Martin, who holds the roles of Director of the Weaponization Working Group, Associate Deputy Attorney General, and Pardon Attorney, made the comments during an interview with Tucker Carlson.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/ed%20martin.JPG?itok=y5EcVCBz\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Martin weighed in the unresolved case of the January 6, 2021, pipe bomber,<\/strong> expressing frustration with the investigation\u2019s lack of progress, wondering whether the lack of answers may have been intentional. \u201cThe pipe bomber\u2014as a prosecutor &#8211; <strong>I\u2019ve got the pipe bomber case in my office,<\/strong>\u201d Martin told Carlson. Martin revealed FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino told him that the bureau had reassigned agents to the case, however, the renewed effort was still in it early stages. \u201cIt\u2019s been going on for five weeks?\u201d Martin said, likening the past probe to the bumbling \u201cKeystone Cops.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Starts at 16 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ed Martin was on his way to cleaning up Washington as the new U.S. Attorney, until Senate Republicans decided he was too sincere and killed his nomination.<\/p>\n<p>(0:00) Introduction<br \/>\n(1:20) Ed Martin\u2019s Response to the Crazed Leftist Who Spit in His Face<br \/>\n(7:21) Why Would Republican\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WBtNxdnAqg\">pic.twitter.com\/WBtNxdnAqg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TuckerCarlson\/status\/1922699037465104893?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 14, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Martin further criticized the FBI\u2019s previously handling of the case, alleging that basic investigative steps were overlooked. \u201c<strong>They didn\u2019t interview some of the people that you would have said, \u2018That might be a suspect.\u2019 <\/strong>They hadn\u2019t interviewed him,\u201d he said.

Jim Jordan (R-OH), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, had pressed FBI Director Kash Patel in a March 7 letter for information and records allegedly withheld during the tenure of former FBI Director Christopher Wray.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In response, FBI Assistant Director Marshall Yates provided an initial batch of documents covering key issues, including the investigation into pipe bombs discovered near the Democratic and Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C., in January 2021, as well as the FBI\u2019s interactions with social media platforms and probes into threats against school officials.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan\u2019s push for transparency began with a February 24 letter, sent shortly after Patel\u2019s confirmation as FBI Director. The letter targeted Wray\u2019s leadership, accusing him of \u201cslow-walking\u201d the pipe bomb investigation tied to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot and questioning the FBI\u2019s use of \u201cconfidential human sources\u201d during the event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some Republicans have claimed FBI informants were active on January 6, <\/strong>a claim partially substantiated by a December 2024 report from the FBI\u2019s inspector general.
