Judge Dismisses Two Counts Against Trump in Georgia; Fani Willis Lacked Authority



Fulton County, Georgia, Judge Scott McAfee dismissed two of the counts against former President Donald Trump in a RICO prosecution there, ruling that District Attorney Fani Willis lacked standing to bring the charges against him.

Reuters reported:

Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee found that state prosecutors did not have the authority to bring those charges, which related to the alleged filing of false documents in federal court.

McAfee allowed the remainder of the case to move forward, including eight charges against Trump. Trump and 14 co-defendants have pleaded not guilty to racketeering and other charges stemming from what prosecutors allege was a scheme to overturn Trump’s narrow defeat in Georgia in the 2020 election.


The ruling means that five of the original 13 criminal counts against Trump in the indictment obtained last year have now been tossed out. McAfee in March dismissed six other counts, including three against Trump.

Last month, Trump’s lawyers asked a state appeals court to remove Willis from the case over “racial animus,” after she gave a speech claiming that ethics complaints against her had been filed because of racism.

The ethical complaints were later found to have merit, exposing an inappropriate relationship between Willis and fellow prosecutor Nathan Wade, who was forced to resign from the case.

The news of two charges being dropped against Trump is the latest legal victory for the former president in what he says is a pattern of political prosecutions against him, at both the federal and state levels.

Vice President Kamala Harris tried to use those prosecutions against him in the presidential debate September 10.

Because Trump has been audited every year since he’s been in business and rather than running a criminal organization he is a real estate developer. Guilt by association doesn’t wash.

He takes every loophole and advantage he can get and often gets sued for taxes because he went too far. You can him a cheater. This is the same story all of the big real estate firms tell, Trump is not unique in this regard. If he gets caught cheating I hope he gets punished fairly.

I’m not saying it’s ok for Trump to break the law just because others do. What I am saying is that Trump is not comparable to Capone in that he is clearly breaking the law by going outside the bounds of his industry. As I said, if Trump is found guilty of tax evasion then I hope he is treated just like any other real estate developer under similar circumstances.

Just curious, Do you feel the charges against Capone were politically motivated? Pressure from the voters to get the "Bad Guy"?

Are Trumps thirty odd felony convictions really different than if they we tax law violations?

I know you don't see Trump as a criminal - but in the eyes of the law, is he not?
