Judge Cannon CAUGHT Taking Gifts and NOT DISCLOSING [1]

It looks like Eileen Cannon is following in the footsteps of Clarence Thomas by taking lavish vacations on Republican donors dimes and not reporting them.

NPR has uncovered multiple trips she took to Montana that she failed to disclose on her mandatory Federal disclosure forms. Apparently donors to the George Mason School of law paid for these trips so judge Cannon could meditate under the beautiful Montana sky. Right as if…

Of course, as soon as NPR asked her for a comment, the trips magically showed up on her disclosure form. She says this was just a mistake by the website. Again as if.…

I am not sure how this will play into Trump's Mar-A-Lago document case. I am not a lawyer but it seems to me that it is time for Jack Smith to take this and other examples to the 11th circuit court of appeals and ask for her to be removed from the case. But again I'm not a lawyer so I don't know what effect this has in that case other than it sure seems like a conflict of interest to have a conservative political group funding trips for a judge who is overseeing a case against a leading conservative politician.

You can hear more about this incident on the Midas Touch Network video below.
