President Donald Trump’s newly appointed top prosecutor, Ed Martin, has wasted no time getting to work.

Martin has launched “Operation Whirlwind,” a sweeping investigation into Democrats who have made inflammatory statements that could be construed as threats against public officials.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Ed Martin announced earlier this month that his office would be charging and arresting individuals who threatened Elon Musk’s DOGE team.

“Our initial review of the evidence presented to us indicates that certain individuals and/or groups have committed acts that appear to violate the law in targeting DOGE employees,” Ed Martin said.

“We are in contact with the FBI and other law enforcement partners to proceed rapidly. We also have our prosecutors preparing,” Ed Martin added.

Among the first to receive official inquiry letters are Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), both of whom have a history of reckless statements that could encourage political intimidation and harassment.

Last month, The Gateway Pundit reported the Department of Justice opened an investigation into Chuck Schumer for threatening Supreme Court justices during a pro-abortion rally back in 2020.

Chuck Schumer infamously stood on the steps of the Supreme Court and openly threatened Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh during an abortion rights rally.

“You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price! You won’t know what hit you!” Schumer bellowed, pointing aggressively toward the highest court in the land.”

At the time, even Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare rebuke, calling Schumer’s words “dangerous” and “irresponsible.”

Now, under Operation Whirlwind, Martin’s team is taking a deeper look into whether Schumer’s remarks directly contributed to the attempted assassination of Justice Kavanaugh in 2022, when a radical left-wing activist was caught outside the justice’s home armed with weapons and burglary tools.

Read Martin’s letter to Schumer:

As United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, I receive requests for information and clarification. I take these requests seriously and act on them with letters like this one today.

At this time, I am following up by email. I have previously sent you two letters – on January 21 and February 3. You have failed to respond which is a personal disappointment and professionally unacceptable. I attach the earlier two letters to this one.

Time is of the essence. You have now received three letters as well as public discussion. Your cooperation is more important than ever to complete this inquiry before any action is taken. I remind you: no one is above the law. Please be in touch by COB on Thursday, February 13, 2025.

I look forward to your cooperation with my letter of inquiry after requests.

Thank you in advance for your assistance with this. Should you have further questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to call my office or schedule a time to meet in person.

Also in the crosshairs is Rep. Robert Garcia, a California Democrat who has been accused of making veiled threats against Elon Musk.

Martin’s inquiry letter seeks clarification on past statements in which Garcia called for “actual weapons” to be used against Elon Musk.

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) appeared on CNN News Central with Brianna Keilar to discuss Wednesday’s DOGE subcommittee hearing, where he presented a picture of Musk and called it a “d**k pic.” Several of his Democrat colleagues also proceeded to degrade themselves during the critical hearing.

A concerned Keilar grilled Garcia, understandably skeptical that his childish antics would impair Democrats’ ability to counter Musk and the Trump administration.

“Do you think that calling Elon Musk a “d**k” is effective messaging for confronting what is a potentially irreversible transformation of the U.S. government?” Keilar asked.

Despite being given an out by the CNN anchor, Garcia chose instead to double down.

“Well, he is a d**k,” Garcia responded. “I also think he is harming the American public in an enormous way.”

Then Garcia seemed to call for violence against Musk, calling for “actual weapons” to be used against him.

“What the American public wants is for us to bring actual weapons against Elon Musk to this bar fight,” he continued. “This an actual fight for democracy, for the future of this country.”

Read the letter to Garcia:

As United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, I receive requests for information and clarification. I take these requests seriously and act on them with letters like this one you are receiving.

At this time, I respectfully request that you clarify your comments from February 12, 2025. During a live interview with CNN, when asked how Democrats can stop Elon Musk, you spoke clearly: “What the American public wants is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight. This is an actual fight for democracy.”

This sounds to some like a threat to Mr. Musk – an appointed representative of President Donald Trump who you call a “dick” – and government staff who work for him. Their concerns have led to this inquiry.

We take threats against public officials very seriously. I look forward to your cooperation with my letter of inquiry after request. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Please respond by February 24, 2025. Should you have further questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to call my office or schedule a time to meet in person.

Black Lives Matter Activist in Boston Pleads Guilty to Federal Fraud Charges – Scammed Donors to Fund Her Lifestyle

Screencap of YouTube video.

A Black Lives Matter activist in Boston named Monica Cannon-Grant pleaded guilty to federal charges this week, admitting that she scammed donors and used their money to fund her own lavish lifestyle.

Cannon-Grant was previously held up as an admired figure. The city of Boston named her the Bostonian of the year at one point for her ‘social justice activism’ and she was even recognized by the Boston Celtics basketball team for her efforts.

She is now facing a minimum of two years in prison.

The New York Post reports:

BLM-linked activist admits conning donors to fund her lavish lifestyle

A once-celebrated Boston social activist has pleaded guilty to defrauding donors — including Black Lives Matter — out of thousands of dollars that she used as a personal piggy bank.

Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, pleaded guilty Monday to 18 counts of fraud-related crimes that she committed with her late husband while operating their Violence in Boston (VIB) activists group, according to the US Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts.

The activist scammed money — including $3,000 from a BLM group — while claiming it was to help feed children and run protests like one in 2020 over the murder of George Floyd and police violence.

Cannon-Grant also conned her way into getting $100,000 in federal pandemic-related unemployment benefits — which she used to pay off her personal auto loan and car insurance policy.

But she has now confessed to transferring funds to personal bank accounts to pay for rent, shopping sprees, delivery meals, visits to a nail salon — and even a summer vacation to Maryland.

Just amazing.

Here’s a local video report:

She should pay back every penny.

Keith Olbermann Backpedals Furiously With Apology for Threatening CNN’s Scott Jennings – Jennings Responds (VIDEO)

As the Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, former MSNBC host and generally unhinged leftist Keith Olbermann, appeared to threaten CNN’s conservative pundit Scott Jennings on Twitter saying, ‘You’re next motherf**ker.’

Well, Olbermann may have gotten a phone call or a visit from the FBI because today he walked back those comments with a full-throated apology.

RedState has an update:

To quickly recap, Scott Jennings, a Salem Media Network radio host and conservative CNN political commentator, reacted to breaking news on Monday that Kimmel had been reinstated by tweeting, “So basically his employer suspended him for being an insensitive pr**k, and we don’t live in an authoritarian regime? Got it.”

This enraged Olbermann, who proceeded to tweet what many, including Jennings, perceived to be a threat. “You’re next, motherf**ker. But keep mugging to the camera.” Jennings tagged Patel and included a screengrab of the tweets in response.

Though the FBI hasn’t commented as to whether an investigation was launched, Olbermann ostensibly appears to have thought twice about what he tweeted and deleted, apologizing profusely in tweets posted on Tuesday and claiming what he wrote was “misinterpreted”:

See Olbermann’s tweet below:

Scott Jennings, always a class act, offered this hilarious response:

Keith Olbermann really needs help. The guy is just so out of control.

Where is Lance Twiggs? Kirk Assassin’s Transgender Lover Has Vanished

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson and roommate Lance Twiggs

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner – a male-to-female trans named Lance “Luna” Twiggs.

The FBI used Robinson’s texts with his transgender partner to solidify that Robinson was the assassin. Lance Twiggs has not been charged with any crime; however, federal authorities are still investigating.

Last week, Utah authorities released the text exchange between Tyler Robinson and his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, sent shortly after Kirk’s assassination.

Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray announced seven charges against Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. They will also be seeking the death penalty.

Robinson was charged with:

– Count 1: Aggravated murder (capital offense)
– Count 2: Felony reckless discharge of a firearm causing bodily injury
– Count 3: Felony obstruction of justice for hiding the firearm
– Count 4: Felony obstruction of justice for discarding the clothing he wore during the shooting
– Count 5: Witness tampering for asking roommate to delete incriminating messages
– Count 6: Witness temperating for demanding trans roommate stay silent, and not speak to police
– Count 7: Commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child

Jeff Gray released the chilling texts between Tyler Robinson and his “love” Lance Twiggs.

Read the text exchange here:

Lance Twiggs was reportedly cooperating with the FBI, however, according to the Daily Mail he has seemingly vanished.

“If [Lance Twiggs] ever comes back, it will be in a body bag,” a neighbor said to the Daily Mail. “That’s not a threat – I’m just saying that there are so many people who want a piece of him he’d be mad to show his face in public again. This was a generational event.”

The Daily Mail reported:

The Trans boyfriend of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin has fled their former lovenest – and locals tell the Daily Mail they never want to see him again.

Lance Twiggs, 22, was led away for questioning when police swooped on the smart three-bed condo he shared with accused gunman Tyler Robinson, 22.

Shaken neighbors say the part time plumber has not been back to the $320,000 property in St. George, Utah – one declaring: ‘Good riddance. I never want to see either of them again.’

His beaten-up Infinity compact is still parked in his space with his work gear tossed across the back seat and a sandwich wrapper and a drink on the front passenger seat.

Upstairs lights have been left on for more than a week and notes and Amazon packages are piling up outside the home owned by Twiggs’s devout Mormon family.
