Judge to decide on Fani Willis by 5p tomorrow.

[Sympthsical]

13. I just feel like he'll keep her

I'm not sure how, because the state bar is going to be all over all of them over what's come out. But I just don't get a sense this judge wants to be responsible for the entire case going to hell. He's a Republican, but he doesn't strike me as a MAGA type. Plus, he's only 34 (I know he looks way older). Who wants to tie their oar to Trump's sinking ship? He knows what it would look like for a Republican judge to wreck an entire Democratic DA's office. Like or not, he'd be associated with it forever. I think the dismissal of the six counts was his way of saying, "See? Being totally fair here. Trump got something, Willis got something."

My final gut feeling/prediction: Decides to go with a higher standard than appearance. Keeps Willis but gives her lots of stern words. Tells her she has to get rid of Wade, because Wade is where the conflict of interest arises.

Wild Card: What happens with forensic misconduct (i.e. the Church Speech). She did go into a historic Black church and more or less lie her head off while calling everyone involved a racist and claiming God told her to prosecute Trump. That . . . is not something a prosecutor should be doing. And it's not something anyone should want a prosecutor doing no matter what their politics are.

Wouldn't it be weird if he leaves the conflict of interest alone and DQs based on forensic misconduct? That would be interesting. No matter how he comes down on that, I'm really curious about what he has to say on the matter.

Anyway. I finished all my work and homework today so I have tomorrow free. I'ma be glued - glued! - because I have been following this stupid soap opera so closely.
