Rudy Giuliani Rages at Judge Over Fani Willis Ruling

Source: Newsweek

Published Mar 16, 2024 at 7:31 AM EDT


Rudy Giuliani has attacked Judge Scott McAfee who on Friday ruled that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis can continue prosecuting Donald Trump and other defendants, including the former New York mayor, in the Georgia election-interference case.

McAfee ruled Willis could continue presiding over the case as long as Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor she was accused of having an inappropriate relationship with, was removed. Shortly after this decision, Wade announced his resignation "in the interest of democracy, in dedication to the American public, and to move this case forward as quickly as possible."

Giuliani was one of 18 people indicted alongside Trump over claims they broke the law while attempting to overturn Joe Biden's 2020 presidential election victory in the state of Georgia. Newsweek contacted the Superior Court of Fulton County, where McAfee works, by telephone and voicemail message on Saturday outside of usual business hours. This article will be updated if he decides to comment.

Trump's legal team was hoping to have Willis removed from the Georgia case, at the minimum necessitating a long delay and potentially causing the trial to collapse. The past week also saw Trump's New York hush-money case pushed back by a week and Florida Judge Aileen Cannon rejecting a bid to get his classified documents case thrown out for being "unconstitutionally vague."

Do they come with a complimentary Vitezi Rend medal?

Nazi-linked group 'proud' that top Donald Trump aide wore its medal
Counter-terror expert seen sporting insignia of 'Valiant Order' which helped execute Hungarian Holocaust

A Nazi-linked Hungarian nationalist group were reportedly "proud" to see one of Donald Trump's top counter-terror experts sporting their medal at the President's inauguration ball.

Sebastian Gorka, the Deputy Assistant to President Trump, was forced to deny he was an anti-Semite after making several public appearances wearing the insignia of Vitezi Rend.

He claims the medal was given to his Hungarian-born father, who was a member of the order listed as Nazi collaborators during Second World War, and that he wears it as a tribute to his father.

McAfee did a Hur report, he went beyond his scope, he laid the groundwork for Georgia legislators to remove Fani.

The one seemingly crafted specifically to remove her?

What are the chances, after going through all that effort, that they then turn around and don't use it? Zero, I'd say. We can only hope they wont get enough votes to remove her or the bill is somehow ruled unconstitutional in the courts. Since she was an elected official, the Georgia Legislature should not be allowed to overturn the will of the people?

Or something like that

He’s got a lot of nerve. I hope that when this trial is over he is shackled into a prison van on live TV.

As a former prosecutor you should know this. But then you got suspended from the NY Bar, so maybe you don’t.

and how to bow out gracefully.

For Rudi, that was 9/11 - 'America's mayor' and all that.

Made a mess of things since then trying to stay important and relevant, and now the price has to be paid.

But a lot of 'important' people make that mistake.
