Judge Scott McAffee and his wife previously donated to the campaign of Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis, so the decision today doesn’t exactly come as a surprise.
Judge McAffee doesn’t want to be the white guy who removes the black district attorney. So, instead he outlined all of the malfeasance, impropriety, lack of judgement, corruption and poor conduct, then tells the DA either her office or the special prosecutor she appointed needs to be removed. Heck, it’s almost as if McAffee is auditioning to be the next House Speaker.

But seriously, what level of judicial cowardice is needed to decline to remove the DA yet recommend a host of regulatory agencies to review and do the dirty deed, so he doesn’t have to?
Within hours special prosecutor Nathan Wade resigned, as Fani Willis swooned over their love connection.
ATLANTA – Nathan Wade, the Georgia special prosecutor hired by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to lead the election fraud case against Donald Trump, resigned just hours after a judge ruled that either he or Willis had to step down for the case to proceed.
Willis accepted Wade’s resignation in a letter released Friday afternoon and thanked the private lawyer, with whom she’d had a romantic relationship that threw the case into turmoil.
“I will always remember − and will remind everyone − that you were brave enough to step forward and take on the investigation and prosecution of the allegations that the defendants in this case engaged in a conspiracy to overturn Georgia’s 2020 Presidential Election,” Willis wrote. (read more)

MSNBC legal analyst Andrew Weissmann called for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to recuse herself from her Georgia election racketeering case focused on former President Donald Trump and a number of his allies.
Weissmann, also a professor and co-host of the Prosecuting Donald Trump podcast, defended Willis against allegations of a conflict of interest, noting Judge Scott McAfee said there was no evidence of such in his Friday ruling. McAfee ordered that either Willis or special prosecutor Nathan Wade be removed from the case. Willis was accused of engaging in an intimate relationship with Wade before he was hired onto the case, something they both denied. They admitted to a short relationship that began after he was hired.
Weissmann called the ruling by Judge McAfee “absolutely infuriating” on Friday’s Morning Joe shortly after it was released. (LINK)
She dindunuffin!…
Oh, and this judicial ruling can be appealed…. lolol
…And don’t forget, 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.
Carry on!
Only?
She needs a LOT MORE than that!
She lied on the stand about visiting the Whitehouse. I will send my 17 year old cat to write the appeal.
So Weissmann just told Fanny what to do. Recuse. Hide it under the rug. Then have someone much more skilled (approved by Weissmann) pick it up.
I hope she stays on.
Yes, my take as well.
Wondering if Wade being now off the case can be called by the defense about his trips to the White House.
Can a gigolo be compelled to testify against his lover, even if they use to be prosecuting the same case?
Call me for your lover’s, lover’s alibi.. lol
Fani might single-handedly bring back a national appreciation for an old fashioned down home clown show.
A few observations here:
–The title of this article is silly. I applaud Citizens Free Press for removing the ability for people to offer comment on most postings, because we (on the right) were just embarrassing ourselves there. I guess we can stop criticizing Hillary for falling into dialect when she’s addressing a black church congregation since we give every indication that we find it appropriate. The Left is going to attack us no matter what we do or say. But we stand before God clean unless of course we are actually handing them the ammunition to do so.
–McAfee did himself no favors here. The fact that he allowed the hearing at all on possible disqualification earned the ire of the zealots on the left. Nothing but a full Engoron-like presiding, with guilt prejudged and every attempt at justice denied, was going to satisfy the low-info partisans of the left and he failed to deliver that. Forcing “Sister” Fani to choose between her unfaithful lover and her vendetta was the ultimate betrayal, to them. He would have been better off going out as a judge – at least then his integrity would still be intact. They will ensure that his tenure is short and few on this side will shed a tear over it.
–The Judge found that the defense didn’t quite make the case for an actual conflict, with their witnesses, such as Yeartie, being too vague in their recollections. But somehow Sister Fani and Wade, with their thousands of dollars pulled out of stuffed mattresses, receipt-less, “you have my WORD that I paid him back, that’s good enough!” were more credible? To reach such a judgement, McAftee had to lower the bar of justice from “an appearance of a conflict of interest” to “an actual conflict of interest.” And yes, that is a lowering of the bar because dispassionate, blind justice, in our constitutional republic, demands that the defendant be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Thus, anything that appears to unfairly tilt the scales against that presumption has to be removed. After all, if this is blind justice that we’re after, what difference does it make if it be Fani bringing it? This is not personal, we are told. No one is above the law, including the triers of guilt. The demands of justice weigh equally on both sides and anything that would “taint” the proceedings with the appearance that those demands have not been met are suspect and must be removed. There was enough evidence, credible evidence, that there was an appearance of a conflict. To allow Willis or Wade to continue on the case, despite that taint, mocks the outcome. The taint remains while those responsible for it remain, in whatever number.
–Most judges now have become politicians and are increasingly seen as such. The respect that we as a society once accorded the black robe is going the same way as the respect we once gave to the medical profession. When a society loses respect for its leading institutions, and yet grievances continue to multiply, you are heading for a powder keg situation. This weak, vacillating, mealy-mouthed decision is one more push along that road.
J
Okay, whatever…
Yeah.
Could be summed up with ‘the Judge took one for the team’.
He’s done.
And he knows it.
Trust God. Fear not.
Sweet opening to a huge wall of text. Hope it remained interesting. The gibberish about the title ended it for me.
Sound bite syndrome.
Hello!!!
They treat us like we’re all stupit, ignarent and domb.
You must be a racist, alluding to skin color here. What color again is a person who says ‘dindunuffin’, exactly?
You should email the admin (see top right corner) to remove your email address 🙂
The bottom line is that the case should never have been brought in the first place and there are plenty of grounds to dismiss it… despite all the other conflicts, collusion and sheer corruption evidenced in this latest chapter.
Oh, and friendly piece of advice… when visiting for a chat, don’t disparage the host 😉
It wasn’t the host being disparaged, the title of the piece was called into question.
I hope that snowflake culture hasn’t become so pervasive that even on this side we’re intolerant of criticism.
If lawyers (including prosecutors and judges) held themselves to the same standards they expect police officers to follow, the courtroom would return to what it once was. The other DAs seemed way more concerned with upholding their fellow corrupt persecutors than protecting the Constitutional rights of the accused.
Prosecutors are terrified that an LEO’s text or off-hand comment might escape discovery, yet Wade and Willis managed to obscure a years’-long affair and embezzlement. When caught, they played the race card, just like the thugs they prosecute. Woe to you, lawyers.
Well I disagree about the title, which is very apt and speaks volumes, encapsulating the entire affair, so to speak. As the article then goes on to say, correctly: The Judge, being white, is afraid of the consequences of making a black female D.A. actually obey the law. If she were white, and particularly if she were a Republican, she’d have been out long ago, disbarred, referred for prosecution.
Reading this,
I could imagine one of them doofy little guys that sneered and snotted all over us while “influencing” for Meatball Rob.
I forget their names….
remember the ignorance they spouted in their whiny little voice.
Then I cleaned my cat’s litter box.
Oh and you’ll want to mind your manners regarding our benevolent host, thanks.
I love the Title. Let’s remember that God gave the Philistines hemorrhoids when the stole the Ark of the Covenant. So, why not have some humor about Fani’s Fat gift from the judge! Here cum da judge!
She is the epitome of today’s black woman…large and defiant with an attitude.
She or they know they are untouchable because the media will cover for them and white’s will not go near them for fear of being called a racist.
That’s another reason she was “recruited” by L-Fare…a female with color…”they” whether it be Fani or Leticia…are perceived to be untouchable by the Lion’s team…however…the lack of facts or evidence will pull them down…
ghetto
And ignorant drunk on power with criminal minds.
And she won.
As I said last night, the judge will do exactly what the deep state allows him to do. That’s what they allowed them to do.
What he is TOLD to do.
Good catch.
✔️
What these Get Trump courts, Fed or State, are doing to the judicial system is a crime, and the repercussions will be long-felt across the United States…if we remain the United States. Wow!
While they accuse Trump of insurrection they burn down judicial credibility. We can’t live without belief, no matter how strained, in rule of law. Garland’s political abuse of the system has caused far greater harm than anything they allege of Trump.
I am getting real tired of all this.
Take a nap. It’s just getting started.
Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger should be giving Fani and Nathan a lecture about morality, decency and virtue. They claim to be Republicans after all. I expect them to defend democracy. Right?
They are not republicans. They are decepticons. Liars.
In addition we are a republic.
I am aware.
A local county DA cannot indict and prosecute the President of the United States for actions he took while President and within (at the very minimum!) the outer perimeter of his official duties, ie, taking care that the laws of the United States are enforced!
This case should have been dismissed by a Federal Judge a week after it was filed. Can you imagine county prosecutors second-guessing the actions of the President of the United States and then overruling those actions via a criminal prosecution when he leaves office?
We are living in a judicial clown world!
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
B.a.n.a.n.a. R.e.p.u.b.l.i.c.
Ad nauseum. Next case. Maybe we can get a real kangaroo to be the next so called Judge. How many DC Swamp Judges were really ever Judges in the first place? Does the name Eric Holder belong at the top of this gang of criminal prosecutors? I think so. He and The One were really The Two.
Fanni said to Nathan
Lesson learn. White demonrats are coward and corrupt
Kemp is white, “republican” and governor appointing these assclowns.
Speaking for myself and all of us who were certain McAfee would DQ Fani, I don’t think we were wrong in our logic. Everything we’ve said about why the case should be decided against Fani is still valid, and were all admitted by the judge himself. So our fact-based, legal-based arguments SHOULD have won. But our MISTAKE was believing that McAfee was ethical and honest enough (he seemed VERY thoughtful and thorough during the hearings) to do the right thing… had the COURAGE to do the right thing. And on that, yeah… we were wrong.
Remember, no matter what the law and facts dictate, no matter who’s the judge, it’s always going to end with TRUMP LOSES!
There is no law, rule, or custom that can’t be discarded in the quest to get Trump.
We’ve seen Judges exercise that agenda time and time again!
It takes a strong helping of jello to admit you may have been wrong about the morality level in our once Great, and soon to be great again country, the USA.
Sad people deserve the sad clap. Don’t look at them
You know what, I take back everything I said. That DA and Judge are fine representatives of the Uniparty and everything they stand for.
America this is your government. What are you going to do about it? After all it is YOU that are footing the bill!
Exactly.
Anyone else think Willis and Wade might have been informed of this decision prior to announcement?
All those other “forums” the judge listed are likely just as corrupt and/or cowardly as the judge himself.
The upside is that it is likely impossible a trial happens before the election.
Fani Gorilla Grip Willis stays on…the case… I got a gorilla grip on this case I am the queen I have been ordained to prosecute TRUMP****
I’ve read the original recording they used to create this farce was recorded illegally?! Any facts known about this?
In addition to Trump and Raffensberger, Raffensberger aide Jordan Fuchs was on the call and was responsible for the recording. However, Fuchs was not in Georgia at the time. Rather, Fuchs was in Florida at the time, and Florida requires two party consent to record a phone conversation. Trump did not know the call was being recorded and had not given his consent. After the call Raffensberger and Fuchs lied and said Trump asked them to “find votes” and leaked that lie to the Washington Post. Fuchs later deleted the recording from her computer to hide the evidence, but it was recovered by investigators. The entire case should be thrown out immediately and the real criminals, namely Raffensberger, Fuchs, Kemp and Fani, should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. But don’t hold your breath.

This is gonna be appealed of course. And today Dershowitz said any good appellate lawyer could easily win this, and he even implied that HE would take the case if asked. 😉
Another thing, I’ve heard a couple people today say that Wade being removed could actually be a bigger deal than it seems. Since he was the lead prosecutor, and gathered a lot of the evidence himself, the Defense should file motions to EXCLUDE all the evidence/testimony he was involved in (Grand Jury etc)… excluded for being “fruit of the poisonous tree”.
That clown… Wade… did not gather any evidence.
All he wanted was a fat piece of ass that was going to fund his lifestyle of trips and perks.
Remember he went to DC…the “evidence or case” was prepared for them by L-Fair and given to them to try.
Funny…L-Fair picked the wrong “color” horse to ride on this one…
Of course. But it doesn’t matter that he actually didn’t have much to do with it… what matters is that HIS NAME is all over it.
Given thst six counts were dropped, BECAUSE THEY WERE POORLY CRAFTED, I kinda doubt your assumption, and I think Wade actually did write them, himself.
I’m thinking not on section one, and possible on section two, jello.
I mean no.
The odds of the criminal cartel openly punishing one of their own, other than to send a message, are about the same as the Mafia punishing one of their own, other than to send a message. And in the sense that this supports the public awakening with even more evidence of the two tiered justice system, it’s to the benefit of the MAGA Agenda.
The judge shed his credibility. He’ll lose his next election now.
?
My only surprise in this is to learn Andrew Weissmann has such a gender-neutral voice. His viciousness as a prosecutor is explained by an over-abundance of estrogen.
I hate to have to go here, but, Blacks in this country are doing themselves no favors. They stereotype themselves with stuff like this, with DEI, with mass looting and on and on. Maybe there are a few, but I don’t see an embarrassed community. I don’t see any outcry denouncing the portrait their community paints for itself. No repudiation, just doubling down. In fact, we get the ‘community enrichment’ vibe shoved in our face with their preponderance in commercials, advertisements, every show, at every gas pump for crying out loud … daily. Yet we see, and catalogue in our minds what happens at places like Harvard, in Government, in the Justice system, in stores, on planes, and in schools. We see the system protecting and facilitating dindu behavior and we add it to our ever growing ‘profile’. The pot slowly boils.
I hope things change without the shit hitting the fan someday. Not confident. I am white in a mostly white region, but when I see the rare Black, all that junk I just described whizzes through my head, can’t help it.
<<<rant off>>>
We have reached a point where the law is irrelevant, applied only to the people the government wants to prosecute. This judge just proved that he is bought and paid for, he can not think for himself, and I would wager his summary was written in DC and provided to him.
This has become extremely frustrating that our constitution is no longer recognized within the rule of law, our speech is being muzzled, and our country has been invaded buy 12 to 20 million illegals.
Struggling to find a silver lining with all the damage our government has achieved.
“Makes no sense” as Alan Dershowitz described the decision is a dead giveaway of the use of Lawfare style “reasoning” in the decision.
In a sane world.
The courts and judges are bought and paid for. We are living in lawlessness. The Leftists don’t even hide it anymore. It’s like so what, I dare you
come and get me. What a clown show the United States has become. I heard Judge McAfee is up for re-election and was threatened by the
Leftists. I just can’t wait for this whole Country to blow up already. Don’t look for the Republicans to help us. They are just the same as
the Leftists, Communists, Marxists that are running this Country.
I’m pressed for time as I’m sure someone has noticed this already but- are James Comey and Judge McAffee related?
My only surprise in all this is that McAfee has a wife!
DANG!
Who needs true crime shows when you can be witness to all of Fulton County’s crimes and criminals.
Well, not all. Yet.
We still have a lot of strings to unravel, Thanks to Ashleigh Merchant.
This woman is a hero!
“…doesn’t want to be the white guy who removes the black district attorney.” Ya’ think? She’s also a female (I mean I think she is, but then I’m not a biologist). And, I’m assuming she’s a leftist. Trifecta.
McAfee is a coward — pure and simple.
She’s such damaged goods that she was probably told to recuse herself after the “judge” finds no fault to remove her from the case (but it begs the question what WOULD BE enough in this Georgia state judicial system?) By actions alone they have indicted their whole state judiciary.

I was deep into this thread and suddenly…aww, snap that bra strap!
I was just a skinny lad
Never knew no good from bad
But I knew life before I left my nursery
Left alone with big fat Fanni
She was such a naughty nanny
Heap big woman, you made a bad boy out of me
Yes she did Nathan Wade!!! 😆

Oh, you’re going to take me home tonight…
Read articles on comments from Dershowitz, Turley and Graham (heehee) about the undermining of faith in the court system. hey Graham – they are undermining Everything!!! I digress.
What do McAfee, Chutgan, Erdogan think is going to be on the other side of this series of bad judicial actions for them?
Willis thinks she’s going wind up on the Supreme Court (cuz we’ve seen how smart she is). But if you do the bidding of the Mob, you just have to keep doing the bidding of the Mob. Haven’t they seen The Godfather?
“Carry On” Indeed!!! 🙂
They will not stop seeing each other either. What a joke.
The judge did not want to be the guy getting the African American DA off the Trump case, or recommending her for prosecution. So he punted the case in the hopes it gets appealed and out of his hair.
When I look at Willis and wade. I think to myself “God don’t like ugly “

Two corrupt adulterers, but the lying MSM describes them as having a “romantic relationship”.
Bodily fluids all over that relationship.
Yes the Judge donated to her campaign, he also worked for her and knows how vicious and vindictive she is. He knew given the choice that Wade would step down and he would be spared being called “racist”.
…”he also worked for her and knows how vicious and vindictive she is”
That’s not the way she tells it…
“Willis confirmed in an interview with The Washington Post last year that McAfee had been one of her “baby attorneys” and was “immensely talented.”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/03/12/judge-scott-mcafee-trump-georgia-case-fani-willis/
The judge is corrupt as well. He donated to fani’s campaign… He should’ve recused himself. POS…
Ongoing story, that may well be the gift that keeps on giving for MAGA and PDJT.
Have predicted all along these lawfare against PDJT would fold up, when they either served their purpose, or failed to serve their purpose, much like they brought in Barr, to shut down Mueller, when it passed its expiration date.
So, watch after the Convention, for them to shut these down…
Good thing is Trump didn’t file this, so they can attack on different angle (coordinating with JoeBama and McCord) while or after this is appealed 😂😂😂😂
Lawfare the lawfarers.
odor of mendacitystench of corruption… and the judge has soaked himself in it🙂
Well put.
