resident Donald Trump announced Thursday evening he is appointing Ed Martin to be an Associate Deputy Attorney General at the Department of Justice with two jobs, Pardon Attorney and Director of Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Weaponization Working Group.
The appointment comes just hours after Trump withdrew Martin’s nomination to be U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, where he has capably served as interim U.S. Attorney under Trump for the past several months, in the face of Republican opposition over his support for J6ers that was led by Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina. The new positions do not require Senate confirmation.
Trump’s announcement also comes after Martin was spit on by a deranged leftist during a sidewalk interview with Newsmax Thursday afternoon live on air.
...
The Swamp may have thought they had a victory over Trump today, but Trump’s duel power moves of naming his close friend and ally Judge Jeanine Pirro to replace Martin as interim D.C. U.S. Attorney (with an eye to Senate nomination) and putting Martin in charge of investigating the Biden DOJ’s weaponization against American citizens under Attorney General Merrick Garland is sure to have heads exploding across the D.C. establishment.
From Truth Social:
“Ed Martin has done an AMAZING job as interim U.S. Attorney, and will be moving to the Department of Justice as the new Director of the Weaponization Working Group, Associate Deputy Attorney General, and Pardon Attorney. In these highly important roles, Ed will make sure we finally investigate the Weaponization of our Government under the Biden Regime, and provide much needed Justice for its victims. Congratulations Ed!”
...
Martin thanked the President in a post on X Thursday evening, “Thank you, Mr. President. We will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Why can’t a U.S. Atty be recess appointed for a year, like Cabinet positions?
Have Thune and Johnson given Trump a long enough recess for SCOTUS to allow any such appointments yet?

Good question. Wonder if his nomination was bait to smoke out some RINOs?
Tillis is dead. Real dead.
“Wonder if his nomination was bait to smoke out some RINOs?”
RINOs are elected by Democrats in districts where is no way a Democrat could win but true Republicans can be damaged, by a few Democrat votes.
FAFO Tillis
LOVE IT!!
Here come the horns.
No, but they sure do go on vacation a lot after getting nothing at all done.
I am starting to get fed up with all this.
LMAO! poetic justice-Tillis FA-now he’s going to FO-”thank you sir-may I have another?”
I can just see Stephen Miller sitting down with President Trump and Trump asking “What can we do to make this a FAFO situation for Tillis and the deep state”?
[thinking, thinking, thinking]
Miller: “Hey, I have a great idea!”
LOL!!! A TWOFER!! Go TRUMP!!
