Trump unveiled that he withdrew his nomination of Ed Martin after much pushback, including from Sen. Tom Tillis (R-NC), which likely nuked his confirmation.
Trump hopes Martin will serve in some capacity at the DOJ.
Of course, ABC News only published the negative aspects of Pirro. How about we look at what makes her qualified for the job?
Pirro is the first woman to become the Westchester County district attorney. She was elected in 1993, 1997, and 2001.
Pirro earned her way to the spotlight when she served as Westchester County’s assistant district attorney because of her push for a federal grant to establish a bureau devoted to domestic violence and moving domestic violence cases to criminal court.
After this position, Pirro won the election as a judge for the Westchester County Court in 1990.
Pirro was the first woman to serve as a judge in the county court.
Pirro also became the first woman to serve as the New York State District Attorneys Association president.
Then-Gov. George Patacki appointed Pirro to chair the New York State Commission on Domestic Violence Fatalities.

She convicted a New York cop for shooting a black guy who was teeing off on his Father with an aluminum baseball bat
Just read the details of that case. Pirro is terrible and shouldn’t be entrusted with a prime US Attorney job, or any other sort of prosecutoral position.
That’s exactly why Trump is appointing her.
My source was CNN. I asked about it on Facebook. She blocked me.
Doubtless largely peacefully attacking someone with a baseball bat
Andrew Branca has educated us here in the past of the narrow construct of the law of self defense.
So Pirro could have explained how that failed or cited transcripts, findings etc.
BY ducking it appears more likely to be a cave to the racial grievance industrial complex.
If true she should be disqualified from all things Trump
Witness testimony changing is not all that uncommon – the initial “hands up, don’t shoot” riots were set up by Neal’s of the false witness testimony by a friend of the “victim” – which was contradicted both by other witness testimony AND physical evidence.
I looked this case up – not sure I would have convicted him if I were on the jury – however the witness testimony that changed after police questioning is not neccessarily on judge (then prosecutor) Pirro – unless it was brought up at trial by the defense its entirely possible she wasn’t even aware of the changed testimony – it’s likely on the police if it was inappropriate.
Which begs a question…. this was a NY cop, even if only a subway cop. How likely is it that other NY cops would go out of their way to frame a fellow officer? Isn’t the most common “police misconduct” situation in such a case (white officer shoots a black citizen) the police going out of their way to get the charges dropped?
There’s a lot I don’t like about this case as reported by the press. I don’t like the “unarmed” argument when the guy shot had a baseball bat in hand and had already used it to injure the dad. OTH I don’t like it that the dad followed the guy to his car – I’d be skeptical that it was only to innocently return the guys clothing and cell phone dropped when the three family members originally pile driver him to the ground. I don’t like it that there’s no mention of the (off-duty) cop de-escalating the situation by showing a badge. I don’t like that there’s no mention of the cop giving any verbal stop command before pumping three bullets in the black guy.
Which all means I doubt the press narrative is the entire story.
That’s the closest I’ve seen to a factual assessment of the case
You’d have to quote large sections of transcripts to get clearer
Self-defense (or defense of others) is narrowly construed. There are factors that can disprove any of the five elements in which case self defense fails
Here is an overview for others but be aware that just like the news accounts and Al Sharpton who parachuted in for this, it is written from the point of view of one side which is the police department union. Still, the facts speak for themselves I think

Judges do not convict, juries do
Wow!
That would be great.
I don’t know about that case mentioned by rduke but I generally like Pirro’s view.
It’s the Richard DiGuglielmo Jr case, if you were curious.
Hasn’t practiced law in over 20-years. Never practiced federal law of any kind, isn’t even admitted to the federal bar. These are serious times. They require serious, experienced people who have a track record….in THIS century.
She has a track record. DA and judge, among other things. It’s not rocket science, more like riding a bike, especially when there are many career deputies that actually are pushing the paper and showing up in court.
The perfect Trump choice. No experience required. The only thing she lacks is being a reality talk show host.
He did it just for you, so you could express more of the hatred that fills your being. If you had any class you would send a thank you note.
Show us on the Trump doll where the Mean Orange Man hurt you, cupcake.
What part of her experience as prosecutor did you miss?
He missed all of it. “Iowa’s Dumbest Lawyer” earned that title fair and square.
But renewable energy, man!
Uh huh. I haven’t seen your pussy so infected as now. I never saw a single comment from you about the inadequate unqualified choices the the dead man walking dementia patient chose.
But the most important part. You are pissed off because you will NEVER achieve the level of success that she has. You are a nonentity, a nobody, a legend in your own mind.
Don’t hold back Chief. 😂
Wow. Double Espresso this morning? 😉
Just speaks to the quality of FOX hosts,
Lol
Trump tried, they blocked his pick
He literally ca t trust many people, he can trust Pirro
Like the serious experienced people we’ve seen for the last 15 years?
Trump needed to appoint someone to prevent Boasberg from doing so. Judge Jeannie is loyal and I think the plan is to delegate to Martin.
She’s been appointed ‘interim’ USA.

It will be interesting to see if this is challenged in court. Trump’s own criminal defense team made the argument that the special counsel wasn’t constitutionally permissible because he came from outside government. They were likely correct. Interim USA appointments usually are awarded to prosecutors already inside the government for this reason.
Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998 is the controlling statutory law. Reading quickly through it, it’s hard to see how her ‘interim’ appointment is….legal.
No, the controlling statute in this case is 28 USC 546:
(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), the Attorney General may appoint a United States attorney for the district in which the office of United States attorney is vacant.
The Vacancies Act relates to “acting” appointments.
For what it’s worth, if there’s a conflict between 5 USC 3345, passed in 1998, and 28 USC 546, passed in 2007, the later one prevails.
So as interim, does that mean she’s not on track for full confirmation to the permanent job? And can she serve as interim for the next 3 1/2 years?
No, she can only serve for 120 days, or until there’s a confirmation (either hers or someone else’s), whichever comes first.
That’s why Martin had to go. His 120 days were almost up.
Looks like a middle finger pick to Tillis, McConnell, Murkowski and Collins to me
Exactly
And a punch to their guts too
And Martin is now going to head up a task force on weaponization of the DOJ/FBI
Of course that’s what this is. I’m just surprised Trump didn’t appoint Judge Judy as an FU to all involved
This is classic Trump. He is trolling the weak-minded as can be seen on this site.
It’s Trump saying, “Shoulda taken my first offer, chumps.” Pure Art of The Deal.
The rinos just learned a hard lesson about FAFO. They’re in the FO stage right now. Judge Pirro will pick up Ed Martin’s cases and run them even harder. She has a real axe to grind with a lot of demonrats. I for one am going to enjoy the fireworks.
I agree. This could get ugly for the DC crowd
this all will only work if
we get the same maga at the local levels and stop the lefts continued takeover of middle america and with the help of rinos
and
2028 brings us another pro maga agenda
Oh look- another MAGA slag with no self respect gets a big job based on her main qualification. Knobslobbering a fat blob who tried to rape
a woman in a dressing room and smashed a pornstar while his wife was pregnant. She must be so proud of herself!
You just jealous you didn’t get the “D”.
Your rant: “tried to rape
a woman in a dressing room.”
Fact: He was charged and found liable for sexual abuse. Not rape. Check with your Negroid friend on the View about what “Rape, Rape” is.
The charge was questionable at best because at the time this alleged act took place, Trump was probably one of the most recognizable people in the world. There is no way he could have gone into a department store, randomly choose one of the ugliest most pathetic looking women on the planet, took her into a dressing room and slipped her the big Orange “D.”
The ugly, hideous whore of a creature couldn’t state what day the alleged act took place, falsely stated the clothes she was wearing (which were proven not to have existed at the time), waited until years after the alleged act took place, and had to get New York to open the books for a year so the scag could file the claim and the fat black “Persecutor” could drag Trump into court.
That’s a BIG straw to grasp onto when you are drowning yourself in lies.
Oh, and regarding the bicycle “porn whore.” She stated that she didn’t even have sex with Trump.
He was, thank you, quite capable of dipping his big Orange D into any woman ready to spread her thighs wide enough to take it.
But you do you.
Sorry Prof., but he deserves this and I am ENTIRELY through with his BULLSHIT.
Oh look, it’s tjv1156, aka the stupid leftist troll who will believe anything that the Lying, (former) Main-Stream-Morons will spoon-feed him to fill his head full of mush instead of brains.
Think for ONE second, you lying, leftist troll. Donald Trump going ANYWHERE in the 90s was BIG NEWS. Do you REALLY think, for even ONE second, that he could have gone to the pitiful store where that ugly skank worked, WITHOUT being seen and commented on? SOMEBODY would have remembered him and SOMEBODY WOULD HAVE A PICTURE OF HIM THERE.
You know WHY that lying, ugly skank couldn’t pin it down to a day, or even a month, or a season, or even a FUCKING PARTICULAR YEAR, and NO ONE ELSE could even corroborate her SAYING something about it, EVER?? BECAUSE THEN IT WOULD BE ABLE TO BE CHECKED AND DISPROVED, YOU FUCKING ASSHAT. I ~~ASSURE~~ you, there is a schedule or calendar entry SOMEWHERE of EVERYWHERE Donald Trump went, spoke to, or interacted with during daytime hours in the 1990s to late 1990s, and then with the advent of Outlook 2000, it likely became a digital record calendar by one of his secretaries JUST TO KEEP HIM ON SCHEDULE. Are you REALLY so stupidly blind to a hit-job that you CAN’T see that her pinning it down to a date, or even a MONTH would have made her RIDICULOUS claim easily disprovable??
As for IF he had ANY intimate contact with Stephanie A. Gregory Clifford, I don’t know, but SHE denied it for years, and HE has ALWAYS denied it. So there was a NDA? SO WHAT? Those happen between people ALL THE TIME. Except SHE thought she could be cute, and OUT EARN her liquidated damages AND be a hero to the “Progressive Feminist Cause.” It didn’t work out well for her. You should read her divorce paperwork. Guess what? I DID BEFORE IT WAS SEALED BY THE COURT because I used to PRACTICE in KAUFMAN COUNTY, TEXAS. The references to the NONDISCLOSURE lawsuit as a CONFIRMED DEBT of the Marital Estate: Disastrous to her future income stream.
So fuck you tjv1156. Take it elsewhere you jackass leftist troll.

————————–
So tillis is saying not all defendants should be legally represented? What kind of “legislator” is that buhthead?
Tillis is my rep. I have emailed him on various occasions and after receiving his canned responses have determined he IS A DEMOCRAT.
