meet Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee.
So, here's what transpired today:
Judge McAfee allowed Trump's lawyers to argue a frivolous challenge against Fulton County DA Fani Willis claiming she got money from her illegal relationship with Lead Prosecutor Nathan Wade in the Trump RICO trial.
The so-called evidentiary hearing to disqualify Willis from the Trump RICO case was full of lies and innuendos, but no real evidence.
McAfee went out of his way to put up with Ultra Trumper Ashleigh Merchant's repetitious accusations but as the hours crawled by his impatience was painted on his boyish face.
Hands down, Fani Willis was the star today. Wow! She roasted some ass right out of the gate. "So, let's be clear because you've lied in this," Willis snarled, pointing to copies she held of the filings and adding, "Right here, I think you lied right here."
After engaging in a tense back and forth with Ashleigh Merchant, the attorney for defendant Mike Roman, Willis had the best line of the day, "You think I'm on trial. These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020," she charged, pointing towards the table of attorneys representing defendants in the criminal case.
"I'm not on trial, no matter how hard you try to put me on trial," she told the MAGA loyalists poising as real lawyers.
Ashleigh Merchant, who is leading the removal effort to get Willis off the case, said she had two witnesses to call Friday in what should be the last day of the hearing.
Judge McAfee said in closing today's hearing, "I'm not ruling on any of this tomorrow. This is something that's going to be taken under advisement on all aspects."
The goal according to McAfee is that the evidence phase will end tomorrow, and to take it from there. He also raised the prospect of scheduling final arguments from the parties at a later date.
Meanwhile, if you're interested in a REAL reality trial (with some drama) don't forget to tune in on Friday.
As it stands, I have a feeling court room dramas are going to be on everyone's must see trial TV for the rest of the year to find out if our judicial system can hold Trump accountable for his numerous crimes against our republic.
