Fani Willis, the Fulton County, Georgia, prosecutor who created an organized crime case against President Donald Trump and a long list of other defendants as part of the Democrats' lawfare against him, has suffered the ultimate in rejection.
After a lower court threw her off the case because of conflicts – for one thing she hired her paramour with tax money to assemble her allegations against Trump – the state Supreme Court now has refused to reconsider, making her ejection of the now likely-dead case against Trump permanent.
For the case to continue, another prosecutor would have to be assigned the case, and begin assembling claims about evidence from the start.
According to Law & Crime, it was a "supreme loss" for Willis, a Democrat who played a large part in her party's lawfare against Trump.
It was the Georgia Court of Appeals that ruled earlier, 2-1, that Judge Scott McAfee was mistaken when he allowed Willis and her handpicked special prosecutor Nathan Wade, with whom she had a romantic relationship, an ultimatum that one or the other had to go due to a "significant appearance of impropriety," the report said.
McAfee erred by failing to disqualify Willis and her office, that ruling said.
That was because of her "significant appearance of impropriety."
The high court said, "In the Court of Appeals, the defendants here appealed the trial court's disqualification order, which (1) found that the conduct of the district attorney and special prosecutor created a 'significant appearance of impropriety,' and (2) as a remedy, determined that one of those two prosecutors would have to withdraw from the case. In doing so, the defendants did not contest the appearance-of-impropriety finding, but they contended that the trial court's 'one of you has to go' version of disqualification was error, and that it should have instead simply disqualified the district attorney. And critically, the State did not cross-appeal the trial court's ruling."
The court said that ultimately may have to be reviewed in another case, as right now, "the legal basis for a rule that prosecutors may be subject to disqualification based only on conduct that creates the appearance of impropriety is not clear."
The ruling ends Willis' scheme to remain on the high-profile RICO case and transfers prosecutorial responsibility to a new attorney.
Trump's lawyer, Steve Sadow said, "The Georgia Supreme Court has correctly denied review of the Georgia Court of Appeals decision disqualifying DA Fani Willis and her office as prosecutors in the Fulton County RICO case. Willis's misconduct during the investigation and prosecution of President Trump was egregious and she deserved nothing less than disqualification. This proper decision should bring an end to the wrongful political, lawfare persecutions of the President."
Even now, investigations continue into whether, and how much, Willis schemed with special counsel Jack Smith, who was handling other Democrat lawfare cases against Trump, and ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's partisan January 6 commission, which actually assembled select pieces of evidence to claim Trump was responsible for those events.
