Trump Names New Interim DC Attorney

Oh, the irony. Senator Thom Tillis thought he pulled a fast one by sandbagging Ed Martin’s nomination for U.S. Attorney in D.C., throwing a public tantrum and all but daring President Trump to find someone else. Well, congratulations, Thom—you just traded Ed Martin for Judge Jeanine Pirro. And let me tell you, if the Tillis camp thought Martin was a handful, they’re about to get a masterclass in what a high-powered legal buzzsaw with a television audience looks like when she’s finally handed a federal badge.

Let’s get this straight: Judge Jeanine isn’t some random political hack pulled from obscurity. She was a DA when that actually meant something—before the job was reduced to some Soros-funded social experiment in “restorative justice.” She prosecuted criminals like it was her life’s calling (because it was), created the country’s first Domestic Violence Bureau, and shattered glass ceilings in New York before Democrats figured out how to spell “intersectionality.” And then, after years on the front lines of law and order, she took her talents to Fox News and became one of the loudest, sharpest voices defending sanity in a world addicted to leftist chaos.

So yeah, Thom Tillis torpedoed Ed Martin because, gasp, he was too closely aligned with January 6 defendants. And now? Trump ups the ante and puts Pirro in the ring—a woman who not only agrees with Martin’s outlook but comes with decades of prosecutorial and judicial clout to make it stick. That’s not a step backward. That’s political jujitsu at its finest.

And let’s not ignore the timing. Martin’s interim appointment is about to expire, and if there’s no replacement, the job falls to D.C. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg—yes, the same Boasberg who practically does cartwheels when given a chance to rule against Trump. Leaving that decision in his hands would be like asking Liz Cheney to run Mar-a-Lago security. Trump knows it, and he’s not playing defense.

Here’s the kicker: Judge Pirro is politically bulletproof compared to Martin. She never repped J6 defendants, but you can bet your last stimulus check she shares the same skepticism toward the DOJ’s endless political prosecutions. She has a resume that’s unimpeachable (sorry, couldn’t resist), a TV presence that makes liberals break out in hives, and a fan base that would follow her into battle. Good luck, Thom. Try spinning your opposition to her as principled without sounding like the Democrat whisperer you’re quickly becoming.

And let’s be honest—this appointment sends a message. You cross Trump, he doesn’t back down—he levels up. You want to block one nominee? Fine. He’ll give you someone smarter, louder, and more popular, with courtroom experience and a prime-time platform. It’s classic Trump strategy: force the opposition to pick their poison. And given how hard the left has worked to frame the justice system as their personal weapon, turning D.C.’s top prosecutor into a Judge Jeanine production is a direct hit to their narrative.

One can only imagine the fallout on The Five. Jessica Tarlov is probably already drafting a monologue that starts with “This is deeply troubling…” while Dana Perino quietly Googles the DOJ’s org chart. The fireworks are coming, and not just on TV. With Pirro in the prosecutor’s seat, the swamp rats in D.C. might want to double-check their email archives.

So to recap: Tillis thought he won a round. Instead, he handed Trump a golden opportunity. Jeanine Pirro isn’t just qualified—she’s locked, loaded, and ready to prosecute. This isn’t a consolation prize. This is a warning shot. And if the left isn’t nervous yet, they’re not paying attention.
