Adam Schiff: “Ed Martin, who was defeated as the nominee for the U.S…”

“Now, Michael Grimm, like the others, because they're not stupid, pleaded, oh, Donald, political persecution, just like you. I'm a victim, just like you. And apparently that's all it takes to get a pardon. Ed Martin, who was defeated as the nominee for the U.S. attorney in the District of Columbia, is now in charge of the pardon office. You might remember Liz Oyer formally held that title. Ms. Oyer was fired simply because she wouldn't agree to give Mel Gibson's gun back after a domestic restraining order prohibited him from getting another gun.” (02:56–03:06)
