Georgia Appeals Court Disqualifies Fani Willis From Trump RICO Case

#FaniWillis disqualified from #Trump #ElectionInterference case by #Georgia appellate court
The decision, which Willis is likely to appeal to the Georgia Supreme Court, is a major victory for Trump & his co-defendants & could doom the high-profile prosecution.

#FultonCounty DA #FaniWillis’ office dealt a major blow to #Trump’s effort to have his #Georgia #ElectionInterference charges dropped with new round of objections.
The Georgia prosecutor’s office in court documents filed Wed pushed back against the president-elect’s demand that his case be thrown out in light of the #SupremeCourt’s #PresidentialImmunity ruling, according to The #NewRepublic, which called the development a "massive twist."

I would like #EJCarroll, #RubyFreeman, #ShayeMoss, #CassidyHutchison, #LizCheney, #FaniWillis and so many more women to explain to #JeffBezos and #PatrickSoonShiong what courage is. These women have more strength in the fingernail of their little pinky than these frightened, greedy, and fascistic billionaires.

2/ Barnes' hiring is no coincidence. When he was only #FaniWillis’ lawyer, he asked to sit in on Wade’s deposition so he could object on her behalf to qs seeking sensitive or confidential info. But Chairman Jim Jordan turned him down
Wade will be questioned about Willis’ use of federal grant funding + his team's meetings with the White House and the Jan 6 committee as part of the election interference probe.
Based on this letter from the DA, we're expecting Wade won't divulge much

@msnbc @the-reidout-blog-msnbc Because Merrick Garland is afraid of tough-talking #Republicans ?
I wish #FaniWillis would give #MerrickGarland some courage!
We need more #Accountability in #USpol !
