Trump's Georgia case is likely over -- and Fani Willis is to blame [View all]

https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/fani-willis-nathan-wade-prosecute-trump-rcna184921

The disqualification of DA Willis and her office doesn’t just impact this single case — as significant as it is. It undermines public confidence in our justice system and raises legitimate questions, yet again, about her prosecutorial judgment. The relationship between Willis and Wade, along with the financial arrangements surrounding his appointment, created an appearance of impropriety that could have and should have been avoided.
