Kevin McCarthy is still angry about being ousted as the House Speaker, and he wants revenge against Matt Gaetz. During a brief conversation with a CNN reporter, McCarthy said that Congress would be a lot better if Gaetz were no longer around, but he said that would be a decision left up to the caucus. Not only does this show that McCarthy wants vengeance, but it also strongly suggests that this is a conversation that may already be taking place.
Also, Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump lawyer Christopher Kise to apologize to prosecutors in court this past week, after Kise verbally attacked the prosecutors. Kise told prosecutors that they should check the internet for job openings, and suggested that they would be right at home in Vladimir Putin's Russia. These are tactics that are used by lawyers when they have their backs against the wall and have no actual defense strategy.
Finally, during his rally in Florida this week, Donald Trump admitted to the crowd that he's only having trouble in court from judges that were appointed by Democrats, and that he's had nothing but smooth sailing from conservative judges. This was a very clear wink and nod to Judge Aileen Cannon, the only conservative judge that Trump is dealing with, and he happens to be the one that appointed her. It wouldn't be surprising to see prosecutors use this against him if they want to file for a motion for recusal.
