Judge Cannon BACKED into CORNER as CRITICAL Trump EVIDENCE Leaks - Meidas Touch



There is a growing call for Judge Cannon, Trump’s handpicked judge in Florida, to either start contempt proceedings against the DOJ for releasing a memo about Trump’s profit motive in hoarding top secret/classified documents, or for her to receive a judicial reprimand or be impeached if she doesn’t.

Michael Popok takes a hard look at her order, the DOJ’s violation it, and the calls led by Rep. Jamie Raskin, ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, for her to start contempt proceedings. - 04/03/2026.

There is no mechanism other than impeachment and conviction by Congress. The chief judge can not fire her, all he can do is admonish her.

Leonard Leo is a main backer of Project 2025). She is an entrenched member of the Federalist Society and was caught not disclosing paid seminars and retreats she was a part of. Her husband, Josh Laurence is heavily into the corporate restaurant business and worked for John Rosatti who is rumored to have mob ties through all his various businesses and industries. Rosatti has a big corporate yacht business. Rossetti and his pal, John Staluppi had business dealings with Trump in the 80’s and are big political donors to him. They’re all tied up in this giant cabal of greed and corruption. Like George Carlin said, “ They own this fuckin’ place. It’s a big club and you and I ain’t in it!”
