Cannon is also on the leaked shortlist to be Donald’s AG if he disgraces the office again (there are thoughts it might have been an intentional leak to somehow shore up Cannon’s ‘Special Prosecutors are just a figment of our imagination, we’re hallucinating the hundreds of years of precedent’ reasoning to Judge Chutkan, like ‘See, this potential future AG says it, that’s gotta count for something’) , “The defendant offered me a very prestigious job” seems like a pretty major conflict of interest that should definitely have her removed from the case.
Conspiracy theorists are wild. Here we have Jeff Epstein’s best friend, who admitted he had the same “On the younger side” tastes (in addition to on his own time bragging that if he found someone attractive he sexually assaults them and he’ll get away with it because he’s famous, but you aren’t allowed to use that confession against him because he was in a locker room when he said it), and was in charge of the prison where he died, wished the woman who trafficked for him well, explicitly says he probably won’t release files on Epstein because of “false accusations”, and they don’t bat an eye for even a second. But if it was anyone but Donald any one of those things individually would have them screaming that it must mean something.
