EXCLUSIVE: Judge McAfee talks about upcoming ruling over to remove Willis from Trump case
WSBtv2 ^ | 3/14/24 | staff

Posted on 03/14/2024 6:49:08 PM PDT by CFW

ATLANTA — Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee confirmed to Channel 2 Action News that he will rule on whether to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the state’s RICO case against former president Donald Trump and 14 co-defendants on Friday.

There’s a lot riding on the judge’s decision, including the future of the case, not to mention Willis’ career as a prosecutor.

Channel 2 investigative reporter Mark Winne spoke exclusively to McAfee on the eve of that decision.

“What can you tell us about the timing of your order on the Fulton DA disqualification issue?” Winne asked McAfee.

“I made a promise to everybody. These kind of orders take time to write. I need to say exactly what I want to, and I plan to stick to the timeline I gave everyone,” McAfee said.

“So this week?” Winne asked McAfee.

“Should be out tomorrow,” McAfee said.

Jim Jordan is already threatening her with contempt of Congress charges for refusing to comply with subpoenas for documents related to potential misuse of government grant funds.

i wrote the same thing yesterday...yup...no demonstrations.

Not so much about dumping her...just to make sure he's not trapped by rioters....and get he and his family out of town safely.

It would be nice if the Bar did their thing...perjury is a crime...period.. That's your license.

I hope he throws it out! But that’s asking for maybe too much these days for any kind of Justice if your President Trump the Peoples President for America First!

Good, she deserves that. Let’s just hope we don’t lose the House due to resignations even before the election.

“Somehow I’m thinking that his throwing out some of the charges against Trump is supposed to placate all of us, instead of his doing the right thing based on the evidence against Fani, her lover, and her lover’s lawyer. I hope he proves me wrong, but I have no faith in the injustice system anymore.”


It’s possible.

“does anyone know if the judges decision can be appealed by either side?”


I’m pretty sure it can.

I doubt he'd throw out the whole case.

Perhaps the reason he dismissed the phone call charges is really because he's going to disqualify the Fulton County DA's office and hope that another county DA who picks up the case will choose to dismiss it for lack of foundation due to the dismissed charges.

One thing about it if he rules badly his life and family all the way to friends won’t be worth a plug nickel...Will always be under the watchful eyes of some security...never free again.

I’m sorry I missed that, S.

BUT I THINK IT IS A VERY GOOD CONCLUSION.

I hope he makes the right decision.

The judge will have a lot of people angry with him either way.
I don’t envy him these decisions.

Sure, do the right thing. I wish he’d rebuke her, kick her
off the case, fine her for the salary she gave this unqualified
man, who in essence gave her kick-backs on freebies. I do
not buy into the idea she paid everything back in cash.
Isn’t that an old crime syndicate trick?

It leaves no money trail.

She committed perjury. She admitted to co-mingling
campaign funds with her own personal funds.

Nah, she’s damaged goods. So is he.

And the case should never have been brought.

End it.

“they didn’t drop it...they added to it.”

The article I read says the words were removed but still understood to be important without being mentioned.

If you have the actual text of the mission statement please post.

Judges aren’t supposed to publicly discuss matters pending before them AT ALL.
Major ethical breach to give an interview any time while the case is pending. I can’t imagine what he was thinking

Yep - according to Fani, there are two sets of laws: one for blacks and one for whites.

To have heard of her anti-white training people were supposed to go through was just staggering and a stab through the heart of justice.

NO WHITE PEOPLE CAN GET A FAIR TRIAL UNDER HER.

The three of them combined would barely measure a 90 IQ.

This is a sign that a country is on it’s last days before collapse. When you see incompetent, corrupt, brainless, primitive democrat Pygmy cannibals taking power in all levers of government.

Thanks to the smelly anal fingers of democrat Obama, his savage jungle voodoo tribe is now in control of the entire United States of America. The zenith of America was the day before Obama was elected. It has gone all down hill since and we have not reached bottom. /spit

I think the judge is solid and will rule against Willis and the DAs office. UGA Law grad, Federalist Society, officer in the college Republicans.
