Fani Willis' Fight to Keep Her Job Is Over (multiple new witness testimonies declined)
Newsweak via MSN ^ | 3/01/24 | Katherine Fung

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' fight to remain on the prosecution in former President Donald Trump's Georgia election interference case is over.

After the end of closing arguments, Judge Scott McAfee, who is presiding over the case, said he would make a decision on disqualifying her within the next two weeks. Trump's attorneys told the judge they had multiple new witness testimonies that had just come to light that morning, but McAfee refused to admit them because the defense hadn't had a chance to examine the evidence.

McAfee signaled to Trump's attorneys that he may not need any more evidence to make his decision on whether or not to disqualify Willis from the case. Trump and his co-defendants in the Fulton County case have pushed to have the district attorney and her office removed from the prosecution over misconduct allegations stemming from her romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade.

"I'd like to hear more of how some of the legal arguments apply to what has already been presented, and it may already be possible for me to make a decision without those needing to be material to that decision," McAfee said.

Willis and Wade's relationship was first revealed in a January court filing from co-defendant Michael Roman's attorney Ashleigh Merchant, who argued that their relationship was a conflict of interest that should lead to Willis' removal from the case and for the charges against her client to be dropped. Willis and Wade have maintained that their relationship did not begin until after Wade's appointment to the case.

That could be. But it’s usually the company’s ad men who decide what models are in which roles.

She perjured herself before the court and admitted to using campaign contributions for personal expenses in her testimony. Both are FELONIES. She made the entire justice system in Georgia look like a joke. She’s got to go.

You bet, they're done!

“It’s getting to be a rarity to see a white person on TV.”

Or a same-race couple.

when the reality is, Kemp has far more power.

Kemp is useless. Here he is last year:

Efforts to punish Fani Willis over Trump prosecution are ‘political theater,’ Georgia Gov. Kemp says

https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-brian-kemp-georgia-indictment-2d3cc1b7f5a63e2c331daed85ee8b2e0

He's getting dragged into this kicking and screaming. He says it's "troubling", "has to be careful what he says" and it's "gotten more political".

"Gotten" more political? It was political from the start. What has changed is the heat on him.

Meanwhile, he's on the MSM every chance he gets to bash Trump. He certainly isn't "careful what he says" there.

Georgia's GOP governor says Trump shouldn't get presidential immunity

The guy is a three-knot wind sock. He'll go where the wind blows.

It’s getting to be a rarity to see a white person on TV.

I gave up TV many years ago and that was just one of the reasons. Today I see it as nothing but a propaganda machine run by the corrupt government, leftist corporations and deep state.

Wow. Watched the whole thing. “Buckhead’s” segment was so good! Pithy. Easy for anyone to understand.

I think the point is that people will not buy clothes from sites that feature only or a majority black models.
I just close a site when I feel like they are playing race games.
I used to buy Lilly Pulitzer for a niece. Now more often than not I just close the tab. Several other brands have also lost my $ as a result of their modeling choices, even faster when they feature the ghetto look. Maybe like bud light decline in sales will talk loudly enough to be heard.

Or a book without a same sex love interest. I dropped a few authors and the TV show Once Upon a Time.

Just my take as a curmudgeonly cynical old fart. Not a gambling man. But I hope you’re right.
