Republicans May Have Just Tanked Trump’s Controversial Nominee Ed Martin
The president’s pick for D.C.'s top U.S. attorney, an election denier who dropped cases against Jan. 6 defendants, doesn’t have the votes to advance.
The article describes how bad this unqualified MAGAt clown is. The hero is:
... Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told reporters Tuesday that he informed the White House that “I wouldn’t support his nomination.” It only takes one Republican in this committee to sink a nominee, assuming all Democrats vote no, which in this case, they would have. Martin’s nomination appears dead.
Tillis had already been raising concerns with Martin, a pro-MAGA election denier who’s been D.C.’s interim U.S. attorney since January, when Trump appointed him to the post.
GoNCGo!
Martin, who previously had no prosecutorial experience, has essentially spent the last few months proving his loyalty to Trump. He fired more than a dozen federal prosecutors involved in criminal cases tied to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. He dropped cases against Jan. 6 defendants. He launched probes into Trump’s political enemies.
He also failed to disclose to the judiciary panel that he appeared on Russian state media more than 150 times from 2016 to 2024, something he was required to disclose. As recently as Monday, Martin had written to the committee again ― for the fourth time ― listing off dozens of media appearances he previously didn’t tell them about....
Tillis said Tuesday his reason for opposing Martin was ultimately because he was nominated to be the U.S. attorney in the district where the Jan. 6 insurrection happened ― and where Martin dropped cases against people who participated in it.
“I’m thinking about future January 6ths,” the North Carolina Republican told HuffPost. “If there is, we got to make it very clear, you come into the Capitol, you’re going to get fined. You’re going to prison. You made a bad mistake.”
Wow, bitch slap to traitorous DonOLD.
... “According to many but, in particular, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., his approval is IMPERATIVE in terms of doing all that has to be done to SAVE LIVES and to, MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN,” Trump said. “Ed is coming up on the deadline for Voting and, if approved, HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN.” ...
