I think there's no time like the present for Special Council Jack Smith to initiate recusal proceedings against Judge Aileen Cannon.

Trump ally Steve Bannon loses appeal of conviction for defying Jan. 6 probe ( www.reuters.com )

It looks like he may soon (finally) be heading to serve his sentence.
