More importantly, I would say this is a strong indication this case and Willis are not getting thrown out.

She did attempt to keep all of the cases together, but the expectation was always that Trump would be going to trial next year.

More importantly, I would say this is a strong indication Willis and team have no idea what they are doing. I seem to recall you and others talking about how poor Trumps defense was in NY with Habba. The media tore her apart for no real reason. Here you have the appointed DA who filed things that should not have.Inexcusable.
If you are bringing a RICO case you have it all in order. They had nothing and to try to find something they did it the wrong way.

According to this MSM legal analyst, you are spot on. He blasts Fanni Willis for doing such a poor job, the judge threw out a whopping 6 charges against Donald Trump and other defendants in this case.

Did they ever figure out whether that phone call between Trump and Raffensperger was illegally recorded?
It took all of 3 seconds to look up that Georgia is a one-party consent state.

In general, are "Independents" Smarter or Dumber than Republicans? Smarter or Dumber than Democrats?

Well enough of them voted for Biden that he won, so I'd have to say they're pretty dumb.

EXCLUSIVE: Judge McAfee talks about upcoming ruling over to remove Willis from Trump case There’s a lot riding on the judge’s decision, including the future of the case, not to mention Willis’ career as a prosecutor.
ATLANTA — Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee confirmed to Channel 2 Action News that he will rule on whether to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the state’s RICO case against former president Donald Trump and 14 co-defendants on Friday.
There’s a lot riding on the judge’s decision, including the future of the case, not to mention Willis’ career as a prosecutor.
Channel 2 investigative reporter Mark Winne spoke exclusively to McAfee on the eve of that decision.
“What can you tell us about the timing of your order on the Fulton DA disqualification issue?” Winne asked McAfee.
“I made a promise to everybody. These kind of orders take time to write. I need to say exactly what I want to, and I plan to stick to the timeline I gave everyone,” McAfee said.
“So this week?” Winne asked McAfee.
“Should be out tomorrow,” McAfee said.
Winne spoke with McAfee as he attended a Rotary Club meeting Thursday in Roswell.
“The message I want to convey is no ruling of mine is ever going to be based on politics. I’m going to be following the law the best I understand it,” McAfee said.

Does that negate the fact the call was made from Florida, which is a two-party consent state?
Yup.
Unless the Supreme Court takes up the case.

Trump Sounds Off After Special Prosecutor Resigns from Case: 'BIG STUFF'
After an enforced divorce that left former special prosecutor Nathan Wade out in the cold, former President Donald Trump celebrated the development.
Wade’s resignation from the Fulton County, Georgia, prosecution of Trump and multiple co-defendants came after weeks of testimony indicating that Wade and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had a romantic relationship that some witnesses said began before she hired him.
“The Fani Willis lover, Mr. Nathan Wade Esq., has just resigned in disgrace, as per his and her reading of the Judge’s Order today,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Nathan was the “Special,” in more ways than one, Prosecutor “engaged” by Fani (pronounced Fauni!) Willis, to persecute TRUMP for Crooked Joe Biden and his Department of Injustice, for purposes of Election Interference and living the life of the Rich & Famous,” Trump wrote.
Trump wanted the impact of the move to be clear to everyone...
“This is the equivalent of Deranged Jack Smith getting “canned,” BIG STUFF, something which should happen in the not too distant future!!!”, wrote the former President.
Good news for the rule of law.
The Georgia Court of Appeals agreed to review President Donald Trump’s appeal to disqualify disgraced Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the sham RICO case against him.
“Upon consideration of the Application for Interlocutory Appeal, it is ordered that it be hereby GRANTED. The Appellant may file a Notice of Appeal within 10 days of the date of this order. The Clerk of Superior Court is directed to include a copy of this order in the record transmitted to the Court of Appeals,” the Court said.

Former President Donald Trump scored two back-to-back legal victories this week, effectively delaying two of the four criminal cases against him.
An appeals court in Georgia agreed Wednesday to consider Trump's appeal of the disqualification matter related to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and attorney Nathan Wade.
Judge Scott McAfee, who is overseeing the case in Fulton County, had agreed that Willis could remain on the prosecution in March so long as Wade, who is in a romantic relationship with Willis, stepped down from the Trump case. Trump and several of his co-defendants in the case had moved to have Willis' office disqualified from the case, citing the district attorney's relationship with Wade.
Wednesday's decision is highly likely to delay a potential trial in the RICO case. It follows Judge Aileen Cannon's Tuesday order, which indefinitely postponed Trump's trial in the classified documents case in Florida.
The daughter of embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was arrested in Georgia for driving with a suspended license.
According to The Daily Mail, 25-year-old Kinaya Willis was pulled over for driving while using a cell phone on August 24 in Tyrone, Georgia when officers realized she had a suspended license.
Kinaya Willis told the police officer that she was using her cell phone “due to her mother calling her related to her pregnancy.”
Police bodycam footage showed Fani Willis *and her lover Nathan Wade* walking up to the scene as officers arrested her daughter.
In February 2024 Fani Willis testified under oath that her relationship with her then-top prosecutor Nathan Wade had ended months ago.

The Fulton County judge overseeing Donald Trump's Georgia election interference case on Thursday tossed out three more counts in the indictment, two of which the former president was facing.
The judge, Scott McAfee, previously threw out six counts in the indictment, three of which were against Trump.
"President Trump and his legal team in Georgia have prevailed once again," Trump attorney Steve Sadow said in a statement following Thursday's order. The trial court has decided that counts 15 and 27 in the indictment must be quashed/dismissed."
