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.

Also, after the Bush memo “Rathergate” issue blew up, his name became public and he was recognized for spotting the font errors in the memo.

Note the way Wikipedia tries to cast doubt in what Buckhead figured out in this in the second paragraph of the last section...” Memos allegedly from Jerry Killian”

“While the widely publicized rationale of “Buckhead” was technically inaccurate, both related and unrelated serious challenges to the authenticity of the documents nonetheless exist.”

Good post.
Classic FReeper lore.
Look! Someone else remembers that era as well. As I said earlier Powerlineblog (whose writers I believe occasionally lurked or posted here at that time as well) was also involved in making BH’s discovery public. They posted an article today as a reminder.

“Atlanta attorney Harry MacDougald is our old Rathergate friend. He helped us get the ball rolling in “The 61st minute” on the morning of September 9, 2004. Writing under the screen name Buckhead, Harry observed in comment number 47 of Free Republic’s Rathergate thread: “I am saying these documents are forgeries, run through a copier for 15 generations to make them look old. This should be pursued aggressively.” Life has never been quite the same since we took his cue and followed up.”
DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE,
CANNOT BE REFILED.
I remember the day this broke. I was sitting on a bench outside Kaiser Hospital in Woodland Hills, CA. I was so happy!!
MAYBE she can replace Joy Behar.
In a sane world sovereign nations wouldn't be committing suicide by facilitating and sanctioning an invasion by people who hate them.
I’ve been wondering what he’s been up to for years. Thanks for the post!
Buckhead Bump!
True.
in a democrat run world it will be allowed to continue with Willis.
Wow, how cool!
“ She wasn’t too smart, going after the President of the United States, with her kind of history to expose.”
She was anticipating that her white privilege would pull her through.
Meanwhile - remember this?:
Efforts to punish Fani Willis over Trump prosecution are ‘political theater,’ Georgia Gov. Kemp says

I think you’re in the correct track regarding Wade out, Willis stays.
Wow. I did not know that. Buckhead is a legend. And he is adding to that legend right now.
“In a sane world the case is dismissed”
In a sane world, the case would never have been brought. NONE of the cases against Trump would have been brought.
I recall that thread well and commented my thoughts to him.☺
He did an excellent wrap up of the issues in his closing statement.
