After failing to find an attorney willing to take up Fulton County Fani Willis’ troubled 2020 election case, the prosecutor conducting the search for her replacement appointed himself.
The Prosecuting Attorneys Council of Georgia (PACGA) faced a Nov. 14 deadline to select a new attorney or have the case dismissed.
“The filing of this appointment reflects my inability to secure another conflict prosecutor to assume responsibility for this case,” PACGA Executive Director Peter Skanadlakis wrote. “Several prosecutors were contacted and, while all were respectful and professional, each declined the appointment. Out of respect for their privacy and professional discretion, I will not identify those prosecutors or disclose their reasons for declining.”
The Georgia Supreme Court upheld a ruling disqualifying Willis from the case in September.
Defense attorneys first moved to disqualify Willis in January 2024 for hiring her romantic partner, Nathan Wade, to work on the case. They argued she improperly benefited from awarding Wade a lucrative contract when he took her on cruises and vacations.
Willis falsely claimed she paid all the special prosecutors working on the case the same hourly rate, though contracts first reported by the Daily Caller News Foundation revealed she paid Wade a higher rate than the state’s top racketeering expert.
Steve Sadow, Trump’s lead defense counsel in the Georgia case, said “this politically charged prosecution has to come to an end.”
“We remain confident that a fair and impartial review will lead to a dismissal of the case against President Trump,” he said.
Skanadlakis wrote that the “public has a legitimate interest in the outcome of this case.” He indicated he would “complete a comprehensive review and make an informed decision regarding how best to proceed.”
“The decision to assume responsibility for this matter was reached only after careful and deliberate consideration,” he wrote. “While it would have been simple to allow Judge McAfee’s deadline to lapse or to inform the Court that no conflict prosecutor could be secured—thereby allowing the case to be dismissed for want of prosecution—I did not believe that to be the right course of action.”
Well of course not, counselor. This way you get to milk some more billable hours.
Yes and to continue your sick leftist agenda.
The swamp knows. The swamp has a very long memory. The swamp will ruin anything that represents a threat. The Fani Willis and other Trumpean lawfare was run out of the highest levels of the Biden cabal and the Obama cabal, along with the CIA, FBI, DHS, and State.
I wish there were contact information so that taxpayers could weigh in on this outrageous waste of taxpayer money.
Something stinks here. I’ll bet there are hundreds of attorneys who would love to take the case for no other reason than the face time it would afford them. I’m not buying his argument.

Attorneys. Yes. But not Georgia prosecutors. Even if a county prosecutor is anti-Trump, they don’t want the work, hassle, and expense to their office to take on a case of this size and notoriety.
The case is terrible, and should be dropped.
Cant find one lawyer willing to accept their fees paid from Georgia state taxes? Pfft. Theres a lot more to this story.
Fani is a train. She said so.
HER DADDY IS BLACK PANTHER
“Judge officially drops 3 charges in Georgia’s Trump 2020 election interference case”
“Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has officially dropped three charges out of dozens in Georgia’s election interference case against President Trump and others.
On Friday, McAfee ordered that Counts 14, 15, and 27, conspiracy and criminal attempt to file false documents and filing false documents, respectively, should be dismissed. Mr. Trump had been charged with two of the counts, 15 and 27.
McAfee had signaled in September 2024 that he wanted to remove the charges, arguing that they lie beyond the state’s jurisdiction. He was not able to officially drop the charges until the case was remanded to him, which did not happen until Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s disqualification was finalized by the Georgia courts.”
