“LEAKED Documents REVEAL Trump's NEXT STEPS for Judge Cannon”
“Special Counsel Jack Smith must seek the immediate emergency removal of Judge Aileen Cannon from the Mar a Lago prosecution of Trump, based on new leaked secret documents from Trump's transition team that, as a reward for her dismissing the 40 count felony indictment against Trump, she is now at the top of his Attorney General selection list, along with Trump's own criminal defense lawyer. Popok is @ The Intersection to break down this break down in ethics that stinks of criminal misconduct as well.”
“A proposed personnel roster circulating within Donald Trump's campaign and transition operation lists Aileen Cannon, the federal judge who threw out Trump's classified documents case, as a possible candidate for attorney general, multiple sources familiar with the matter have told ABC News.
Cannon's name appears on a document reviewed by ABC News titled "Transition Planning: Legal Principals," which lists potential staffing for the White House counsel's office, the Department of Justice, the FBI, and U.S. attorneys' offices, as well as proposed candidates for the top legal positions within multiple government agencies, should Trump be reelected.
The document was drafted by Trump's top advisers with input from Boris Epshteyn, who oversees Trump's legal team and is one of Trump's most trusted advisers, sources familiar with the matter said.
Cannon's name appears second after former SEC Chairman Jay Clayton, according to the document reviewed by ABC News, which includes nearly a dozen potential candidates for attorney general. Cannon's name was added to the list well after the classified documents case was thrown out over the summer, the sources said.
Trump nominated Cannon as a U.S. district judge for the Southern District of Florida in 2020 and has repeatedly praised her for dismissing the 40 criminal counts brought by special counsel Jack Smith related to Trump's handling of classified materials after leaving the White House.
Cannon dismissed the case on the first day of the Republican National Convention in July, on the grounds that Smith's appointment as special counsel overseeing the case was unconstitutional because he was not appointed by the president or confirmed by Congress. Smith has appealed that decision.”
