AJC:

In a much-anticipated decision, Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee said Willis must choose one of the two options to cure an appearance of impropriety fueled by her romantic relationship with lead prosecutor Nathan Wade, who has billed more than $728,000 in legal fees to county taxpayers and helped pay for trips he took with the district attorney.

Wade’s as good as gone.

This was telegraphed yesterday, when the judge dropped a number of charges, allowing prosecutors to revise their case on those dropped charges. Prosecutors will likely provide superseding indictments shortly.

It wasn’t a great look for Willis to employ Wade, but it was not a conflict of interest in the ordinary sense. Despite all the crap spewed by Trump’s coconspirators, none of this prejudiced Trump or his coconspirators. It was just poor choice by Willis to employ her now significant other.

The judge made it clear that this case is going forward.

Trump’s still fooked.
