Summary
To many people’s surprise, the judge overseeing the Fulton County RICO case ruled Friday that DA Fani Willis would not be disqualified from the case (so long as the man she was having an affair with stepped down).
Meaning that in order to remain on the case, all Fani Willis had to do was fire Nathan Wade—after she had already paid him a cool $600,000 in taxpayers’ money. In the 23-page ruling, Judge Scott McAfee did not exactly mince his words. Instead, he wrote that either Willis or Wade would have to go because the entire case now has an “odor of mendacity”—meaning it reeks of untruthfulness. And lo, within hours of the judge’s ruling being made public, Nathan Wade resigned from his position as special prosecutor. Let’s go through what this means for the case, as well as for President Donald Trump’s electoral prospects.🇺🇸 Epoch Times 25¢ Sale: https://ept.ms/RomanSale1

| 0:16.4 | President Trump, he just ruled earlier today that Fannie Willis is not |
| 0:20.6 | disqualified from the case so long as the man she was having an affair with |
| 0:24.4 | steps down. Meaning that in order to remain on the case all Fannie Willis has to do is to |

| 0:47.4 | means words, as he wrote that either Willis or Wade have to go because the entire case now has an odor of mendacity around it, meaning it reeks of untruthfulness. |
| 0:57.0 | Here specifically what he wrote, quote, this finding is by no means an indication that the court |
| 1:01.0 | condones this tremendous lapse in judgment or the |
| 1:04.3 | unprofessional manner of the district attorney's testimony during the |
| 1:07.2 | evidentiary hearing. Rather, it is the undersigned opinion, meaning the |
| 1:11.2 | judge's opinion, that Georgia law does not permit the |
| 1:13.6 | finding of an actual conflict for simply making bad choices, even repeatedly and |
| 1:17.7 | it is a trial court's duty to confine itself to the relevant issues and |

| 1:24.0 | Without sufficient evidence that the district attorney acquired a personal stake in the prosecution |
| 1:28.5 | or that her financial arrangements had any impact on the case, |
| 1:31.6 | the defendant's claim of an actual conflict must be denied. |
| 1:35.0 | Furthermore, the judge wrote that questions are still up in the air regarding the timeline of the relationship, |
| 1:40.8 | as well as the payments that Nathan Wade made when the two of them |
| 1:44.2 | took flights and cruise trips together. However, despite those lingering questions, |
