Reactions are pouring in on social media after Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee issued a stunning ruling Friday morning in the scandal of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade.
Willis and Wade were caught having an “improper” affair even as they were bringing allegations of “election interference” against former President Donald Trump from 2020.
Instead of kicking them both off the case, McAfee ruled that either Willis and her whole team must step aside from the case against Trump, or she must fire Wade.
In another twist, it has been noted that Judge McAfee once worked for Willis. The New York Times reported last year:
Judge McAfee, 34, rose quickly in Georgia’s legal world after graduating from law school a decade ago, and one of his first jobs was in the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office. There, he handled early stages of felony cases before being promoted to the complex trial division. The division was led at the time by Fani T. Willis, the prosecutor overseeing the Trump case, according to a former district attorney and another lawyer who worked in the office at the time.
Ahead of McAfee releasing his ruling Friday morning, prominent social media user Mike Engleman had shared a video of comments the judge made the day before.
“I hope I’m wrong, but Judge Scott McAfee’s body language and lame response tell you he’s not going to disqualify Fani Willis. After all, he worked for her, donated to her campaign, and probably has been threatened and bribed. #Rigged,” Engleman wrote.
Sure enough he was right.

After the ruling, Engleman wrote, “The rule of law and equal application of the law and justice is dead in America!”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) wrote:
Judge McAfee worked for Fani Willis and donated to her campaign AND has now ruled that Fani can keep prosecuting Trump but only if she removes her lover Nathan Wade off the case!
Judge McAfee should have recused himself in the first place because of his obvious bias.
Fani Willis lied under oath in his courtroom!
Fani and Wade conspired with the Whitehouse and Jan 6th Committee, talk about RICO charges!
Fani Willis overpaid her lover Nathan Wade as he had zero experience with RICO cases, abuse of taxpayer funds!
And the Georgia Ethics board needs to seriously investigate both Fani Willis and Nathan Wade, I’ve filed multiple complaints!
The corruption in Fulton County, Georgia is some of the worst in the nation. It makes most of us in Georgia sick.

Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Tex.) also voiced his outrage, writing, “Another POLITICALLY MOTIVATED Judge!! Fani Willis should be DISBARRED, her boyfriend prosecutor should be FIRED, and ALL CHARGES NEED TO BE DROPPED! Americans are SICK of theses endless Witch Hunts! ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!”

Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) wrote: “Judge McAfee once worked for Fani Willis and donated to her campaign. I am not shocked that he didn’t disqualify her, but as an American, I am disappointed. Fani Willis is as crooked as they come! It is impossible for @realDonaldTrump to get a fair trial! Election interference!”

Fox News political analyst Gianno Caldwell wrote: “It will be very difficult to trust the judicial process in the Fani Willis case against Trump considering the impropriety shown, the appearance of coordination with the White House, and the fact that Fani clearly lied on the stand about her relationship and when it started. You just can’t trust this.”

“Just a coincidence the Fani Willis ruling was assigned to a judge who used to work for Fani Willis. Nothing to see here,” mocked Jack Posobiec.

Former 2016 Trump campaign manager Corey R. Lewandowsk: “I thought this headline was a joke: Fani Willis and her office can stay on Trump Georgia 2020 election case if Wade steps aside, judge rules. What world are we living in? #Rigged #WitchHunt.”

Monica Crowley: “Judge McAfee rules that Nathan Wade must step aside in the Georgia case in order for Fani Willis to stay on. McAfee is a Democrat who worked for Willis, donated to her campaign, voted for her, & is up for re-election so he was never going to disqualify her.
Apparently it’s OK for her to lie to the Court but nobody else. Man, these judges and prosecutors are twisting the law beyond all recognition to get Trump. Meanwhile, she will bounce Wade so fast your head will spin. The corruption runs so deep. Everywhere.”

Conservative comedian Tim Young wrote, “The Fulton County judge ruled that Fani Willis must either step aside from the Trump case or remove her lover, Nathan Wade. So basically nothing will happen to Willis even though she blatantly abused her power. Both Willis and Wade should be disbarred and removed from office.”

Attorney Alan Dershowitz blasted McAfee over his decision, saying, “We all know there was an actual conflict of interest here. He just doesn’t have the guts to say it!”
“This is a scandal. And the judge just didn’t have the courage to do the right thing. And judges often don’t, and they will find a way out. And this is a weaselly way out.”

David Limbaugh: “Adding insult to injury, the judge empowers the guilty party, Willis, to make her own decision, and in effect to become her own judge. What a copout. Disgusting. She is rewarded rather than punished and weaponization of our justice system continues.”

Podcast host Megyn Kelly wrote: “Before this scandal was unearthed by defense attny Ashley Merchant, things were rolling along for Fani W. She’s now been publicly humiliated and disgraced. Her ethical & legal probs are only just beginning. I’m not at all confident she will try this case v Trump. She will be under multiple investigations by then.
“She gets to remain on the case thx to a judge who pulled a cowardly John Roberts. But her probs are only beginning … and getting Wade off of this case is a superhuman feat by the defense. He’s been outed (as has she) as a liar/schemer. So – not entirely what the defense wanted (or deserved) but still Team Trump is in much better shape today than 3 mos ago in GA.”
