Okay, I’ll admit it: I didn’t have Tennessee Williams on my reading list today. But I did read Judge Scott McAfee’s opinion that scathes Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis while nevertheless allowing her to continue running the RICO prosecution against former President Donald Trump and 18 others. I would thus observe, as a former prosecutor, that if a judge is talking about you when he describes the “odor of mendacity” wafting through the courtroom, you ought to leave the proceedings voluntarily . . . and maybe start thinking about your next career move. Your useful time on a case is over.
I said in the post previewing today’s Georgia state court ruling that Judge McAfee seemed to be signaling that he would pull up short of disqualifying Willis. That, in the event, is what happened. As our Ryan Mills reports, McAffee allowed Willis to remain on the case as long as she removes her assertedly former lover, Nathan Wade, as special prosecutor.
