CNPer Ed Martin asked TFG to pardon Roger Stone for Stone’s obstruction of the Wikileaks investigation. Stone had hidden his ties to Jerome Corsi, his WL conduit, who also was involved in the sketchy events preceding the reopened HRC email probe. Martin is close to Corsi too. 1/

21/ Ed Martin’s CNP buddy, Jerome Corsi, also is the guy who led the “swift boating” hit on John Kerry in 2004. The rot runs deep with the CNP (and Roger Stone). h/t @rocksuitcase

22/ The World Congress of Families is the top organization linking the Kremlin to the Christian Right.

23/ Ed Martin, who personally promoted the unfounded Stop the Steal campaign, is now promoting an article by former AG Bill Barr, which acknowledges that the claims v Dominion were unfounded, but nonetheless concludes that Fox shld face no consequences for platforming them.

24/ From the article promoted by Ed Martin who himself promoted the unfounded Stop the Steal campaign.

25/ About the CNP (to which Ed Martin belongs).

26/ Tom Fitton, eh? He’s the head of “Judicial Watch,” which (like Jerome Corsi) is featured in Stone’s book about the successful effort to force Comey to publicly reopen the HRC email probe b4 the election.

27/ Here’s where Stone discusses Judicial Watch in his book.

28/ Oh.

29/ Wow.

30/ Tom Fitton is now the president of the CNP to which Ed Martin belongs. As mentioned, Jerome Corsi sat on the CNP’s Board of Governors in 2020.

31/ Aaaand back to Roger Stone.

32/ Just like his CNP cohort Ed Martin. The CNP sure seemed to want Roger Stone’s help.

33/ This is where Trump used Twitter to successfully pressure Bill Barr to reduce its sentencing recommendation for Stone. Seems Tom Fitton chimed in too. 👀

34/ Seems Tom Fitton was indeed inner circle “Stop the Steal.”

35/

36/ More on Tim Fitton who (like Ed Martin) successfully championed the notion of a Roger Stone pardon. Both of them are CNP.

37/ I would not pop the champagne just yet but thank God.

38/ What a snake pit. #CNP #RogerStone

39/

40/ Tom Fitton seems to be a shameless hypocrite (at best).

41/

42/ About Amy Kremer. She set up a PAC w/ Stone’s ex-wife in 2016. @WendySiegelman

43/

44/ Sounds like the 7 Mountains. To be continued. 👀

45/ Ed Martin and Sidney Powell have been close since 2019 at the latest.

46/ Ed Martin’s organization, the Schlafly Eagles, even gave Sidney Powell an award. Notice how Sidney Powell tagged Code of Vets.

47/ @patriottakes

48/

49/

50/ My little exchange with Code of Vets last year

51/ Ed Martin & disgraced retired General Mike Flynn now run an organization called America’s Future. Most people have never heard of Ed Martin. But he has been in the eye of the storm from the beginning. Seems he still is.

52/ As I said, in his quest to maintain power, Trump gave the Christian Right everything they requested. https://t.co/BmtHdplfmb

Here’s the article he cited 55/ archive.ph/2021.06.17-180…

56/ From 2018. https://t.co/nD9hvJYd6u

57/ “Orders, General Ali?” - Ed Martin, Phyllis Schlafly Eagles

58/ This was the order: “Victory or Death!”

59/ 👀

60/ Archived post 57.

61/ Ed Martin has called Roger Stone “a great friend.” https://t.co/d6iNmCAOzs

62/ “A former Missouri GOP chairman [Ed Martin] subpoenaed last week by the House committee investigating the Capitol riot is now a lead attorney for an Olathe Proud Boy charged in the insurrection.” 12/14/21 kansascity.com/news/politics-…

63/ Ed Martin helped organize a rally in Allentown in August 2017 to chase Charlie Dent, a moderate Republican, from office. politico.com/story/2017/09/…

64/ Wonder what the MAGAs did to him and/or his family behind the scenes.

65/ Ed Martin seemed to think he got Charlie Dent to “quit” as early as September 2017, two weeks after his MAGA rally in Allentown (which was on the heels of Charlottesville btw).

66/ Here’s what it is. MAGAs got Charlie Dent to announce his “retirement” w/in. 2 weeks of Ed Martin’s Allentown rally and then Dent abruptly resigned before his term was even up. Seriously, what did they do to him or his family?

67/ Ed Martin with John Guandolo and other assorted bad actors.

68/ This is why Guandolo caught my eye especially. 🥵 https://t.co/gkv5jBpiEmflux.community/kyle-mantyla/2…

69/ Ed Martin pretended there was no plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Eight months later, the co-leader of the plot was sentenced to 16 years in prison. Which Martin did not apparently tweet about.

“Fuck the voting. Let’s get right to the violence.” - Roger Stone, a good friend of Ed Martin, on 11/2/20

Ed Martin collaborating w/ Roger Stone & Breitbart News back in 2016 re: “Stop the Steal.” 74/ https://t.co/A3pYjc6ckC

Eric Metaxas is another religious zealot. He MC’d the Dec 12, 2020 Jericho March that Ed Martin helped organize w/ Ali Alexander & Stephen Brown. 75/

Here’s the video. Eric Metaxas also said something to the effect that their “belief” is what matters, not what they can “prove in court.” And bc they “believe” it was stolen, they must “fight to the death, the last drop of blood.” 76/

77/ Ed Martin signed this 2019 letter supporting Steve Ming, as did New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) dominionist leaders, including Jim Garlow and Lance Wallnau. So Martin had crossed paths w/ the NAR even before Wallnau spoke at his Jericho March. rightwingwatch.org/post/religious…

79/ Interesting backstory. Click to read whole post.

80/ Holy sh#t. As discussed above, Ed Martin is the president of the Schlafly Eagles.

82/ Well whaddaya know? Ed Martin promoted the 2018 “Stop the Steal” campaign in Florida too. This was another Stone op where Ali Alexander served as Stone’s front man. @TheJusticeDept https://t.co/XUbNaoTOzB

83/ Trump has said that he personally sent in FBI agents and US Attorneys to intervene in the 2018 Florida recount. There are no official records of this, as one might expect of rogue agents engaged in criminal activity. Or else Trump made it up.

84/ Ed Martin, Rand Paul, and “Stop the Steal” 2020. https://t.co/CbLqnHPdY2

85/ “Rand Paul Goes To Russia And Delivers Letter For Trump” - 8/9/18 npr.org/2018/08/09/636…

86/ Rand Paul is, of course, Ron Paul’s son.

87/

88/ Convicted former Oath Keepers leader, Stewart Rhodes, was a former Ron Paul aide.

89/ Thread.

90/ “Many have also seen the visuals of…Rand Paul hobnobbing in Moscow this week with members of the Russian Council, sometimes called his ‘counterparts.’ These included the chairman of the council's foreign policy panel, Konstantin Kosachev…npr.org/2018/08/09/636…

91/ … who happens to be under official U.S. sanction for his government's actions against our government.” 8/9/18

92/ Some photos of Konstantin Kosachev and Ed Martin’s associate Rand Paul, son of Ron Paul, and a promoter of “Stop the Steal” 2020.

93/ Some info re: Konstantin Kosachev (from a bipartisan congressional report). “The Committee found that Kosachev is significantly involved in Russian influence operations, including those targeting the United Stares. He was sanctioned by the United States in 2018.”

WTAF?! Christian Right leader Ed Martin, who is a “great friend” of Roger Stone & was a top “Stop the Steal” partner (who tweeted “We are all Oath Keepers now” > Jan 6), was a “NO SHOW” for his subpoenaed Jan 6 depo testimony. @TheJusticeDept 94/ https://t.co/ihV8fSw3t7s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2356…

Yike. From 2018. 95/ archive.ph/2023.03.26-231…

100/ As I mentioned, Ed Martin blew off the Jan 6 Committee’s subpoena. @DOJCrimDiv https://t.co/2IOSsBlUZmarchive.ph/2023.05.22-203…

101/

102/ The man w/ the axe handle is apparently Proud Boys leader William Chrestman who is or was the client of CNP member Ed Martin—a “Christian Right” leader, attorney, & good friend of Roger Stone—who helped promote “Stop the Steal” & blew off a Jan 6 subpoena. This video. 😳
