Appeals court disqualifies DA Fani Willis from prosecuting Trump Georgia case
NBC News ^ | December 19, 2001 | Staff

Posted on 12/19/2024 7:53:11 AM PST by Red Badger

The court sided with several of Trump's co-defendants, who accused Willis of having a conflict of interest.

A Georgia appellate court Thursday disqualified Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and removed her from prosecuting Donald Trump and co-defendants in a case she brought over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

The decision is likely to cripple the case and bring a halt to the efforts to try Trump and his allies for their efforts to overturn his loss. Federal prosecutors have already dropped Trump's federal criminal case related to the 2020 election in the wake of his winning the presidency.

"After carefully considering the trial court’s findings in its order, we conclude that it erred by failing to disqualify DA Willis and her office," the court said, referring to an earlier ruling that allowed Willis to remain on the case. Willis had been under scrutiny over her relationship with a special prosecutor on the case, Nathan Wade. Trump and other co-defendants had requested to have Willis removed from the case.

Trump's team and the DA's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The court did not go so far as to completely dismiss the case, and Georgia law allows for the case to be assigned to a different county prosecutor in the state. But legal experts have said that is likely to be a difficult task given the complicated, political and novel nature of the case brought by Willis.

If the makeup of that Georgia appeals court is mainly that of white in color, big Fani will be screaming racism in 3....2....1...

Time for Brian Kemp or the AG of Georgia to intervene for the state’s sake, if nothing else. Because Georgia is looking more & more like an incompetent backwoods mess.

It's over, another one bites the dust. Leaving the Merchan case as the last to get overturned.

Fani Willis is such an ignorant individual. Politicans glory in eating, drinking, and having sex on the taxpayer dime, but she was too stupid to hide it.

"...trial court’s findings in its order, we conclude that it erred by failing to disqualify DA Willis and her office..."

Excellent. That at least raises the possibility that another jurisdiction's DA will be able to step in and throw out the entire case since they shouldn't be beholden to Fanni and her fanatics.

Had Trump lost the election, he’d be in jail right now.

Per AI

Trump faces multiple criminal cases that could potentially lead to prison time if he loses the election.

These cases are in New York, Georgia, Florida, and Washington, D.C.

If Trump is defeated, he could face sentencing in federal cases, where he would likely be taken into custody upon sentencing rather than remaining free during the appeal process.

The timeline for potential legal proceedings against Trump could range from one year to several years.

The only person that might be able to try to do something with the case, who has the oomph of a big county DA’s office behind her, would be Sherry Boston, the DA of DeKalb County. And I think she’s smarter than to take on something as stupid as this case of Fani’s.
