Al Franken suggests conspiracy theory about Trump case judge before trial.

Disgraced Former Sen. Al Franken Floats Conspiracy Theory About Judge in Trump Case Before Trial Even Begins

As the establishment media blasts Kool & the Gang’s “Celebration” at top volume on repeat over the 37-count federal indictment against former President Donald Trump, there is something the left is fretting about: namely, the judge assigned to the case.

Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, is scheduled to hear the case against the former president, which includes felony charges of willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and false statements. The press is going full-Chernobyl over this, given that Cannon gave Trump’s team what they saw as favorable rulings after the raid on the president’s Mar-a-Lago residence last August.

The freakout level at Politico, for instance, is about a 5: “Trump drew one of his favorite judges. Here’s how she could help his case.” MSNBC, maybe a 6: “Aileen Cannon doesn’t recuse (yet) from Trump’s classified documents case.” Slate, we’re going to give them a 9 on the freakout scale: “Aileen Cannon’s Previous Rulings About Trump Demand Her Recusal.”

And then there’s former Democratic Minnesota Sen. Al Franken — who, much like Spinal Tap’s amps, has a freakout scale that goes to 11.

Just hours after Trump was formally indicted Tuesday in Florida, Franken took to Twitter with a bizarre conspiracy theory: Cannon might be playing a long game to get on the Supreme Court.

At first glance, the level of delusion on display here — bordering on derangement, given the outrageousness of the implied charge — was reminiscent of liberal journalist and media strategist Sally Kohn’s infamous “straightforward from here” tweet, just in reverse.
