    Her entire office WAS NOT removed from the case.  When are you going to get your facts straight?

    "The Georgia Court of Appeals has removed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the prosecution of the election interference case against President-elect Donald Trump and his allies

    The ruling did not dismiss the indictment, which means that Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia will need to find another prosecutor to take over the case. That prosecutor will then be able to decide if the case will go further."

    My link was updated today.  What's the date on your link?  Apparently, you don't understand what "the indictment against Trump still stands" means.  But feel free to argue because that's what you do.

    EDIT TO ADD LANGUAGE FROM THE COURT'S ORDER:

    "In the absence of express statutory authorization, dismissal of an Iindictment “generally cannot be imposed absent a violation of a constitutional right.”(Citation and punctuation omitted.) Id. While this is the rare case in which DA Willisand 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 sanctionof dismissal of the indictment under the appropriate standard. See Olsen v. State, 302Ga. 288, 293-294 (2) (806 SE2d 556) (2017);  Lamb v. State, 267 Ga. 464, 465-466 (5)(479 SE2d 719) (1997). We therefore affirm the trial court’s denial of the appellants’motion to dismiss.

    I did not claim it had been dismissed.

    It is from today. But I already knew from before that if she was removed it would apply to the entire office. 

    It means they have to either appoint someone or find another prosecutor to take the cases on their own.  Or they will simply be dropped.   

    As I asked.  What do you think will happen? This post was edited by my2cents at December 19, 2024 2:31 PM MST

    No predictions? 

    I predict it goes away. They will not be able to find another PA willing to take up the case against Trump.  Or the other defendants.

    All three judges on the appeals court are Republicans (surprise), but it's important to note what the dissenting judge Benjamin Land actually said. At least one of them put the Law above politics.
    If his name wasn't Donald J Trump he'd be in jail already.

    The original judge should have thrown her off the case.  And she should be disbarred for lying under oath in court. 
    She and Wade are still dating.  When her kid was pulled over not long ago, guess who showed up at the scene? Both of them in the same car.

    If his name wasn't Trump, he would never have been charged to start with. This post was edited by my2cents at December 20, 2024 4:55 AM MST
