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

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.

She is required “by law” to declare any gifts over $100. She never dreamed someone would look at her (pssst race card).

He won’t be keeping his job, regardless of how he rules. He’s your basic, mild-mannered white guy. His new opponent is a black leftist. In that locale, he doesn’t stand a chance.

i'm thinking he and family are already out of town in a secure location...with a heavy security detail.

I believe it will be released electronically at a time of his choosing.

Clear as mud. Dershowitz thinks the judge is elected and very political, so he’ll probably just remove the boyfriend from the case.

I honestly don’t believe the black community will be upset if she is taken of this case AND disbarred, they know she is a LIAR, MANY in the black community have been arrested for far less!!

Just watching Andrew Napolitano on Newsmax.

The good judge says that, should Willis and Wade be removed, Team B is all set to take over.

Bah Humbug!!

Good. Nothing outrages me more than this case. Hillary Clinton can create a Russia collusion hoax and it gets a 3 year investigation, a special counsel, FBI, and CIA involvement, Congressional hearings, televised hearings, constant claims of “mountains of evidence” when there is no evidence, countless people financially ruined with legal fees, and when it’s exposed as a hoax nobody is held accountable.

Trump on the other hand makes very credible claims the 2020 election was stolen and it’s immediately stomped down, thrown out and not only that, incredibly he’s INDICTED for claiming the election was stolen even indicted for a protest about it!

Unusual for a judge to make ANY comments on an upcoming case....

...isn’t that true, piytar?

Looks like we have two potential affirmative action graduates taking down
our former president. There’s not an ounce of human decency in those
people.

“If appeals are filed, absolutely No Chance this trial gets going before Nov. of 2024...”

Attorney Kenneth Chesebro has already pleaded guilty in the Georgia election interference case involving former President Donald Trump and his allies. His lawyer, Scott Grubman, spoke with CBS News congressional correspondent Nikole Killion about Friday’s ruling that allows District Attorney Fani Willis to stay on the case as long as Nathan Wade steps aside.

True. It is VERY unusual. Frankly also a possible ethics violation. Lawyers have been disbarred and judges have lost their jobs for such.

(Side note: in most states you don't have to be a lawyer or even have any formal training to be a judge.)

🚨 BREAKING: Nathan Wade resigns from the case against Donald Trump in Georgia following the ruling by Judge Scott McAfee


Don’t you know he is celebrating for getting off so lightly for sitting in a witness chair and lying while under oath.

Nathan Wade Resigns
https://x.com/alx/status/1768718540255690916

Megyn Kelly is joined by Alan Dershowitz, author of “Get Trump,” to discuss Judge Scott McAfee’s ruling in the Fani Willis disqualification case allowing Fani Willis to stay but forcing Nathan Wade to leave, how McAfee tried to “split the baby” and have it both ways, and more.
