GA judge just gave Trump a legal “wink and a nod”… now, it all makes sense…

President Trump just notched a legal win that may shed some light on the bizarre decision made by the judge in the Big Fani dismissal case. In a moment that felt suggestive in a “wink and a nod” kind of way, Judge McAfee not only granted Trump a substantial triumph but also opened the door for rectifying his own unjust ruling by approving Trump’s appeal request in Georgia. It appears as if McAfee wanted to wash his hands clean and defer to a higher court, almost as if he was encouraging Trump’s team to seek an appeal and give Big Fani the bum rush right out the door.

The New York Post:

Donald Trump won a legal victory in the Georgia election fraud case against him Wednesday, when a judge granted him the right to appeal his ruling allowing District Attorney Fani Willis to stay on the case.

Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee granted the former president’s motion seeking an immediate review by Georgia’s Court of Appeals of his bombshell ruling on Friday allowing the embattled DA to continue prosecuting the case, despite her affair with lead prosecutor Nathan Wade.

Trump and seven other co-defendants seeking to boot Willis did not have an automatic right to appeal before the start of a trial.

However, McAfee granted the rare measure, citing the importance of the case — which has potentially huge implications for the expected Republican presidential nominee.

Trump lawyer Steve Sadow called McAfee’s Wednesday decision “highly significant” and added he’s hopeful the appeal will win.

“The defense is optimistic that appellate review will lead to the case being dismissed and the DA being disqualified,” he added.

Attorney and Town Hall contributor Phil Holloway had this to say about the ruling:

Judge grants “certificate of immediate review” in the #FaniWillis disqualification motion

This means the Court of Appeals has to also approve, but it’s likely to be allowed

The issue is too important

a nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse

[wiseprince]

So they openly steal Trump Tower and idiot Repukes are still giving winks and nods. Country is in trouble

[Fledermaus]

Pitiful excuse for a human. Cowardly POS judge.

I hope nothing but pain and suffering for him and his entire family.

Are Willis’ attorneys appealing also?

As in, petitioning the Appellate court to allow the boyfriend who precipitously resigned after MacAfee’s ruling to be reinstated as the lead RICO prosecutor at trial, “under” Willis?

[Macho MAGA Man]

(a “wink and a nod”)?

Say no more! Say nooo mooorre!!!

[Sacajaweau]

Be patient...this will work out...

Obama and Kamala will tell our little tramp DA to resign...and nothing will happen to her. She can still run for office, keep her license and still ping her partner in crime in the middle of the night.

If she stays...she's gonna get nailed.

[sjmjax]

Yes, cowardly indeed.

I can’t imagine what the attorney fees are in dealing with this malicious lawfare.

They’re letting the judge off the hook for NOT following the law and allowing a miscarriage of justice because he winked and nodded?

Oh in that case......

The spin here is polly-anish. The judge MAY have tried to divide the child down the middle, but the GA law says he erred. By granting immediate appeal, the Judge may divorce himself from the aftermath of dismissing Fani from the case, or he may have doomed his jurist career to the backwaters of Georgia.

In my non-attorney opinion, the Judge should have dismissed both Fani (and her office) *and* Wade. That would have meant that some other jurisdiction in GA would have to take over by first eveluating the basis of the case, and second by reinvestigating the data brought together by the tainted Fulton county DA’s office.

THAT would have likely dismissed the case, IMHO.

I HATE typos - yet I persist in making them! LOL

Well, it buys time. The Appelate Court has to schedule a hearing. Then they could rule quickly, or drag their feet on a decision. That could work either for or against Trump. They could hold off on a decision until November, or issue a ruling in July/September that forces Trump into a trial during the last stretch of campaign season.

the judge didnt want to be the one to fire Fani’s ass because he was afraid that she would get revenge on him for doing so, so he’s letting someone else do the honors instead smart move

[Sequoyah101]

Seems to me there is no place in the legal system for politics since it is a built in conflict of interest. But there you have it. Politics and a cowardly judge Twisting things to look the hero.

[RoosterRedux]

Phil Holloway (the Georgia lawyer cited in the article) seemed to imply the other day that it is quite possible that Fanny threatened the Judge (directly or indirectly).

She is more powerful than nearly anyone else in Fulton County because of her control of the black political machine.

That's who she was speaking to in her Big Bethel AME Church "lecture" a few weeks back.

If Fanny wants to, she can destroy the Judge's career. And that may be just what she has planned.

This power is at the root of Fani's arrogant behavior. She believed that she was/is untouchable and, as everyone has seen, she believed she could do damn well as she pleased.

[RoosterRedux]

Phil Holloway said on Fox earlier today that the appellate court isn't going to be worried about the politics of this case the way Judge McAfee would be. They aren't going to be afraid of Fani or Fulton County politics.

Things don't look good for Fanny.

Toss in Blinken and you would have Winken, Blinken, and Nod.

[cnsmom]

Send GA all the newcomers they can handle then flush

[roving]

He wants someone else to decide because his election is coming up. That’s all it is.
