'I will not be silenced': Congressman posts letter Trump DOJ sent him for criticizing Musk

The top Department of Justice prosecutor in Washington D.C. is now sending letters to elected officials who criticize President Donald Trump and his administration that include ominous ultimatums.

That's according to Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), who posted the full text of a letter he received from Edward Martin — the acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. Martin's letter is just one of several he sent to Democrats who publicly criticized both Trump and centibillionaire Elon Musk. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) also received letters from Martin, with each one including a deadline to respond

"So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter," the California congressman wrote on Bluesky. "Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced."

Martin's letter asks Garcia to elaborate on comments he made about Musk during an interview on CNN, in which he called the Tesla and SpaceX CEO a "d---."

"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,'" Martin wrote, adding that Garcia had until Februrary 24, 2025 to respond. "This sounds to some like a threat to Mr. Musk – an appointed representative of President Donald Trump who you call a 'd---' – and government staff who work for him. Their concerns have led to this inquiry."

Garcia defended his comments, and retorted that "no reasonable person would view my comments as a threat."

"We are living in a dangerous time, and elected members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration," he wrote in a subsequent post. "I will not be silenced."

sies.

"...What the American public wants is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight. This is an actual fight for democracy,"

Go read the OP post...the letter was in response of him threatening to bring weapons to the fight...irresponsible...

Wonderful - but there are a few Republicns with dubious records as beong as corruot like the Democrat politicians and bureaucrats generally are and that letter revealed by the BSter who advocatedc people taking weapons to protest meetings are typical DP practices. In the 2020 riots organized and finded by the D NC using the errorist subsidfiies of the Democratic Party founded by Obama used guns and Nolotiv Coacktails to myrder 46 people (13 of them Police Officers) and seriously injuring 1 200 poiicemen . 1 500 riotes were arrested - but one of the first things done was an EO by Biden to set free all 1500 prisones - even those who murdered people and they were never charged with murder or attacks on the Police. Thoe 1 500 people will now all be charged wot mursde and other crimes they have committed in 2 000/

However - no surprises for both Dennie and BB supporting maladministration and bribery and corruption in the USA. They supported the rioters in 2020 like they are doing now. Amazing how the two aslo support murder and attacks on ordfdinary people and thaat says it all,

They also support gsngtes that entered the USA and have been murdering and sexually attacked people and are on the list of people being a threat to ordinary peopele in the USA. and also I assume political murders and then come up with threads like this one. Amongst the 12 million illegal migrants were at least 490 000 people with criminal records in their countries of origin and they are the first people targetted to be sent back to the countries they came from - as well as at lesstt 50 000 people with links to terrorism coming from Muslim countries smd at least another 50 000 men of military age sent to the USA by the Chinses Communist Party,

The latter people are targetted for expulsion from the USA and are undermining die court processes by proecting the criminals and potential terrrists from being sent back to their countries of otrigon opproeed by the criminally orientated Democrats, Bondi is not raging about anything - she is stating pubicly tha she is going to charge the DP and other criminals and terrosits to court charging them with ctrmes they are and were involved in,

According to the New York Times there were also 450 000 unaccompanied children smuggled into the USA by the cartels and those chilren as been ahnded over by the cratel nd Biden administration to human trafficers in the USAand is now used as slave and sexworjers in the USA. Like the Democrats in the USA Denny and BB also support terrorists and criminals that entered te USA illegally under the Biden Administration. I fund that detestable on their part.

. . .

Social media is rife with people openly calling for Musk and Trump's assassination and calling Musk's child a "human shield". It's not a good environment for talking about bringing weapons to a fight.

And of course these are the same people who still bring up Jan 6. Protest at the Capitol, no no, terrible, a threat to democracy.

Kill a democratically elected president, oh yes, nothing wrong with that.
