Hope it's not as bad as it might seem ...

1. Perhaps the solution is not to get involved in politics while working on prosecutions.

6. Bragg, now Willes. Don't you want trump to be bought to justice?

[brooklynite]

11. Trump is not a candidate. Nor does he have an opponent to endorse.

[rsdsharp]

2. I think I'd challenge this. This is pretty clearly a political decision.

[H2O Man]

15. No it wasn't.

[Nevilledog]

3. It's for one target.

All that means is another prosecution agency will be appointed for that one guy.

This was an unforced error by Willis, but will have no long term effect on the investigation.

5. Thx for the clarification! I always trust your legal assessment!

4. Correct ruling by judge, but not a show stopper at all.

It’s a slippery slope to hold fundraisers against a candidate and prosecute the candidate at the same time. It’s one fake elector, the grand jury will continue on.

...which means, no charges will be brought.

12. So the lesson here is - if you are facing a criminal charge

Run for office.

[Deminpenn]

13. No, the lesson is for a prosecutor to recuse if they have an interest

in the campaign for the office for which your target is running.

In this case, Willis was supporting and fundraising for Jones' D opponent. She should've known better.

[H2O Man]

17. Right.

Willis made an error. The judge's ruling is correct.

[H2O Man]

14. Recommended.

Yes, I watched the hearing. Willis erred in appearing at a fund-raiser for the Democrat. The judge's ruling was correct, and would have been quickly over-turned if he decided differently. However, it is not as bad as it may seem, as there are others that can take over the investigation.

18. She should have recused herself

The judge is right.
