'Traps' ahead for Mike Johnson as he seeks House Speaker re-election: Politico

Current House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) appears to have a clear path to his retaining his seat as the leader of the Republican Party majority House for now, but Politico reports there are pitfalls facing him with such a slim majority.

As the report notes, major opposition to Johnson has melted away after he allied himself more closely with Donald Trump who subsequently offered his approval.

Politico's Jordain Carney and Olivia Beavers are reporting, "... his [Johnson's] improved fortunes are attributable to three main factors, all things he’s played an active role in: Bringing his defectors into the fold and hearing them out, punting a huge funding fight into early next year and securing President-elect Donald Trump’s endorsement."

It only takes one renegade Republican House member to derail his re-election with Politico reporting Democrats will not be coming to his aid this time where "he has almost no room for error in January."

Getting to January is another matter.

There are still some traps remaining that Johnson will need to avoid. Conservatives are still watching closely to see how Johnson handles a Dec. 20 government funding deadline, including the details of any disaster aid money," the report states before adding, "If Johnson had agreed to a mammoth end-of-year spending bill, known as an omnibus, it could have sparked conservative ire at the worst time for the speaker."

The report also notes that there is no appetite among his colleagues to run as an alternative candidate.

According to Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC), "Who are you going to get? Who wants it?”

Legal expert raises alarm over 'shocking, astonishing, disturbing' Devin Nunes intel job

During an appearance on MSNBC on Sunday morning, former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade raised red flags over Donald Trump's appointment of Truth Social exec Devin Nunes as chairman of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board.

Speaking with MSNBC fill-in host Melissa Murray, the former prosecutor claimed that, with all of the president-elect's problematic nominations, allowing Nunes access to sensitive intel secrets may be the worst of all.

McQuade got right to the point, calling the appointment, "A shocking, astonishing, disturbing, and fill in your descriptor, conflict of interests."

"As chairman, Devin Nunes will have access to all of the intelligence that is gathered by the intelligence community," she explained. "The idea is that he is supposed to be the president's eyes and ears over the intelligence community. With that information, and simultaneously serving as the head of Truth Social, it means he has the ability to post things he shouldn't know but also as Rick Wilson points out, the fact that Truth Social receives funding from foreign governments, while they are also targets of our intelligence come is deeply disturbing."

"If someone had to go through a routine background investigation, those conflicts would be flagged with screaming sirens and I would imagine that most presidents, most offices of personnel management would find him to be a nonstarter," she added.

"But here we have Donald Trump putting [him] in place, knowing about this conflicts," she suggested. "I think of all of the appointments, this conflict might be the most disturbing."
