This is essentially the US Attorney for DC saying that MAGA Congresspeople can commit crimes, including assault, and he will not prosecute them.

Reposted from Eric Blair

This is an INCREDIBLY serious story for Washington, DC.

There is one prosecutor for DC: the federal/DOJ US Attorney for DC. That's a Trump-appointed position now. The Trump appointee is corrupt, venal, MAGA.

Here the DC police wanted to prosecute a crime, and the Trump USAO SAID NO. 1/

The problem for them is that even MAGA cops will respond to their violent crime and, if necessary, kill them. So, fine, let them own illegal weapons- but if you USE them, all bets are off.

So if loyal to Trump you can assault anyone.

1 month in and this is where we are. It’s not going to get better till states stand up.

I absolutelyl DO NOT advocate vigilante action, but it is not difficult to see what might cause it.

Worth noting that the US Attorney in question, the US Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ed Martin, hasn't yet been confirmed by the Senate. Without that he's limited in how long he can serve in his current acting capacity. It's crucial that he not be confirmed.
