Georgia Court of Appeals Will Review Ruling Keeping Fani Willis on Trump’s Georgia Case
The decision delays Trump’s Georgia case.
The Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia will review the decision allowing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to stay on former President Donald Trump’s Georgia election case.
Trump “may file a Notice of Appeal within 10 days of the date of” the order.
The Court did not specify when it will review the case. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution said the court is “not known for moving swiftly.”
Trump and some of his co-defendants argued Willis should be removed due to her relationship with then-Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade, citing a conflict of interest.
Judge Scott McAfee said Willis could stay if Wade stepped down.
Wade stepped down on that day.
McAfee also granted a “certificate of immediate review,” allowing Trump to appeal to the Georgia Court of Appeals. Seven of the co-defendants requested the certificate, too.
“President Trump looks forward to presenting interlocutory arguments to the Georgia Court of Appeals as to why the case should be dismissed and Fulton County DA Willis should be disqualified for her misconduct in this unjustified, unwarranted political persecution,” said Steve Sadow, the lead attorney for Trump.
The Court might not even hear the case until 2025:
Fulton Superior Court must first prepare the record from the first round of the removal fight and send it to the appeals court. Only then can the case be docketed and a panel of three judges be assigned via the court’s computer system, according to Christina Cooley Smith, deputy court administrator for the Court of Appeals.
It is then up to the judges to decide when they would like to hear oral argument, said Smith, but the matter must be decided within two terms of court. That means that if it’s docketed before July, it would need to be heard and decided before mid-March 2025.

Fani’s Fanny is in a crack.
I have purchased an Olympic sized pool to capture the tears of the nimrods on this site who were salivating and swooning over their “WE GOT HIM NOW” screeching.
You can charge Trump with a Million Bazillion Gazillion crimes, but you don’t get results if you can’t get your case through the court.
The dim bulb from Fulton County is now on the hot seat herself, the proceedings cannot continue before 2025, so I hope Trump goes full Dictator using all legal means to persecute the left in retaliation.
I hope the “D” was worth it. Now she doesn’t have Trump or the “D”
And the true beauty of it all is that Democrats will have done this all to themselves! 😂😂
Yes, by all means, you should advocate that Trump go full dictator if he is elected. That’s a good campaign slogan, according to you: “Elect Trump, so he can go full dictator!” You are the reason that Trump is likely to lose.
What, pray tell, is wrong with using legal means to show democrats the error of their ways? Why shouldn’t the IRS audit the hell out of Fanni? Her testimony showed some financial oddities. Wanna bet she paid taxes on everything? Why shouldn’t the DOJ Civil Rights Division start investigating her office’s hiring practices? There are clearly problems there. Why shouldn’t the FBI (ha!) start looking at her for corruption? She’s certainly provided enough through her testimony and public statements for at least that much.
And why shouldn’t the same happen in Detroit and Chicago and Newark and New York?
Knowing that in their zeal that they broke so many laws is why they are worried. Soon it will be be their time to be held accountable.
Knowing that before their zeal they routinely broke all sorts of laws, because they could.
Under the scrutiny they’ve created, it comes out.
I see you are here commenting again. I guess you have finished molesting prepubescent girls, and have now come up for air.
“Trump is likely to lose.”
Now JR is a soothsayer, a prognosticator, a modern day Nostradamus – all while diddling young girls and boys.
You are sooo talented.

There may not be enough tears from LI nimrods… there are a few.. but overall, people here are reasonable. Trump fans or not, the lawfare is obvious….
BTW, Mark Levin, said that Fani should have been disbarred based on her campaign tactics.. She got a huge pass already.
There is a lot going on in Georgia. In a single County, Fani’s Fulton, 300,000 ballots counted are missing the auto photo image it was reported yesterday. Hmmm. Wonder why that is? One guess….they were a small number of ballots counted over and over again simply by refeeding them in the tally machine.
Too bad nobody was allowed to investigate that in November of 2020, All according to the plan, I’m sure.
What’s been uncovered in Georgia shocks the conscience (I live in Georgia). The evidence is now overwhelming that Trump – and likely the two GOP Senators – all won their elections in 2020. The media will, of course, bury this story like month-old trash. But even worse, the one ‘conservative’ cable news channel will also ignore it because that’s what they do after their laughable settlement with Dominion.
They outright lied about Dominion, and deserved to lose.
They did this in Detroit.
That’s not possible, because they did a hand recount which confirmed the result. Therefore any fraud was not in the count but in the ballots themselves.
Fani is fried! This is what happens when stupid meets entitlement. That is true “intersectionality” FJB
Stupid meets entitlement meets diversity-electee.
That is Fat Fani, almost as ugly as Abrams.
I don’t know…. My take is the silver backed gorilla Letitia James has a bigger claim on ugly. She’s so ugly (physically and in her heat) that even ugly people say “Damn, she ugly.”
I think the question is: Is it more to their advantage in the lawfare game to prolong this through the election, or to “get him” before election day?
I wonder how much debate there is going on at high levels behind the scenes as to which is better. I’m guessing those who think Trump will win against a bunch of the charges want to keep him “accused” as long as they can.
Democrats need a conviction as they simply have nothing else to run on.
I mean look at the documents case in how the FBI doctored photos and sent those out to a salivating Democrat media and how they used those false documents in their propoganda.
Like this case, it didn’t matter those photos were contrived and fake as they needed the propoganda for their own political ends because had they been honest that case, like this one, would never have seen the light of day.
Honesty.
Now there’s a long lost virtue, no longer to be found in the (D)emocrat lexicon.
I wouldn’t make that narrow of an indictment.
“…look at the documents case in how the FBI doctored photos and sent those out…”
The news cycles on both sides are missing the interesting part of the latest development.
The feds were holding the doc boxes, then told TrumpWorld to get their stuff, because the process of resolving who keeps what with the archive was taking too long. They said that out loud.
— If it was intelligence, those feds also held it.
— They demanded TrumpWorld take it, so thought their possession was OK? Thought their facilities and security good enough? Transfer of controlled information to improper recipients is a big no-no, unless your name is Clinton or Biden, it seems.
— The disposition wrangle with the archives was a real thing.
Feels almost like a set up eh.
– Here, come get your stuff.
– So you go get your stuff.
– OPEN UP, THIS IS THE FBI AND WE SUSPECT YOU HAVE STOLEN TOP SECRET INFORMATION!!!
The other unaddressed question here is whether Willis, as a County DA, has jurisdiction or if the authority to investigate and refer charges related to election law violations is the State Elections Board. One of the co defendants has raised this issue and at first blush seems to have a pretty good argument about proper jurisdiction.
As we’ve seen with McAfee, good arguments take a back seat to political consideration
The original plan (well, hardly “original”, but an old and tested standby) was to get convictions at the lowest level, before the election. It was always understood that these cases would fail upon appeal at some level, but that ultimate failure was irrelevant as long as it occurred -after- the elections.
Remember the battle is only for low-information, indecisive and easily swayed voters (Hey! I did NOT say morons out loud!). Most voters (roughly 90 percent of them) have fixed ideas and voting patterns. They’re split roughly 45% R and 45%D. A small percentage on either side can be lured away to a third-party candidate. The remaining voters are the ones swayed by the news of the moment, or “the stay-out-of-its”.
Something dramatic can lure the lazy out of their chairs, and if it’s an ‘October Surprise’ it can pull some of the Undecided either way. For the R’s this has to be enough to overwhelm the 2 or 3 percent the D’s can generate through fraud.
What’s the political makeup of the GA SC?
The good news is every sitting Justice was appointed by a Republican governor. The bad news is the two GOP governors who made those appointments were Deal & Kemp, two of the least reliable Republican governors imaginable. Rather than conservative Republicans, they’re both more like Good Ol’ Boy Republicans (southern Republicans who are looking to enrich themselves and their other Good Ol’ Boys more than anything else).
The GA Supreme Court does not enjoy a reputation as a ‘conservative’ court. It’s been very moderate in most issues that come before it, perfectly mirroring the political ideology of the two men who appointed them all.
Fanni got her wig or dress on backwards?
Looking at Willis, Bragg, et al, how much of this just boils down to, “get whitey!”?
fani explained her defense
if I got in trouble everytime I f’d someone
Id be vp now
the street armies of 2020 assured the corrupt “told” outcome of 2020 election
why would anything change unless there was something to
offset THAT ????
In a sane world, a court would look at the situation and say on one hand we have a president who questioned the integrity of the election and on the other hand we have a prosecutor who overpaid her associate with tax dollars and that assistant then took those tax dollars and spent it on her…
WHO is the criminal here?
