Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis just got humiliated by a judge — again.
Remember, if you will: After former President Joe Biden “won” the 2020 presidential election, the knives came out for Donald Trump, and it seemed just about everybody with a law degree tried to ruin him.
You had the crusading former Attorney General Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice launching multiple investigations, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg trying get to get his by using a “novel” legal theory to charge him with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, the TDS-riddled AG of New York, Letitia James, filing a civil suit against him for allegedly overvaluing his real estate holdings, and you had columnist E. Jean Carroll suing with her preposterous story of a department store sexual assault decades ago.
All along the way, we saw judges like NY’s Arthur Engoron and New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Manuel Merchan routinely ruling against Trump and bending the law to fit the preferred outcome (which of course was always, destroy Orange Man).
Most of the cases have been dropped or are in various stages of appeal.
And then there was Willis, who in 2023 thought she could nail the then-former president on Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) charges alleging interference in the 2020 election. She forgot a basic rule, however: You probably shouldn’t have an affair with your lead counsel while prosecuting a case; it’s a bad look. The Georgia Court of Appeals eventually tossed her off the case for “appearance of impropriety.”
Trump and the other defendants want their legal fees reimbursed by the DA’s office — nearly $17 million worth — and Fani wants her say in the matter.
Yeahhhhhh!!!! Good!!!
