GEORGIA ON MY MIND

The hullaballoo about Fulton County, GA DA Fani Willis and one of the appointed prosecutors in the Trump case is great tabloid feed, but makes no difference on whether Trump faces the music.

If it turns out that DA Willis is personally profiting from hiring a man she is involved with, as some defense counsel allege in their motions, she should be taken off the case and a special prosecutor appointed to try the case. It’s also a matter for the state bar, the local legislature that approves funds, and the voters. But unless there is proof that the relationship impacted the evidence or procedure of the case to Trump’s detriment, it doesn’t have any bearing on his criminal case. Actually, it sounds like this hired prosecutor is a neophyte at this kind of case; obviously, any replacement will be top-notch, like the ones who nailed Trump and his crooked company in NY State.

Thus far, while the defense motions have alleged a relationship, they have offered no proof, but of more significance, they say not a word about how any of this tainted the evidence before the grand jury, or how it impaired Trump’s defense of violated his due process rights in any way at all. As a matter of law, that means they don’t have anything to show.

When Judge McAfee hears this case in Georgia next month (he is an excellent jurist), he will focus solely and exclusively on what bearing any of this has on the current prosecution; if he finds it has, out goes Ms. Willis and the appointee, in comes a tough-as-nails prosecutor who will keep Trump & team up…
