Democrat Senator Adam Schiff Places Indefinite Hold on President Trump’s Nominee for US Attorney in DC, Ed Martin
Gateway Pundit ^ | 4/1/25 | Christina Laila

Posted on 04/01/2025 6:27:58 PM PDT by hardspunned

Democrat Senator Adam Schiff (CA), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, announced he is placing a hold on President Trump’s nominee for US Attorney in DC, Ed Martin.

Ed Martin is currently the Acting US Attorney for DC and Trump recently announced he nominated him for a permanent position as one of the country’s top cops.

Schiff said he is holding up Ed Martin’s nomination because he has “abused the power of the US Attorney’s office in DC” and used his office as a “cudgel to chill dissent…”

In a statement released on Tuesday, Adam Schiff vowed to use his power as a US Senator to “block attempts to jam through his appointment at every stage.”

Thank you Blondi for giving this blatant criminal carte blanche to continue what he did in the first term! Worthless pubbie hacks at FBI and DOJ have no clue. See what I mean about no deterrence, no nothing?

I’m sure on the Blondi and Kash Fox shows this traitorous ba$tard will get a stern lecture.

Is that a recent picture of Schifty? Thought he had the bug eyes under control.

I’d love to give that pencil-neck bug-eyed moron an indefinite boot up his rear end.

I don’t know which one makes me want to vomit more: schiff or schumer.

The hold can be overriden. Or he could be appointed special council… looking at Schiff… which I recommend.

For the past few weeks, Ed Martin has been a one-man wrecking ball. Threatening opponents, firing public servants, and using his office to chill free speech.

Like using the well of the house to pronounce lies about your political opponent? Something like that?

“appointed special council”

Correct answer.

Schiff wants to make it personal.

Lets make it personal.

Give Martin one case.

Schiff.

Martin is still Interim US Attorney for DC.
Nothing Schiff can do about that.

He’s going to do what Kennedy did and stop every nomination possible especially when we finally begin nominating judges. He’s a snake!

You’re dreaming. Blondi could have done that the day of her swearing in. Or she could have impaneled a grand jury to prosecute them.

Indicting ONE, just one of the hundreds of these criminals would have put THEM on defensive, would have made THEM go bankrupt on attorneys fees. Just ONE indictment would have deterred much of the Lawfare garbage that’s kneecapping MAGA. On day one, with the evidence you and I can quote chapter and verse on, Schiff should have been indicted.

That ditzy Blondi is burying shadow state crimes with her incompetence as effectively as Barr did with his treachery. The result is the same, the shadow state is still running everything.

A U.S. Senator cannot unilaterally “stop” a nomination in the sense of having the final authority to cancel it outright. However, they can significantly delay or obstruct the process through various procedural tools, potentially derailing it if they muster enough support.

Democrats don’t have the votes.

I agree—and have argued from day one—we need one big name indictment.

I do not care who it is—AOC, Congress-critter, Senator, Governor, Mayor whatever.

Until that happens we all have our reasonable doubts.
