Corrupt Democrat Fulton County DA Fani Willis has no officially been kicked off the biased “election interference” case she bright against Donald Trump. This means it is a dead case at last.
On Thursday, the Georgia Court of Appeals has officially disqualified Willis from the case opened in 2020 in an attempt to destroy Trump ahead of his 2024 run for president.
The 31-page decision ruled that there was, in fact, a conflict of interest when Willis hired her sex partner, special prosecutor Nathan Wade, to prosecute Trump, but never disclosed her relationship with him.
Citing the “appearance” standard, the three-judge panel concluded that the “significant” “appearance of impropriety” was obviously “improper.”
“While we recognize that an appearance of impropriety generally is not enough to support disqualification, this is the rare case in which disqualification is mandated and no other remedy will suffice to restore public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings,” the court said and added that the previous “remedy” was insufficient.
After carefully considering the trial court’s findings in its order, we conclude that it erred by failing to disqualify DA Willis and her office. 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. While we recognize that an appearance of impropriety generally is not enough to support disqualification, this is the rare case in which disqualification is mandated and no other remedy will suffice to restore public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings.
Accordingly, we reverse the trial court’s denial of the appellants’ motion to disqualify DA Willis and her office. As we conclude that the elected district attorney is wholly disqualified from this case, “the assistant district attorneys — whose only power to prosecute a case is derived from the constitutional authority of the district attorney who appointed them — have no authority to proceed.” McLaughlin v. Payne, 295 Ga 609, 613 (761 SE2d 289) (2014) (distinguishing between absolute disqualification of elected district attorney and disqualification of elected district attorney from serving as an advocate at trial because he was appearing as a witness).
Here's the coup de grace:

This case is now toast. It is likely Willis will try and appeal the decision to the state Supreme court, but highly unlikely she will win.
