Now the French judge says she was pressured by the Canadians

I've heard that rumor too and that's just plain nonsense on it's face. Why would the Canadians pressure the French judge to score the Russian Figure Skaters highly in exchange for a Russian high score for the French Ice Dancers? Pure nonsense.

The only thing I can think of is maybe the Canadians pressured the French judge to say she had been pressured. I heard it from more than one source. We will probably never know. If they have an investigation it will be privat and they will issue a ruling without explaining anything.
