Amid his flurry of first moves as president, Donald Trump tapped a vehement supporter of Jan. 6 rioters, right-wing activist Ed Martin, to serve as Washington, D.C.’s interim government prosecutor, NBC News reports.
Unlike other regions where district attorneys are elected, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington, D.C., handles both local and federal cases, and the U.S. attorney is handpicked by the president.
The announcement, made on the day Trump pardoned roughly 1,500 Jan. 6 rioters, means the top lawyer in Washington — a place Republicans have tried to portray as crime-ridden because of liberal policies — will be a vocal advocate of the pro-Trump insurrectionists who sought to overturn the 2020 election.
NBC News’ Ryan Reilly noted that Martin is a member of an advocacy group for Jan. 6 defendants that “held fundraisers at Donald Trump’s properties, including events where Trump spoke.” And he laid out what Martin was up to himself on Jan. 6:

“On the Fifth Day of Trumpmas, my President gave to me - a stick in the eye of DC...”
More winning. I hope he will go after the fascist Democratic prosecutors, jailers, and judges who so routinely violated the rights of those who were legitimately demonstrating on January 6th.

“pro-Trump insurrectionists”
That is not a fact. It’s an editorial. A news organization, that pretends to be objective, should have reserved that comment for the editorial page.
And 3/4 of DC is now wetting itself!
I am guessing that they are now really wishing they didn’t steal the 2020 election or engage in the lawfare afterwards. Trump 2.0 is much different.
“right-wing activist Ed Martin,”
Oh, no bias there.
But the love left-wing activist.
You want to see winning and quickly draining the swamp? Many swamp members have been and are being ousted, all via Loophole found and it’s all being done by “acting” positions as we wait for nominees to be approved. The people in these “acting” roles are hard core anti-swamp, America first people.

Agree,
I only hope that the guy is also competent.
Don’t want the liberal retard thing where they appoint idiots into office that follow ideological lines but are inept.
But a hard core Trumper on a vengeance trip for those that abuse government powers, great!
For the days go to 30?
Interim appointments

They can go through the staff AUSAs employees fire them, put on leave, investigate.
These are probably the most common important districts in US.
I want every day to be Trumpmas.
Wow. Didn’t know Nitter was back.
Sure is better than another far-left fool on the bench.
I want to see them bankrupting themselves on shyster fees the way Lawfare DC has bankrupted so many innocent people.
I live in DC. I don’t care if this guy is a Trump activist and an outspoken critic of the democrats’ J6 jihad, as long as he’s a good prosecutor and a strong manager. But the activist thing is not why he should be appointed. Biden saddled us with a woke, Soros type U.S. Attorney who has been all-in on the pro-criminal, anti-police, anti-citizen agenda. We need a get tough on crime U.S. Attorney who will throw the carjackers, muggers and looters in jail and back up police when they get back to proactive policing. And we need someone who is a good enough manager to purge the lefty hires made over the last four years.
We’ve had four years of a U.S. Attorney who would have fit right in in San Francisco. That’s what has to end, hopefully before the Biden crime surge reverses the remarkable improvement the city has seen since we got rid of Marion Barry.
did he ask all the US Attorneys for their resigantion?
