FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - The Georgia Court of Appeals is set to review Judge Scott McAfee’s decision to deny a motion to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the high-profile election interference case involving former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants.
The motion, filed in January by Trump’s co-defendant and former White House staffer Michael Roman, sought to disqualify Willis due to an alleged improper relationship with former Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade. Roman’s motion also claimed that Willis financially benefited from the investigation and her connection with Wade.
[snip]
The Georgia Court of Appeals will not hear new evidence but will review previously presented materials to determine if McAfee’s ruling to keep Willis on the case was appropriate. The losing party will have the option to appeal to the Georgia Supreme Court, potentially further delaying the case from proceeding to trial.
Trump and 18 of his allies were indicted in August 2023 for allegedly interfering in Georgia’s 2020 presidential election. While four co-defendants have reached plea deals, Trump and the remaining defendants have pleaded not guilty. Arguments before the appeals court are scheduled for tomorrow.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
I don't know if there will be live streaming of this argument. If there is and I can find a link, I will post it here tomorrow morning.

So all of the Trump lawfare cases seem to be ratcheting up again with about 30+ days out from the election. Just a coincidence I guess.

2 assassination attempts failed, so back to lawfare.

DEMs: "We *had* to steal the election because Trump is a criminal."
No sarcasm tag.

Roman’s motion also claimed that Willis financially benefited from the investigation and her connection with Wade.
If that's the "bar", she's gone. Of course she financially benefitted, the boyfriend was paying for extensive travel for her with his new found "job"

Yet again: how is it that any county prosecutor can just decide to charge the President when they don’t like what he’s doing?
As far as “grand jury indictment”, that’s a joke. We all know about indicting the ham sandwich. A prosecutor can pull together a bunch of bums off the streets, hand them some per diem and get any kind of indictment needed.
In the case of Willis, she found a deranged child with wild eyes to be the jury foreman, who then admitted on national tv that she voted to indict Trump on political grounds. That alone should have resulted in the entire matter being dropped and a state level investigation of the grand jury selection should have been conducted.
The Presidency is not supposed to be omnipotent but it’s also not supposed to be subordinate to municipal lawfare. That’s ONE of the reasons Presidential immunity exists.

RE: Just a coincidence I guess.
In the Magic Christian, Ringo Starr and Peter Sellers find a ticket on their parked car. Starr first wonders if it’s really an “advert” but then they see it isn’t. As a policeman approaches.
Starr: Could be routine.
Sellers: Could be. Or it could be mere damnable harrassment.

She should have been gone the day they found out about this “relationship”.
Why do the wheels of justice turn so very slowly in this country? Everyone knows what a weak, fraudulent case this is.
