If Sen. Thom Tillis wanted to become the single most unpopular Republican since Mitch McConnell, he succeeded. We're not entirely sure what the heck this guy is thinking, giving someone like Judge Boasberg the power to pick the U.S. Attorney for D.C.
But that's exactly what he's doing.
From Breitbart News:
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.
“Senator Tillis looks forward to meeting with Ed Martin,” the spokesman said. “Our understanding is that if the Senate does not confirm a U.S. Attorney before an acting U.S. Attorney’s term expires, the Attorney General can still pick the next acting replacement if it is done before the term expires under 28 USC 546.”
But Attorney General Pam Bondi would be extremely limited in whom she could appoint to that seat, with no immediately apparent practical choices Trump would relish.
And of course, if you've been paying any attention, you know Tillis is voting no at this point.
Guess how X is taking it ...
Pretty sure his D.C. office number is available online (202-224-6342), just sayin'.
cough cough
You know what they say ... follow the money.
Crazy how that works once Trump is in office.
Uniparty strikes again.
