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.”
Somehow she has his balls in a bag. Or he is afraid of loud scary black people.
“I wonder when McAfee is up for re election”
McAfee is up for re-election this year, as I understand it.
Total cowardice.
Full circle...
She lied about sex. Where have we heard this before?
Bill Clinton
None of this matters. Fanny is untouchable and will move rapidly to get a Trump conviction before Election Day.
If he’s up for election this year then he probably had to pay up for his spot on the rigged ballots
No. The newly formed Prosecuting Attorneys Qualifications Commission can. A lot of Georgia lawmakers are calling for just such an action.
Eff this garbage country we live in.
**************
Wrong.
The first three words of the U.S. Constitution are WE THE PEOPLE and it is OUR job to fix this mess. That might mean breaking a few eggs but so what?
We are not required to obey the commands of thieves, cheats and brigands just because they call themselves our “leaders”. We are Americans first and foremost.
It was like a judge telling Bonnie and Clyde to stop robbing banks but with no consequences for the prior robberies.
The state legislature and governor should intervene.
That was my take also.
GA gov Brian Kemp is a RINO Trump hater. He will do nothing to help Trump; he'll do just the opposite.
You can not enter new evidence in an appeal.
He was not elected. He was appointed.
ONLY to fill out a term.
There WiLL be an election soon.
Yes. He will probably lose.
