Trump Lawyers Put Final Nails in Fani Willis's Coffin [Freeper Buckhead]
Townhall ^ | Mia Cathell

Posted on 03/02/2024 6:41:57 AM PST by RoosterRedux

The misconduct hearings on efforts to oust Fulton County DA Fani Willis from the Trump RICO case have come to a close. Both sides delivered final arguments Friday, each arguing where the bar should be set for the judge's looming disqualification decision.

...

Trump defense attorney Steve Sadow said an "appearance of impropriety" is "enough" to disqualify her under Georgia law.

...

Sadow raised rhetorical questions about who has the strongest motive to lie: "Who has the best motive of anyone to lie? They do. Who has the most at stake to lie? They do. Who wants to stay on this case, for whatever the financial reason may be? They do."

He also lambasted Willis for pulling out the race card at a black church in Atlanta where she claimed that Wade is under scrutiny simply because he's "a black man." Colloquially called "the church speech," which was part of a public conversation she had "with God," the Democrat DA's comments injecting race violated the professional rules of conduct, Sadow argued.

It was a "calculated" maneuver, Sadow said, to create "prejudice" in the minds of the jurors. "Can you think of anything more that would heighten public condemnation of the defendant than alleging that the defense counsel and the defendants were making their motion based on race and religion? That's as bad as it gets in Fulton County, with all due respect," Sadow stated.

"Virtually everybody in this community [...] has reviewed and analyzed that speech that she made in a premeditated way," attorney Craig Gillen for Trump co-defendant David Shafer added, accusing Willis of attempting to taint the jury pool.

If I were a Biden stooge that had any kind of influence over the outcome I would force the judge to exonerate Wade and Willis and allow them to continue to prosecute Trump. The Deep State wants catastrophic chaos and upheaval. The rule of law and civil society has left the building…

It has been more than eight years since Buckhead posted here, at least under that username.
Given what he is doing today, perhaps he needs a little distance from that notoriety.

Both these tacky lowlifes need to be disbarred.

Harry MacDougald, the attorney for Clark, who had such a great closing argument yesterday is FR’s “Buckhead” who posted here years ago. Buckhead was the one that uncovered the fake George Bush document in “Rathergate”.

Still doing the heavy lifting - you're right CFW...thanks for sharing. ;

Harry McDougald's closing argument made it clear that there's more than enough solid evidence to disqualify Fani et al (and perhaps even dismiss the case).

It all comes down to the Judge now...and it looks like Judge McAfee doesn't have much of a choice but to disqualify Fani and her entire office.

Wishful thinking, I’m afraid…

Fulton county has a deep bench of TDS replacements if Fanny is removed. "We have a lot of work invested in this case." Timing is critical because of the pending elections.

Here is the Rathergate thread from Free Republic on 9/9/04.

It's nostalgic to go back to those old threads then click on the participants to see who are gone and who are still with us.

“Most people aren’t very smart. and stupid people all overestimate their IQ’s.”

You can see this all over internet. We call this clown world. iPhones and other smart phones killed the internet and lead to the rise in Facebook and other social media. These phones being user friendly enough computers for dummies.

Bing AI using FR as a source———>>>>>

Harry MacDougald, an attorney, has been making waves in legal proceedings. Recently, he represented Trump co-defendant Jeffrey Clark and delivered a compelling closing argument1. Interestingly, MacDougald is also known as “Buckhead” on the Free Republic forum, where he has actively contributed over the years. Notably, Buckhead was the individual who exposed the fake George Bush document during the infamous “Rathergate” incident. It’s impressive to see him continue to champion justice and contribute significantly to legal matters2.

I remember being on those threads. There were so many ways and so many lines of argument that showed the document was bogus. It wasn’t even for the appropriate time of year.

And Rather held on until the bitter end.

Buckhead is still doing the heavy lifting for justice after all these years.”

I was soooo impressed with that attorney’s closing arguments... that I thought, who was that ‘masked man’ hero? Now I know. It was the infamous Buckhead. This is quite a pleasing revelation! Wonders never cease to amaze.
