REPORT: Liberal Media Turning on Fani Willis ‘Like Rats Deserting a Sinking Ship’

Despite the fact that Georgia Judge Scott McAfee has ruled that Fani Willis can remain on the Trump case, even though she has been caught in numerous lies, the liberal media knows that she is now damaged goods and they are turning on her.

Talking heads at MSNBC and CNN have already thrown her under the bus.

Willis is used to the fawning coverage that usually comes with being a progressive public figure who is trying to ‘get’ Trump, so this could throw off her game a bit.

The Washington Examiner reports:

The Left turns on Fani Willis after judge finds ‘an odor of mendacity remains’ in her case against Trump

Many of us were demoralized by Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee’s decision on Friday to allow District Attorney Fani Willis to continue prosecuting the RICO case against former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants. McAfee ruled that Willis may carry on as long as she fires ex-lover Nathan Wade, whom she hired as the special prosecutor in the case in November 2021. Wade resigned from the position on Friday…

Despite the outcome, the Left appears to have turned on Willis. Like rats deserting a sinking ship, many in the legacy media are now calling for her to recuse herself from the case. Leading the pack is MSNBC contributor Andrew Weissmann, a rabid partisan best known for his leadership role on special counsel Robert Mueller’s Trump-Russia investigation team. He said, “I think this is such a huge body blow, almost a fatal blow to Fani Willis. I think the way forward is she has to voluntarily recuse herself.” He’s just not sure if she “has it in her.”…

CNN’s chief legal affairs correspondent Paula Reid sees McAfee’s ruling as “really a gift to President Trump and his co-defendants because they’re not only going to fight this case on the merits, they’ll fight it in the court of public opinion. Optics here matter.”

Over at the conservative commentary site The Federalist, they’re saying it’s time to indict Willis for perjury:

It’s Time For Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp And His AG To Indict Fani Willis For Perjury

I’m glad to see Trump appealing Judge McAfee’s decision today to only remove Wade from the case. Many felt he shouldn’t do that, and instead approach it politically and leave Willis blowing in the wind, but appealing gives a better chance to end it once and for all, and it leaves her blowing in the wind anyway.

The issue is always the revolution. Willis is no longer useful to the revolution.

But what about the narrative that strong black women are taking Trump down?

It would appear that they can only appeal with the trial judge's permission. Otherwise, it would become a petition for a prerogative write of mandamus or prohibition.

If she doesn’t lose her license to practice law after she lied under oath in a court of law then the law is permanently broken.

That might have worked if they hadn't selected an inbred black Hippo with a 60 IQ and a craving for hot black lovin'.

She can probably hit up sugar daddy, Georgie “Der kleine Führer” Soros, for a few bucks if times get tough.

An important point, indeed, but as the judge already stated he would approve the prosecution’s right to appeal his ruling to reduce the number of charges, he would look quite hypocritical to now deny Trump’s right to appeal, albeit on a different matter.

Some have even opined that McAfee’s ruling was so damning of both Willis and Wade, he was practically begging for Trump to appeal the suspension of only one of the two, but leaving the dirty work of axing them both to the appeals court. I don’t know if that was his intent, but if it was, this is exactly how you would do it.

Though Fanny may be “innocent until proven guilty”, scores of millions of us WATCHED her openly and repeatedly commit perjury on national TV. That simply cannot be denied. If nothing else, President Trump can simply delay the trial until after the election with appeals of anything that keeps her in any way involved with the case.

One of the phrases that must always be spoken in a Prussian accent:

"You are no longer useful to us."

She profited off her persecution (prosecution) of President Trump using COVID funds. Wade was Bo for the Ho fall guy. /fed up American.
