Tom Fitton on Ed Martin Nomination, IRS Targeting, and Border Security

Opposition to Ed Martin's Nomination

• 📌 Senator Tom Tillis is reportedly opposing the nomination of Ed Martin as U.S. Attorney for Washington D.C., citing concerns related to January 6th prosecutions.
• ⚠️ Tom Fitton expresses dismay, stating that Tillis allegedly mocked the death of Ashley Babbitt, whose family Judicial Watch represents.
• 🎯 Fitton argues that Ed Martin is feared by the left because he initiated investigations into potential law-breaking by figures like Chuck Schumer and Adam Schiff.
• ⚡ The opposition is framed not around January 6th or crime, but rather the left's nervousness about accountability for "lawfare" and abuses against Trump.

Judicial Watch Lawsuit Against the IRS

• 🔍 Judicial Watch has filed a lawsuit against the IRS seeking records on whether January 6th protesters were targeted, suspecting political pressure from Democrats.
• 🏛️ Fitton draws a parallel to the IRS targeting of the Tea Party, suggesting a pattern of weaponized agencies under the Biden regime.
• 🗣️ He hopes the lawsuit will encourage Trump administration officials and supporters to come forward with their experiences of being improperly targeted by the IRS.

Supreme Court Ruling on Transgender Military Service

• ⚖️ The Supreme Court has allowed the ban on transgender individuals serving in the military to proceed, overturning a lower court's ruling.
• 🚀 Fitton views this as a pause in a potential "coup" by lower courts attempting to hijack the commander-in-chief's powers regarding military personnel policy.

Border Security and Administration Priorities

• 🇺🇸 Fitton praises President Trump for securing the border, calling it a critical achievement that prevented the country from breaking.
• 💰 He emphasizes the need for Congressional funding and legislation to enhance border enforcement, interior removals, and mass deportations.
• 📈 A major hurdle is the upcoming reconciliation fight to prevent tax increases and secure funding for enforcement.
• ⚖️ Fitton calls for accountability for "deep state" abuses and Biden family corruption, suggesting Trump should push the Justice Department or appoint special prosecutors.
