Trump’s Georgia Trial: Fani Stays on the Case
Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee, overseeing the Georgia election-interference case against former President Donald Trump, declined to directly disqualify Fani Willis (“One of you has to go,” March 16).
However, he ruled that either she or special prosecutor Nathan Wade had to step aside from the case.
Did anyone expect her to be removed? After all, the judge made a political decision. He has an opponent in a Democratic primary in a Democrat-majority district.
He quickly quashed six indictments from the case to show that he’s fair to the defense. And yet his decision on Willis and Wade is like finding two thieves in a bank vault and only hauling one off to jail.
This a clear example that leftists face no accountability. It shows the two-tiered justice system in this country.

● Judge McAfee likely failed to realize that his decision to allow Willis to conditionally remain on the case against Trump will only delay the inevitable. John Peters

● After the recent judgment in the Willis case, can there be any doubt that the American justice system is totally compromised and nothing more than a joke?
Willis can stay on the case, but only if Nathan Wade goes. And then this travesty of justice against Trump can continue.
Likewise, progressive prosecutors can continue to prosecute Trump for classified documents, even though he was the president. Yet there are no charges against President Biden, even though as vice president he had no right to store classified documents. Michael Pacer Kingman, Ariz.
● In the state of Georgia’s case against Trump, it is evident that Willis lied under oath. And so did her lover and specialprosecutor hire.
Yet there are still no consequences for these crimes? Al Dilascia

● So Willis was not arrested for perjury. Nor was she thrown off the case or disbarred. This is both unbelievable and very believable at the same time. There seems to be no end to the legal double standard.
