He is getting crushed on X right now. My "following" and "for you" feeds are full of X posts criticizing Thom Tillis right now.

Why?

From people on the internet? Probably

From constituents? Doubtful.

Normal people don’t care about a single US attorney position in DC

Are you asking why he’s getting crushed?

Thom Tillis is blocking Ed Martin because of MUH J6.

I know. I’m telling you that outside of MAGA internet circles, no one cares one way or another.

Just asking if people are contacting him to get Ed Martin through committee.

I think you are right. I just hope the MAGA circle is big enough to put enough pressure on Tillis to move.

Bannon made a mini call to the ramparts this morning. Not a full throated call.

It sucks that we have to wait and see how this evolves. I wonder what Tillis really wants.

I think you place too much value on this issue.

Don't underestimate new media like Charlie Kirk et al.

But...I get what you are saying.

He wants business as usual without interruption. Plus...I still think they are terrified of something coming out that implicates them in the J6 deal.

Trump appointed Ed Martin to U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. This position requires senate confirmation. The appointment is temporary for 120 days until the Senate confirms. Chief Judge James Boasberg could appoint a replacement under a specific legal provision. The authority is based on 28 U.S.C. § 546(d), which allows the district court to appoint an interim U.S. Attorney if a vacancy persists after the President’s interim appointee’s term (120 days) expires without Senate confirmation.

The Trump administration could appoint another interim U.S. Attorney before the deadline.

He's being blackmailed. Only logical explanation.

Unfortunately this administration prefers media spectacles over pragmatic governance

No.

Thom Tillis is blocking Ed Martin because the GOPe and RINOs can’t afford to have a pro-Trump guy in that role because it could result in half the party being exposed as complicit in the actual J6 conspiracy and things far worse because they wanted Trump out as badly as the democrats.

Pulling Committee appointments is the only way for Republican Leadership to get through to these asshats

Yes.

He should appoint Matt Gaetz and tell him to reign down hell on the entire swamp.

“What we've got here is failure to communicate.

Some men, you just can't reach.

So you get what we had here last week -- which is the way he wants it.

Well, he gets it.”

This, deep state has something on him.

Or, he is the designated flunky in the Senate to kill Republican momentum like John McCain or that idiot Arlen Spector from PA.

There's always one RINO that will take the fall for the Establishment.
