Credit where due: Martin's letter to Wikipedia was first reported a few hours ago by The Free Press, whose story is honestly more balanced and thorough than I might have expected: https://www.thefp.com/p/trump-prosecutor-threatens-wikipedia

As ProPublica reported, he should have been disbarred for ghostwriting FB posts for a friend to harass and DM a judge in a case accusing Martin of ruining a conservative org.
Anybody remember the hilariously terrible Conservapedia? Compiled by a crew of distinctly mediocre homeschoolers and presided over by Phyllis Schlaffly’s very odd son?
That, ladies and gents, is the abject dreck the Trumpers want us all to subsist on.
Literally, because Schlafly promoted several liberal trolls to admin level and they played a major role in shaping it (including banning any conservatives who tried to inject sanity).
No mention of Martin working with Andrew Schlafly, founder of Conservapedia, to seize control of Eagle Forum from Schlafly's sister after their mother passed.
Given how little respect Phyllis Schlafly had for women’s participation in any number of public institutions… I can’t seem to summon up the tears for seeing the boys making her signature jingoistic enterprise into an(other) “no girls in charge” space.

That said Ed Martin is an expert in sockpuppetry.

They could just go do that, right? No one is going to bother them there.

It’s a painful joke how bad the quality is.
