If Fani Willis is removed a new DA will be appointed.
What this means is that whoever that is will decide if the case should proceed and as I understand it Willis's whole staff would be disqualified from the case.

All the local media here in Atlanta are treating it as a scandal as big as Trump asking for more votes.

She and Wade are getting no love from the media here in Atlanta...will that influence the Judge's decision???

It would be up to the State Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia to find someone else to take up the case.

And so? Are DUpipo afraid the replacement DA - admitting that Willis' problems are way worse than just being removed from the Trump case must be painful for DUpipo! - will drop Fani's Fauxny Lawfare Prosecutions and actually focus on bringing real criminals to jail/prison?

Prosecuting real criminals is racist and more than likely unconstitutional.

Appeals court disqualifies Fani Willis from Trump Georgia case

AGeorgia appellate court Thursday disqualified Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and removed her from prosecuting Donald Trump and co-defendants in a case she brought in relation to the efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

The decision is likely to cripple the case and bring a halt to the efforts to try Trump and his allies for their efforts to overturn his loss. Federal prosecutors have already dropped the other criminal case related to the 2020 election in the wake of Trump winning the 2024 election.

"After carefully considering the trial court’s findings in its order, we conclude that it erred by failing to disqualify DA Willis and her office," the court said, referring to an earlier ruling that allowed Willis to remain on the case. Willis had been under scrutiny over her relationship with a special prosecutor on the case, Nathan Wade.

The court said that the previous ruling by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAffee, who allowed Willis to remain on the case as long as Wade left it, did not prevent the "appearance of impropriety."

"The remedy crafted by the trial court to prevent an ongoing appearance of impropriety did nothing to address the appearance of impropriety that existed at times when DA Willis was exercising her broad pretrial discretion about who to prosecute and what charges to bring," the court said. "While we recognize that an appearance of impropriety generally is not enough to support disqualification, this is the rare case in which disqualification is mandated and no other remedy will suffice to restore public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings."

I guess we'll see if the case will be prosecuted or dropped by someone else.
