ATLANTA — Channel 2 Action News has learned the judge on the election interference case has granted a defense request to allow an appeal of his order that kept the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office in the case.

Channel 2 investigative reporter Mark Winne obtained a copy of the “Certificate of Immediate Review” signed by Judge Scott McAfee, who ruled on Friday that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her office could stay on the case if Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade withdrew, which he did on the same day.

The ruling makes NO SENSE. The ruling itself is evidence the guy was either blackmailed or bribed.

Fat Fani believes she is above the law (well, she is) - b/c of race and gender - as she well pointed out in those loud church speeches.-

Yet she will carry on, entirely without shame - and most likely will be re-elected in a landslide.

The judge has two challengers now - I will not shed a tear if he loses, hopefully in a landslide. He is a disgrace.

Excellent news. The Judge had to decide whether or not to permit the appeal and in doing so he has created big problems for Fanny and the DA's office.

As I understand it, usually defense lawyers have to bundle all their claims for an appeal and submit them at the end of the trial. This is a special situation because Fani has made such a mess of this trial a single issue appeal has been made.

I don't think there's a big problem with not allowing a delay...though I cannot imagine how a trial can proceed while it is concurrently under review by an appellate court.

Fanny is going to get the Guilty verdict according to the schedule provided to her by the White House. The only real question is how will the voters react to it.

It’s called “selective prosecution”. Don’t think for one minute any American citizen is safe from these POS black robe Cabal/cartels. And that includes the Supreme Court justices too! They are an elitist club to themselves. They have extremely powerful tools at their disposal. Oh by the way, while Navarro is spending his first day behind bars, FJB‘s son, cocaine head Hunter has ignored the congressional subpoena. YEP! SELECTIVE PROSECUTION!

No....This is the only way she gets nvestigated. If she left...it would be game over...she'd keep her license...and nothing further would happen to her.

You realize Obama and Kamala are the minds behind this little Willis monster

I think that this ruling is a mixed bag based on manipulation for political concerns.

Not sure how it play out but pretty confident that there are going to a ton of motions filed.

Since the case is not stayed, if I were the defense I would continue to investigate Fani to gather more hard evidence to file a motion for reconsideration that makes crytal clear, beyond any show of a doubt all of the facts that the judge choose to pretend to have doubts on.

What is pretty much for certain, at some point a lot more evidence is going to come out including Fani and Wade’s text and phone records.

Fanni stated under oath that she withdrew campaign funds in cash and stored the cash in her house for personal undocumented uses. That is a criminal act, confessed on the stand while under oath.

My understanding is that this is a Federal felony criminal violation that has sentences of up to five years in prison and fines up to $50k or 1000% of the money involved. Of course, this would only apply if a Republican is accused.

How is this self-confessed crime admitted while under oath not already resulting in an arrest? I know, because she is a DemonicRat on a crusade to “get Trump” on behalf of the deep state.

There are certainly Constitutional issues, you cannot separate that somehow Wade's actions fulfilled removal and Fanny's actions did not, they were equally complicit in attempting to disguise monetary fraud upon Fulton County.

That will come back to haunt McAfee on appeal. He tried to split the baby Solomoronic-style, but should have simply removed Wade himself, not left it up to Wade's co-conspirator, and she was the instigator!

The more I think about it the more I know McAfee was giving Fanny a 'solid' for once having hired him, so he thinks of her as some sort of weary black creature with a hoopdie papa who had 15 minutes of fame 50 years ago who has been pimpin a vaporware memoir / movie script since he done retired in 2018 boo hoo lol.

She committed perjury. Licence or not, she can be charged with that crime. The judge turned his head to the evidence, and did not want to hear other correrberating evidence.

I see it now. She confessed to a crime while under oath. At that instant she was a known criminal and should have been arrested, read her rights, and taken away to incarceration while the case against her was developed.

In the movie “A FEW GOOD MEN” Col. Jessop was being examined by Tom Cruise’s character. Cruise believed that the Col. had called for the “Code Red” which resulted in the death of a lower-rank Marine. Finally, in a move which portrayed giant titanium gonads, Cruise shouted at the Col, “Did you order the Code Red?!” To which Col. Jessop replied, “You’re go%%am right I did!” Instantly Jessop was realized to be guilty, he was arrested on the spot and taken away to to await trial.

The fat lady actually should have been placed under arrest herself the minute she admitted misusing gubmint funds, and be awaiting trial herself. IF we actually had a real, genuine DOJ, rather than the sham, corrupt whorehouse we appear to have in operation now.
