The misconduct hearings on efforts to oust Fulton County DA Fani Willis from the Trump RICO case have come to a close. Both sides delivered final arguments Friday, each arguing where the bar should be set for the judge's looming disqualification decision.
...
Trump defense attorney Steve Sadow said an "appearance of impropriety" is "enough" to disqualify her under Georgia law.
...
Sadow raised rhetorical questions about who has the strongest motive to lie: "Who has the best motive of anyone to lie? They do. Who has the most at stake to lie? They do. Who wants to stay on this case, for whatever the financial reason may be? They do."
He also lambasted Willis for pulling out the race card at a black church in Atlanta where she claimed that Wade is under scrutiny simply because he's "a black man." Colloquially called "the church speech," which was part of a public conversation she had "with God," the Democrat DA's comments injecting race violated the professional rules of conduct, Sadow argued.
It was a "calculated" maneuver, Sadow said, to create "prejudice" in the minds of the jurors. "Can you think of anything more that would heighten public condemnation of the defendant than alleging that the defense counsel and the defendants were making their motion based on race and religion? That's as bad as it gets in Fulton County, with all due respect," Sadow stated.
"Virtually everybody in this community [...] has reviewed and analyzed that speech that she made in a premeditated way," attorney Craig Gillen for Trump co-defendant David Shafer added, accusing Willis of attempting to taint the jury pool.

Willis has clearly tainted any future jury pool and, at a minimum, the trial needs to be moved to another venue.
BTTT
In a sane world the case is dismissed.
Harry MacDougald, the attorney for Clark, who had such a great closing argument yesterday is FR’s “Buckhead” who posted here years ago. Buckhead was the one that uncovered the fake George Bush document in “Rathergate”.
Buckhead is still doing the heavy lifting for justice after all these years.
Literally or figuratively?
She wasn’t too smart, going after the President of the United States, with her kind of history to expose.
WOW!!!
Thanks for letting us old-time Freepers know thhis.
Love it!!
I was so impressed with him yesterday. Who knew he was our Buckhead, the one who broke open the Rathergate scandal?
Wow, those were heady days, he’s a hero!
Dunning Kruger study
Dumb and Dumber.. "Not in a million years". So there is a CHANCE!
Sadow has been the best during hearings, but yesterday he was damn good, but second best. The old guy (don’t know his name and youtube is hiding his questioning) that went over the six reasons to disqualify even without solid evidence (appearance of impropriety). Very convincing.
Oh yeah, interesting. The judge is running for re-election for four years. He has no one running against him now. The deadline to run against him is in two weeks. We won’t hear a decision for at least two weeks. LOL
Fantastic to know! I always wondered what happened to Buckhead. He rose to national prominence 20 years ago and disappeared shortly thereafter.
Final nail in her coffin?
Don’t forget a sturdy apple wood stake through her heart, a rock wedged in her mouth and bury her face down!
Corrupt people have MASSIVE egos
And while they are aware of a moral compass ..they don’t exactly know how it w works.
As they themselves are seriously lacking.
Otherwise...do the right thing .. don’t believe the hype..
Here is the Rathergate thread from Free Republic on 9/9/04.
See post 47.

Then other sites picked up the ball. Powerlineblog was one. And, the rest is history.
👍👍👍👍👍
Wishful thinking, I’m afraid…

That “old guy” was Buckhead of FR fame back years ago.
No kidding!!
