Fani Willis Loses Bid to Continue Prosecuting Georgia Trump Case

The 4-3 ruling means that the criminal case against President Trump, related to his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, will not move forward anytime soon, if ever.

——-

The Georgia Supreme Court on Tuesday dealt another blow to the moribund election interference case against President Trump, declining to intervene after an appeals court ruling last year disqualified Fani T. Willis, the Fulton County district attorney, from prosecuting the case.

The 4-3 ruling means that the criminal case — once considered one of the most serious legal threats to Mr. Trump after he sought to overturn his 2020 election loss — will not move forward anytime soon, if ever. The Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, a state entity, will now decide whether to reassign the case, and to whom.

The head of the council, Pete Skandalakis, is a Republican. A new prosecutor could decide to press on with the case — now against a sitting president — drop it or bring a modified version. If charges remain against Mr. Trump, he would most likely not face trial until after his term ends in 2029. But if a new prosecutor wanted to proceed with the case against some or all of the 14 other defendants, they could be tried sooner.

Mr. Skandalakis ended up personally handling a piece of the investigation after Ms. Willis was disqualified from developing a case against Georgia’s lieutenant governor, Burt Jones, who acted as a fake elector for Mr. Trump in 2020. Ms. Willis was disqualified from weighing charges against Mr. Jones after headlining a fund-raiser for one of his political rivals. Mr. Skandalakis ultimately declined to bring any charges against Mr. Jones.

1. So Willis lost control of the prosecution due to an unforced error on her part

Ms. Willis was disqualified from weighing charges against Mr. Jones after headlining a fund-raiser for one of his political rivals.

And this led to her being disqualified from leading the Trump prosecution.

This should end her career.

2. She was disqualified from prosecuting Trump because of her relationship with Wade.

7. Both unforced errors

It wasn’t her relationship with Wade, but the fact that she hired him, despite minimal prosecution experience, to work as her subordinate in the Trump case.

It didn’t have to be this way.

Her career as DA should be over.

8. On top of this, Willis and Wade could still be facing perjury charges, and/or possible disbarment

3. RICO charges seldom work. First stupid move. Second was letting personal relations get in way of one's job and turning

the trial into a chitshow. That was the easiest case against trump to win.

4. They had Trump on tape committing a felony end of story. 'I just want 11,780 votes'

And he gets to walk away just from that crime. Just like he got to walk away from
his attempted coup on 1/6/21, or his 34 felony convictions in NY State, or his theft
of America’s top secrets, or his …

6. I would love to have Lady Justice put handcuffs on Trump!!

5. Georgia-What a shit state

It will never be anything more than it now is; a shit state.

9. And those that tried to steal the election will be enabled and encouraged to do it again...

10. Teflon Trump

Somehow he does it again.

I'm beginning to think he IS the Antichrist. He has to have help from, if not above, from below

[bluestarone]

He's got a lot of DEVIL DISCIPLE'S helping though.
