Sen. Tillis Could Tank Trump Nominee Ed Martin, Allowing Judge Boasberg to Choose U.S. Attorney for D.C.​



With the clock ticking on Martin’s interim status, the Deep State is fighting back, and Tillis has emerged as a roadblock to Martin’s nomination on the Senate Judiciary Committee, through which Martin’s nomination must pass.

Tillis, who has expressed concerns with Martin’s comments while serving as an attorney for J6 defendants, is expected to meet with Martin Monday afternoon in his Senate office.

Breitbart News asked a Tillis spokesman if the senator would support Martin’s nomination, and if not, if he believes Judge Boasberg would choose someone more preferable.

The Tillis spokesperson would not commit to the senator supporting Martin and attempted to downplay the scenario of Boasberg choosing the nominee in the event Tillis chooses to block Trump’s nominee.

Today In Republicans Being Useless: Thom Tillis Plans To Sink Ed Martin Nomination​



In his Tuesday remarks, Tillis said he doesn’t expect Martin “to be advanced to the [Judiciary Committee’s] markup,” and that, “at this point, [he’s] indicated to the White House [he] wouldn’t support [Martin’s] nomination.” The Republican senator indicated that “most” of his opposition to Martin stems from “concerns” he has about the acting U.S. attorney’s stance on Jan. 6.

“He built a compelling case on some of the 15 [or] 12 prosecutions that were probably heat-of-the-moment bad decisions. But where we probably have a difference [of opinion] is I think anybody that breached the perimeter [of the Capitol] should have been in prison for some period of time,” Tillis said. “Whether it’s 30 days or three years is debatable, but I have no tolerance for anybody who entered the building on January the 6th, and that’s probably where most of the friction was.”

While Tillis acknowledged that Martin is “probably right” about there being demonstrators who were “overprosecuted” by the Biden administration for their conduct, he seemingly couldn’t help himself from gifting the leftist media the soundbites they were clearly looking for.

“We have to be very, very clear that what happened on January the 6th was wrong. … It was not prompted or created by other people to put those people in trouble. They made a stupid decision, and they disgraced the United States by absolutely destroying the Capitol,” Tillis said. “If Mr. Martin were being put forward as a U.S. attorney for any district except the district where … the protest happened, I’d probably support him. But not in this district.”

So, according to his own words, Tillis could summon the courage to vote for Martin if he were nominated for any other district attorney position except the one in D.C. But even if that were the case, it wouldn’t change Martin’s past comments about Jan. 6, which makes Tillis’ excuse completely nonsensical.

Then again, it’s not surprising Tillis would go out of his way to try and tank a Trump nominee who could deliver transformational change for Americans.
