one priority would be to lower prices, he is instead spending his time focused on spewing lies and harassing people that serve this country honorably.”
“How is enacting a retribution campaign going to help lower the cost of living for folks in the Seventh District and across the country? Spoiler alert, it is not.”
“Those who wrote and encouraged this weird attempt at intimidation are lying.”

I'm interested to know what President Trump has said about Rep. Vindman that is a lie? Perhaps it's just that Vindman supports racial discrimination through DEI, higher cost of living through reckless government spending, or maybe the funding of terrorist organizations through USAID? As to the weaponization of agencies, Rep Vindman has wonderful examples to point to in every alphabet department run by the leftist bureaucracy of Obama and Biden. Mayhap, he can explain why the Dept of Energy, HUD, FDA, Dept of Education, FEMA, (the list goes on) have a need for armed agents and SWAT teams armed with real full-auto assault rifles and sniper rifles? Why were they expending $millions on ammunition each year?
That is the party and the bureaucracy that Rep. Vindman is supporting and has sold himself to be a part of, trying desperately to avoid the light, while pointedly crying "LOOK! SHINY!" He's just a typical leftist Democrat sucking on the Soros backed teat.
