DC US Attorney Ed Martin Issues Statement After Rep. Jasmine Crockett Is Caught on Tape Physically Attacking Journalist – Laura Loomer Notes a Concerning Element in Martin’s Response
It remains an open question whether far-left Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) will face justice for her unprovoked attack on an intrepid journalist who confronted her in the hallway even as interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia has weighed in.
As The Gateway Pundit reported , Loomer Unleashed DC Correspondent Charles Downs last Tuesday attempted to confront Crockett about her disgusting remarks about Tesla and Musk as she walked down a hallway. She initially tried to ignore Downs while laughing and talking to Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN).
Downs, though, continued to pursue Crockett and asked her to clarify her anti-Tesla comments. Right before the video ended, Crockett lost her temper and tried to steal the journalist’s phone.

Crockett’s long fingernails scratched the top of Downs’s hand, leaving a red mark and indentations. This seemingly qualified as an assault, inadvertent or not.
Laura Loomer responded to the incident by demanding that House Speaker Mike Johnson censure Crockett for attacking Downs and for the congresswoman to be investigated.
On Thursday, Downs was interviewed by Capitol Hill police, who told him that they had referred the report to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. As TGP readers know, MAGA champion Ed Martin is the office’s interim United States Attorney.
Martin responded to the Crockett incident with Downs this afternoon.
“As I have said from Day One, no one is above the law,” Martin wrote on X. “The matter is currently under review by law enforcement authorities.”
“If it is referred to the U.S. Attorney’s office, we will follow the proper procedures to determine whether charges are appropriate,” he added.

Loomer expressed gratitude for Martin’s candor but noticed a concerning element in his statement, which raises doubts about the Capitol police.
“His (Martin’s) statement implied that the Capitol Police have not yet referred the police report to the US Attorney’s office, despite the fact that US Capitol Police told Charles Downs last week that they referred the police report to the US Attorney’s office, she wrote. “Why are the Capitol police lying?”

If Loomer is correct, this would be another despicable example of the two-tiered law enforcement on the part of the Capitol Police. Recall how some assaulted peaceful J6 protesters and even killed one. All because these Americans were exercising their First Amendment rights.
