The required "punishment" for the critics, and no practical impact to the case. Hopefully Willis also learned a little bit from this self-inflicted injury. The law was met and followed, but appearances can still undermine even the most honest efforts.

BTW - the judge was clear: No conflict of interest was demonstrated. He also doesn't take any swipes at Willis, but he does against Wade. That's why the choice was to separated Wade from the case.

That would be the cleanest way forward, and it will make no difference in the Trump teams approach. They will still go after the entire office saying the entire prosecution was corrupted from the start. There is no 'winning' by capitulating and taking the 'high' road.

I deeply and sincerely appreciate both Weissmann and Vance on legal matters, but when it comes to political analysis I would look elsewhere.

Pwned.

"all that really matters"

Corrupt to your core.

Gym Jordan is trying to help Trump by making a federal case against Willis based on the lies of a so-called whistleblower.
Have they ever had a legitimate whistleblower? Ever? Wow. I knew that particular witness had a vendetta, that was obvious, but misdirecting half a million?

Let's be honest about this. The judge is a Federalist Society judge. He's about as right-wing as they come. I had hoped for better from him. His demeanor is calm and quiet, and he appears to be fair. Then this.

This judge is acting just like Hur, Barr, Durham, Comey, etc. in finding no law was broken, but can't shut his mouth. This was particularly egregious, as he had to put that uppity woman in her place. I'm sure he believes she's a Democrat, and believes Wade was too. Unforgivable. He might as well be Gym Jordan or Comer.

Why can't Republicans judges just rule and leave it at that? I have no respect for this behavior on this judges part. There was no violation of Georgia law and yet he has to besmirch and denigrate, even proposing even more options for litigation by the defendants, and even suggesting the GA Bar, the State Ethics Commission, even the County Board of Commissioners might want to get involved.

Utterly shameless on his part. Incredible.
