President Trump said he will pull Ed Martin’s nomination for DC US Attorney and announce his replacement in a few days.
Time was running out as the May 20 deadline to confirm Ed Martin approached.
If Ed Martin wasn’t confirmed, Judge Boasberg would have picked the next US Attorney for DC.
This way President Trump will be able to choose the US Attorney.
“I was disappointed,” Trump said of the lack of support for Ed Martin after Senator Tillis opposed his confirmation.
On Tuesday Senator Tillis, who voted to confirm Biden’s radical pick for Attorney General Merrick Garland, told reporters that he opposes the nomination of Ed Martin for DC US Attorney for political reasons.
“I have no tolerance for anybody who entered the building on January the 6th, and that’s probably where most of the friction was,” Tillis said.
Tillis admitted Ed Martin was doing a great job with his investigation into Biden US Attorney Matthew Graves’ unlawful use of the 1512(c)(2) obstruction charge to lock up January 6 defendants.
However, he will be opposing Ed Martin’s nomination for political reasons.
“If Mr. Martin were being put forth as a US Attorney for any district except the district where January 6 happened, the protest happened, I’d probably support him, but not in this district,” Tillis said in a shocking admission to CNN’s Manu Raju.
Tillis, payback is a bitch. Now Trump will get an even harder ass, and your flimsey excuses won’t work.
One jackass stops the whole show
I didnt vote for him, I voted for DJT
People are making WAY too much of the possibility of Boasberg “picking” the next DC US Attorney.
If he picks someone the Executive does not agree with, the Executive can dismiss the pick. Period.
That’s why in the past there is a discussion on a pick that is acceptable to the Executive.
He should, and soon.
NC is not a state that has anything to do with this cornpone backstabber.
Trump should nominate John Eastman.
You still need a challenger. Someone suggested Robinson. You can’t beat somebody with nobody.
If it’s gonna be a nobody might as well go for Madison Cawthorn-remember him?
Now appoint Martin under the Vacancies Act as “Acting”...he can then have 210 days.
Waste of time voting anymore.
Stephen Miller is my pick. Heads would explode.
Tillis needs to go!
Sick of these rinos!
Eastman has been disbarred.
Remember, it wasn’t just Tillis. There were several RINOs who said they’d buck the president, including Yertle. Tillis is the one who broke the camel’s back and he has got to go!!
Make Tillis Ambassador to Cyprus and get him out of DC.
““I have no tolerance for anybody who entered the building on January the 6th”
Does that include the FBI, CIA and the boys from Ft. Bragg?
Interesting choice but Tillis wouldn’t like him either.
The DC Swamp fights till it is drained..
Well, except that he’s disbarred.
How about Rudi Guiliani? Ha.
Till is is currently under investigation for his murky real estate business. He’s a real piece of work. Hopefully soon headed to prison.
Cyprus? He doesn’t deserve the beaches and sun. Send him to Sierra Leone, or Cote De Ivory! Or Congo!
