If Ed Martin thinks he is Trump's lawyer, he needs to resign because he clearly did not understand the words of the Oath of Office. If he can not understand the words of that oath, he is obviously unqualified to make any legal judgements whatsoever.

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.
