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.”

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.
What happened to the nuclear option Harry Reid started?
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.
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.
He’s going to do what Kennedy did and stop every nomination possible especially when we finally begin nominating judges. He’s a snake!
What exactly should Bondi and Patel do to stop this. Be specific.
There’s a DC lamp post missing its schitt...
When Schiffty got it from Ed Buck, he got Bucked REAL good.
How can he do that we have the majority
How long can the acting person be in place if nobody else is confirmed?
Wouldn’t it be swèt if Maþ Gaetz was made acting if this guy’s time ran I UT, and the 2 could just take turns?
schiff(orbrains) trying to make himself relevant.
That’s what they said to the Creature From the Black Lagoon.
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.
