So Judge Cannon's Father in law is a mobster? This is a deep rabbit hole, so check it out.

“ The Colombos and The Grim Reaper

Trump connects to the Colombo crime family through at least two reputed members: John Staluppi and John Rosatti, business partners in numerous car dealerships who, in the mid-'80s, contracted with Trump to build a Trump-branded limousine—his first foray into personal branding of a non-real estate product.
Staluppi also operated a company called Dillinger Charter Service, which supplied helicopters to the Trump Organization (along with another colorful convict named Joe Weichselbaum). Staluppi and Rosatti also went into the yacht business, buying custom-built high-speed megayachts for themselves, naming them all after James Bond films and, they claimed, selling them after a couple years for a profit.”


This was the original link I traced back from. Maybe it’s not true but sure can’t find much about it.

I don't know what cover ups there were, if any, but Cannon's husband worked in Rosatti's business BurgerFi as an upper level manager. Rosatti is a member of the Colombo Crime Family. Rosatti is reported to be friends with Trump and made a campaign contribution. (What's a "Roman attorney"?) I don't like this connection, but it's kind of shadowy. I'll bet that Jack knows about this.

I think that for this to be significant in terms of getting the Judge recused, her husband would have to be a soldier in that Family. They way I understand it, nowadays you have to be White, well-connected or Rich, to get that status. Also, some part Sicilian. So, I can't see that being the case.

Regardless, we should probably conduct a hearing with a deep dive into the Judge's sex life and financials to determine if a conflict of interest exists and if a recusal is necessary ala Fani Willis...

Looks like his online presence was scrubbed .

I knew her own Dad was a Judge who belonged to the Federalist Society. She is too.

government control. In her family, the law was the problem.
