The quest to disqualify Willis

[Crepitus]

Doesn't actually seem to be going that well for you guys.

shleigh Merchant, the lawyer for Donald Trump co-defendant Michael Roman, hit a roadblock Tuesday in her efforts to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the sweeping election interference case in Georgia.

During a hearing on misconduct allegations against Willis, Judge Scott McAfee blocked a string of questions Merchant had for Terrence Bradley, the former law partner and divorce attorney of special prosecutor Nathan Wade, about when he first learned of the romantic relationship between Willis and Wade.

McAfee agreed with the district attorney's office when it objected to Merchant's questioning, saying that it was based on "gossip, innuendo, assumption and privileged information" and that she had not established any basis for her interrogation.

the prosecution is trying as hard as they can to badger the witness into making something up but so far unsuccessfully and the judge is getting tired of it.

It takes time, sometimes a lot of time, but the Trump curse always strikes back at those who try to take him down. It's a thing of beauty to behold...

I think you mean "the defense," not "the prosecution."

Flatback Fani is the prosecution. For now.

You mean “everything Trump touches dies”

We’re well aware

Atlanta we have a problem

Willis disqualified herself...

This illustrates just how reprehensible Trump supporters truly are.

Trump committed treasonous, historic crimes: attempting to overturn a presidential election, disenfranchise millions of Americans, and disrupt the peaceful transfer of power – yet conservatives don’t want Trump to be lawfully punished for his crimes.

Going after a former president over trivial shit is what is reprehensible especially one who was far better at the job than the current POS....

There was enough questions that he looked extremely bad on that any normal person would see he was desperately trying not to answer the questions and failing miserably. He stunk up the courtroom like rotting anchovies.

Their quest is futile

MAGA, you got to try harder.

Testimony from the defense star witness blow up in their faces.

He clearly states that he has no personal knowledge of the affair and what defense presented was speculation

That is his testimony in court and very precise wording needed in a court room setting

Cell phone data. Well since this data was obtain by Trumps defense lawyers. It can only confirm that he was in the area and not what he was doing

Also there are some privacy issues as this data was obtain by the defense.

Usually this type of information can be gotten with judge approval and a warrant. There are privacy issues involved. It also only shows he was in the area and not what he was doing. Supreme court has ruled on this and does require a warrant.

Defense hiring expert to get this data is questionable as it concerns privacy issues

Prosecution has offered the following - The DA’s office also argued that there is evidence showing Willis and Wade were not in the same place on the dates listed, including “at work at the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office AND VISTING THE THREE CRIME SCENES WHERE A MASS MURDER MOTIVATED BY RACE AND GENDER BIAS HAD TAKEN PLACE.”

The judge needs to get control of this hearing and focus it back on what is the real issues and who is being prosecuted

Tabloid speculation and gossip does not belong in court

I would suspect as this is a high profile case that the judge is being pretty lenient.

Given the unique nature of cell phone location records, the fact that the information is held by a third party does not by itself overcome the user’s claim to Fourth Amendment protection … we hold that an individual maintains a legitimate expectation of privacy in the record of his physical movements as captured through CSLI. The location information obtained from Carpenter’s wireless carriers was the product of a search.

Supreme court says it clearly in a split decision

Which part of this was "trivial"?

They really can't. they've run out of qualified lawyers

 

[lennypartiv]

More patriotic Americans should have protested the stolen election.

It so sad to see patriots sitting in jail while their leader walks free

Its imperative that Trump joins them

Those sitting in jail will feel a solidarity with Trump and maybe the time in jail will go faster

Also since Trump feels that black people prefer gangsters then he will fill another solidarity as the "Don" will speak their language.

Trump will be popular in jail as they will fight over him

All the Don needs to do is kick some ass and they will respect him in the morning
