Emily Gabriella Sommer (32) was arrested in connection with an 8 May incident during which she allegedly spit on former US Attorney Edward R. Martin Jr. Sommer is charged with one count of assaulting, resisting, or impeding a government official. On 8 May then-Interim US Attorney Martin was conducting an on-camera interview on the street in front of his office. During the interview Sommer approached Martin and stated words to the effect of, "Who in the f-- are you?" Martin turned to face Sommer. Sommer then said, "Are you Ed Martin? You are. Ed Martin." Sommer lunged at Martin and spit on his shoulder. Sommer then walked away and yelled, "You are a disgusting man. F--- you, Ed Martin. My name is Emily Gabriella Sommer, and you are served." US Marshals located Sommer and placed her under arrest on 22 May. A complaint is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Good. She apparently got what she deserved. But, let the Courts decide this going forward, imo.

That aspect aside, Mr Martin as a US Attorney?

What possibly could Pres Trump have been thinking?

Or was he thinking?

When you read the charging documents, the defendant is only sorry that she didn't have even more phlegm in her mouth to propel at the disgraced former interim US Attorney, a MAGA supporter: www.washingtonpost.com

With all the crime taking place in Wash DC, the arresting Deputy US Marshal spent two weeks investigating this particular matter.

This is just a guess - I think the point is because that particular alias dislikes the man who was spat on then the police should just drop the whole matter.

#4: The Deputy US Marshal, also trained by the ATF to conduct firearms traces and explosives investigations, could have been better utilized for two weeks in the DC area. I linked the crime rate for Wash DC. In the attached complaint, look at the investigatory work the Deputy USM put into this matter on behalf of Edward R. Martin Jr, Esquire.

Simpler Solution:

Deputy US Marshals secure the AUSA building where the interview took place. In the photos above, you could see the bollards protecting the entrance. If Edward R. Martin Jr was indeed "assaulted" by Emily Gabriella Sommer, he could have run into the building and pointed out the offender to any of the DUSMs at the magnetometer station. Instead, he took the time to write out the formal Information (which carries the same weight as an indictment), then had the USMS spend time researching this woman to ensure vengeance or punishment.

As for me, I would have accepted my punishment from the woman for being a rightwing jerk. Or, if I felt threatened or was assaulted, I would have run inside the building and asked the DUSMs to arrest the woman. If this was a man, I might have employed ju-jitsu on him. But then I'm hurting a guy that didn't hurt me.

#8: And when you think more about this nonsense, while Miss Sommer was expressing her First Amendment right of Free Speech, she spit on the snowflake's trench coat, not Edward R. Martin, Jr. Esquire. So, the defendant allegedly assaulted his waterproof raincoat and gave him a well-deserved tongue-lashing.

BTW: Remember these oldies, but goodies?

How about I spit on your coat while it's on you.

I'm a borderline Hall of Fame troll, Alexandrite. I easily elicit multiple responses with a single post. And it doesn't take any effort.

Why anyone responds to this lying piece of ---- troll is beyond me

You're just a loser stalker who posts the same crap over and over. I live rent free in your head and it's hilarious.
