Yet, did any questioner confront Martin with the facts as reported, after he said, "I do not recall"?

petersagal.bsky.social•4 days ago

These were written responses to a Senate questionnaire.

skip1515.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thanks. Disappointed that that meant there could not be follow up, but that does make clear why no one challenged him.

proamfollower.bsky.social•4 days ago

No, that's not true because Austin kept giving different answers! This martin guy isn't intelligent enough to do that!

blackacolyte.bsky.social•4 days ago

We are in big trouble :(

michelebella.bsky.social•4 days ago

"I do not recall" is the official motto of the Trump regime.

Ed Martin has been a great canker sore on the anus of the legal system for 20 years. Dirty tricks, lying, and tantrums are his specialties

This shit is my bag baby?

Authoritarian insurrection IS my bag, baby!

tibbi.bsky.social•4 days ago

With such obvious brain damage he shouldn’t be in any government position.

datadefender.bsky.social•4 days ago

At least Austin Powers finally acknowledged that the penis pump was ultimately his.

paula72.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yes- very much so.

Clear perjury. "I do not recall." That's an obvious lie.

justnormalphil.bsky.social•4 days ago

@petersagal.bsky.social , even police officers supported Trump and his pardons. None of this should make sense. If you place the penis pump in their stupid little hands they would still deny they are holding it.

Austin had a bit of shame when being asked about his Swedish Penis Pump.

I’m not sensing much shame here.

I do think it's interesting that the pubic statements, I think it was Thune(?), had concerns that he represented January 6 people, not that he repeatedly made statements about January 6 mirrored by members of the House, Senate, and the President.

(This is Ed Martin, the acting US Attorney for Washington DC)

realmovieev.bsky.social•4 days ago

something martin clearly hopes the committee does not recall

scottij.bsky.social•4 days ago

This skeet makes it sound like Ed Martin has hacked your Bluesky account in order to reach a wider audience. :-)

dadraimondo.bsky.social•4 days ago

Also, Trump trade policy is now just “penis pump but for prices of basic goods”

deebell.bsky.social•4 days ago

Martin doesn't deserve the job he has, let alone the one is was applying for.

Good!!

changegamer.bsky.social•4 days ago

These Trumpers he finds are like something you scrape off the bottom of your shoe.
In this case how are these replies not lies and disrespect?
Just hallmarks of the magat creed, I guess.
Justly deserves the boot!
Bye Felicia!

They are the lint in the belly button of an ocean bottom-dweller.

vicgoof.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thank goodness!! We all have to keep shining light on the hypocrisy and flat out lying.

cartercw.bsky.social•4 days ago

Now will he nominate a credible candidate or just appointment another extremist as interim?

cyclingfun.bsky.social•4 days ago

Tillis said "No" to his nomination?! Is the veneer of total servitude cracking?

roberts-rants.bsky.social•4 days ago

Great. Pushback works!

lizbethd.bsky.social•4 days ago

he kinda looks like Rex Heuermann of the Gilgo Beach killings... Sacry af

Couldn't have happened to a more useless piece of ****. Nice to see that there's a limit to his career of failing up.

The only downside is this toad will probably return to Missouri and continue to be useless. Fingers crossed he gets lost on the way or falls into a sinkhole or something.

ed-tracey.bsky.social•4 days ago

"I do not recall" = "I do recall it, but my attorney has advised me not to give a yes/no answer ... lest I commit perjury".

jefflabrecque.bsky.social•4 days ago

This IS my bag, baby.
