Donald Trump and Fannie Willis lost in the Georgia case. And the circus begins.
Expect to see terms like ‘gross lapse in judgment’ used by former President Donald Trump and his gang. How could they resist?
Have you ever watched a debate and thought: Everyone here must lose?
This is an example from Fulton County, Georgia, where former President Donald Trump and eight of his co-defendants failed on Friday to remove District Attorney Fanny Willis from the racketeering case in which they are accused of trying to overturn the 2020 election in that state. Was accused of doing.Donald Trump and Fannie Willis lost in the Georgia case. And the circus begins
As the wins came, Willis began to look like a loser.
Everyone knows that Trump’s one real strategy is to turn everything into a circus. And Willis allowed her personal life – briefly dating the man she appointed to prosecute the case – to become an excuse that jeopardized it all.
This decision will not end bias. Trump has every reason to keep it going, to weaponize Willis’s behavior and delay the case as long as possible, to stop it. And he has allies ready to help, willing to use judgment to pull down Wills at every turn.
What did the Georgia judge rule on the Fani Willis case?
Fulton County Superior Court Scott McAfee rejected Willis’ request to be removed from the case in a 23-page order that offered two options. She could step aside and let the state committee choose a new prosecutor. Or the prosecutor she hired and then dated, Nathan Wade, could step down from the job as Willis’s case moves forward.
Wade stepped down from his post after Friday’s ruling, leaving Willis in charge of a case in the national spotlight. This denies Trump and his gang their real objective for now – to delay the matter until after the November election as he seeks the White House for a third time.Donald Trump and Fannie Willis lost in the Georgia case.

But Trump could ask McAfee to allow an immediate review of his decision by the Georgia Court of Appeals. Trump’s campaign responded to Friday’s decision, saying, “We will utilize all legal options available as we continue to fight to bring this case to an end.”
And more legal mines are being laid in Willis’ path every day in Georgia. McAfee’s tough and tough decisions may help them move forward faster.
Let the elections begin. Biden must win back 2020 voters. Trump only cares about MAGA.
Willis showed ‘lapse in judgment’ that will haunt him and the case against Trump
The crux of the challenge was that Willis, while dating Wade, went on lavish vacations, which he paid for. The Trump camp argued that hiring him was a way to pocket their salaries.
McAfee said Trump’s defense lawyers did not present “sufficient evidence” to prove this. And he said his two key witnesses – a former friend of Willis’s and Ward’s former law partner – “left the smell of lies” as he tried to determine whether they were telling the truth about Wade’s relationship with Willis. Were staying.
Nevertheless, McAfee said that Wade and Willis “left a significant appearance of impropriety that taints the current composition of the prosecution team.” And they took issue with Willis’s emotional outburst during her testimony, when she claimed she paid cash for expenses and reimbursed Wade for those trips.
“This finding is in no way an indication that the Court condones this egregious lapse in judgment or the unprofessional manner of the District Attorney’s testimony during the evidentiary hearing,” McAfee wrote.

They also took issue with his “unorthodox” public comments about the case and the challenge, particularly his January 14 appearance at an Atlanta church, in which he “hurled racial slurs” at the defendants (who are mostly white), while Wade is black. Is.

It is legal to “play the race card” in jurisprudence.
McAfee described this as “legally unfair” and suggested that “it is time to prevent the state from mentioning the case in any public forum to prevent prejudicial pre-trial publicity.”
