I’m guessing that Cannon tried to involve them in the sort of things that would qualify them for severe jailtime
I hope they run to the DoJ and judicial oversight peeps if that’s true.
There are simpler explanations - she’s pretty clearly an incompetent political installation… I don’t know if you’ve ever had a nepobaby coworker but incompetent people installed for prestige really destroy workplace morale. It could be that she was advocating for illegal stuff outloud or she may just be disappointingly incompetent.
And an alternative explanation… she’s clearly at the epicenter of a political shitshow - it’s really easy to become collateral damage. Whether you, as a clerk, agree with her politically or not, it’s dangerous to be near her.
eh. I believe they’ve addressed this in both the article and elsewhere.
Clerks are usually only hired for a single year. clerking for a federal judge is a golden ticket and highly competitive. She could be utterly incompetent, but it’s still a thing that will land on their resume (possibly with qualifications, sure,). Jumping ship is really just not done unless there’s something extreme going on. it’s almost unheard of for 2 clerks to leave in the same year.
one left after having a kid, apparently. so maybe it was just that. but still. it’s shocking that 2 have left, and the second is “unclear”.
