Republican Senator Thom Tillis has declared he will block President Trump’s choice for the crucial position of US Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ed Martin.

His no vote will sink the nomination and if Martin isn’t confirmed in time, his replacement reportedly could be chosen by Trump-hating US District judge James Boasberg.

Tillis doesn’t even have a plausible reason, telling reporters that his difference with Tillis is over the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Martin believes that some J6ers were unfairly over prosecuted and Tillis believes they all should have been jailed “for absolutely destroying the Capitol” — which never happened.

Since Trump has pardoned all the J6ers , Tillis’ objection is absurd in every way.

How come the North Carolina senator had no problem waving through Joe Biden’s various activist picks? Anthony Blinken, Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco, and Matthew Graves were involved in protecting Hunter Biden and lawfare operations against Trump.

Perhaps the real reason for Tillis’ destructive decision is that as acting US attorney Martin has proved too aggressive in pursuing deep state wrongdoers for his liking.

For instance, Martin is questioning the Wikipedia Foundation, aka Wikipedia, on whether its propaganda activities violate its non-profit status in DC.

In a letter to the biased online encyclopedia last month he suggested that Wikipedia is “allowing foreign actors to manipulate information and spread propaganda to the American public … including the rewriting of key, historical events and biographical information of current and previous American leaders, as well as other matters implicating the national security and other interests of the United States.

“Moreover, we are aware that search engines such as Google have agreed to prioritize Wikipedia results due to the relationship that Wikipedia has established with these tech platforms. If the content contained in Wikipedia articles is biased, unreliable, or sourced by entities who wish to do harm to the United States, search engine prioritization of Wikipedia will only amplify propaganda to a larger American audience.

“Lastly, it has come to our attention that generative Al platforms receive Wikipedia data to train large-language models. This data is now consumed by masses of Americans and American teachers on a daily basis. If the data provided is manipulated, particularly by foreign actors and entities, Wikipedia’s relationship with generative Al platforms have the potential to launder information on behalf of foreign actors.”

Kaboom! This is our man against the DC swamp. He must be confirmed.
