Georgia Supreme Court Rejects Fani Willis' Bid to Prosecute Trump

… her office as prosecutors in the Fulton County RICO case. Willis’ misconduct during the investigation and prosecution of President Trump was egregious and she deserved nothing less than disqualification. This proper decision should bring an end to the wrongful political, lawfare persecutions of the President."

I’m pleased to announce that Fani Willis has now been permanently disqualified from prosecuting the indictment that she brought against President Trump, me, and many others.

… case, so that she could try to get un-disqualified after the Georgia Court of Appeals threw her off the case.

The case now moves to the Prosecuting Attorneys Council of Georgia. They will decide on a replacement for Willis.

Praise the Lord for progress in this case. It never should have been brought in the first place.

… prosecution against President Trump and his allies Tuesday.

The 4-3 decision declines to review a lower ruling disqualifying Willis over a “significant appearance of impropriety” stemming from her romantic relationship with a top prosecutor on the case.

It’s a death knell for the prosecution against Trump and his allies in Georgia over their efforts to subvert the state’s 2020 election results — at least under Willis’s office.

Though Georgia’s Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council could appoint a new prosecutor to take on the case, that process could take months, leaving the sprawling racketeering prosecution in limbo.

Willis said in a statement to The Hill that, despite disagreeing with the court’s decision not to review her appeal, she respects the legal process and the courts.

“I hope that whoever is assigned to handle the case will have the courage to do what the evidence and the law demand,” Willis said, adding that her office will make case materials available to the council.

… the Georgia case took a turn after it came to light that Willis was in a romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, a top prosecutor on the case.

The trial judge ruled either Wade or Willis had to go for the case to move forward, so Wade swiftly stepped aside. But an appeals court late last year went further, saying the “appearance of impropriety” meant neither could prosecute Trump.
