Former President Trump appoints Jeanine Pirro as interim U.S. Attorney for D.C. after dropping Ed Martin, leaving everyone, including probably her, a little bewildered.

What?! Pirro in D.C.?

¡Che qué sorpresa! Even I Lionel Messi had to take a double take on this one. Trump just announced Jeanine Pirro is the interim U.S. Attorney for D.C. It's like finding out your grandma is now coaching Barcelona. Unexpected to say the least. Apparently Ed Martin the previous nominee wasn't exactly scoring goals with the Senate so Trump went in a different direction. A *very* different direction.

A Staunch Supporter

Now I'm just a simple guy who likes to kick a ball around but even I know Pirro is a BIG Trump supporter. He even pardoned her ex husband! Talk about loyalty! It's like if Maradona pardoned… well you get the idea. Anyway Fox News is saying goodbye and wishing her the best in Washington. I just hope she knows the difference between a penalty box and a courtroom.

Martin Gets a Consolation Prize?

So what happens to Ed Martin? Don't worry Trump's got him covered. He's moving to the Department of Justice as the Director of the Weaponization Working Group. Sounds important! It's like getting a participation trophy but instead of a plastic medal you get to investigate… stuff. Trump says Martin will "make sure we finally investigate the Weaponization of our Government under the Biden Regime." ¡Ay Dios mío! Things are getting spicy.

Senator Says 'No Gracias'

Senator Thom Tillis from North Carolina basically gave Martin the red card citing his support for the January 6th Capitol riot defendants. Apparently supporting those guys wasn't a winning strategy. Trump admitted he was "disappointed," but hey that's politics right? It's like when I miss a penalty kick – disappointing but you gotta move on.

D.C.'s Shadow Senator Has Thoughts

Ankit Jain D.C.'s shadow senator is willing to give Pirro a chance but he's got some concerns. He wants to make sure she's focused on fighting violent crime not just going after Trump's enemies. He's worried she'll "whitewash the events of January 6th." Sounds like someone needs a good pep talk… or maybe a few yellow cards.

So What Now?

Honestly I don't know what to expect. All I know is that politics is a wild game full of unexpected twists and turns. It's like trying to dribble past ten defenders while wearing clown shoes. But hey as they say in Argentina "La pelota siempre al 10" – Always give the ball to the number 10. In this case maybe we should all give the law to I don't know the lawyers? I am out!
