In an exclusive interview with CNN, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis says the work on the case against former President Donald Trump has not been delayed in the wake of a hearing into her relationship with former lead prosecutor Nathan Wade.

      Because the judge is frustrated with her. He invited Trump’s defense team to request an order to have the prosecution stop speaking publicly about the case. The judge said he nearly disqualified Fani Willis over a speech she gave at a church on MLK Jr day. I’m not some right wing nut either. This is information learned from places like Legal AF, Jack Podcast, etc.

        Sounds reasonable to me. Trump runs his mouth because he needs to keep his cult engaged and grift them for money.

        Fanni doesn’t need that. She just needs to operate cool and strictly within the purview of the legal system. She should take a page or two from Jack Smith.

      Because the judge in the case warned her about her making public statements about it. That’s the reason. I’m sorry you aren’t keeping up on the facts of the trial or just don’t care, but some of us want to see her win it and for the win to survive all appeals. Enjoy your upvotes though.
