Fani Willis Disqualification Hearing Suddenly Canceled
Townhall.com ^ | 11/19/2024 | Mia Cathell

Posted on 11/19/2024 11:16:25 AM PST by Michael.SF.

Without explanation, the Georgia Court of Appeals canceled oral arguments over whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified from prosecuting President-elect Donald Trump and his allies on state RICO charges.

Next month, the state's appellate court was scheduled to hear Trump's legal team — as well as lawyers representing his eight remaining co-defendants — argue for the Democrat DA's disqualification after a Fulton County judge allowed Willis to remain in charge of the election interference case (so long as her lover, then-special prosecutor Nathan Wade, stepped aside).

However, roughly two-and-a-half weeks out, the December 5 court date was abruptly dropped in a surprise decision Monday evening. No reason was given for the cancelation, and a statement simply said it's scrapped "until further order of this court."

The one-sentence order shocked some of the attorneys involved in the appeal, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

"It's not something you normally see," said defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant, whose bombshell filing from January was the first to expose the salacious Willis-Wade affair.

"They could reschedule it," she said. "It could mean they don't need to hear oral arguments and can decide it on the merits."

The three-judge panel assigned to the appeal case could have made Monday's move in light of Trump winning the 2024 election. As recent as October 23, the trio of judges, all GOP appointees, agreed to extend the time allotted for oral arguments. Now, it's unclear if the oral arguments will occur at all.

They may be about to decide that the case cannot go forward while Trump is president.

Or they will ask the parties to brief the significance of Trump’s election.

So, she’s not disqualified yet, if I am reading this correctly. Along with the two NY decisions, Trump is still in the crosshairs.

“Not sure what to make of this”

****************

Trump’s DOJ will sort it all out soon. Those engaging in lawfare are about to feel the hammer of justice. :)

All the cases need to end and not because Trump was elected.

It appears Marchan in NY is about to put the case in limbo, only to reopen it in January of 2029.

The same could occur here. The appellate courts need to make a decision, one not based on Trump being the President elect.

There are several other defendants in the case, so I would think it doesn’t just involve President Trump’s election.

The Georgia Court of Appeals may realize that they could become complicit in the RICO election interference that Fani was leading, or the sedition that she is now leading. They may not want J6 prison with no bail during the trial.

Have also read that the Court by it’s simple sentence and non-explanation may terminate the case permanently.

This local attorney has had some petty good takes on the whole Fani Willis debacle.

All documents need to be preserved for the incoming DOJ and possible 18.242 prosecutions.

Once the DOJ is scrubbed clean of criminals, the AG's attention will be turned to people like Fani Willis, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Juan Merchan, Arthur Engoron, E Jean Carroll, and many many other criminals guilty of trying to influence a federal election.

Justice must be done.

They may have made up their minds to disqualify her, without hearing oral arguments.

I hope Trump brings down the full weight of HIS federal gov’t on these scumbags.

You ever get the feeling that a lot of “off the record” backroom deals are being negotiated?

Normal people have a lot of trouble understanding what freaks on the left are doing.

“It is a waste of time to pursue studies in psychology when only abnormal psychology is useful in understanding the actions of most people we encounter.”
