Conflict of Interest? Judge Who Donated To Fani Willis’ 2020 Campaign Rules Willis Can Continue Trial Against Trump, But Not With Wade (Video)

On Friday, Judge Scott McAfee ruled that Fulton County Prosecutor Fani Willis can remain on the case against former President Donald Trump provided that Nathan Wade, fellow prosecutor and ex-lover, is either removed by Willis or voluntarily resigns.

This, despite Willis perjuring herself under oath about the length of her relationship with Wade.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

But it gets even better.  The Gateway Pundit reminds us that Judge McAfee donated to Willis’ 2020 campaign.  So did his wife.

No conflict of interest there, right?

That’s about right.

Breitbart added:

McAfee found the two former lovers only engaged in an “appearance of impropriety,” which should result in Willis leaving her office if Wade is not removed from the case.

“[T]he prosecution is encumbered by an appearance of impropriety,” he wrote. “As the case moves forward, reasonable members of the public could easily be left to wonder whether the financial exchanges have continued resulting in some form of benefit to the District Attorney, or even whether the romantic relationship has resumed,” he continued. “As long as Wade remains on the case, this unnecessary perception will persist.”

McAfee ruled the former lovers’ relationship produced no “actual conflict” that would force Willis from the case.

“Without sufficient evidence that the District Attorney acquired a personal stake in the prosecution, or that her financial arrangements had any impact on the case, the Defendants’ claims of an actual conflict must be denied,” the judge found:

This finding is by no means an indication that the Court condones this tremendous lapse in judgment or the unprofessional manner of the District Attorney’s testimony during the evidentiary hearing. Rather, it is the undersigned’s opinion that Georgia law does not permit the finding of an actual conflict for simply making bad choices — even repeatedly — and it is the trial court’s duty to confine itself to the relevant issues and applicable law properly brought before it.

And the politicized lawfare continues.
