Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee has set a March 1 hearing date for final arguments on whether District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified from the election interference case against former President Donald Trump.
The hearing, the result of which could see Ms. Willis replaced with a different prosecutor, is set for 1 p.m., and is expected to be live-streamed, as with most Fulton County proceedings.
Ms. Willis testified before Judge McAfee on Feb. 15–16, where she faced heated questioning over her relationship with top prosecutor Nathan Wade, amid allegations that Ms. Willis benefited financially from the relationship.
Defense attorneys have alleged that Ms. Willis began her romantic relationship with Mr. Wade in 2019, before she hired him for the high-profile Trump prosecution so they could both benefit financially from taxpayer funds. The attorneys have argued that hiring what would have been her boyfriend at the time amounted to a conflict of interest and so she should be disqualified from the case.

“There’s no way the deep state isn’t going to threaten, bribe or cajole the judge on this one.”
No reason to threaten, bribe or cajole him. He is already a Willis donor. It’s a given.
“The donation was $150...I see no conflict with a donation of that size.”
How much did he contribute to her opponent? $1.00 is still a donation.
Apparently, phone records obtained show that the both of them lied under oath.
And I’m kind of confused about she has hoarding and using campaign funds for personal use.
March 1st!!
Can we call it BLACK FRIDAY without being called rayciss?
>> How much did he contribute to her opponent?
He made contributions of similar amount to several Republicans including Kemp (IIRC). For whatever that’s worth.
Judges and magistrates yearly fill out a form on donations and gifts. Yes, $150. is probably being polite, but the defendant might not see it that way. That rascal Trump is gonna claw tooth and nail with those bastards.
As they say, "priceless." That trio of lawyers probably wish they never had cell phones.
>> That rascal Trump is gonna claw tooth and nail with those bastards.
LOL! As he should. Scorched earth! “He may be a rascal, but he’s MY rascal!!!”

A whistleblower from Fani Willis office has contacted us.
I wouldn’t be surprised if their next excuse is to say frequent booty calls does not constitute a relationship. Connecting sex with romance is no doubt a hallmark of white supremacy. As Tina Turner said, “what’s love got to do with it?”
Willis’s opponent was the encumbent DA who had distinguished himself as a scoundrel even in Fulton Co. One of his sins was forcing female employees into sex. (Fani by contrast pays outside counsel for this — so enlightened).
Even in hindsight and with all she has done, Fani Willis still looks like a better choice for DA than her corrupt scumbag opponent. McAfee knew both candidates, and there were no good choices. I of course don’t know, but suspect that Fani or someone in her campaign put the arm on McAfee for a donation, and he coughed up enough to “maintain good relations” (i.e., not be treated like an enemy) with the likely winner.
By this DoJ?
Thanks for the chuckle.
That is the genesis of the perjury line of questioning. Wade's responses in his divorce interrogatories dealt with the dates - and the stories don't line up.

Other than the perjury issue, I don't see the importance of the relationship beginning after the hire and not before.
Either way it was totally unprofessional and unethical. If Fani waited until after the hire to set her cap that is as bad, or worse, than her initiating the intimacy prior to the hire.
It is indefensible for a powerful boss to receive sexual favors from a subordinate. Her control of his half-million dollar salary is the very definition of boss supremacy.
As Kamala would say: “Full stop.”
He wasn’t a judge in 2020. He’s only been a judge for about a year.
This was all before he became a judge.
Just confirm that they had separate rooms on all these trips.
How can she proceed if she has been proven to have committed perjury?
