Without explanation, the Georgia Court of Appeals canceled oral arguments over whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified from prosecuting President-elect Donald Trump and his allies on state RICO charges.

Next month, the state's appellate court was scheduled to hear Trump's legal team — as well as lawyers representing his eight remaining co-defendants — argue for the Democrat DA's disqualification after a Fulton County judge allowed Willis to remain in charge of the election interference case (so long as her lover, then-special prosecutor Nathan Wade, stepped aside).

However, roughly two-and-a-half weeks out, the December 5 court date was abruptly dropped in a surprise decision Monday evening. No reason was given for the cancelation, and a statement simply said it's scrapped "until further order of this court."

The one-sentence order shocked some of the attorneys involved in the appeal, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

"It's not something you normally see," said defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant, whose bombshell filing from January was the first to expose the salacious Willis-Wade affair.

"They could reschedule it," she said. "It could mean they don't need to hear oral arguments and can decide it on the merits."

The three-judge panel assigned to the appeal case could have made Monday's move in light of Trump winning the 2024 election. As recent as October 23, the trio of judges, all GOP appointees, agreed to extend the time allotted for oral arguments. Now, it's unclear if the oral arguments will occur at all.

They may be about to decide that the case cannot go forward while Trump is president.

Or they will ask the parties to brief the significance of Trump’s election.

So, she’s not disqualified yet, if I am reading this correctly. Along with the two NY decisions, Trump is still in the crosshairs.

“Not sure what to make of this”

****************

Trump’s DOJ will sort it all out soon. Those engaging in lawfare are about to feel the hammer of justice. :)
