Georgia’s highest court has declined to consider Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ appeal of her removal from the Georgia election interference case against President Donald Trump and others.

Citing an “appearance of impropriety” created by a romantic relationship Willis had with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, whom she had hired to lead the case, the Georgia Court of Appeals in December ruled that Willis and her office could not continue to prosecute the case.

    No. Well. It depends on who you believe, but even Willis’ testimony was that they were still dating up until she hired him which would be about a year, maybe a little more. The judge found her and others’ testimony hard to believe.

    It’s a ridiculous argument to make but the State pooched itself.
