COMMENTS FROM THE STREET:
"Jill Biden needs to go home and attend to Joe. Nobody wants Hunter Biden to run for president.
There needs to be a revamp in 'both' parties -- Democratic voters are looking for real leaders and new candidate choices -- and Hunter Biden is not on that prospective list.
Democratic voters also don't want to hear, if a pedo can be president, why not Hunter? Because that's the type of "Bullsh*t" rhetoric many Democratic voters (including me), are sick of too. We don't want Donald Trump for president, and we don't Hunter Biden either."

Georgia appeals court upholds dismissal of 6 counts as Trump seeks to keep Willis disqualified from election case
BY: Olivia Rubin - ABC News
(From the article) ...
A Georgia appeals court on Friday upheld a lower court's ruling that dismissed six of the charges brought in the 2020 Fulton County election interference case against Donald Trump and other co-defendants.
Trial judge Scott McAfee last year dismissed the charges from the indictment -- three of which applied to Trump -- because he found they were legally deficient and failed to provide enough details.
Trump originally face 13 counts in the indictment, and following the dismissal faced 10.
The Georgia Court of Appeals, in Friday's ruling, denied an appeal from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on the grounds that the charges lacked enough specificity.
"We find that the indictment fails to include enough detail to sufficiently apprise the defendants of what they must be prepared to meet so that they can intelligently prepare their defense," the appeals court ruling stated ..."

COMMENTS FROM THE STREET:
"This is what Steve Sadow was alluding to in his post-case dismissal interviews. He knew he had won this case early on -- not because of arrogance, but because he saw early on that Fani Willis didn't know what she was doing, because of the way she was mismanaging this case. But Sadow knew that the legal process still had to play out.
What was confusing to him and some of the other defense attorneys, is that despite Fani Willis knowing that if she removed herself from the case, the case would've moved forward -- she still refused to do so. The case ended up being stalled through appeals-- appeals that Fani Willis knew she would not win.
The reason Sadow and the other defense attorneys filed for some type of legal fee reimbursement for their clients, is because even though the case was not moving and was being stalled unnecessarily, their clients still had to pay for and maintain legal representation - which is not free.
It was like having to pay for a cab ride -- even though the cab never moved, you still had to pay because the meter was still running.
This may sound politically incorrect, but this case was so far above Fani Willis' intellect and capabilities, that it should have never been assigned to her.
Fani Willis repeatedly taking trips to the Caribbean and other places with Nathan Wade during very critical phases of this case, was also mind boggling. I have known defense lawyers and prosecutors who have 'cancelled' vacations, when working on important cases like this."

"No wonder Pete Skandalakis dismissed this case -- the indictment was poorly written, and Fani Willis and her team didn't give enough attention and detail to the charges. How do you do that for the biggest political case in United States history? Not to mention this was the biggest case of Fani Willis' career.
None of this makes any sense - what the hell was really going on here?

"It looks like Fani Willis just threw that Election Interference case indictment together. The fact that the Appeals court pointed out that the indictment didn't provide enough detail for defendant's lawyer to prepare an intelligent defense, speaks volumes.
How did this happen? I thought Willis was supposed to be a superstar, seasoned prosecutor? It's almost like she put this case on 'auto-pilot' and thought it was going to prosecute itself.
What about the other prosecutors on the team, they didn't see the deficiencies in the indictment?
This whole case was such a waste of taxpayer money.
Robin, 54 - Atlanta (Midtown)

"The thing that still confuses me though, is what did Fani Willis promise Fulton DA staffers Don Wakeford, Will Wooten and attorney John Floyd, for them to go along with being "underpaid" and "overqualified" and agreeing to be led by "overpaid" and "under-qualified" Nathan Wade on Trump's election interference case? I struggle trying to figure that one out.
Was Wooten, Wakeford and Floyd getting paid under the table or something? Or were they getting paid from money laundered via payments Fani made to her campaign media company, Canal Partners? Which by the way is owned by Roy Barnes' (Fani's lawyer) former chief of staff. This is what ex-Atlanta mayor Shirley Franklin's husband David Franklin did for their daughter Kai.
Kai's husband, Treymane Graham, worked for "BMF" (Black Mafia Family), and he would deposit that drug money into David Franklin's Atlanta airport business, then he would write a check for the exact amount of the drug money deposit from his company's bank account, and give to Kai.
Fulton District Attorney employees Don Wakeford, Will Wooten and attorney John Floyd, had to have been promised or paid something to allow themselves to be played like that."
It looks like John Floyd "paid" to get on Donald Trump's 2020 Election Interference case team.

"A lot of money from Georgia's 2020 Election Interference case flowed into Cobb County -- instead of Fulton County.
Canal Partners Media, LLC (referenced above) — the media company that handled media placement for Fani Willis' 2020 campaign is located at 900 Circle 75 Pkwy SE, Suite 1650, Atlanta, GA 30339, in Cobb County. It's owned by Roy Barnes' former campaign manager.
Roy Barnes is and was Fani Willis' attorney during the Election Interference case, his offices are also located in Cobb County.
Media Buying and Analytics, LLC, which is a subsidiary of "Canal Partners Media" -- was the number one media placement agency for Joe Biden's 2020 campaign and Kamala Harris' 2024 campaign (revenue generated was between $3M to $4M). The company has a registered office listed at 881 Piedmont Avenue NE, Suite 110, Atlanta, GA 30309 -- but the major administrative and billings operation for the company, is located at 4355 Cobb Parkway SE, Atlanta, GA 30339 - in Cobb County.
The main point person for Media Buying and Analytics, LLC is "Chris Huttman" - the business partner of Fani Willis' media spokesperson, Jeff Disantis - who also used to be Roy Barnes' campaign manager.
The special prosecutor for the Election Interference case, Nathan Wade lives in Cobb County -- and the person Fani Willis hired to lead the Fulton DA's "anti-corruption matters" unit, Sonya Allen also lives in Cobb County and is currently Cobb County's District Attorney.
And more than likely, both Wade and Allen spent most of their Fulton County salaries in Cobb County.
Some say Roy Barnes' Cobb County Cartel, made some pretty good money off of Fani Willis and Georgia's Election Interference case.
This is the reason Fani Willis didn't step down from the case -- all the above people/companies would lose money and possible future revenue -- because there would be no guarantee that a new "assigned" prosecutor would hire Canal Partners, Nathan Wade, Sonya Allen or Roy Barnes, who has made millions filing those useless appeals for Fani Willis -- which unnecessarily delayed Trump's case -- but made a lot of money for him and his law firm.
And of course, it benefitted Chris Huttman, Media Buying and Analytics, and Fani's media person, Jeff Disantis, to prevent Trump from being re-elected and Kamala Harris win the election -- because they made a lot of money from her campaign.
In a sense, this is a form of RICO.
