Surely to be a clown show. We know that RFK certainly thinks he’s getting nominated for HHS, which includes FDA.

President Trump plans to put Ed Martin, his first pick for U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., who was rebuffed by the Senate, in a far-reaching role at the Justice Department.

In a Thursday evening post on his social media site, Trump said Martin would serve as both the head of a new Weaponization Working Group and as the U.S. pardon attorney from a perch in the Office of the Deputy Attorney General.

“Ed will make sure we finally investigate the Weaponization of our Government under the Biden Regime, and provide much needed Justice for its victims,” Trump wrote.

Trump indicated Thursday that he would pull Martin’s nomination after Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said he would not vote to advance the attorney out of the Senate Judiciary Committee, effectively killing his nomination after a string of controversies.

Trump then said Thursday in the Oval Office that he hoped to find a role in the Justice Department for the controversial attorney.

The Weaponization Working Group was established by Attorney General Pam Bondi and lays out clear objectives — mandating review of special counsel Jack Smith’s work and “the pursuit of improper investigative tactics” related to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

As pardon attorney, Martin would also be responsible for reviewing petitions of those hoping to have their sentences commuted or be pardoned by the president — a group that already includes former GOP Rep. George Santos (N.Y.).……

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s pick to lead a federal watchdog agency is a former right-wing podcast host who has praised criminally charged influencer Andrew Tate as a “extraordinary human being" and promoted the false claim that the 2020 election was rigged.

If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Paul Ingrassia would lead the Office of Special Counsel, an agency dedicated to protecting whistleblowers that is also responsible for enforcing the Hatch Act, which restricts the partisan political activities of government workers.

Trump described Ingrassia in a social media post on Thursday as a “highly respected attorney, writer and Constitutional Scholar.” Ingrassia was most recently working as the White House liaison for Homeland Security after briefly serving in the liaison position at the Justice Department.

Ingrassia called his nomination the “highest honor.” Ingrassia didn't immediately respond to a message on Friday.

“As Special Counsel, my team and I will make every effort to restore competence and integrity to the Executive Branch — with priority on eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal workforce and revitalize the Rule of Law and Fairness in Hatch Act enforcement,” Ingrassia wrote on social media.

Ingrassia worked for a law firm whose clients included Andrew and Tristan Tate, the influencer brothers charged in Britain and Romania with rape and human trafficking. Ingrassia has described Andrew Tate, the former professional kickboxer and self-described misogynist, as an “extraordinary human being” and “the ancient ideal of excellence.”

“It is for this reason that he and his brother have become public enemies number one and two in the eyes of the Matrix, the deep state, and the satanic elite that attempt to systematically program and oppress all men from womb-to-tomb – a form of communism that not even Karl Marx, in his wildest dreams, could have imagined,” Ingrassia wrote in a 2023 social media post.

Ingrassia that same year published a Substack post titled “Free Nick Fuentes,” criticizing then-Twitter’s decision to suspend the account of the far-right activist who has used his online platform to spew antisemitic and white supremacist rhetoric. Ingrassia was seen in 2024 at a rally where Fuentes spoke, The Intercept reported.

Ingrassia previously told NPR that he did not intend to go the impromptu Fuentes rally, which was near another event, adding: “I had no knowledge of who organized the event, observed for 5-10 minutes, then left."...............
