President Donald Trump said Thursday that he would pull his nomination of Ed Martin Jr. to be the top federal prosecutor for the nation’s capital, bowing to bipartisan concerns about the conservative activist’s modest legal experience and divisive politics.
Trump abandoned his pick to lead the nation’s largest U.S. Attorney’s office two days after a key Republican senator said he could not support Martin for the job due to his defense of rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Trump knows that few will care about his yanking a loser, but he won't look as powerful if one of his MAGA Batshitters loses a confirmation vote. Especially for a job where almost everyone is rubber-stamped into place.
So all of those stupid letters that MArtin was sending out to scientific journals and schools can go right into the shredder (if they haven't already).
But don't worry. He'll get a six-figure job as a legal analyst on Fox News.
