That’s a nothing burger.

Wade withdraws. Prosecution continues.

Big whoop.

“Big whoop.”

Big whoop? Have you not paid attention. There are convicted criminals on death role on less evidence the defense showed in the hearing. Fani, Wade, and Ward committed multiple counts of perjury. It was proven both Wade and Fani committed financial fraud. There were seven other reasons outside of the affair to disqualify her and the office.

Yet, this coward judge took the easy way out. Not that was much belief in the justice system but he destroyed any remaining belief in the system. He made a mockery of the court system.

Yet a nothing burger... Argh.

If I was a lawyer defending this case, I would immediately look to have Nathan Wade added to my witness list.

I pulled the following excerpt from the judge's ruling:

"...the Court finds that the Defendants failed to meet their burden of proving that the District Attorney acquired an actual conflict of interest in this case through her personal relationship and recurring travels with her lead prosecutor..."

The bold emphasis is mine.

I recall the defense arguing that the standard for dismissal was only the "appearance" of a conflict of interest. They didn't have to prove an "actual" conflict of interest.

I can't believe the judge would make such an error on the law.

There is also the minor problem of perjury that the judge allowed them to skate on.

Let me know if anyone thinks I have this wrong.

Corruption like no other.

That diaper wearing skank is human filth.

Dirty, corrupt, dishonest, nasty, unwanted whore.

“merits of the case”. WHAT MERITS! The whole thing is a ginned up sham to conduct election interference.

Our government SUCKS!

That's what I exactly how I called it from the beginning of this mess even if Fani got whacked. But the judge's reason stinks.

From the decision:
"Disqualification of a prosecutor due to a conflict of interest is thus not a creature of statute somuch as it is a judicial remedy recognized by our appellate courts"

then there's this:
Without sufficient evidence that the District Attorney acquired a personal stake in the prosecution, or that her financial arrangements had any impact on the case, the Defendants’ claims of an actual conflict must be denied. This finding is by no means an indication that the Court condones this tremendous lapse in judgment or the unprofessional manner of the District Attorney’s testimony during the evidentiary hearing

Then this about her speech in the church -how doesn't it taint the jury if they heard about it?:
As best it can divine, under the sole direction of Williams , the Court cannot find that this speech crossed the line to the point where the Defendants have been denied the opportunity for a fundamentally fair trial, or that it requires the District Attorney’s disqualification

I don't know if this is appealable here and now. If so, I'm guessing Pres. Trump appeals this. Otherwise it could be grounds for a claim of reversable error on appeal after the judgement, should it go the prosecution's way.

Or wade says, “he’s not my boyfriend anymore” and keeps everything the same. That’s about how the judge left it.

Much like Comey’s words, “Hillary did a bad thing but no reasonable prosecutor would charge her, so I’m calling it even stevens. Rock on Hillary”

My thoughts exactly. Nothing here. Dimocrat liberal progressive socialist communist judge rules for their side, as ALL of those liberal judges do. No conservative stands a chance with these liberal judges. It is NOT that you are innocent until found guilty, rather you ARE guilty no matter how we decide and you go straight to jail or pay $9 Billion bucks to stay out on appeals, just as with these over massive $$$$ that have been slammed on Trump’s cases.
