Judge Scott McAffee and his wife previously donated to the campaign of Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis, so the decision today doesn’t exactly come as a surprise.
Judge McAffee doesn’t want to be the white guy who removes the black district attorney. So, instead he outlined all of the malfeasance, impropriety, lack of judgement, corruption and poor conduct, then tells the DA either her office or the special prosecutor she appointed needs to be removed. Heck, it’s almost as if McAffee is auditioning to be the next House Speaker.

But seriously, what level of judicial cowardice is needed to decline to remove the DA yet recommend a host of regulatory agencies to review and do the dirty deed, so he doesn’t have to?
Within hours special prosecutor Nathan Wade resigned, as Fani Willis swooned over their love connection.
ATLANTA – Nathan Wade, the Georgia special prosecutor hired by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to lead the election fraud case against Donald Trump, resigned just hours after a judge ruled that either he or Willis had to step down for the case to proceed.
Willis accepted Wade’s resignation in a letter released Friday afternoon and thanked the private lawyer, with whom she’d had a romantic relationship that threw the case into turmoil.
“I will always remember − and will remind everyone − that you were brave enough to step forward and take on the investigation and prosecution of the allegations that the defendants in this case engaged in a conspiracy to overturn Georgia’s 2020 Presidential Election,” Willis wrote. (read more)
MSNBC legal analyst Andrew Weissmann called for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to recuse herself from her Georgia election racketeering case focused on former President Donald Trump and a number of his allies.
Weissmann, also a professor and co-host of the Prosecuting Donald Trump podcast, defended Willis against allegations of a conflict of interest, noting Judge Scott McAfee said there was no evidence of such in his Friday ruling. McAfee ordered that either Willis or special prosecutor Nathan Wade be removed from the case. Willis was accused of engaging in an intimate relationship with Wade before he was hired onto the case, something they both denied. They admitted to a short relationship that began after he was hired.
Weissmann called the ruling by Judge McAfee “absolutely infuriating” on Friday’s Morning Joe shortly after it was released. (LINK)
She dindunuffin!…
Oh, and this judicial ruling can be appealed…. lolol
…And don’t forget, according to White House visitor logs, Mr. Nathan Wade visited White House lawyers prior to indictment of President Trump, while DA Willis met with staff (Mary McCord) from the January 6 Committee prior to the indictment. The scope of the political lawfare is in bright sunlight now.
The Georgia prosecutor, meeting with Biden lawyers prior to the indictment against Biden’s political opposition, is a big issue that has yet to surface in front of Judge McAfee.
Carry on!
