That nod from Willis regarding any future guilty pleas comes with "the obvious implication" that the "'price' of a plea deal has gone up for defendants who sought to disqualify" her, former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti said on X.
Fleischman noted that remark in particular appears to butt up against a Georgia prosecutorial ethics rule that forbids prosecutors from "making extrajudicial comments that have a substantial likelihood of heightening public condemnation of the accused."
"Saying that the 'train is coming' and implying that the defendants will now get less favorable plea deals because of a motion that was filed seems like it is meant to heighten condemnation of the accused," he said.
Even then, Fleischman and Cunningham agreed that Willis' Saturday comments aren't likely to "have any effect" on the future of the case.
The statements do, however, increase the likelihood of the court granting a gag order on the district attorney if one is requested, Fleischman added. "On the other hand, the defense may prefer that she keep talking, and may ask to submit clips of her interviews as evidence at trial."
Willis' office also still faces the potential legal hurdle posed by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, who oversees the criminal case, granting requests from Trump and his co-defendants last Wednesday to appeal his decision allowing Willis to remain on the case if Wade stepped down, according to CNN.
The Georgia Court of Appeals has up to 45 days after the filing date to determine whether it will hear the case. The defendants have argued that the romantic relationship between Willis and Wade created a conflict of interest that should lead to both prosecutors' disqualification.
The appellate court seems less likely to take up the appeal than McAfee was in granting the certificates of immediate...

The Fani train.
Fat Fanny has sown the seeds of her on destruction. Her legal career seems to be toast!
You don’t have to be any kinda expert to see that......I’m a dumbass and I saw it right off.
In light of that judge having donated to willis campaign.....shoulda recused himself
Her speech at Big Bethel AME church was loaded with such apocalyptic language.
As an aside, Fani might also consider that reality itself is guilty of systemic racism (merely because it doesn't cater to her demands).
In fact, God himself might be racist by Fani's definition.
Sorry. It is Fulton County after all.
The case for corruption at the Fulton County Jail, a deplorable third world sh!t hole run by Willis, is Exhibit “A” as to what the citizens will accept just to have the right skin color on the right office.
That bovine skank must be removed from office. She is drunk with power and very dangerous. This one, the one in NY, they are both the same with the same agenda.
Just Wondering: Can Trump’s team call Fani Willis to testify in the upcoming trial? It seems like that could shed a lot of light on a number of matters.
She’s dumber than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. Obviously hell bent on keeping Pres. Trump off the ballot, because she is a far left liberal racist bitch. She should have been not only been admonished, but disbarred and fined.
If I were them, I’d jump at any opportunity to get her on the stand. She’s so narcissistic she can’t stop talking, and everything that comes out of her mouth is a gift for the defense.

To ask America’s judicial system for anything you must have clean hands. Period.
Biden won over 90% of the vote in most of Atlanta. The jurors will have all decided to convict Trump before they are even picked for the jury. Most will be eager to be on the jury so they can brag to their friends how they convicted Trump and maybe even get paid to be on TV.
NO sympathy from me.
She is a disgrace
