'Like Rats Deserting a Sinking Ship': Liberal Media Turn on Willis, Call for Self-Removal From Trump Case

 Mike Miller – RedState 

"Foremost, concerning the NYT's point, the State Bar of Georgia could disbar Wilis if it can be proven that she indeed perjured herself on the witness stand or in sworn statements she submitted to the court about her romantic relationship with Wade." MM

"There's a Democrat Party modus operandi I've seen play out multiple times throughout my years of writing about politics: Democrat politicians and their lapdog media staunchly support and defend one another — until they don't. Once they smell blood in the water, it's under the bus for the previously defended.

"Such is the situation facing embattled Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis in the aftermath of Judge Scott McAfee’s 23-page ruling in which he sharply criticized both Willis and her former lover Nathan Wade, whom she hired as the special prosecutor in the RICO case against former President Donald Trump and other defendants in November 2021. 

"Wade resigned from the case on Friday after McAffee ruled that either he or Willis had to go.

"Throughout McAfee's ruling, he blistered both Willis and Wade for their "questionable" (lying under oath) testimony and “bad choices.” 

"While “Georgia law does not permit the finding of an actual conflict for simply making bad choices — even repeatedly,” McAfee wrote, his decision was “by no means an indication that the Court condones this tremendous lapse in judgment or the unprofessional manner of the District Attorney’s testimony.” 

"Concerning Willis's absurd claim that she paid Wade in cash for half of the extravagant vacations they took together, McAfee wrote that while her claim was  “unusual,” it was “not so incredible as to be inherently unbelievable.” (Yes, it was.)

"This brings us back to the "blood in the water" analogy.

"Despite MaAfee's ruling that Willis could remain on the case if Wade were booted or resigned, the liberal media aren't happy campers about the dumpster fire mess

Like rats deserting a sinking ship, many in the legacy media are now calling for [Willis] to recuse herself from the case. 

"One of those unhappy campers is MSNBC contributor Andrew Weissmann, a partisan left-wing hack who had a leadership role on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Trump-Russia (hoax) investigation team. Weissman said he doesn't think Willis “has it in her” to effectively continue her prosecution of Trump." . . .
