Closing Arguments in Fight to Disqualify Fani Willis

No link yet.



In listening to these lawyers trying to impune Wilkis & Wade's characters, they sound like nothing more than a bunch of old biddies gossiping about those yung uns & their free love.
Seriously. These people actually call themselves "lawyers".

4. Thanks for this post. It's so hard to watch this hearing. These defense lawyers of those RICO defendants

are really trying to bring down Fani Willis.

To me, I've only heard rhetorical hyperbole -- haven't heard any evidence.

investigating Trump and exchanged emails. Trump and the Republicans made a huge deal out of it, claiming it proved the deep state was conducting a witch hunt. Strzok was fired and Page resigned. Trump is hoping it happens again.

That's not the way that works though. It should, but when you have a convicted rapist, mentally declining, treasonous Putin ass kisser like trump disparaging another black woman he also called a racist. If it hadn't have been this made up sex scandal and made up money stealing scheme that fell apart, he'd have found something else to delay, delay, delay. Just saying.

12. The Judge Sounds Very Open to Defendants' Disqualification Arguments

I did not expect this. This judge may disqualify Fani Willis. The whole motion to disqualify her sounds like total BS to me.

Despite the judges open mind! After the notes started coming things seemed a little better. 😂
