Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsThe DA finally said something that has been in the back of my mind, the whole time about the Fani Willis case.
That the rights of the defendant were not affected by the relationship of Willis and Wade. Thats what I think the Trump lawyers have been trying to hint, but theres really been no proof of that. And on that basis, they should throw this thing out quickly.

I think that's the legal terminology.

It might be a gross miscarriage of justice. It might not. I think we're all hoping for the latter, DA Willis has been brilliant. This has been nothing but an exercise in slut shaming, a desperate attempt by a guilty client to get a less competent prosecutor in his case.
As for the little weasel, I'm sure some right wing organization in search of another yes man will hire him.

(5,498 posts)Fani had a short term relationship with a co-worker/equal that did not interfere with their job.
In fact they were doing just fine until the dump team came in to crap on the court, and McAfee has to now clean it up, or the smell WILL be memorialized in the history books next to his name.

(7,051 posts)However, she's black and they can't stand that an intelligent black woman is about to take down an old white guy.
That just won't fly in the South. She should umm... "know her place" according to those turds.
Notice how they are going batshit crazy about losing (easily I might add) to a black woman in Letitia James in New York. They are also going after Alvin Bragg.
Hmmm.... what do Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, and Fani Willis have in common?
Can't really put my finger on it.
What would "color" their actions so?

What we're seeing in Georgia and across the country is the institutional bias that protects "rich" white republican men from facing the consequences of their actions. Anyone else would be in prison by now.
Even if DA Willis were white, we would continue to see endless delays and bullshit motions because the defendant involved is a rich white republican man.
It looks like New York may be the one and only state in the country where a rich white republican man doesn't get a pass, at least not after his crimes are exposed. Obviously, tRump ran his criminal operations in NY for decades prior to being exposed and finally held accountable.
