The tactic barely works, though.
The legal world could not let that stand without creating a tremendous domino effect; still, a sacrifice had to be made—
Nathan Wade had to go
He was the sacrificial lamb to appease the Gawds of Fairness.
Meidas Touch called it a while back, and I thought they might be right when they said this would be the outcome—Fani would stay, and Wade would go.
This decision would be McAfee’s way of splitting the baby and solving the “appearance of impropriety standard.”
I am sure Wade knew this might occur and was prepared for it, as was Fani.
Although the romance is over, I hope the two at least remain friends once the dust settles—I am not holding my breath; however, strong relationships have been destroyed for less.
Look Out Trump-World
As per Rawstory, MAGA-land is all kinds of upset; I mean, sure, they smeared her and lied about the facts of the case, but it was a strawman, and MAGA has to be peeved that savvy legal professionals saw through their BS.
With all the wailing and gnashing of teeth I hear in GA, I wonder how on earth I can enjoy my coffee and eggs benedict this fine morning—ya’ll it’s loud.
On the MAGA side of the coin, supporters of Trump were unhappy with the judge's ruling despite the scathing criticism he aimed at Willis by writing her defense of her actions had the "odor of mendacity.
In typical Trumpian fashion, one conservative took to X and wrote, "Fake judge."
"Fixed case!! Just like all the other witch hunt cases. Pure election interference!" accused one user who called themselves "Ultra Maga Wordsmith."
"Judge McAfee has ruled that Fani Willis can continue her racketeering case against Trump. I am absolutely SHOCKED that a guy who once worked for her, donated to her campaign and voted for her, also ruled in her favor. I'm totally shocked," sneered Trump supporter Brenden Dilley.
Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) who served in the White House under Trump, went off the rails, writing: "Another POLITICALLY MOTIVATED Judge!! Fani Willis should be DISBARRED, her boyfriend prosecutor should be FIRED, and ALL CHARGES NEED TO BE DROPPED! Americans are SICK of theses endless Witch Hunts! ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!"
Avid Trump supporter Ryan Fournier — who is not a lawyer — complained, "Appeals should be made. This is tainted on all levels."
Cry harder, MAGA—salty tears make everything taste better.
We needed the win
After the Department of Justice pulled the bullshit of handing over tens of thousands of documents in the Alvin Bragg election interference case last minute (legal eagles have been admonishing us for weeks to stop calling it the “hush money case”), creating a months-long delay (fuckers), I felt a trifle deflated.
It certainly underscored the dark swirling within my own private Idaho right now.
Suffice it to say in spite of the dumb, that my chin is still up, and my hope is renewed that Trump will finally meet the justice of a cold jail cell.
It’s no less than what he, and America, deserve.
