Welp, it’s official: Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will not be disqualified from prosecuting the election interference RICO case against former President Donald Trump and more than a dozen remaining co-defendants—and, boy, MAGA America is unhappy about it.

As we previously reported, while Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee found Willis’ romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade brought about the “appearance of impropriety,” those optics alone do not prove corruption, and they certainly don’t prove either Wade or Willis gained anything financially just be engaging in a consensual adult relationship. He did, however, rule that due to the perceived impropriety, either Willis or Wade must step down from being personally involved in the case.

“Without sufficient evidence that the District Attorney acquired a personal stake in the prosecution, or that her financial arrangements had any impact on the case, the Defendants’ claims of an actual conflict must be denied,” McAfee wrote in his ruling.

In other words, RICO defendant Michael Roman’s legal team wasn’t able to prove anything outside of the fact Willis and Wade had a relationship—including that Willis paid Wade a higher salary than what prosecutors typically get paid, and that she spent taxpayer money on lavash vacations with him—which is why their little conflict of interest argument circled the drain and got flushed for lack of evidence, much like Trump’s voter fraud claims that got us here in the first place.

Anyway, right-wingers of the so-called ideology of “facts over feelings” are being really emotional and illogical while expressing outrage over McCaffe’s decision.

For Fani Willis to KEEP HER JOB on the Trump case, or even keep her law license after GPS data clearly showed she lied is INSANE. I have never seen a clearer case of perjury. There is no rule of law if attorneys can get away with that. pic.twitter.com/C3xmPDGgiM

Imagine if Fani Willis was White… She would have been removed and disbarred.

DEI is real.

We are officially a Banana Republic.

If I have this straight, the judge ruled that there was no conflict of interest, yet either Wade or Willis must resign from the case. If there’s not conflict, why does one have to resign?

Doublespeak.

It should surprise absolutely no one that a bunch of tinfoil MAGA hat-sporting QMorons can’t distinguish between things that were alleged by Willis’ accusers and things that were actually proven in court based on evidence.

Here’s Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene reminding us that she doesn’t actually know how anything works by implying that McAfee having donated to Fani Willis’ campaign four years ago before he was on the bench, is grounds for him to recuse himself from the case.

Sigh.

Judge McAfee donated a small sum to Fani Willis’s campaign in 2020—*before* he was appointed to the bench.

Georgia courts have held that nominal campaign contributions are an insufficient basis for judicial recusal.

There’s no basis for McAfee to recuse. pic.twitter.com/8qJCxszqyA

“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!” Greene tweeted. “Judge McAfee should have recused himself in the first place because of his obvious bias.”

Following Greene’s typical brand of anti-logic, it would be difficult for literally anyone in the legal field who has donated to a political campaign to become a judge who might preside over a politician’s case. 

Also, as it has been pointed out numerous times on social media, Republicans didn’t have this same energy when it came to the numerous allegations of ethics violations and conflict of interest regarding Justice Clarence Thomas, his Jan. 6-cheerleading wife Ginni Thomas, or their apparent billionaire bankroller, GOP donor Harlan Crow.

Clarence Thomas took decades of bribes from a billionaire

Alito takes luxury trips funded by billionaires and religious orgs

Gorsuch sold his million-dollar property to a lawyer with cases before him

And you guys want Fani Willis WHO DID NOTHING WRONG to recuse?!

No f’ing way

Ok, let me get this straight. It was ruled Fani Willis displayed the appearance of impropriety because of an affair.
But Clarence Thomas can accept lavish gifts of 38 vacations, 26 private jet flights, VIP tickets & luxury resorts. But no one says anything. pic.twitter.com/qyxKnHIdcS

If the 4th estate can scrutinize Fani Willis, surely they can find time to explicate the (proven) nefarious deeds of this woman. Who tried to block the peaceful transfer of power, remains the 24/7 confidant of an indicted despot’s high court enabler, yet gets a pass by everyone. pic.twitter.com/XzqdJ4QqHz

If you think Fani Willis’s affair had the appearance of impropriety, wait til you hear about who Clarence Thomas is married to. pic.twitter.com/xMKdgKZkW0

If you’re calling for Fani Willis to recuse herself over the “appearance of impropriety”, but you’re totally fine with bought and paid for Clarence Thomas ruling on cases in which his wife is directly involved, kindly shut the fuck up and have all the fucking seats.

Anyway, while the MAGA minions who must have gotten their legal degrees from the same cereal box Heschel Walker probably got his police badge from were flooding the internet with white tears, cooler heads were celebrating the decision and reminding people that the same people who are mad at Willis, Wde and McAfee are backing an ex-president who responded to his election loss by engaging in a propaganda campaign to overturn an election that has been proven to be fair and legal over and over again.

For anyone who is confused about what Judge McAfee decided, Donald Trump is the criminal. Not Fani Willis. pic.twitter.com/wB25I8fkRK

Now bury this orange heathen under the jail. No election win for the Presidency can protect him from being ordered to the Georgia Department of Corrections. Fani Willis & her office can continue their prosecution so long as Special Prosecutor Wade is removed. The decision is odd…

— Jasmine Crockett (@JasmineForUS) March 15, 2024

Fani Willis didn’t exercise bad judgement. Fani Willis had a private affair which was made public to smear her, because the defendants she has in her sights know they have a serious problem with guilt.

Don’t lose focus of who is on trial and why!

They tried to steal an election.

Then they thought they could take Fani Willis out because she had the audacity to seek accountability because…they tried to steal an election. pic.twitter.com/LeNrkdoAvs

The most interesting thing about the consensual relationship between DA Fani Willis and Nathan Wade is that Donald trump tried to overturn the fucking election in 2020.

— BrooklynDad_Defiant! (@mmpadellan) March 15, 2024

No, MAGA shitheels, Fani Willis did not commit perjury. If she had, Judge McAfee would’ve cited it in his decision. But the whole thing is a red herring to this simple fact:
Your boy tried to change vote totals in an attempt to steal an election. And it’s on tape, bitches.

At the end of the day, the case against Willis and Wade was never about their relationship. It has never even been explained in a non-convoluted way what their relationship even has to do with Trump or how it would affect the ex-president’s ability to receive a fair trial. Trump supporters thought the flimsy case against Willis would give their messiah an out, and now they’re throwing a temper tantrum because it didn’t work.

Let them cry.
