Fani Willis Told to Recuse Herself From Trump Case or Face Jail
Newsweek ^ | Apr 05, 2024 at 6:44 AM EDT | By James Bickerton US News Reporter

One of Donald Trump's co-defendants in his Georgia election interference case has threatened to launch legal action against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis if she "does not recuse herself from this case by noon on Monday."

The Context

Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has pleaded not guilty to a number of charges in Georgia over allegations he broke the law attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election result in the state. This is one of four criminal cases Trump is facing as he makes his bid for a second White House term. Trump has consistently denied all the allegations against him, which he claims are politically motivated.

What We Know

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Harrison Floyd wrote: "I don't want to put a black woman in Jail. But if Fani Willis does not recuse herself from this case by noon on Monday, I may have no other choice than to pursue all lawful remedies. Make Fulton Great Again."

Floyd posted part of an article purportedly from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution suggesting that Willis' office shared a recording of a conversation Willis had with his attorney, Carlos J.R. Salvado, in an unrelated criminal case in Maryland.

Floyd suggested that Willis' office may have violated the Maryland Wiretap Act, under which it is unlawful to record any private in-person conversation or telephone communication unless you are a party to the conversation and have the permission of all of the parties.

While the majority of states have one-party consent laws that allow a conversation to be recorded so long as one person agrees, there are 11 states, including Maryland, that require two-party consent.

Letting he stay in the first place was wrong.. It gave her a sense she could do all that and it was okay.
She should have been removed and law license taken.

But, but, but what if Willis doesn't know the law? Just kidding - Willis thinks she's above the law. If Willis had been white she would have been disbarred weeks ago...

She is also using the call between Trump and Georgia illegally.

Call was recorded from Florida, a two party consent state.

Exactly. The best thing to happen for this country, would be for the press to return to informing the people, instead of shilling for either political party.

Fani is finding out what happens when a person is attacked from all fronts.

Fani will be so busy defending herself that no time will be left for her to prosecute anything.

And Fani will not have time to get herself re-elected.

Willis' office may have exposed a recording with the co-defendant's atty,
that pertained to an unrelated criminal case in Maryland.

<>Trump’s co-defendant demands DA Willis “recuse herself by noon on Monday.”
<>seems Willis may have violated the Maryland Wiretap Act:
<>Act prevents recorded private in-person or phone conversations;needs all parties OK
<>a majority of states have one-party recording consent laws when one person agrees,
<>11 states, including Maryland, require two-party consent.
<>more egregiously, she bases her case against Trump on an illegal recording.
<>his call was recorded from Florida, a two party consent state.

Since every other defendant convicted in her court has had nothing but a perfectly fair and just trial, she should be perfectly safe in genpop...

If a citizen breaks the law his/her fannie needs to go to jail! Period.......

Did you mean to say non-citizens are exempt?

All dims want is a guilty verdict so they can run campaign ads saying Trump was found guilty and is a felon. They don’t care if the cases are thrown out after the election they just want their campaign attack ads.

“I don't want to put a black woman in Jail.” It’s always about race:

Willis’ office may have violated the Maryland Wiretap Act.

Every Trump trial is infested with any shady dealings some known more unknown.

Inquisition members mum.
