Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis got some bad news.
Willis is no longer the darling of the Democrat Party.
And CNN flipped on Fani Willis in one devastating way.
As Liberal Hack Watch reports:
The media didn’t treat Judge Scott McAfee’s ruling that Willis could remain on the Trump case so long as she removed ex-lover Nathan Wade as special prosecutor as a victory.
That’s because in the ruling Judge McAfee accused Willis of lying on the witness stand about when her relationship with Wade began, acting unprofessionally both inside and outside the courtroom during her testimony and with comments in a black church smearing the defendants who motioned to disqualify her from the case as racists.
Over on CNN, former federal prosecutor Jeffrey Toobin summed up the state of the case as “an embarrassment” that is never going to trial before the general election.
“Today was a very good day for Donald Trump,” Toobin declared. “This case is going nowhere.”
“This case is never going to trial before the election,” Toobin added. “It’s an embarrassment. All of this. Fani Willis has hung on, but this case is going nowhere very quickly.”
CNN legal correspondent Paula Reid echoed those comments saying Willis’ clown car of misconduct was a “gift” to Donald Trump because voters would now view these criminal charges as a cartoonish attempt by corrupt Democrats to interfere in the 2024 election.
“It’s really a gift to former President Trump and his co-defendants because they’re not only going to fight this case on the merits, they’re fighting in the court of public opinion. Optics here matter,” she said. “He has tried to undermine trust in the justice system. And if you have a judge who is overseeing a case, calling the prosecutor, again, unprofessional, saying that she made a bad decision, she had a lapse in judgment, that is a lot of ammunition.”
Over on MSNBC, legal analyst Andrew Weissmann – who served as the lead prosecutor in Robert Mueller’s Russia collusion witch hunt – said this ruling was an “almost fatal blow” for Willis and that she has to resign from the case because the judge essentially deemed her an unprofessional liar.
“The key is how to go forward because clearly Wade is off, but I think this is such a huge body blow, almost a fatal blow to Fani Willis,” Weissmann told viewers. “I think the way forward is she has to voluntarily recuse herself. I don’t know that she has it in her, but I think she has to say I’m going to appoint a chief assistant who is going to oversee this case. She clearly has no credibility with this judge.”
Harsh condemnation from her ideological allies is the least of Willis’ worries.
The Georgia State Senate is investigating her conduct in the Trump witch hunt.
Governor Brian Kemp also just signed legislation empowering a state commission to remove rogue prosecutors who refuse to enforce the law.
And Judge McAfee’s opinion all but invited State Attorney General Chris Carr to indict Willis on perjury charges.
