Reactions from Georgia lawmakers poured in on Friday after a judge ruled that embattled Fulton County DA Fani Willis could remain on the case investigating alleged election interference by former President Donald Trump.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee issued a ruling Friday that Willis, who was accused of an improper romantic relationship that she attempted to cover up with special counsel Nathan Wade, could remain on the case if she fired Wade which prompted pushback from Georgia Republicans.
"The ruling by Judge McAfee seems to clearly identify impropriety between the DA and Mr. Wade," Georgia Republican State Rep. Josh Bonner told Fox News Digital. "Unfortunately, it does not address the purely partisan nature of the case brought by a rogue District Attorney more interested in scoring political points than prosecuting criminals in Fulton County."
"Judge McAfee clearly found significant impropriety between Fani Willis and Nathan Wade," Georgia Republican Lt. Gov Burt Jones told Fox News Digital. "If Fani Willis acted in the best interest of her constituents, she would resign immediately, but we know her inflated sense of self won’t allow that to happen. Regardless, the Georgia Senate investigatory committee will continue its work on behalf of the Georgia taxpayer to hold her accountable."
Georgia Republican State Senator Jason Anavitarte told Fox News Digital it is "indisputable" that Willis "willfully concealed" her relationship with Wade.
"Rather than owning up to the relationship, admitting poor judgement and removing SADA Wade from this case as soon as it was revealed, DA Willis doubled down and spent the better part of 3 months continuing to obfuscate if not downright lie to the court," Anavitarte said.

There was no way that judge was ever going to boot her.
Not in Fulton County.
Remember, federal and state investigations of Fani Willis
are far from over and are enough to get her disbarred:
<><>she still needs to explain her tax-paid meetings at the White House
<><>her contacts with Jack Smith,
<><>her contacts w/ the J6 committee Trump haters,
<><>Pete from Shawnee Mission insightfully adds:
<><>She leaked grand jury testimony to Michael Isakoff for his book.
<><>she had hold of an illegally recorded conversation
<><>she made this illegality one of the pillars of the Trump case
<><>a GA County DA cannot immunize someones testimony over a violation of FL state law.
<><>a DA poisoning the Jury Pool is unheard of
<><>and she went to church to do the poisoning.
There is no way the judge came up with that decision without outside influence, either a bribe or a threat. Trying to explain it otherwise is a waste of time.
It has become pathetic what our justice system has become, if you don’t have the courage to be a judge then get the HELL OFF THE BENCH!! A district attorney committed perjury on the stand in a VERY high profile case AND nothing happens to her!! Well don’t expect everyday citizens to care about lying under oath any longer either!! This judge is a disgrace and a coward!!
Can the Governor intervene and remove her stupid ass?
Judge is a stupid Trump hating coward.
Fani’s continued presence probably helps us.
After listening to the session they had with Ashley Merchant
I had a feeling they weren’t going to let it go at this.
This simp judge worked for fat fanni and contributed to her political campaign. Why the F is he the one making the decision? The entire system is so broken and corrupt. Just send the smod already.
Not if he didn’t want his houses burned down.
Bump
I hear donations are being taken. It’s called the FaniPAC.
Gosh, I wonder why no judges in the counties where The 2020 Cheat happened saw any evidence of vote fraud or ballot fraud...
Eff this garbage country we live in.
The judge’s said that there’s an appearance of impropriety but no impropriety was proved. Therefore, his ruling was, in effect, that it was enough to put an end to that appearance GOING FORWARD.
This is logical gibberish.
But he’ll almost certainly pay no price for it so I guess it’s fine. /extreme sarcasm
It could also have been blackmail!
Get the cell phone texts, over 10 K messages,and then follow the evidence right to Washington and New York to reveal the RICO lawfare against Trump.
Heads should roll for this synchronized law fare against Trump, managed from the White Hut.
Maybe the Georgia lawmakers have the hutzpa, we’ll see.
Cute.
Ha ha ha. Governor Kemp ? You’ve got to be kidding.
