Stuck smack in the middle of downtown Idontgetitville

Can someone please point me in the direction of a clear, understandable explanation of how something that has absolutely no bearing on Trump's guilt or innocence can essentially delay or even end the case against him?

1. His legal team is following their media including Twitter

which follows what Dear Leader says.

2. Trumpworld. Everyone bows down to his wishes. Over and over.

3. Doesn't make sense to me either.

I watched the talking heads on MSNBC for a few minutes trying to explain why Willis should be removed. Confirmed my belief that Trump is the reason that there is a hearing, not the law.

4. Yup, that is the way of "Politics", plain and simple.

Well quite not so simple.

5. Does the judge make the final determination?

6. My understanding is that they must prove a conflict of interest to remove Fanni from the case.

That could mean material gain to herself or associates as a result of trying the case, or it could mean a personal grudge or relationship with the defendant.

From what I have seen, they are not effectively demonstrating such a conflict.

They are fishing for nuggets they can use against her and trying to besmirch her character and reputation.

I don't think any ruling in this case would stop the prosecution, but if Willis and Wade are removed, it could mean a long delay in order for a new team to come in and start over.

7. What folks said above, and I also think this muddies the waters of any conviction

and they'll use it as one of their reasons for an appeal.
