ABC
News
is
getting
in
the
Halloween
spirit
with
a
list
of
lawyers
serving
in
a
potential
Trump
administration.
Attorney
General
Aileen
Cannon?
JUMP
SCARE!
Trump
rewarding
the
judge
who
blew
up
his
documents
case
on
the
theory
that
special
counsels
are
unlegal
with
the
top
law
enforcement
position
in
his
administration
is
probably
a
troll
—
it
seems
unlikely
that
she
could
get
confirmed,
for
one
thing.
But
if
Trump
loses
the
election
and
the
11th
Circuit
revives
the
case,
the
rumor
might
find
its
way
into
a
motion
for
recusal.
Liberals
might
actually
prefer
an
AG
Cannon
to
some
of
the
other
ghouls
on
the
list,
though.
Jeff
“Oil
Spill”
Clark’s
name
has
been
bandied
about,
despite
the
fact
that
he
will
likely
be
banned
from
practicing
law
for
a
couple
years
thanks
to
his
efforts
to
overturn
the
last
election.
Other
potential
AGs
include
venomous
troll
Mike
Davis,
a
regular
on
Steve
Bannon’s
“War
Room”
podcast,
who
promises
to
use
the
power
of
the
federal
government
to
rain
vengeance
down
upon
Trump’s
enemies,
and
Mark
Paoletta,
currently
flouncing
around
spitting
“How
dare
you
question
sainted
Justice
Clarence
Thomas’s
ethics?
Have
you
no
shame,
sir!”
Or
words
to
that
effect.
Paoletta
already
proved
his
loyalty
in
the
first
Trump
administration
as
general
counsel
for
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget,
where
he
greenlit
withholding
defense
funds
for
Ukraine
allocated
by
congress
until
the
country’s
president
promised
to
“do
us
a
favor,
though”
and
announce
sham
investigations
into
Joe
Biden
and
his
son
Hunter.
Truly
the
least
terrifying
choice
on
this
list
is
Jay
Clayton,
the
former
head
of
the
SEC
under
Trump.
Clayton
would
be
a
preposterous
shill
for
big
business
and
an
antitrust
nightmare,
and
he
appears
to
have
been
complicit
in
Bill
Barr’s
efforts
to
ratfuck
the
Southern
District
of
New
York
to
stop
it
from
investigating
Giuliani
and
other
Trumpworld
henchmen.
But
he
doesn’t
look
like
someone
who
would
slip
razor
blades
into
Halloween
candy
to
teach
kids
a
lesson
about
the
evils
of
socialist
handouts.
Lower
down
in
the
demon
hierarchy,
ABC
suggests
that
attorney
Stan
Woodward
might
serve
as
White
House
Counsel.
Woodward
represents
various
midlevel
MAGA
dipshits,
including
Peter
Navarro
and
Kash
Patel,
as
well
as
multiple
January
6
defendants.
Most
notably,
Woodward
represented
Walt
Nauta,
Trump’s
codefendant
in
the
documents
case.
Previously,
he’d
represented
Mar-a-Lago’s
IT
head
Yuscil
Taveras,
who
recanted
his
prior
testimony
and
implicated
Nauta
and
Trump
about
five
seconds
after
Chief
Judge
James
Boasberg
appointed
him
a
different
lawyer
in
response
to
the
appearance
of
bias.
Judge
Cannon
saw
no
such
conflict,
and
allowed
him
to
stay
on
the
case
—
so
they’ll
already
have
a
good
working
relationship
when
they
get
to
the
White
House
in
January!
TRICK
OR
TREAT!
