LOS ANGELES.–Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis got slapped in the face by a three-judge panel in Georgia’s appeals court, officially removing her from another Democrat-motivated case against 78-year-old President-elect Donald Trump and 14 other associates in a RICO racketeering case accusing the president and his associates to trying to overturn the 2020 Georgia presidential election. Democrats didn’t care the merits of the Aug. 14, 2023 case they only wanted to stop Trump from running for president in 2024. Will claimed in multiple indictments that Trump and his associates violated RICO laws to conspire to overturn the 2020 vote, all over a phone call Trump had with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Trump allegedly asked Raffensperger to find 11,779 votes, one more than what was needed to beat 82-year-old President Joe Biden.
Trump’s call to Raffensperger didn’t ask the Georgia Secretary of State to manufacture fake votes, he asked Raffensperger to check of the hundreds-of-thousands of votes counted, if there were any leftover votes not counted in the final totals. Yet DA Fani Willis took that as strong-arming Raffensperger to fabricate votes for Trump. Fani proceeded to charge Trump under Georgia’s RICO statute for also trying to submit an alternative slate of electors. Whether that was Trump proposal or not, it was not legally binding, simply an alternative list submitted for possible review. No law prohibits candidates from submitting alternative election slates, something the state can reject. When it came to Fani Willis, she was part of a wider conspiracy to charge Trump with multiple felonies in an effort to undermine his 2024 presidential campaign, something still playing out now in various places.
Willis was caught in a sex scandal with her lead prosecutor Nathan Wade, with whom Fani spoke despairingly about Trump and his associates, but, more importantly, used taxpayer funds to pay for lavish vacations to California’s Napa Valley wine country. Willis disclosed none of her conflicts-of-interest, eventually outed by former Fulton County prosecutor Robin Yeartie who said he saw Fani and Nathan hugging-and-kissing in Nov. 2021, well before Willis claimed she named Wade lead prosecutor in 2022. After months of hearings on Willis’ conflicts of interest, trial court Judge Scott McAfee ruled March 15, that Wade must be removed from the case. While Willis removed Wade, Trump’s attorney’s filed with the appeals court to have the case tossed out. Today, the appeals court removed Willis from the case but did not rule on whether the case should go on.
Democrats and the press had high hopes for Willis’ case against Trump, the same confidence they had for Special Counsel Jack Smith who charged Trump with multiple felonies for attempting to overturn the 2020 election with the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection and harboring classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence. Democrats and the press were certain Smith could prevail to convict Trump on multiple felonies but a series of reversals in the Supreme Court on presidential immunity upended Smith’s cases. Democrats and the press felt the same way in 2017 when Special Counsel Robert Mueller investigated Trump for colluding with the Kremlin to win the 2016 presidential election. Democrats thought they had their smoking gun to remove Trump from office. When Mueller said March 23, 2019 that Trump had no ties to Russia, Democrats were devastated.
Losing Fani Willis today, another Democrat political hack, pulls the rug out from underneath another fake legal case against Trump. Democrats were so convinced the Willis could convict Trump and his associates under Georgia’s RICO laws, now everything crashed with today’s appeals’ court ruling. “The remedy crafted by the trial court to prevent and ongoing appearance of of impropriety did nothing to address the appearance of impropriety that existed at times when DA Willis was exercising broad pretrial discretion about who to prosecute and what charges to bring,” said Appeals Court Judge Trenton Brown and Judge Todd Markle. Removing Willis as prosecutor is he final blow in another with hunt against Trump and associates, all designed to undermine his 2024 presidential campaign. Once Smith announced his resignation before year’s end, Democrats false hopes crashed.
Democrats and the corrupt U.S. media have paid a draconic price for all the partisan shenanigans played out in the 2024 campaign. Watching the U.S. press push to elect Vice President Kamala Harris turned independent voters against Kamala. Voters saw the way the press conspired with the Democrat Party to put their thumb on the 2024 election. Today’s ruling is just one more slap in the face for Democrats and the fake news, no longer in a position of influencing the public like they once did. Voters are suspicious of media gaslighting all for political purposes to advance a Democrat agenda. Now that Trump won the Nov. 5 election by a landslide, Democrats and the media play defensive, serving as resistance against anything Trump. If Democrats and the press don’t stop gaslighting the public, they could pay a worse price in 2026, losing even more ground.
