The judge whose ruling allowed Fani Willis to stay on the Trump case has granted the defense a certificate of immediate review, permitting former President Donald Trump and eight Trump co-defendants to seek an appeal of his non-disqualification decision.BREAKING: 🚨🚨Judge grants “certificate of immediate review” in the #FaniWillis disqualification motionThis means the Court of Appeals has to also approve, but it’s likely to be allowedThe issue is too important.pic.twitter.com/Ot6DQ21DBM— Phil Holloway ✈️ (@PhilHollowayEsq) March 20, 2024Judge Scott McAfee ruled Friday that the Fulton County district attorney can continue prosecuting the Trump case on one condition: her lover, Nathan Wade, withdraws....

On Thursday Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist confirmed our reporting from February last year. A new book from Mike Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman admits that a widely misunderstood phone call, on which Willis’ political prosecution rests, was illegally recorded. That means the entire prosecution could crumble with defendants having a new avenue to challenge Democrat lawfare.

Three separate prosecutors reportedly met with White House aides before indicting former President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden’s political opponent. The reported meetings suggest a coordinated attack against Biden’s 2024 rival. If coordination occurred, it lends credence to Trump’s belief that the indictments are election interference. The timing of the indictments are peculiar. After Trump announced a reelection bid against Biden, four indictments hit Trump in four separate jurisdictions, each following revelations about the Biden family business.

Looks like there's more trouble for Fulton County DA Fani Willis. We reported earlier about the response from Jocelyn Wade to Willis' attempt to get out of a deposition in Wade's divorce case. Wade wants her to talk about the money that she paid Nathan Wade, Jocelyn's husband and Willis' alleged "paramour' (the term used in Jocelyn Wade's filing), so that could help her figure out the marital estate for purposes of the divorce and the spousal support. Willis ridiculously accused Jocelyn Wade of colluding with the parties in the election interference case and trying to harass her. Then Wade...

Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis (D.), accused of hiring her lover to prosecute former president Donald Trump, is the latest anti-Trump icon to embarrass herself and her boosters in the media. Willis allegedly engaged in an improper relationship with Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor she hired to lead the racketeering case against Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. A court filing in the case last week accused the pair of having a "clandestine" and "improper" relationship and taking vacations together to "Napa Valley, California, Florida and the Caribbean" with some of the $654,000 in legal fees...

Fulton County DA Fani Willis spoke at the Big Bethel AME Church in her first remarks pertaining to the scandal about an alleged "improper relationship" with the man she had named to be a special prosecutor, Nathan Wade, to bring the case against former President Donald Trump. She was accused by a defendant in the case, Michael Roman, of appointing Wade and having him paid nearly $654,000 in legal fees since January 2022. Documents in a filing by Roman also showed what appeared to be payment for two meetings with the White House, which raised concerning questions about possible coordination....

The Governor of Georgia described accusations of misconduct by the District Attorney prosecuting Trump election interference cases in the state as “deeply troubling,” to The Post on Friday. A spokesperson for Governor Brian Kemp also indicated Fulton County DA Fani Willis could face a probe by a special commission over her alleged “improper” relationship with Nathan Wade, who she appointed as a special prosecutor in the case.

VIDEOEven those of you who rarely or even never attend church will be mighty tempted to do so, at least online, this Sunday because the guest speaker at the historic Big Bethel AME Church, Martin Luther King's church in Atlanta, will be none other than the notorious Fani Willis. Scheduled time for her speech (sermon?) will be at 10 AM EST. Since the Shtoopgate scandal has broken, we have not heard a peep from Willis, described by Carla Morrison of Chit Chat Communications speaking for Big Bethel AME Church, as "the baddest sistah running around right now." It will be...

FoiaFan🇮🇱 @15poundstogo Cool. Ed Meese’s amicus brief has been accepted in the Trump appeal (challenging Smith’s standing), and the court has directed the parties to be prepared to argue the issues raised by the amici.

Indicted Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro is meeting with Wisconsin and Michigan investigators to avoid further charges in an investigation into Trump 2020 alternate electors. State investigators in Wisconsin and Michigan are turning the screws on Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro, according to a leak to CNN. Chesebro is talking to investigators in at least four states. Reports of his cooperation in Wisconsin indicate there is an investigation into the state’s alternate Trump electors. Democrat Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel in July criminally charged 16 dueling ‘Trump electors’ in the state’s 2020 election.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) stood by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and dismissed Republican calls to impeach Willis over her 41-count indictment against former President Donald Trump and 18 others. Kemp dismissed calls to impeach Willis as “political theater” during a press conference on Thursday. [cut] Kemp rejected Moore’s calls for an investigation, arguing a special session would “ignore current Georgia law and directly interfere with the proceedings of a separate but equal branch of government.” [cut] ...I have not seen ANY evidence that D.A. Willis’ actions or lack thereof, warrant action by the prosecuting attorney oversight commission....

The House Judiciary Committee is launching an investigation into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) and the indictment of former President Donald Trump. In a letter to Willis, Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R) explicitly questioned her motivations for prosecuting Trump. "Your indictment and prosecution implicate substantial federal interests, and the circumstances surrounding your actions raise serious concerns about whether they are politically motivated," he wrote. Regarding questions about her motivation, Jordan raised five issues: *four days before the indictment was announced, Willis "launched a new campaign fundraising website that highlighted" her investigation into Trump; *the infamous forewoman of...

This is Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign since his administration is one big failure. Joe Biden has nothing to campaign on so he’s hiding out doing spin and Pilates classes in Lake Tahoe while his DOJ and Marxist DAs lock up his main political rival. Trump will turn himself into authorities on Thursday after Fulton County DA Fani Willis charged him with RICO and conspiracy for daring to challenge the 2020 election. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee allowed cameras in the courtroom for Trump’s arraignment in Fulton County. WSB-TV, WAGA TV, WANF TV and WXIA TV will be in...

Back when Newt Gingrich was just getting his feet wet as Speaker of the House, the press launched a campaign to brand him a "bomb thrower." It was a overreaching narrative-making on their part, and probably coming from the Clinton camp, but there was a bit of truth in it: Newtron always goes where no flaccid, cowardly RINO dares to tread. Now he's got a doozy. According to Matt Margolis at PJMedia:Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich revealed on Thursday that a reliable source told him that a request was made from Washington, D.C., to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis...

Poor Fani. Her moment of glory will be a short one. Lawyers tell us that Fani’s case against President Trump is likely to be moved to a federal court -- because it is directed at federal officials and because the accusations are very similar to those made by Jack Smith in the January 6th indictments. In the end, however, Fani may be happy to let the feds conduct the trial because some of the 161 “Acts of Racketeering” (ACTs) in the indictment involve dangerous criminals doing dangerous things. For example, here is ACT 6 (in its entirety): On or about...

Trump’s Allegations about DA Fani WillisDuring a speech in New Hampshire, former President Donald Trump made accusations against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.Trump claimed that Willis was having an affair with a gang member and criticized her motives in pursuing legal actions against him, the statement coincided with speculation surrounding a possible fourth indictment against Trump in Georgia, saying:“‘They say there’s a young woman, a young racist, in Atlanta, and they say, I guess, they say she was after a certain gang, she ended up having an affair with the head of the gang or a gang member.”Adding, “This...

Fulton County DA Fani Willis held a press conference after the indictment on RICO charges was released in Georgia. The lengthy charges, served against Trump and 18 of his associates, involve the RICO Act and are primarily regarding alleged conspiracies. "Every individual charged," Willis said, "in the indictment is charged with one count of violating Georgia's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act through participation in a criminal enterprise in Fulton County, Georgia, and elsewhere, to accomplish the illegal goal of allowing Donald J Trump to fees, the presidential term of office, beginning on January, 20 21." Willis further explained her...

VIDEODoes CNN Legal Analyst Elie Honig realize that he might have put his job in jeopardy by HONESTLY assessing Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis? Oh, CNN might not outright FIRE Honig for veering away from the approved NARRATIVE but don't be too surprised if you see much less of him in the near future.

grand jury is set to consider whether to indict 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump in connection with alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia. If indicted, this would be his fourth this year. Lawyers who have followed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ investigation, including some who have worked with her in the past, expect her to invoke Georgia’s RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act, which is modeled after the federal act of the same name, according to the Wall Street Journal. “Signs are certainly pointing in that direction,” said law professor at Georgia...

Maria Bartiromo went on FOX and Friends Weekend to discuss her upcoming show this morning. Bartiromo announced her guests and then made a prediction on upcoming indictments against President Trump. Maria Bartiromo: I will also tell you that all of the lawmakers I spoke with over the weekend, and many of them are on board they want an impeachment inquiry started. They believe that a Georgia indictment is coming in two weeks. So I assume the DOJ is waiting for more evidence of things to come out on Joe Biden and the Biden Family taking money in and then they...
