‘Embarrassing Screw-Up’: CNN Legal Expert Rips DA Fani Willis
Conservative Brief ^ | 14 March 2024 | Jon Dougherty

Posted on 03/15/2024 2:38:55 AM PDT by Sam77

CNN’s resident legal expert blasted Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her prosecutors for sloppy work after Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee threw out six charges against former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants.

Expert and former federal prosecutor Elie Honig claimed Willis’ “screw up” led to McAfee’s ruling, calling it an “embarrassing” development for her and her prosecutorial team.

While admitting the case is still “in place,” having the counts dismissed is a “setback.”

So basically, they can only imprison Trump for 200 years instead of 400. What a tragedy. Will democracy survive now?

If Fani Willis and her prosecutors have lost the confidence of CNN, they are on the wrong side of a very slippery slope.

Just because there are the bulk of the made-up charges remaining, does not mean they will not dissolve and melt away like snowdrifts in the spring rainfall.

When the roof falls in, it is pretty spectacular. Being in the wrong place is almost always a surrender to fate.

The choice of words amuses me.
‘While admitting’ ?!
More like ‘while exclaiming breathlessly’
No hope for the so called news.
So tilted

As I understand it, the remaining charges are predicated on the six that were thrown out. Seems to me this case is already dead in the water. But then I’m not a lawyer/persecutor for the derpstate.

Or a biased, Lefty, racially protected, hateful, ignorant State prosecutor either, I'm supposing.

There was no crime! That is unless you count collusion between the DA, the J6 Committee and the White House.

How many others conspirators are they trying to rail road Trump before the election? Talk about election interference,

WHY are we even talking about this?

A damn county DA tries to arrest and imprison the President?

Because she assembles a rabble of partisan weirdos (Emily Kohr, for example) and gets an “indictment” for a phony “conspiracy”?

And depends on her co-racial moron buddy Steve Jones (Here come da judge!) to keep it out of the federal courts where it would be summarily tossed?

This is a FARCE. Even my relatives in Appalachia wouldnt try a stunt like this - no one has! EVER!

WHY do we even give it credence? ALL these people - this wet behind the ears “judge” McAfee, the Negro Gangsta Grrl Fani (aka “gorilla pussy”, her own label), her bang buddy Da Prosecutor and Cruise Ship mate - are a not ready for prime time comedy show.

They weren’t even ready for the level of scrutiny they were subjected to - showing that they have no comprehension of the enormity of what they’ve done. Maybe their White House buddies shoulda told them! But apparently they’re just as clueless.

Buncha low rent gangsta clowns try to hijack the entire country and take us all down to their level of dumbthuggery. Sensible people shouldn’t cooperate with it. Or do anything but laugh at them.

Fani is nothing more than an uneducated smartass. And nobody likes a smartass.

Newt Gingrich himself stated in an interview that an informant in the White House had overheard a phone conversation with a Biden Administration official and Fani Willis herself.

It all took place after a Special Counsel named Weiss was going to uncover the alleged crimes by Hunter Biden.

According to what the informant shared with Mr. Gingrich, the un-named official was practically-demanding towards Fani Willis by saying that She had to file her planned indictment against President Trump to "distract from the :loose cannon" named Weiss.
Even though she said that her prosecution team wasn't ready, the official was bull-headed and practically ordered her to file her indictment against President Trump even though she needed to get the jury members seated to hear the charges.

Case-in-point, this was all an Obama-D.O.J.-led attack against President Trump coming through the White House and using Fulton County as the "cannon fodder".

Don’t dispute it at all.

But of course she was dumb enough to bite.

The result is that ALL of them will be exposed.

Recall they impeached Trump for one recorded phone call with Zelensky to simply inform him of any corruption by US officials in Ukraine. Ordering a damn county prosecutor to persecute, er, prosecute the President is a coupla orders of magnitude worse. Where’s the impeachment charges?

I love your proper use of adjectives and descriptors.

Fani was played by the DC cabal. She will now find out that there is no loyalty toward her. She will be discarded and forgotten by her overlords.

The recent news that she can stay on the case just opens it up to multiple appeals.
