Peter Skandalakis, who took over for Fani Willis, moved to dismiss all charges against President Donald Trump and 14 defendants in the Fulton County election interference case.
“Given the complexity of the legal issues at hand — ranging from constitutional questions and the Supremacy Clause to immunity, jurisdiction, venue, speedy-trial concerns, and access to federal records — and even assuming each of these issues were resolved in the State’s favor, bringing this case before a jury in 2029, 2030, or even 2031 would be nothing short of a remarkable feat,” Skandalakis wrote in his filing.
My goodness. Who could forget the drama?
In December, the Georgia Court of Appeals disqualified Fulton County DA Fani Willis from the case due to her relationship with former special prosecutor Nathan Wade.
“The remedy crafted by the trial court to prevent an ongoing appearance of impropriety did nothing to address the appearance of impropriety that existed at times when DA Willis was exercising her broad pretrial discretion about who to prosecute and what charges to bring,” wrote the court.
The nonpartisan Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia had to find a new prosecutor for the case.
Skandalakis serves as the organization’s executive director.
Skandalakis appointed himself as prosecutor when he could not find someone who wanted the role.
