Andrew Weissman: What does Donald Trump have on Judge Cannon or her husband?

1. I think Cannon is in the pocket of some Republican loyalist. TFG probably has no idea who she is.

In the pocket may be due to a number of reasons that are not necessarily directly financial.

7. Follow the rubles.

2. Money is often persuasive.

Parked in an untraceable offshore account.

21. Exactly Bought justice, SARCASM!

[The Magistrate]

3. I Get So Tired Of This, Ma'am

Bad people don't have to be paid or blackmailed to do bad things.

It's the last twitch of the uplifting belief all people are good at heart. Not all are.

8. As always, measured and intelligent, but . . .

as well as his own intelligence, Trump might well have that of other nations.

I understand your comment about bad people. I've said it to myself repeatedly. But as someone liberal in temperament (even when a teen in the conservative Midwest) I still find it hard to conceive of evil except as an aberration of normality. Even as an elderly adult who has studied this fellow creatures in history, life, and fiction (I was an English prof.) for well over seven decades, it's a difficult conception (ignoring of course the discernibly mentally imbalanced people like the ones I worked with at mental institutions in the 60s). But "evil" is of such an issue . . .

I get tired of it, too. And I get tired of it in myself, since I know better, but still . . . the concept is so deep that even Baudelaire can't really bring me out of it.

10. What is "evil"?

Except the perception created by our own imagination?

[highplainsdem]

24. I agree, but even bad people usually try to convince others that they're good, at least when

in the public eye. Especially in professions that are supposed to have high ethical standards.

What Cannon is doing is egregious, so it isn't surprising that people wonder why she's doing this.

[dchill]

4. I think she is where she is, doing what she's doing...

...because she's a dumb, die-hard Trumper who has NO OTHER REASON for being there.

[Cosmocat]

11. Very likely

[DURHAM D]

5. I think she is either owned by Russia or China. Period.

[spanone]

6. I imagine tfg had a dossier on every judge recommended by the federalist society

and picked the lowest hanging fruit

[2naSalit]

9. Taking...

Instruction from the federalist soc to which she is heavily connected.

[dalton99a]

14. Fascist Society membership should be treated like Klan membership

It should be an automatic disqualifier for government work

Their goal is to destroy democracy and institute fascism

[2naSalit]

17. I can't...

Argue with that!

[SheltieLover]

20. You nailed it!

[bluestarone]

25. ABSOLUTELY 100%

[NullTuples]

12. I still say it's Federalist Society, just like all the other judges.

She's already a member. All they had to do was make her the offer of a lifetime appointment. It's a well-paying gig with no real oversight, in return for doing whatever they say.

I honestly do not believe Trump knew any of the judges he appointed before the names were handed to him, save for a few obvious ones.

13. It could be blackmail - or merely that she's a RW Cuban exile anxious to "belong"

Many Latin American immigrants - particularly the 'whiter' ones - tend to be desperate for acceptance by those they see as the top of the totem pole.

Which for them, means being WASP and Republican.

(the sad irony being, that no Repug would ever accept them as one of 'them')

Most of Latin America has a caste system - where race equals status, money equals status, and status is everything.

And Aileen? She wants her Mercedes!

[intrepidity]

15. I thought she was from Colombia? nt

[peppertree]

23. She's Cuban by way of Colombia

Of course though, this problem described above is certainly not exclusive to either.

[Quakerfriend]

16. I agree. However, she's Colombian, not Cuban.

[dalton99a]

19. Her mother emigrated to Colombia from Cuba

[Cozmo]

18. Why would anyone expect a tfg appointed judge to act judiciously without favor to the orange blob?

It makes no sense, so get over it, Cannon has been bought!

[WarGamer]

22. I'd like to know what Andrew Weissman had on the Judge in US v Arthur Andersen

You know... when the Judge allowed Weissmann to give information sooo misleading to the Jury that SCOTUS rejected/overturned the conviction 9-0 and the opinion including O'Conner and RBG blasted Weissmann.

You know what I REALLY hate about TFG?

MORE than the corruption and the hate and the bigotry and racism??? More than the cruelty and the lies?



I HATE the fact that enemies of "good" like Andrew Weissmann, Liz Cheney, Steve Schmidt and Adam Kinziger are lauded as HEROES by our side because ONE SINGLE TIME in their life they did the right thing... hating Trump.

[Hotler]

26. He seems to have shit on a lot of people, many are afraid of him.

Didn't the FBI find a leather bound photo album... word of that has gone quiet. Must be pics of Epstein parties. Maybe the real classified documents were the pics.
