On Wednesday, the Georgia Court of Appeals made a decisive move in the racketeering case involving former President Donald Trump. With an official order, the court has halted all proceedings.
It's because of the pending ruling on the defendants' motion to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the case. The appeals court directed Judge Scott McAfee hit the breaks on the case until this matter is resolved.
This decision comes in the wake of concerns surrounding Willis' impartiality. In March, McAfee ruled that despite "a significant appearance of impropriety” due to her romantic involvement with special prosecutor Nathan Wade — which included her giving him preferential treatment including inflated pay, joint vacations, and potential misuse of state funds — Willis could continue her case against Donald Trump and 18 others. The ruling came with the condition that she fire Wade. She didn’t have to; he resigned.
However, McAfee's decision to grant immediate review enabled Trump and eight co-defendants to petition the Georgia Court of Appeals for consideration before trial. On Monday, the Georgia appeals court scheduled oral arguments for Oct. 4 for the disqualification of Willis. Between the scheduling of the disqualification hearing and the pausing of the trial, there’s no way this case will not go to trial before the 2024 presidential election as Democrats had hoped.

fat fani will now have plenty of time to ho herself out
NOW hit her with a Federal Forensic Fiscal Audit of how she spent those $700K of Covid funds, who she got permission from to hire certain personnel with it, etc. and how was it spent?
Shouldn't we confirm that with her lover before putting it in print???
I assume the last line should have read “will go to trial before the 2024 presidential election” rather than “will not go to trial before the 2024 presidential election.”
Dirty Fani belongs in prison.
Take a load off Fani.
Poor editing of the last sentence of the extracted portion of the story above (“no way this will not go to trial before the election”).
“You need a G, I give you a G.”
Take a load fer free.
Watch her cash.
Don’t worry, everything will be just fine, she doesn’t have to give back the Bribe money yet...
We may find out what the golden parachute Kamala offered her was, pretty soon.
No way will I not watch this trial if it ain’t televised.
No way will I not watch this trial if it ain’t televised. Sorry SharpRightTurn I responded to wrong poster.
Ain't not no way will I won't not unwatch this trial not if it ain’t cancelled from not being not televised.
Just thinking about that thang in the sack with Wade was too much for me.
But did, as the headline claims, Fani blow it???
Good one!
