Judge Cannon called out for playing 'death-ball' with Trump trial

Reacting to the speed with which the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia will hear arguments over Donald Trump's assertion that he should be afforded presidential immunity over his Jan. 6 insurrection actions, one former U.S. attorney took a shot at U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen Cannon.

Speaking with MSNBC host Katie Phang, former prosecutor Joyce Vance praised the D. C. court taking up the question of immunity that is presently holding up Donald Trump's Jan. 6 trial in Judge Tanya Chutkan's courtroom.

She contrasted that with the Trump-appointed Cannon where there is no progress being made after special counsel Jack Smith filed obstruction of justice charges against Trump for stealing sensitive government documents, storing them in his Mar-a-Lago resort and refusing to return them.

According to Vance, "This is the key question because Trump's overall strategy is one of delay, get everything past the election, and hope that you can resolve everything from the Oval Office in your favor."

"I think it's been a little bit baffling to watch some of the judges like Aileen Cannon and the Florida Mar-a-Lago related criminal prosecution, where she has been playing, you know, slow-ball. I think some people would call it death-ball, trying to keep that case from going anywhere," she told the host.

'What we're seeing now in Washington is very hopeful," she added. "To people who aren't lawyers, I think the speed at which courts move is mystifying, is extremely slow. What we've seen in these last couple of weeks has been lightning speed, out of both of these courts."

Trump's foreign cash haul is proof he's a 'walking national security threat': lawmaker

Responding to questions about a bombshell report from Democrats on the House Oversight Committee that Donald Trump and his family were the recipients of likely more than $8 million in foreign payments, one Democratic lawmaker suggested the cash haul is evidence he can't be trusted with the nation's security.

With the report bluntly calling the evidence "A stunning web of millions of dollars," Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) was asked by MSNBC host Paola Ramos about the implications of Trump returning back to the White House now that it is known Republicans have turned a blind eye to his financial windfall.

"The whole thing was bad, it was a lot," she told the host. "Knowing that he was taking money from Saudi Arabia at the same time that he was ignoring the advice of his own advisers and entering into this arms deal with Saudi Arabia, I mean, there's a lot of scary things in this report."

"And as people are on edge with war, you know, this only makes me more on edge about the possibility of him regaining access to the White House, and I honestly feel like this guy sold us out before," she continued. "We know that we still don't understand fully what the secrets look like that were sitting down at Mar-a-Lago. We know that he was reckless and intentionally reckless with our secrets and with the secrets of our friends."

"So for me, I'm concerned for our safety and I want Americans to understand that while I know we love to live in a bubble, we're not," she told the host. "The Republicans are a threat. [GOP Sen. Tommy] Tuberville was making a huge issue for us for national security. Trump is a walking national security threat, as well as a constitutional crisis all mixed up in one."
