A bar official might have violated his own ethics standards by “selectively” initiating disciplinary action against a senior Justice Department official, a conservative group alleged on Friday.
Ed Martin, the current Department of Justice (DOJ) Pardon Attorney, is facing disciplinary charges over a letter he sent while serving as interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. The letter warned Georgetown University’s law school that its office would not hire its students due to the school’s diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices.
The Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) filed its own bar complaint Friday urging an “immediate investigation into [District of Columbia Bar Disciplinary Counsel Hamilton P. “Phil” Fox III] for his selective targeting of Ed Martin seemingly for Martin’s work in carrying out the objectives and goals of the President of the United States for whom he works.”
“When bar complaints take the form of partisan witch hunts, the public can hardly feel assured that justice is being sought in a fair and nonpartisan fashion,” it states. “Fox’s selective partisan initiation of disciplinary proceedings is without merit and undermines the very spirit of the law.”
