Fani Willis now has a Republican challenger in the race for Fulton County District Attorney.
Courtney Kramer is an Alpharetta attorney and former intern in the Trump White House. She told Channel 2′s Richard Elliot that Willis was wrong in prosecuting the former president.
Channel 2 Action News was at the State Capitol Friday as Kramer qualified to run against Willis.
“I think the moment she decided to indict President Trump and 19 other defendants was the moment I said I had had enough,” Kramer said.

According to the article, the primary election is May 12.
Fani gets spanked?
Sounds good. I hope they get Kramer in there and she can give a certain DA the political colonoscopy that’s due.
The fix is in, and he will not. I repeat, will not disqualify fani ass!! Trump is screwed!
Yeh but the Georgia State Senate is involved now and that is tomato red she’s on borrowed time
Love the headline verb tense. Ebonics.

Woops, my goof :)
P
Why not ???
He cant very well not disqualify her...
It would seem very strange if he didnt...
Its CYA time for the judge
Imho this is the long term political calculus for mcafee:
1. Mcafee DQs Fani: then he alienates the black vote which is dominant in Fulton county but not in any other Georgia county— so he can probably find another judgeship somewhere else
2. Mcafee lets Fani skate: he is still not black, so his career as a liberal judge is very limited, while he has alienated non-blacks and conservatives. With his background in the federalist society, plus the fact that he is white, blacks will never really trust him.
So as I see it, Option 2 burns all of mcafee’s political bridges. So by his apparent nature he should be inclined towards option 1. However, if the deep state sees it the same way, and it is important enough to them, especially if the other trump cases get torpedoed, they will recognize that using a stick with him would probably yield more reliable results than a carrot. I might be missing something.
According to some reports, Kemp apparently implies that he would sign the revised Georgia ethics bill soon. Without his signature, mcafee cannot kick the can to the ethics board. Kemp imho seems to be playing political chicken with mcafee on the Fani corruption issue…
Perhaps (standard disclaimer here) another McAfee might have is that he could refer a miscreant Fani and/or Wade to the state DA office for prosecution.
One question is what are the tradeoffs involved in McAfee referring miscreants to the (future fully enabled) state ethics board in contrast to the state DA office?
She’s white. Her chances of winning an election in Fulton County are nil.
If for some reason Fani is disbarred and cannot run for DA in the upcoming election, Courtney Kramer could theoretically win by being the only candidate.
