Hacked emails have reemerged that could land political commentator Roland Martin in hot water, or even behind bars. Leaked emails obtained through the infamous 2016 Wikileaks hack reveal a damning paper trail: Martin was secretly working with Donna Brazile and feeding debate questions to candidates he was paid by before public showdowns, attempting to rig the electoral process in then candidate Hillary Clinton’s favor.

The emails, which have been recirculated among investigators, confirm Martin wasn’t just a pundit, he was a fixer. By providing insider knowledge to his preferred candidates, he distorted the fairness of debates, effectively handing them an unfair advantage while leaving opponents in the dark. This wasn’t analysis, this was election interference.

The Legal Case Against Him

Legal experts are now asking: Can Roland Martin be prosecuted? The answer may be yes.

Federal election laws prohibit “fraudulent practices” that undermine the integrity of elections. If Martin knowingly participated in a scheme to tilt debates, especially if he was financially incentivized, he could face charges ranging from conspiracy to commit fraud to violations of campaign finance laws. The smoking gun? Those emails.

Caught In The Act

Martin built his career on portraying himself as a sharp, no-nonsense analyst. But these leaks paint a different picture: that of a man willing to cheat to sway an election. Was this just one-time corruption, or part of a larger pattern?

If Trump’s DOJ prosecutors decide to take action, Roland Martin might not just lose his credibility, he could lose his freedom.

And that won’t be rigged.
