A Georgia appeals court has set a December hearing for arguments on the appeal of a lower court ruling allowing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis Get info without leaving the page.
to continue to prosecute the election interference case she brought against former President Donald Trump.
Trump and other defendants had asked the Georgia Court of Appeals to hold oral arguments in the case, and the court on Tuesday set those arguments for Dec. 5. That timing means the lower court proceedings against Trump, which are on hold while the appeal is pending, will not resume before the November general election, when Trump will be the Republican nominee for president.
The appeal is to be decided by a three-judge panel of the intermediate appeals court, which will then have until mid-March to rule. The judges assigned to the case are Trenton Brown, Todd Markle and Benjamin Land. Once the panel rules, the losing side could ask the Georgia Supreme Court to consider an appeal.
A Fulton County grand jury last August indicted Trump and 18 others, accusing them participating in a sprawling scheme to illegally try to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. Four defendants have pleaded guilty after reaching deals with prosecutors, but Trump and the others have pleaded not guilty.
The case is one of four criminal cases brought against Trump, which have all seen favorable developments for the former president recently.

NOT tired of winning.
Since the left is talking about healing and toning it down...they should dismiss the NY case and drop this case.
Or is that toning it down rhetoric only apply to the GOP.
Their assassin missed, so the Democrat Party is going to ramp up the kangaroo courts again.
Nor am I.
If I recall its not the immunity case, but another case that makes Merchins process of a non-unanimous guilty verdict across several charges that sum up to twelve when combined as unconstitutional.
They are every bit as corrupt as the courts in NY. It would take an act of God to clean them up.
OK, here’s an article tying the immunity ruling and the New York case.
There was so much wrong with Merchins Kangaroo court, I wouldnt be surprised the immunity thing plays a part too. I had just read from other lawyer freepers here that the jury instructions about not having to find him guilty by unanimity of each charge, but just any combination of charges, was egregious and unconstitutional. It may also have to do with tying the state charges to a federal crime charge. The statute of limits had run out but the charges had to due with things that predated his 2016 election so I dont think immunity applied here, as it did in the DC/J6 charges.
"I needs me cash and spunk"
A lot of the evidence and testimony that Judge Merchan allowed was objected to by Trumps Lawyers as inadmissible due to Presidential Immunity.
The Supreme Court explicitly ruled that evidence related to official acts was subject to presidential immunity and inadmissible in court
This immunity barred evidence and witness testimony is so intertwined with the rest of the prosecutions case that it cannot be unwound
The case must be dismissed
Got it, Thanks.

The left talks about healing and toning it down, but its all just talk. They have no intention of doing it.
Actually the charges were based on how an expense was posted in 2017.
No one pretends that the alleged sex was a crime or the payment for nondisclosure.
Their whole crime is that Trump misclassified the expense as a legal expense. His accountant classified it that way because it was paid to a lawyer as part of a bill for many legal services and testified in detail that he had not consulted with Donald Trump about the bill but had handled it like any other bill from Cohen. Cohen was still doing ongoing work for Trump at that time and there were monthly bills.
That was in 2017.
Trump and the accountant state that Trump had no idea about the way the account entries were logged and it is hard to see what other classification could have been selected.
DOJ says it was classified that way to bury it to avoid negative publicity affecting the election. Of course the election was over. The release of records by the FEC doesn’t occur until way after the election so there was no way it could have affected the election.
Thanks
Fanny done messed up. Once Trump cleans out the corrupt rotten core at the FBI, I suspect there will be Federal investigations of that corrupt bitch Fanni Willis.
Should have left him alone. I suspect Alvin Bragg also has some criminal activity going on in his life.
I want to see them both in prison, along with the corrupt judges colluding with them.
I think Biden has already answered that question.
1. Trump was NOT running his businesses in 2017. His kids were. THE CHECKS were signed electronically.
2. I have done accounting/bookkeeping since 1957-—am 84.
3. I would have posted a legal bill as such any time...especially when that same lawyer had done lots of prior work for me. AS I understand-— COHEN did NOT ITEMIZE any of his invoices—like you get at Home Depot, etc.
PICKING APART every invoice is called “TRYING TO PICK THE FLY CRAP OUT OF THE BLACK PEPPER” in Accounting.
Thank you for additional detail and some very cogent points.
This was a corrupt political prosecution. There is a good chance it will fall apart with the requirement of a hearing to establish Presidential immunity and the elimination of much of the prosecutions case. This hearing is mandated by the SC ruling.
Material subject to Presidential immunity was included in testimony elicited in court by the prosecutors. The defense objected before the material was presented which allows the defense to push for a remedy now that their objections have been vindicated. If the material covered by immunity is deemed sufficient to potentially change the verdict if removed or to have hampered a proper defense the only remedy is to set aside the verdict.
