“The complaint states that although the court found that Ms. Willis’ conduct created the appearance of impropriety and created a lingering “smell of deception” in the case, it nevertheless declined to dismiss the case or disbar her. “I’m pointing this out,” Sadow continued.
“The motion further notes that the court has determined that Georgia case law lacks precedent governing the standard for prosecutor disqualification for forensic misconduct. For these reasons, among others, , the court’s order is ripe for pretrial appellate review.”
Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee ruled Friday that Willis can stay on the Trump case if his fellow prosecutor and ex-girlfriend Nathan Wade is fired by Willis or voluntarily resigns. was lowered. Wade resigned hours later.

Moreover, she said, her political opponents used the “race card,” which made her and Wade equal parts of the blame.

Sources close to the Trump case told Breitbart News that the ruling brings several positives. “Judge McAfee’s decision disregards the principles and will very likely result in an interlocutory appeal or a motion to transfer the case to a jurisdiction not tainted by Mr. Fani’s racist comments.” the source said.
“If evidence of election fraud is presented, proceeding with the case could very well result in an even more surprising victory for the administration,” the official added.
