BREAKING: Judge Rules Fani Willis Can Continue Trump Prosecution—But There's a Catch
PJ Media ^ | 03/15/2024 | Chris Queen

Posted on 03/15/2024 7:21:46 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Fulton County, Ga., Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee made his decision on whether District Attorney Fani Willis can continue prosecuting Donald Trump and 18 other co-defendants on corruption charges.

McAfee ruled that Willis can continue to prosecute the former president and his co-defendants, but he has given the state multiple options to handle the case. All options involve Nathan Wade stepping away from the team.

“The prosecution of this case cannot proceed until the State selects one of two options,” McAfee wrote in his decision. “The District Attorney may choose to step aside, along with the whole of her office, and refer the prosecution to the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council for reassignment... Alternatively, (Special Assistant District Attorney) Wade can withdraw, allowing the District Attorney, the Defendants, and the public to move forward without his presence or remuneration distracting from and potentially compromising the merits of this case.”

Willis campaigned as an anti-corruption candidate in 2020 because accusations of sexual and financial wrongdoing surrounded her predecessor, Paul Howard. She declared to an interviewer that the people of Fulton County “deserve a DA that won't have sex with his employees [and] won't put money in their own pocket.”

McAfee ordered a hearing into Willis’ conflicts of interest after reports surfaced in January that Willis was allegedly carrying on an affair with Nathan Wade, an attorney she hired as a special counsel on the case. Despite his lack of experience with RICO cases, Willis paid him more than more experienced attorneys for his work.

Willis also allegedly dispatched Wade to meet with Biden administration officials about the Trump prosecution.

That’s a nothing burger.

Wade withdraws. Prosecution continues.

Big whoop.

Woose!
Apparently, Georgia approves of such corruption in Fulton County. Let them reap what they sow.

McAfee just handed Trump a nice present (grounds for appeal/mistrial, from the Bench).

Anyone surprised by this “decision?” The judge is trying to have it both ways, but Fat Fani gets to stay on the case.

Judge was most likely threatened with BLM rioting, getting his house burned down and threats against his little children.

Still, he is a coward.

He was going to lose the next election either way against a black Marxist challenger.

Sounds like Judge McAfee thinks that things will be on the up and up with “one weird trick.”

Since this judge has now finally ruled, Trumps team can Appeal his ruling. Had this judge never agreed to hearing the case, then there would be no appeal until a verdict, but now it is fair game to be seen my a federal judge.

Thus this is NOT over.

Some tell me if I am right or wrong!

Judge McAfee got the message. Is there nothing the Left cannot do without serious consequences?

The problem is more about Fani than Nathan Wade.

So the judge throws Nathan under the bus so the circus can continue. Crazy.

The Judge just went on national television and the interwebs and announced that he is now changing genders and becoming a 7-year-old girl and having his testicles removed because he wasn’t using them.

Not exactly...Jordan is after her and so is the Bar. If Wade goes...I think Bradley will stop his lying...ask for immunity...and testify truthfully.

I knew it was going to be stupid, I just never thought it would be this stupid...

No referral for prosecution for perjury?

TRUMP should appeal this

.............So, BIG FANNY committed a half dozen or so felonies and a fellow lawyer is letting her continue to harrass the next President of the United States clearly and predictably to save his little piss ant job.

Once again all current lawyers should pause and take note of WHY polls show the legal profession is regarded by Americans to be the lowest of the low. I used to date a lawyer. I remember even she was shaken by the profession she had entered into. When we got out of the car at a party one night....she looked me in the eye and admonish me strongly not to tell ANYBODY at the party that she was a lawyer.

Apparently this cowardly cuck of an unjust judge is A-OK with the DA openly committing perjury while testifying under oath right there in HIS courtroom.

GOD *hates* the abomination of unjust judges. McAfee will get his due.
