Yet Trump wasn’t the target for possible gag orders and McAffee’s zingers, #FaniWillis was.
Via Kyle Griffin:
Judge Scott McAfee had written his order on Willis and Wade early last week, according to NBC News, but because he had been receiving threats, he waited to make it public in order to allow for proper security to be in place for him and his family.
#NathanWade has resigned from his role leading the investigation of #Trump, & #FaniWillis, the #FultonCounty DA, has accepted it, acc/to letters from the 2 prosecutors just released.
#Wade’s resignation paves the way for #Willis to keep pursuing the case against Trump & his allies after today's ruling from Judge Scott #McAfee.
@Nonilex
Judge Scott #McAfee did two things:
(a) found for Fani #Willis
(b) excoriated Willis and #NathanWade.with no effect other than suggesting Wade be booted and inviting a motion for a gag order.
McAfee will be reelected. Republicans will be happy with the words. Democrats will be happy Willis is back on the case.
Wade will be okay. On his next cases, he'll make more than Fulton County was paying.
#GymJordan: Ms #Willis, did you have an ill-advised, albeit consensual relationship with a man?
#FaniWillis: Mr Chairman, you’ll hear people say from time to time how they can’t help who it is they fall in #love with. Less common are expressions of how easy they find it to ignore for years the cries of athletes under their care being abused by their doctors at #OhioState University. Next question.
The #evidence against #Trump & his 17 co-defendants in #Georgia is the same whether presented by Fani #Willis or any other prosecutor. The same.
Would it have made a difference in their deliberations If the grand jurors knew or suspected that Willis was having an affair with a co-worker? Maybe, but only if it caused them to doubt the evidence. After all. Willis wasn't a jilted lover of Trump or a co-defendant or one of their attorneys.
