Speaking to local media, Judge Scott McAfee confirmed the decision to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will be released tomorrow. SEE VIDEO:
District Attorney Fani Willis and Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade had a long-term romantic relationship. They were caught lying about it in court testimony.
Additionally, according to White House visitor logs, Mr. Nathan Wade visited White House lawyers prior to indictment of President Trump, while DA Willis met with staff (Mary McCord) from the January 6 Committee prior to the indictment. The scope of the political lawfare is in bright sunlight now.
The Georgia prosecutor, meeting with Biden lawyers prior to the indictment against Biden’s political opposition, is a big issue that has yet to surface in front of Judge McAfee. The legal ramifications of DA Fani Willis being discharged from the case for conflicts of interest and lying to the court are still unknown.
I wonder if he has skeletons in his closet? Because if he has, and he just witnessed the efficiency of uncovering Fani’s dirty deeds by the defense, he may well throw her under the bus to avoid an in depth revelation of his past. Throw her under, resign the bench and get out of Dodge on the very next coach.
He donated to Fanis election campaign
At one time she was his boss.
He doesn’t need skeletons in his closet. He’s an elected Democrat.In Georgia. That’s all you need to know.
He’s actually a republican who was appointed to fill a term left vacant by a previous judge.
He may have never had a chance in a real election in Fulton County.
WELL, in that case he might as well go out with a bang. He was running unopposed until the primary challenger announced. What DOES remain unknown is how loyal he is to the GOPe, and if that allegiance trumps justice. The corruption is so blatant, so squalid, it makes the Georgia legal system a laughing stock not just in the United States, but around the world. Will Judge McAfee be content to drive the last nail into that coffin?
IMO Fani Willis made the Rob Blagojevich error. Not being corrupt, but being very stupid about it and getting caught in a way that embarrasses the Democrats.
He was appointed
Having skeletons in the closet is a prerequisite for all these judges. They’re already under control when they get the gig.
..or at least long nurtured by important, powerful “friends”.
It’s an old story that big banks would have judges they had sponsored and nurtured since they were a pup in (law) school.
If he does have skeletons, he may let her skate lest he be exposed…
He will protect her big fat fani. He used to work under her and then donated to her campaign. He is up for re-election in a majority kneeegrow district so needs to show he is as corrupt as the illiterate drug addicted constituents.
What did he do working under her? If this is true its a big fat reason he should not be the judge now over her.👀😳🦨
Recusal.
First off, worked UNDER Fanni, he has my sympathy!
Way too much information LMAO!!!!
He worked under her?! Good grief, I hope he wore the correct PPE for that task.
FULL Chemical Gear Suit is the ONLY way togo in MHO!!!!!! WOWZA!!!!
Likely the same thing Nathan Wade did “working under” Old Gorilla Grip
He might. But many conservatives donated to her campaign because they wanted to get rid of the prior DA. Lawyers of all stripes donate to DAs campaigns. So that’s not unusual. He’s likely to lose the election no matter what he does. It’s a 70% black electorate. So the black social Justice warrior is more than likely to win. From a career perspective, he’d be way better off tossing her, losing the election, and then taking a nice position at a mid size conservative law firm in an actual red state.
Please don’t judge Georgia by Atlanta. Most every county outside of the metro Atlanta area is red with the blue colonies in city areas like Savannah, Augusta, Macon and (for some-odd reason) SW Georgia.
Yup. Most states are like that. The metro-hives’ tendencies is what makes news pundits with crayons draw pretty maps that are meaningless.
Yup. When whites voted 50% against barry o it was due to racism. When blacks voted for him by 10 to 1 it was because they were an informed electorate.
Barry O ran against ….. John McStain and then Mittens. Not exactly stellar opposition.
You nailed it Braveheart. He let her continue.
It won’t be as good as it should be I bet
Get a load of corruptocrat politics of the last 4 years?
He’s going to do the safe minimum and let her off.
McAfee said at the end of closing arguments that he’d reopen the case for more evidence/testimony “If I need it to make a decision”. And in his radio interview, he said he wrote up a rough draft of his decision just a few days later, and that nothing has changed since then. So… by NOT opening the case up for more evidence, he is explicitly saying he did NOT need more input to come to a decision. Which means that by the time closing arguments ended, he was already leaning heavily toward one side or the other.
So what other evidence was still out there that McAfee decided he did NOT need to see in order to make a decision?
Well, for the Defense there’s a LOT of stuff, like more phone records; expert witness on those records; at least two other witnesses willing to testify that the Willis/Wade relationship started much earlier than they testified to (under oath); and one of those witnesses willing to testify that she heard Willis basically threatening Bradley to keep his mouth shut; and another witness who saw Wade at a table with Bradley during a time they supposedly weren’t, that likely was another coercion attempt against Bradley . ALL of this evidence could do nothing but STRENGTHEN the Defense case.
And for Fani, the sum total of HER new evidence was gonna be a statement from some guy in Napa Valley that Fani once bought bottles of wine from him “with cash”. Apparently intending for that to bolster her claim that she paid Wade back in cash.
But McAfee isn’t gonna let ANY of that come in. Now consider which side would be helped or harmed the most by the evidence if he HAD let it in. The Defense evidence would, clearly, help them a lot. But the Fani evidence would, I think, move the needle not one iota…. it’s almost laughable in its lack of importance. And yet despite the vast disparity in the potential effect of allowing or not allowing each side to present their new evidence, McAfee chose to allow NONE of it in.
So assuming McAfee was being honest when he said he’d only allow more evidence in if he really needed it, and since he did NOT allow it in, that can only mean he was ALREADY leaning heavily to one side or the other. Could he have been leaning in Fani’s favor? I think it’s pretty obvious that could NOT be the case, since him disallowing all the new evidence by the Defense would be DENYING THEM the right to try to change his mind.
Only if Judge McAfee was already leaning heavily IN FAVOR OF THE DEFENSE at the end of the hearings would he be even remotely justified in NOT allowing new evidence to come in… since he would consider that new evidence “not needed”, that it would be OVERKILL.
For this and other reasons, I am VERY confident McAfee with DQ Fani and her office.
I hope you are right but I have my doubts. He’s a cowardly white man in a mostly black environment.
If this judge does not disqualify, and doesn’t refer each of them to the AG for perjury, and to the local professional conduct committee for lack of candor before the court, it will be open season to lie with impunity in any proceeding before him.
The evidence defined perjury, and the appearance of impropriety.
“… it will be open season to lie with impunity in any proceeding before him. ”
Only if you’re a fellow democrat.
Good application of logic.
McAfee, being a loyal Party member, knows the cash story is fiction to cover ethical breaches and perjury. He is maybe sparing Ms Willis from further incriminating herself because lies always begat more lies and lies in court constitute perjury. No doubt he is experiencing great pressure from the Democrats from the WH on down but he has to retain some integrity, right? Right?
Someone should be spying on him his bank accounts and communications with whom and when and what about…Especially the DOJ goons and Garland….
Lawfair carnival side shows like the fanny show are a distraction used by the uniparty like bread and circuses.
This poor judge is in an untenable position: 1) Throw her off, lose his judgeship, or 2) Keep her on and partake in a visible, to the whole world, a true court of fool liars and forever destroy any sense of trust in the American judicial system and be one of the central characters to be remembered forever.
I am so so glad this is turning out as it is. This has helped revive my faith in God.
Never give up on our creator. We have done much more than Sodom or Ghmorah yet we’re still here for a reason. You will see God Bless please pray for our country.
Beware the Ides of March.
Who thinks he’s being bribed by the Biden administration to keep her on the case? He’s going to be voted out soon. I’m sure they have offered him a comfortable future appointment in exchange for a favorable ruling. Dems are all about the quid pro quo.
This case is a dumpster fire from the beginning and if Judge McAfee leaves Ms Willis on the case it will degrade in a total farce. No judge wants to be overruled on appeal and if Ms Willis is left on the case, it most certainly will be overturned. He knows this but there is tremendous pressure on him from the WH on down the Democrat chain to keep the farce going for the sake of reelecting Joe Biden. He is beholden to the Party for his job even if he loses his reputation in the process. It’s tough being an elected Democrat what with their ever-changing morality and rules of conduct but he will have to choose between integrity or status.
McAfee has advised that his integrity is more important than politics. Considering what we have heard during these hearings, it is highly unlikely that he will allow Willis to stay on this case.
Don’t bet on this guy. Don’t bet on any judges today. Judge Cannon just refused to dismiss bullshit documents charge against President Trump.
Mcafee is up for a special selection this year and his opponent is African American. Will he follow the law or will he try to save his job.
Now we know. He tried to save his job. He will be richly rewarded.
Friday news dump?
Obfuscation and contracted to the weekend MSM talking head shows.
I doubt “Governor” Abrams will let anything bad happen to her.
Sub-Saharan Nubian females are pretty much exempt from any responsibilities in the “State of Atlanta”….sins and lawbreakers are resume enhancements.
Why talk about it?
Mary McCord and Andrew Weissmann have already written his decision to keep Fani on the case.
mmmm – I think it will be a little more subtle than that.
But not too much more. I’ll be surprised to see any real justice steps, like: Fani et al referred for perjury; the entire DA’s office staff, those employees registered before 11/2024 disqualified; and case dismissals with prejudice.
Scott Mcafee was the inspector general from the executive branch in Georgia before Gov Kemp appointed him judge. He failed to look into election integrity and let Sec State Rafensperger lie to him without consequence about audits being done on the Dominion machines right after the 2020 election. Raffensperger had sent a letter to all on captital hill and Pence that certain counties had been audited. FOIA requests from the “audited ” counties showed no records of the audits being done. If Mcafee allows the trial to go forward I imagine he will have to confront his own actions (actually inactions)
now that he ruled that only Nathan has to go I think he is hoping to keep his role in covering up the election fraud under wraps until after the election. He threw out a few charges yesterday on trump getting officials to try and violate oath which will cause delay if they go back to grand jury . Fani gets to keep the whole charade going because no one else will be as stupid. All that is necessary is to keep the narrative going that the white supremacist tried to steal the election through Nov. The following is from the Ga indictment . Note the part that says “or whatever the correct legal remedy is”
Act 156. On or about the 17th day of September 2021, DONALD JOHN TRUMP committed the felony offense of SOLICITATION OF VIOLATION OF OATH BY PUBLIC OFFICER, in Violation of O.C.G.A. §§ 16-4-7 and 16-10-1, in Fulton County, Georgia, by unlawfully soliciting, requesting, and importuning Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, public officer, to engage in conduct constituting the felony ofi’ense ofViolation of Oath by Public Officer, O.C.G.A. 16-10-1, by unlawfully “decertifying the Election, or Whatever the correct legal remedy is, and announce the true Winner,” in willful and intentional Violation ofthe terms of the oath of said person as prescribed by law, with intent that said person engage in said conduct. This was an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy. Act 157.
Should be interesting. Will he call Evil as Good. Or follow the Law.
She has a “D” after her name. Don’t hold your breath.
Way Way Way too much garbage in this case to allow this DA’s Office to continue
While we are seeing some sanity in some judges (Judge Cannon in Florida, and then that ruling in California that dismissed a case against some conservative protesters because Antifa wasn’t being equally prosecuted), this feces is costing Trump 100’s of millions of dollars.
He needs to be reimbursed.
I wonder if he found a horse head on his pillow?
No doubt that’s for Friday morning, early am.
What’s the line on this guy doing the right thing?
Is Vegas still taking any bets.
He won’t do the right thing more than likely and there will be an onslaught of angry lawyers and judges on his tail for doing so.
He has already telegraphed he is not disqualifying her when he threw out six charges. If he was going to dump her, that would not have made sense.
I told you all that nothing will happen to Fani Willis, surprise surprise.
The coward split the baby in the middle because his own reelection is at stake and he needs the AME Church Network to not squash him like a bug. So he had Wade removed. So many cowards. Wow!
I really do not expect any adverse actions against either of these two nasty mongrels (and I’m trynna be nice in describing them)
Well, well, well we have our answer. This judge has shown himself to be a coward and has now allowed for the precedent of DA’s and their cronies to lie when under oath. He has just proved to the country that he is undeserving of holding judgeship. I hope this judge and his election goes down in flames.
Oh My GOD!!
Fox News is saying AJC is reporting the Judge told Fani she has to either leave or cut ties with her horndog Nathan Wade if she stays
HE’S LETTING HER DECIDE IF SHE’S GUILTY!!!
WTF!?!?
Did you expect something different in clown world.
sorry, forgot the link
up go trump’s number’s as america witnesses MORE corruption in the judicial system.
McAfee rules “no conflict of interest”, “no material benefit” to Fani… one or the other must go, the other can stay.
It’s like the dark episodes of Star Trek or Enterprise, where they beam into the inverted world where everything good is now evil.
He just ruled she can continue with the case, as long as she doesn’t continue her relationship with Wade.
And we all know she will do both and ignore the slap on the wrist.
The minimum required for damage control with the dimmest wits or heavily Dem biased part of the public is what I’m afraid of.
To me, although PDJT is the one on trial today, these corrupt jurists’ are on trial in the sense of history of tomorrow if not predestination.
Well, I guess I called it. A wimpy, half assed decision.
They both should have been removed and punished for their misconduct.
Kemp appointed this judge.. that’s all you need to know.
I said when this whole thing started that this judge would find a way to let her off the hook.
What a surprise… Not!!!
The country everyone once knew no longer exists.
It’s over.
The judge in the Fanni Willis used the incorrect standard in his ruling….question, can the Trump defense team appeal this judges’ ruling? I believe they can… 🙂
And there it is…
The persecution of President Trump will continue.
Lavrentiy Beria has been resurrected and is in charge of what passes for “justice” in our now irredeemably corrupt nation.

Been done. He’s letting her stay.
McAfee learns he has a political challenger so he punts Ms Willis’ criminal behavior to state and fed regulators so that he maintains a neutral stance?
One left the other stayed.
Ho hum! Who on this site thought that this decision would be any different?
Don’t fool yourself. There’s still a lot of people who think we’re going to win in a corrupt system.
https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/georgia-fani-willis-order-5590397?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=whatfinger&src_src=partner&src_cmp=whatfinger here it is folks, just like we expected
Guess he felt too guilty for all his white privilege. Seriously, are any of you surprised?
He’s either a pathetic coward, or so corrupt he had no choice. Which means he is both.
I mentioned yesterday that the Demcommies play everything to win elections, no matter how criminal they need to be. They were not about to allow Scott McAfee to be the judge in this obviously political case, if there was any chance his integrity would matter to him during this sham trial.
Still, I believe Trump’s defense will be able to find many more irregularities they can bring up in his Courtroom before any outcome can be manufactured against him. I am still optimistic that Trump’s legal team will eventually prevail. I have never been optimistic about this spineless Judge and it looks like he will continue to be a lapdog for the Demcommies and the GOP leadership of the State of Georgia.
Today’s decision will likely lead to an appeal. In effect, the case will probably not be tried before the election.
The deep state wins again!
The odor of mendacity judge refers to in ruling allowing fanny to not be removed stinks.

Unbelievable. Seems you can do anything and any crime as long as you align with the Leftist and DeepState anti -American agenda.
What a tool. He worked for Willis and contributed to her campaign. The ruling is irrational. Whatever Wade did wrong, she was completely complicit in it. And she had greater responsibility. If he needs to go, then she all the more. This is a cowardly rendering. and should be appealed. And McAfee’s career needs to be over.
