Come on down Aileen

If you want to help ensure you keep getting the quid, never hurts to dangle the quo:

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.

And if she gets bored with administration a Supreme Court seat or two would open up before too long, and her Federalist Society credentials are impeccable (completely in-the-tank lawless hack, 43.)

Personally, I would prefer that these contradictions remain unheightened.
