Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her office cannot continue prosecuting the Georgia election interference case involving President-elect Donald Trump, the Georgia Court of Appeals has ruled.
However, the court declined to dismiss the case itself. Fulton County prosecutors quickly notified the court that they intend to appeal to the Georgia Supreme Court.
“While this is the rare case in which DA Willis and her office must be disqualified due to a significant appearance of impropriety, we cannot conclude that the record also supports the imposition of the extreme sanction of dismissal of the indictment under the appropriate standard,” the appeals court judges wrote. The three-judge panel voted 2-1 to disqualify Willis.
The thing that’s strange to me is that I’m not sure why fucking a subordinate and being a little shady about it would mean this particular case can’t be handled by her.
If the argument is that she can’t be trusted because she messed with expense accounts to facilitate banging a co-worker (and honestly I’m willing to listen on that front), why should she be trusted with any cases?
