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.

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.

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.

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

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.
