It looks like Fani Willis will stay on the Trump case—sort of. She can either remove herself from the case or remove her lover-boo, Nathan. What do you think she’ll do? Yeah, exactly.
She’ll try to use this to make herself a star. And can you imagine how that conversation will go, with her having to tell Nathan to pack his bags and get out? If a conversation is needed at all. I am sure Nathan-boo is waking up this morning, reading the headlines, and already knows he’s out. It’s Fani’s time to shine some more.
Between October 2022 and May 2023, the District Attorney and Wade traveled together on
four occasions that resulted in documentable expenses. The first included an extended trip in
October 2022 to Miami and Aruba and a cruise. Wade initially covered expenses for the October 2022 trip totaling approximately $5,223. (Def. Hrg. Exs. 11-12). In December 2022, the two flew to Miami for another cruise for which the District Attorney paid $1,394 for plane tickets, while Wade purchased passage for the cruise along with other vacation-related expenses totaling approximately $3,684. (2/2/24 State’s Opposition, Ex. 4); (Def. Hrg. Exs. 9, 28). In March 2023, the two traveled to Belize, where Wade covered resort and restaurant expenses in the amount of approximately $3,000. (Def. Hrg. Ex. 9). In May 2023, they traveled to Napa Valley, where Wade covered airfare, lodging, and Uber rides in the amount of around $2,829. (Id.). In addition, the two described taking a number of day-long road trips to Tennessee, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, and other parts of Georgia. They also admitted to dining out on multiple occasions and taking turns covering the bill. With seemingly full access to Wade’s primary credit card statements, the Defendants did not produce evidence of any further documentable expenses or gifts, nor were
any revealed through the testimony. In total, Defendants point to an aggregate documented benefit of, at most, approximately $12,000 to $15,000 in the District Attorney’s favor. (Def. Hrg. Ex. 28) ($12,907); (Def Hrg. Exs. 9, 11-12) ($14,736).The District Attorney and Wade testified that these expenditures were not meant as gifts and
not designed to benefit the District Attorney. Both testified that the District Attorney regularly reimbursed Wade in cash. And if not reimbursed, the District Attorney covered a comparable, related expense. For example, the District Attorney testified that she reimbursed Wade in cash for the Aruba trip which she estimated cost around $2,000 and that she “gave him money” for both cruises. She further claimed that she reimbursed Wade for the entirety of the Belize trip and that she paid for the Napa Valley excursions. Finally, while Wade could have bought meals in 2020 which totaled more than $100, she would also regularly pay for his meals. Such a reimbursement practice may be unusual and the lack of any documentary corroboration understandably concerning. Yet the testimony withstood direct contradiction, was corroborated by other evidence (for example, her payment of airfare for two on the 2022 Miami trip), and was not so incredible as to be inherently unbelievable. However, as the District Attorney herself acknowledged, no ledger exists. Other than a “best guesstimate,” there is no way to be certain that expenses were split completely evenly – and the District Attorney may well have received a net benefit of several hundred dollars. Despite this, after considering all the surrounding circumstances, the Court finds that the evidence did not establish the District Attorney’s receipt of a material financial benefit as a result of her decision to hire and engage in a romantic relationship with Wade. Simply put, the Defendants have not presented sufficient evidence indicating that the expenses were not “roughly divided evenly,” or that the District Attorney was, or currently remains, “greatly and pecuniarily interested” in this prosecution. – Mediaite, pages 6-8
So there you have it. Everything is copacetic in the Judge’s eyes. However, he ruled that she could either remove herself from the case or remove Nathan Wade. And we all know the answer to that, and I could have sworn I read somewhere that he was already off the case months ago anyway. So, whatever.
How much of a coward is Judge McAfee?
This was CNN on Fulton DA Fani Willis:
“This is epic. Monumental. Fani WILL be disqualified. This is a huge deal.”

Well, onward it is, then. I say let Fani show her arse again. After Trump assesses the corruption, maybe his team can move forward now, knowing what a clown-show Fani is and can reap the benefits that way. Or maybe I am under estimating her here. Time will tell.
Let me remind you that right after all of the testimony was given and the Judge went into Chambers for the next couple of weeks to deliberate on the case, one Robert Patillo announced his bid to challenge Judge Scott McAfee for his seat on the Fulton County Superior Court bench.
Robert Patillo, who has been a defense and civil rights attorney in Fulton County for 15 years, announced his intention to challenge McAfee this week. The election would be on Fulton County ballots on May 12, the same day voters statewide go to the polls to elect primary candidates for U.S. Congress and Georgia’s General Assembly.- Atlanta News First
I’m sure we are all confident that this had nothing to do with the Judge’s current decision. Right? Politics.
But wait, there’s more. All is not lost. Enter Governor Kemp on the white horse! The Georgia Governor signed a law just this week that may complicate Fani’s plans.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) signed a law Wednesday allowing a commission to begin sanctioning and removing prosecutors in the state, which could potentially disrupt Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s prosecution against former President Trump. – The Hill
Keep an eye on Georgia. The ride is about to become even bumpier. As this story plays out and we learn more, I am sure the Victory Girls will continue to bring you coverage.

Good to see they will keep the rampant racist on this pre-ordained outcome of a case on the team! She is the CRT choice to continue the prosecution. If I were a constituent, I’d begin a recall effort.
