Fani Willis Gets a New Court Date

Original Article

Posted By: Beardo, 7/16/2024 6:41:10 PM

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been handed a new court date in her election subversion case against former President Donald Trump. It was announced Tuesday that on December 5, a panel of three Republican-appointed Georgia appeals court judges would hear Trump's appeal seeking to disqualify Willis from the case due to her relationship with former prosecutor Nathan Wade. The change will pause the already delayed case until one month after this year's presidential election. If Trump wins the election, the case would almost certainly remain on hold until his next presidential term is over, if not be thrown out entirely. The appeal had previously been scheduled for October 4.

This is a pretty garbled report. The appellate court set Dec. 5 as the date for hearing the appeal. The headline misleadingly implies that a trial is scheduled for that date. Fani Willis "got" the date along with everybody else involved, and it's not about her subversion case but rather about her potential disqualification. The appeals process will certainly drag out beyond inauguration day. When the appeals court makes its decision and issues an opinion, the case may be sent back to the trial court for further proceedings (or not). That probably takes another 30 days (although I don't know Georgia procedural rules). Then the trial court will set new deadlines and a new trial date, probably a few months further down the road.

Sounds like a small plus for Trump. Doesn't it - without deciding anything - prevent Willis from being a nuisance during the election campaign?

I hope someone sues her for misusing her office which would open up the discovery of the phones, texts, emails, etc... to see who she was getting instructions from (likely someone connected to DC area) and how they were colluding a lawfare cases across state jurisdictions.

Why hasn't this case been thrown out based on the immunity ruling? At a minimum if it starts up again. that will be an issue.

Fani has more problems than just to be disqualified. Georgia is investigating her for hiring and paying her boy toy without proper authorizations. If she gets kicked off this case, it goes to another DA, who in all likelihood will end the case. Of the four cases facing Trump, one is gone, two are on life support, and the fourth will be overturned upon appeal due to the fact that the judge in charge is an idiot.

A group in New Delhi known as Hindu Sena (“Hindu Army”) prayed for the safety of U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Tuesday, describing him as the only “global leader” who “has the courage to speak against radical Islam and its followers.” Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, so Hindu Sena hung a poster of Trump next to an idol of Baglamukhi — the Hindu goddess of protection — dabbed a vermilion holy mark on Trump’s forehead, and made burnt offerings to pray for the former — and possibly future — president’s life.

President Joe Biden has been holding a series of calls with the various factions in the House Democratic Caucus, and they’ve not gone well. The call with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus devolved into total mayhem last week. On top of being late to the call, Rep. Mike Levin (D-CA) called on Biden to step aside directly, leading to the call's abruptly ending. No one could ask the president questions. It was very much the controlled, guard-railed, and staged antics that have marked this presidency. It’s all a show, with no real action or governing. A call with the Congressional Progressive Caucus had this awkward moment.
