A Georgia judge on Wednesday said Republican U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump and eight of his co-defendants in the state’s criminal election subversion case could appeal a ruling that let lead prosecutor Fani Willis remain on the case.
Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee’s decision cleared the way for the former U.S. president and the others to ask a Georgia state appeals court to consider whether Willis, the Fulton County district attorney, should be disqualified over her romantic relationship with a former deputy, Nathan Wade.
McAfee indicated he would continue addressing other legal issues while the appeals court considers whether to take up the disqualification bid. A trial date has not yet been set.
Absolutely, no matter how careful they were about the relationship, Willis had to know this could create the appearance of impropriety. Which is exactly what the judge ruled and likely any sane judge would have ruled. Willis may as well have asked, “how can I snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?” Because she absolutely found the answer.
Lemmy seems to think otherwise.
While I do enjoy the place, it can be an echo chamber. And you seem to have upset the Indigo Blob.
