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.
SEE 23-page Ruling HERE
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!
I used the “Dindu Nuffin” term on Gateway Pundit and American Thinker about 6 or 7 years ago and was banned by Disqus on both sites! Lol
My, oh my how things have changed.
How I miss Colin Flaherty!
Yup, I used it a couple of times for mockery purposes and it was removed!!! 😝
Gotta protek the protektid klass!
Oh yes! Add redstate and moonbattery to that list for me as well
I achieved a lifetime ban on Disqus but mine was far more egregious because I insulted the LBTQXYZ and I like gerbils community. I stated that it was impossible for Pete Buttplugus to nurse a child and went on to say that his thinking that he could was a definite marker of mental illness. BOOM! I was done! I too miss Flaherty.
I’m banned for life from Gateway Pundit, Breitbart and CBC. Homos, dindus and hajis are protected species whose feelings must not be hurt.
I got banned from DISQUS for pointing out Karl Marx had a Jewish grandmother.
Also, the comment about the word “bastard” was derived from “son of a camel driver.”
The White Girl Bleed a Lot!
She’s a good girl! A very good girl!
Yeah, I’ve used various words to describe low IQ tribal blacks over the years, and have been banned by Powerline, Truth Social… and some others I’ve forgotten.
Stand tall, keep using the words. This is still America.
When referring to perps, I switched from” Dindu Nuffin” to “D’Oofus.”
Genus Saevus Africanus, the brethren, pavement apes, bruvaz, smokes, dinges, Novembers.
This “Judge” makes me think of Comey where he went through a whole list of illegal things Hillary did, but then said no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute her.
The blatant hypocrisy is the point. Both were saying they knew it was wrong but because they have POWER they can do it anyway and there’s not a d-mned thing you can do about it!
Ms. Bluetooth Gorilla Grip and her Beau are officers of the court, are they not? Some believe there was apparent compelling evidence of willful perjury evident in their testimony under oath.
How that matter could be ignored may be the greater scandal.
The implication: perjury by Georgia government officials and their agents has become normalized to the extent a sitting judge prefers indolence to duty and a reasonable standard of judicial care.
Our professions have collapsed. Our Trustee culture is in ruins.
For The Children. What awaits them? They become but fodder for the harvest.
Fani and Nathan are the poster children of affirmative action.
My only consolations are the fact that God is in control, and POTUS Trump’s attorneys are the finest, and the meanest f’ers ever.
Robert Hur also said something similar regarding Biden.
Durham said the exact same thing about the Russiagate perpetrators
I thought the exact same thing. The deep state wins again!
Yep, that’s what I said from the get-go! It is exactly lie that.
And now SC Hur.
Oh, like Hur’s copy/paste job for document thieving Joe?
Hur-Biden is nothing but Comey-Clinton 2.0.
“Cop out”
What a wee little coward this Judge Scott McAfee.
Keep the spotlight on this political circus! The clowns are already in the center ring!
One “f” or two?
Every man and his dog knew this halfhearted response was coming. The Judge was compromised. Donations to Dems and election coming up in weeks. He had the chance to be remembered as an impartial Judge and chose to be cowered by the mob Western cowboy style, thought the judicial wing was without fear or favour.
Like DA Mike Nifong in the Duke Lacrosse case. Kept prosecuting after the guys were 100% shown to be innocent just to please the black voters and keep his job.
McAfee screwed the pooch and he knows it. I can envision the him in 10 years, if not 10 months, repeating Brando’s “I coulda been somebody” line from On the Waterfront.
good enough for government work… I know it used to mean a high standard.. But at this point we all know it’s not.
Just a reminder that lawyers did this to you…. They continue to do this to you… nothing has changed.
WHEN was it a high standard? Hasn’t been in my lifetime and I’m glad the scales are being removed from the eyes of so many.
A little background on the phrase.. my dad used to say it all the time. Never knew it was Canadian in origin till years later.
Shoot…I can remember my dad saying this EXACT phrase at least 40 years ago…
This country was founded with a full understanding of how crappy government is to the people. It was created to moderate against it specifically.
A people without government is crap. A government without “the people” is crap too. But a government specifically limited against the harm it is known to do is the best we can EVER hope for.
“… if we can keep it.” Because even then, the interests of corruption were well understood. NONE of it is new as much as we pretend otherwise. People love to say “times have changed” when that’s simply meaningless. The hearts of men haven’t changed. What changes is how much power is concentrated among certain people without morals and ethics.
Yeah, that means well over a half century for me too. The gubt has NEVER been efficient in my eyes. AND I have NEVER trusted the gubt. EVER.
It is never good idea to trust your gubt.
That expression never meant a high standard. It always meant a low and minimalist standard or worse. Terms like “military grade” just means “more dangerous” for example. It doesn’t mean “better” or “more efficient” or “more suitable.”
Close enough for gubt work always meant haphazard, couldn’t care less to me. Like throwing a dart at a dartboard with your eyes closed after you were spun around 5 times.
If it works now, OK. Who cares about a year from now. Let somewhere else worry about that.
Expensive? Who cares! It’s OPM.
Save money? For what? We have to spend all of our budgets so we can ask for even more next year. Now, where are we going for our mid-year retreat?
That kind of attitude.
That phrase always meant half-assed work, let’s quit now.
Cowardice; Self-preservation; and Corrupt – until today had no idea it was possible to be all three at the same time.
I’ll just wait until you realize they are all ONE thing.
The American justice system is now “Sure, they’re guilty, but so what? Have a nice day.” and “They didn’t do anything illegal. Go to jail anyway.” The Republic is dead and it ain’t coming back to life. Maybe another one will rise from the ashes someday, but stick a fork in it.
I said it before….Sub Saharan Nubian Princesses do not get in trouble in Atlanta.
I was hoping that’s what you’d say.
This will produce what is sure to be an endless loop of mendacity memes, quotes and videos of fani’s lying, hypocrisy and ineptitude. The spotlight is on and there’s no turning it off.
Fani’s blown it, and her well deserved legal woes are just beginning. The spotlight will get brighter.
I can see why McAfee has had such a “meteoric” career rise in GA.
Look for Black Knight’s notes on his unusually steep career trajectory earlier this thread.
The guy is clearly Kemp’s hand picked tool.
What he’s destined for, why he’s valued, what they have on him to make him such a reliable puppet, is as yet unknown.
I will go search it out now, merci!

Great info, worthy of a Sundance update.
Sounds like Judge ForAfee is some kind of errand boi for Kemp.
That was enlightening and sickening. Ty again mon ami for pointing this out, and to BK for the info.
It makes me ill to see how truly awful most people in any seat of power are. And yet, citizens are just ignorant or stupidly complacent with how bad things are.
C’est un monde fou.
He’s the token white.
Georgia, you need to clean your house. It’s a mess!

@PhilHollowayEsq
Whoa Boy!
I just got my hands on a 23 page grievance filed against #FaniWillis with the State Bar of Georgia
It’s very thorough and even has a table of contents citing the ethics rules she’s alleged to have violated!
I’ll share it as soon as I get permission, but it’s a doozie
This is what Weissmann was afraid of on the Morning Joe show video that SD posted above. The judge just opened a can of worms that will bring all kinds of unwanted investigations like this.
Weissmann called the ruling by Judge McAfee “absolutely infuriating” on Friday’s Morning Joe shortly after it was released.
If that SCUMBAG is upset by the ruling…it’s a net positive for MAGA and Godzilla Trump!!
Keep on crying, Andy. Rober Mueller’s “pit bull”, indeed. 😄
“Mostly peaceful” perjury😂
Ask me why my goal in life is to avoid using an attorney or have anything to do with the legal system. I would like to elaborate but the moderator would delete my comment.
Communism rising..
Weissmann deserves much credit for the disgusting and putrid condition of the Justice system in America.
Anyone who did not see this coming? If so, I screwed up – I should have sold you the Brooklyn Bridge while I had the chance.
There was no frigging way this “judge” was going to throw Fani’s fanny off the case – the Atlanta Urinal-Constipation would have eaten him alive, and we know how scared public officials are of the press.
McAfee dismissed two witnesses to the Wade-Willis affair saying Bradley’s testimony’s “inconsistencies, demeanor, and generally non-responsive answers left far too brittle a foundation upon which to build any conclusions.”
Yeartie’s testimony “lacked context and detail.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/03/inconsistencies-judge-mcafee-tosses-terrence-bradleys-testimony-against/
The Fani prosecution is built on a solid foundation with context and detail?
The proven liar, Fani Willis, brought a case based on an illegally recorded phone conversation in which the alleged crime had to be fabricated and fed to a complicit media. Fani’s office ignored the exculpatory evidence that Trump’s remark was that he only needed the audit to show 11,000 votes out of 150,000 found to be fraudulent. As president he had every right to fight for fairness in an election that has since been amply demonstrated to have been corrupt.
So, other than conspiring with the WH to fabricate charges and lying about it, hiring her lover and lying about it, and misspending public funds and lying about it, McAfee bids she continues despite the lingering “odor of mendacity.”
“There ain’t nothin’ more powerful than the odor of mendacity. You can smell it. It smells like death.”
Damn right, Big Daddy!
Is there a legal recourse for PDJT to get the Judge’s ruling overturned or to still go after the DA?
They will appeal it.
Did you watch the video SD posted above of the Morning Joe show with Wissmann? They are furious with this judge’s decision because it’s going to invite serious investigations. He wants Fani to resign!
A post above sounds like it’s already started.
Yeah but Scott McAfee knows all about it, he’s just as compromised as the rest of them. The layers upon layers of cover appointed and nurtured for the longest time is as stunning as it is infuriating.
But Ms. Willis IS the thread that will undo an enormous section of the cabal.
Pass the hor de verbs, this is gettin interesting!
In page 16 of the ruling McAfee stated, “neither side was able to conclusively establish by a preponderance of the evidence when the relationship evolved into a romantic one.”
Is the standard a conclusive standard, or a preponderance of the evidence standard?
One of many conflicting legal statements from a Judge.
I’d bring this forward on an appeal every time!
They all must go…….to the bottom of the ocean
It came as no surprise to me that this spineless Georgia vermin didn’t have the guts to do the right thing…he’s a dimocRAT isn’t he? Donated to her campaign, hell he used to work for her if memory serves. Seems to me the entire “justice” system in America is compromised, rotten to the core.
FJB
Actually, from what I’ve heard, he’s a RINO. Appointed to fill a sudden vacancy and now running against two Democrats
Another judge to be cancelled. Permanently.
Something smells funky in ‘Lanta
One inch from shady pines… priceless!
Turned out just as I expected. A white judge in today’s racially charged environment is queasy about disqualifying a black female DA in Georgia so he takes the easy way out with all kinds of dubious rationalizations for his decision.
Things really started to go downhill in Georgia after Hank Aaron was killed by the Covid-19 injection.
Jes protectin’ hisself against the sisterhood. Fani is spreadin’ da word.
It’s not “because he donated.”
When he first came out dismissing charges against Trump and others, I knew exactly what he was doing. He was preparing the right with a “balanced” solution.
His execution was actually pretty good. He did enough damage to the case by doing this. They can still “refile” but it’s too late to make a difference. Fani Willis and her deeds are exposed and the legislators of Georgia are prepared to impeach and her constituency no longer supports her and they are all wearing Trump’s mugshot on t-shirts!
She is done for. He doesn’t NEED to do any more than he has done.
Meanwhile, he has “protected himself” as a Democrat by allowing her to continue.
Will this strategy work? I give is a 40/60 chance of being successful. I say this because the leftist mob cannot easily tolerate anything that looks moderate. It’s “compliance or death” with them. And the Democrat party is now run by extremists. As we know, the Democrat party has a long history of “leaving the membership” as many have famously stated “The party has left me! I didn’t leave the party!”
“umprofessional manner of the District Attorney’s testimony”? You mean the outright belligerance? I don’t believe in any way, shape or form that if her performance on the stand (eye-rolling, waving clipped stacks of paper, thuggish glares) had come from someone she was “prosecuting” that she wouldn’t have commented FOR THE RECORD on that behavior. Nor do I believe that Jedge McAfee would have allowed that CONTEMPTible behavior from anyone else than his former boss. Dindu knew exactly what she was doin’, exactly when and how to play the “poor, pitiful me race card” from the pulpit and how to put on her thuggish act for the country to witness. THIS is the new just-us system in the US. The breaking of rules and laws is for JUST US. The ability to use courts to humiliate American citizens is for JUST US. The ruling of arbitrarily ridiculous fines and demands of unconscienable requirements for appeal is for JUST US. The ability to use taxpayer dollars to collude with unscrupulous DAs and present/former government employees is for JUST US. The practice of charging political opponents for “crimes” when they do what some of US have done previously and some have done without any proper legal authorization is for JUST US. The appointment of one of the most bitter and smallest, pettiest people to head the Department of JUST US is immoral.
By the way, those of you who voted for JUST US believe that you will be safe. As the saying goes, it’s a small group and you will never be a part of JUST US!
Time to donate to the Trump Team again.
Fine sentiments from Dersh. I watched another YouTube by him where he explained why the Judge would rule as he did and why that would be fully justified.
Meanwhile over on Gateway Pundit, this Trump quote appears:
“Nathan was the “Special,” in more ways than one, Prosecutor “engaged” by Fani (pronounced Fauni!) Willis, to persecute TRUMP for Crooked Joe Biden and his Department of Injustice, for purposes of Election Interference and living the life of the Rich & Famous,” Trump wrote.”
I take one except with this. Not Fauni but Fauxni!
“Judge” McAfee, who somehow finds Nathan’s Hot Dog’s conduct beyond the pale, while Willis is scolded, but can remain ring leader of this circus, didn’t have the intellectual fortitude or moral rigor to properly disqualify these criminals for multiple felonys, has been supplanted.
A certain Holloway, reported last evening that Ms Willis faces an 8 count referral to the Georgia Bar association for Ethical violations. You can find the story at Citizens Free Press.
I commented, sans profanity, on FOX news that Mary McCord and Andrew Weissmann likely wrote McAfee’s decision for him. I discovered that my comment had been deleted. I posted it again. It got deleted again. Then I posted simply “Mary McCord strikes again!” Deleted within 15 seconds.
Everyone can see very clearly now if ANY of that testimony/evidence was presented against a conservative DA prosecuting a lib/prog/soc defendant McAfee would have returned his decision immediately, from the bench… DQ’d w prejudice
Judicial Watch Weekly Update
15 Mar 2024
https://jw.structure.email/weekly-update/wu-31524
Excerpt:
Judicial Watch Sues Fani Willis for Communications with Jack Smith, Pelosi Committee
District Attorney Fani Willis and Fulton County, Georgia, seem to have provided false information about having no records of communications with Jack Smith and the Pelosi January 6 committee.
We filed a Georgia Open Records Act lawsuit against Willis and the county for records of any communication they had with Special Counsel Jack Smith and the House January 6 Committee (Judicial Watch Inc. v. Fani Willis et al. (No. 24-CV-002805)).
We sued in the Superior Court of Fulton County, GA, after Willis and the county denied having any records responsive to an August 2023 Georgia Open Records Act request for:
+All documents and communications sent to, received from, or relating to Special Counsel Jack Smith or any employees in his office.
+All documents and communications sent to or received from the United States House January 6th Committee or any of its employees.
We state in the lawsuit that Willis’ and the county’s “representation about not having records responsive to the request is likely false.” We refer to a December 5, 2023, letter from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan to Willis that cites a December 2021, letter from Willis to then-House January 6 Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson. In that letter Willis requested assistance from the committee and offered to travel to DC. Jordan writes:
Specifically, you asked Rep. Thompson for access to “record [sic] includ[ing] but . . . not limited to recordings and transcripts of witness interviews and depositions, electronic and print records of communications, and records of travel.” You even offered that you and your staff were eager to travel to Washington, D.C, to “meet with investigators in person” and to receive these records “any time” between January 31, 2022, and February 25, 2022.
We argue: “Willis’s letter to [former] Chairman Thompson is plainly responsive to the request, yet it was neither produced to Plaintiff in response to the request nor claimed to be subject to exemption from production under the Open Records Act.”
We also cite recent news reports and other records which “indicate that representatives of Willis’s office traveled to Washington, DC, and met with January 6 Select Committee staffers in April, May, and November 2022, as Willis proposed in her December 17, 2021 letter …”
We state that a January 2024, Politico report titled “Jan. 6 committee helped guide days of Georgia Trump probe” and a January 2024, letter from the House Judiciary Committee to Fulton County Special Prosecutor Nathan J. Wade are examples that “Such meetings plainly had to be coordinated and likely generated communications if not other records about or memorializing these meetings.”
Any such records would be responsive to our request, the lawsuit states.
On January 30, 2024, we announced that we filed a lawsuit against Fulton County for records regarding the hiring of Wade as a special prosecutor by Willis. Wade was hired to pursue unprecedented criminal investigations and prosecutions against former President Trump and others over the 2020 election disputes.
In October 2023, we sued the DOJ for records and communications between the Office of U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith and the Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney’s office regarding requests/receipt of federal funding/assistance in the investigation of former President Trump and his 18 codefendants in the Fulton County indictment of August 14, 2023. To date, the DOJ is refusing to confirm or deny the existence of records, claiming that to do so would interfere with enforcement proceedings. Judicial Watch’s litigation challenging this is continuing.
Special Prosecutor in Trump RICO Case Steps Down | Facts Matter
15 Mar 2024
https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/special-prosecutor-in-trump-rico-case-steps-down-facts-matter-5608321
To many people’s surprise, the judge overseeing the Fulton County RICO case ruled Friday that DA Fani Willis would not be disqualified from the case (so long as the man she was having an affair with stepped down).
Meaning that in order to remain on the case, all Fani Willis had to do was fire Nathan Wade—after she had already paid him a cool $600,000 in taxpayers’ money.
In the 23-page ruling, Judge Scott McAfee did not exactly mince his words. Instead, he wrote that either Willis or Wade would have to go because the entire case now has an “odor of mendacity”—meaning it reeks of untruthfulness.
And lo, within hours of the judge’s ruling being made public, Nathan Wade resigned from his position as special prosecutor.
Let’s go through what this means for the case, as well as for President Donald Trump’s electoral prospects.
Black privilege on full display. Or as the younger Bush put it, the soft bigotry of low expectations.
The phrase was originally said by the late U.S. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D – NY).
I believe Fani will recuse herself from this case.
Given her history and that this “impropriety” ball and chain will be with her every step of the way, if she continues.
The defense won’t allow her to shake it. People in Georgia are smart and today, they are smarter.
Here we have a judge to cowardly to remove a corrupt prosecution team from attempting to imprison a slew of people.
A man with no testicular fortitude to do what is right.
This man decides who goes to prison and for how long.
The most horrific thing you can do to an American citizen is take away their rights and place them in a cage.
This so called judge does not have the backbone to prosecute the lawlessness right before his eyes because the DA and office are government workers.
If you went to court before this judge and the prosecutor had 1 witness, well that would be good enough, to send your ass to jail.
No the judge did not do anything HONORABLE in this case. He did everything he could to protect the government, so he could see that President Trump and others can continue to be persecuted.
The damn judge is as corrupt as the DA office and Fani Willis
She is a founding member of the Dindu Nuffin tribe, an offshoot of the MoTea and MomBack tribes, originally from the low country of some other country.
Cowardice will not win, and God will bring His justice in His own best time. As frustrating as the whores have become, as frustrating as the corrupt judges have become, this is in God’s hands, and He is raising up a righteous army.
MAGA.
I agree with Sundance completely.
Just want to add that as a trial lawyer, I could not imagine anyone I would rather face in court at this point than Fani Willis.
She is seriously damaged goods. A laughingstock. Also she is tone deaf and has a shockingly low IQ. She will continue to f it up. If they replaced her, you might get a competent lawyer. Just a thought.
Yes she is damaged goods and would be the one you want to face in court. That I agree on.
The part I am disgusted with is the legal profession.
This case should have been tossed from the get go. Never should have been a county DA prosecuting a President while in office.
The corruption is off the charts on this. We have people being prosecuted that never should have been to start with. But attorneys love controversy so they can get rich while the defendants have their lives ruined.
Here we have this corrupt prosecution continuing and the lawyers continue to feed at the pig trough. Our court systems have been destroyed by the Bar Association. Which by the way is no where in our constitution. The Bar is a private entity for the purpose of protecting the legal system of thievery.
He’s just trying to clean up the mess she’s made of things, trying to give her case some legitimacy after she’s destroyed it.
America is so corrupt.
Sounds so much like Jim Comey telling us of all the stuff Hilldog did, but wasn’t going to press charges because she didn’t know it was wrong.
Judge Joe Brown’s take on the decision…
