Senate Judiciary Committee member Adam Schiff (D- CA) announced on Tuesday his intention to place a hold on the nomination of President Donald Trump’s nominee for D.C. U.S. Attorney Ed Martin.

In an April 1 statement explaining his decision, Schiff said Martin has “demolished the firewalls between the White House and his own office within the Department of Justice.”

“Confirming him to serve permanently in the role he has already abused in his interim capacity would cross the prosecutorial Rubicon that every single Senator would come to regret and that would threaten the rights of Americans from all walks of life,” he added.

Schiff’s announcement comes only a day after a group of about 100 former assistant U.S. attorneys requested that Senate Judiciary Chairman Sen Chuck Grassley (R-IA) “set a public confirmation hearing,” to allow witnesses to testify against Martin’s confirmation, according to reporting from the New York Times.

Curious, did Martin get a preemptive pardon too?

Jeanine hasn't practiced law for about 20 years so...... perfect for Dotard's government.

Picking Pirro has nothing to do with the law........dummy. It's about what all Dotard's picks are about, unfailing loyalty, a willingness to lie, never questioning what they're told, and public displays of fawning adoration.

We just suffered through four years of the most incompetent Cabinet I think has ever been assembled with the Biden Administration! Name a Cabinet Secretary under Biden who wasn't a train wreck! They were all that bad. Trump chose his Cabinet because they believe in the same agenda as he does. You may not like them...but every one of them is getting the job done.

Trump Withdraws U.S. Attorney Nominee, Whose Extremism Tested Limits for G.O.P. Senators​

Ed Martin, the interim U.S. attorney for Washington, was breezing toward the office elevator in his signature trench coat in February when he passed a group of about 10 young prosecutors preparing to leave, framed diplomas and keepsakes in hand.

“Whoa, what’s going on here?” Mr. Martin asked with a chuckle, seemingly oblivious to who they were and where they were going, according to people with knowledge of the exchange.

The lawyers were too stunned to speak. They had just been fired — part of a purge, overseen by Mr. Martin, of about two dozen prosecutors detailed during the Biden administration to prosecute the rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

President Trump nominated Mr. Martin, a conservative Republican political operative from Missouri, to permanently run the U.S. attorney’s office in part because he has emerged as one of the most passionate defenders of Jan. 6 rioters, a small but vocal far-right group that wields outsize influence. Mr. Martin has, in turn, used his authority to help carry out Mr. Trump’s retribution campaign, threatening to investigate Democrats, academic institutions and critics of Elon Musk even while seeking to dismantle and delegitimize the Jan. 6 inquiry.

Just how bad of a hack did Ed need to be to have Dotard pull his name from consideration? A really bad one. Paradoxically, being a hack is why he was nominated.
