ATLANTA — Several other co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case have filed their own appeals over the ruling that allowed the Fulton County District Attorney to stay on the case and are asking that Fani Willis be removed from the case.
Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani, Cathy Latham, and Michael Roman all filed appeals Monday in the case. They now join former President Donald Trump and former Georgia GOP head David Shafer in appealing the ruling.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled that Willis could stay on the case if former special prosecutor Nathan Wade stepped down after several hearings were held over accusations that the two were having a romantic relationship.

Trump and his attorneys later submitted an appeal arguing the indictment should have been dismissed, and that Willis and her team should have been disqualified from the case. Now, several others are doing the same.
The Georgia Court of Appeals said it would look at the ruling last week.
Former DeKalb County District Attorney Robert James told Channel 2′s Richard Elliot that he thinks the appeals court should review the case since there’s very little legal precedent surrounding it.
“It’s uncharted territory,” James said.
But the bottom line is he thinks the review could take months and a trial against Trump and others won’t happen before the November election.
“I don’t see how that’s possible. Now, stranger things have happened, right? But just don’t see how that’s possible,” James said.

“Forget it, Jake, it’s Chinatown.”
The Georgia RICO case against Trump and the other defendants is going nowhere before November and probably nowhere even after then.
The Florida documents case is certainly not going anywhere soon and may actually be dismissed.
There is a good chance that SCOTUS will rule Trump had at least some level of immunity, even if they rule narrowly. In addition, they may rule for Fischer on the issue of “obstructing an official proceeding” which will also affect the charges against Trump.
All the left has remaining is the Bragg NY case of a NDA payment and how the accountants labeled it as a legal expense. Any conviction will be overturned by a higher court should there be a conviction.
The left is seeing their dreams of Trump in prison prior to November going up in smoke and during into a nightmare as Trump’s polling numbers continue to rise.
“Forget it, Jake, it’s Chinatown.”
You might have just added a new layer to the strata of that script, well done!
