During an appearance on MSNBC on Sunday afternoon, former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance claimed it is too risky for special counsel Jack Smith to try Donald Trump for obstruction of justice in Judge Aileen Cannon's courtroom , so drastic measures need to be taken immediately. Speaking with fill-in host Ali Vitali, Vance said now is the time for the Department of Justice to file paperwork demanding the Trump-appointed jurist recuse herself and then make her defend her actions in writing . "What do you think? Are you of the opinion that Jack Smith should be taking steps to get the judge off this case as soon as possible?" host Vitali prompted.

"This judge is behaving in a way that is so far outside the realm that it has left them scratching their heads and looking for a strategy." "I think at this point the DOJ ought to go ahead and file a motion to recuse the judge," she continued before elaborating, "She's obligated to respond to that in writing if she denies it and then Jack Smith will be able to take it to the 11th Circuit." "You know, a recusal is difficult for prosecutors. it is not something that we'll do frequently and requires the approval of the solicitor general," she added. " But this is a judge who has made repeated rulings that the 11th Circuit hasn't just said they were wrong, not just said we're wrong, they said they were just in a different universe. And I think that this is the right sort of case and this is the moment where Jack Smith will need to do that. He cannot go to trial in front of this judge., it is far too risky."

Fox News host Howard Kurtz reminded
Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt that her boss could still talk about his hush-money case even though a judge put a limited gag order in place. While speaking to Leavitt on Sunday, Kurtz noted that former President Donald Trump had said he was willing to go to jail after Judge Juan Merchan prevented him from talking about court staff or the judge's family. "If this partisan
Hack wants me to put, wants to put me in the clink for speaking the open, obvious truth, I will gladly become a modern-day Nelson Mandela," Trump wrote about the gag order, Kurtz reported. "So why is he comparing himself to Mandela?" the Fox News host asked. "And is he now worried about going to jail in this case?" "No, not at all," Leavitt insisted. "Truth will ultimately prevail in this case and in all of the cases. The
Democrats want
President Trump confined to a courtroom." "Unfortunately, he'll have to be on trial in a dark, dirty
New York City courtroom because Alvin Bragg is a far-left district attorney who has spent more time persecuting President Trump than prosecuting real violent criminals on the streets of New York," she continued. "President Trump is exposing the truth in all of these Biden-led witch hunts." ALSO READ: Inside the neo-Nazi hate network grooming children for a race war Leavitt attributed the gag orders to Democrats who want to "silence" Trump. "And that's exactly why you see these gag orders coming down," she opined. "Not only are they prosecuting him, but they want to silence him." "It's a complete violation of his First Amendment rights." Kurtz ended the interview with a correction. "He can still talk about the case," the Fox News host said. "But I'm glad to have your response on that."

According to a report from the
Washington Post, there is a severe morale problem among House
Republicans who are tired of the chaos that has led to the ousting of previous Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), and the back-biting that has led to a whopping 21 lawmakers who are leaving — five of whom who are bailing before the
election . That, along with the ouster of Rep. George Santos (R-NY), has left the GOP with the slimmest of margins and is creating headaches for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) who is also facing calls for his demotion as the House leader. ALSO READ: Lauren Boebert’s high school has canceled the congresswoman What worries Republicans even more is the possibility more members will announce their departure and then step down immediately handing possible control of the chamber to the Democrats. Johnson was candid about his dismay of a declining majority, stating in an interview: “We’ve got to be ready to govern, and we’re going to turn this mess around 180 degrees, but we’ve got to get through this difficult valley to get to that other side.” According to the Post, former Rep. Ken Buck (R-Co), who has already stepped aside, claimed there could be more to follow him. “This is a dysfunctional place and I’m not making an observation that others haven’t made,” he admitted. "The decision to step back is yet another sign of the broader drop in morale within the GOP conference. Many Republican lawmakers have largely accepted that their inability to govern is a predicament of their own making. They acknowledge that overcoming their legislative impasse relies on not just keeping control of the House in November, but growing their ranks significantly to neutralize the handful of hard-liners who wield influence by taking advantage of the narrow margins," The Post is reporting before adding, "But many also continue to say privately what few have acknowledged publicly: Republicans believe they are likely to lose the majority."
