The judge overseeing the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants has declined to outright disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, but ruled that either she or prosecutor Nathan Wade must step aside from the case.
In a 23-page ruling, Judge Scott McAfee wrote that while “dismissal of the indictment is not the appropriate remedy,” he concluded that “the established record now highlights a significant appearance of impropriety that infects the current structure of the prosecution team.”
McAfee ordered that the conflict described by the defendants presents “an appearance that must be removed through the State’s selection of one of two options.”
McAfee gave two choices for the prosecution in his ruling:
1 – “The District Attorney may choose to step aside, along with the whole of her office, and refer the prosecution to the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council for reassignment.
1 – “Alternatively, SADA Wade can withdraw, allowing the District Attorney, the Defendants, and the public to move forward without his presence or remuneration distracting from and potentially compromising the merits of this case.”
McAfee said Willis and Wade “failed to meet their burden of proving that the District Attorney acquired an actual conflict of interest in this case through her personal relationship and recurring travels with her lead prosecutor.”

Fox News contributor Joe Concha voiced his fury, writing, “The Judge is an absolute coward here. Fani Willis can stay on if she fires Nathan Wade? There’s zero logic to this because once again, all-things-political is a cancer in our justice system.”

Newsbusters editor Curtis Houck wrote, “So, if I have this right, Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee decided to pull a James Comey, Robert Mueller, and Robert Hur:
“Write a ruling saying Fani Willis and Nathan Wade are guilty as hell, have no ethics, and aren’t good role models….BUT Fani can stay.”

Podcaster Clay Travis wrote, “Atlanta judge rules Fani Willis must either fire Nathan Wade or step aside herself in the Trump case. A split the baby result. Both should be out, but the judge is a political coward.”
