DC Bar official who targeted Ed Martin hit with complaint after partisan posts

From the Washington Examiner 

A District of Columbia Bar official who quietly withdrew from an ethics investigation into President Donald Trump’s pardon attorney Ed Martin last month is now facing a new disciplinary complaint of his own.

The Center to Advance Security in America, a conservative watchdog group, filed a complaint against D.C. Office of Disciplinary Counsel senior assistant attorney Jack Metzler, arguing that a series of public statements he made on X and Bluesky over the course of several years demonstrated a political bias that called into question his ability to participate fairly in disciplinary proceedings involving Martin, the former interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.

Fitzpatrick said CASA filed the complaint out of concern that Metzler’s history of partisan social media activity compromised the appearance of neutrality required in the disciplinary investigation against Martin, which centers on his correspondence with Georgetown University Law Center last year regarding its diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.
