Breaking: Judge Drops 6 Charges Against Trump

over the past 24 hours there were two major developments in the RICO case against President Trump over in the state of Georgia firstly the judge overseeing the case he went ahead and he dismissed several of the charges and then secondly that very same judge he surprisingly gave an interview to a local radio station wherein he discussed the question of kicking Fanny Willis off the case let's go through both of these developments together starting with the dismiss charges you see what happened over in the fton county RICO case is that the lawyer for both president Trump as well as for five of his codefendants they submitted a court filing asking the judge to throw out several of the charges to be specific this court filing was submitted by lawyers of President Trump of Mark Meadows of John Eastman of Ray Smith Robert chiley as well as Rudy Giuliani and their basic argument in this request was that the underlying facts in the case did not warrant those particular charges to be pursued and after considering the rationale well just earlier today the judge in the case agreed with their request and he dropped several of the charges in the case specifically Judge Scott McAfee who is of course the judge presiding over the case he issued this nine-page ruling right here striking down six of the charges that Fanny Willis lobbied against Trump as well as his associates he was specifically with the judge rad in his ruling quote the Court's concern is less that the state has failed to allege sufficient conduct of the defendants in fact it has alleged in abundance however the lack of detail concerning an essential legal element is in the unders sign's opinion meaning the judge opinion fatal as written these six counts contain all the Essential Elements of the crimes but fail to allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission I.E the underlying felony solicited they do not give the defendants enough information to prepare their defenses intelligently as the defendants could have violated the Constitutions and does the statutes in dozens if not hundreds of distinct ways and so with that out of the 41 total charges in the Georgia indictment the judge just dismissed six of them for being essentially legally defective basically the prosecution was charging president Trump and his associates with asking state level officials in Georgia to violate their oath to the state constitution but the prosecutors failed to detail any specific constitutional Provisions it would be similar to me accusing someone of violating my constitutional rights but when they asked me which rights I just said all of them doesn't really work that way and as such the judge threw out six of the charges for basically not being specific enough and for your general reference these were the charges that were dismissed count number two count number five count number six count number 23 count number 28 and count number 38 all six of those counts were titled solicitation of violation of Oath by public officer and they all related to Trump and his associates calling up different state level officials in Georgia to get them to either certify an alternative slate of electors or as the indictment reads to influence the certified election returns all those charges have now been dismissed including the ones which arose from president Trump's phone call with Mr Brad raffensberger the Georgia Secretary of State now out of these dismissed total six charges three of them apply to president Trump himself quote three of the quashed charges apply to president Trump and throw out counts related to a phone call he made to the Georgia Secretary of State this leaves only the RICO charge for Mark Meadows 10 counts for president Trump 11 counts for Mr Giuliani 10 counts for Mr Smith nine counts for Mr Chile and 8 counts for Mr Eastman which means in Practical terms that only part of the case was dismissed the case in its entirety is still unfolding with the racketeering charges still being in place at least for now and it is only the charges of soliciting State officials which have been dismissed and as you would imagine Trump's legal team was actually quite satisfied with this victory in fact shortly after the judge's order was made public Mr Steve sadow who is the lead defense lawyer for Trump over in the state of Georgia he released this as a part of a statement quote the counts dismissed against President Trump are 528 and 38 which falsely claim that he solicited Georgia public officials to violate their oath of office the ruling is a correct application of the law as the prosecution failed to make specific allegations of any alleged wrongdoing on those counts the entire prosecution of President Trump is political constitute election interference and should be dismissed and so that is the first major development the second development in this case has to do with the fact that Judge Scott McAfee is actually up for election and it is not an easy election by any stretch of the IM ination specifically here's the background in December of 2022 judge Christopher Brasher retired from the Fon County Superior Court leaving a vacancy the Republican governor of Georgia Brian Kemp he then appointed Judge Scott McAfee to replace him that is how judge McAfee became the judge in the first place he wasn't elected by the people but rather he was appointed by the Republican Governor to fill a vacancy and the reason that this matters is because Fulton County is overwhelmingly a Democrat stronghold according to the official results in 2020 Fulton County voted 73% for Joe Biden and so for judge McAfee Who was appointed to the bench by a republican governor and who himself was one's the leader of his College's Republican chapter well the election in Fulton County is already an uphill battle and coincidentally in the 10 days since closing arguments were heard in the fanny Willis disqualification hearing two Challengers have stepped up to replace judge McAfee in the upcoming election quote in the 10 days since closing arguments were heard McAfee has received a pair of challengers in his May election bid candidates had until March 8th to qualify for the race and McAfee saw two Challengers into the race in the closing days he will now face off against civil rights attorney Robert Patio and Tiffany Johnson a former senior staff attorney for the Fon County Judge Melanie lege while the election is nonpartisan patio has previously run for other offices as a Democrat and so amidst this General backdrop Judge Scott McAfee surprised quite a few people by doing an interview with a local radio station the first question that was asked had to do with whether or not he believed that the Challenger was actually being backed up by Fanny Willis as essentially a form of retaliation here was the back and forth exchange quote question do you feel that pao's run is being bagged by Fanny Willis that this is a pressure campaign to force you to and I'm doing air quotes do the right thing or make the right decision do you feel that way and then judge McAfee responds no I think he seems sincere so I'm not the type that I'm going to presume the worst of that sort the big thing that I wanted to come on and make sure I told you today is that even if it is it doesn't matter because it absolutely is not going to play into my decision in any way then the radio station asked judge McAfee whether we can still expect a final decision by Friday in terms of whether or not Fanny Willis will be disqualified from the case and to that question judge McAfee had quite an interesting answer here was the full back and forth exchange on that question quote question can you tell us are you anywhere closer to that twoe decision on the election interference are we closer to that are we sooner than 2 weeks or outside of 2 weeks how are we looking judge McAfee response I gave myself a deadline because I knew everyone wanted an answer and I'll tell you an order like this takes time to write there's a lot that needs to I have to go through and so you know I've had again I'll emphasize this I've had a rough draft and an outline before I ever heard a rumor that someone wanted to run for this position so the result is not going to change because of politics I'm calling it as best I can in the law as I understand it so I still feel like I'm on track to having that done by the deadline that I put on myself all right just to pause here for a super quick moment listen we currently are entering uncharted waters whether it's internationally or domestically suspicious events are unfolding seemingly everywhere I mean every single day Wars popping off you have the internet and cell phone grid suddenly going dark Banks failing you have the commercial real estate market about to collapse and so I would recommend that you trust your gut you take action and you prepare for whatever might be

will be released to the public as early as later this week meaning that we might know whether or not Fanny Willis will be kicked off the case as early as tomorrow or Friday and interestingly the question of whether Fanny Willis will be kicked off the prosecution or not in this case but actually become the determining factor in whether or not judge McAfee is able to hold on to his job because one of the candidates running against them is specifically criticizing that aspect of the case specific while speaking to that same local radio station last Wednesday here's what candidate for judge Robert ptio here's what he said quote Robert ptio during an appearance on the Shelley winter show last Wednesday called a hearing on the motion to disqualify Willis a clown show and implied it is not a well-run court room and again in a district that Joe Biden officially won by 73% that's a fairly strong argument however on the flips side it appears that Judge Scott McAfee is not going to let the prospect the Potential Prospect of losing his job stop him from ruling in this case as he believes it should be ruled on here's specifically what he said on the matter in his interview with that very same radio station quote no job is worth my integrity and you know when you ask that question what I think about it is you know I've got two kids five and three they're too young to have any idea of what's going on or what I do but what I'm looking forward to one day is maybe they will grow up a little bit and they ask me about it and I'm looking forward to looking them in the eye and telling them I played it straight and did the best I could and so there you have it quite a few Developers in the past 24 hours with a lot more to look forward to in the coming week if you like to either
