Summary

A Georgia appellate court disqualified Fulton County DA Fani Willis from prosecuting Donald Trump and co-defendants in the 2020 election interference case due to her relationship with a special prosecutor, Nathan Wade.

The court ruled Willis’ involvement compromised public confidence, despite Wade’s resignation.

While the case has not been dismissed, transferring it to another county prosecutor may prove difficult given its political and legal complexity.

The decision significantly undermines the case, following federal prosecutors already dropping related charges after Trump’s reelection.

    The way I understand their conspiracy theory is this. That the DA hired a lead lawyer in her case against Trump who she had/was romantically involved with. She did this for a high profile case as a witch hunt so that the lawyer she hired could use his pay to give her vacations and gifts in exchange for letting him work on a case that put himself and family in danger, and that several others asked before him had refused.

    It’s insane and makes no sense, but that’s it in a nutshell.
