Fani Willis Actions 'Wasted' Time in Donald Trump Case--George Conway

Lawyer George Conway said on Friday that the actions of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis "wasted" time in her criminal case against former President Donald Trump.

(snip)

Conway, who is a vocal critic of Trump and the estranged husband of the former president's ex-aide Kellyanne Conway, reacted to McAfee's ruling on X, formerly Twitter. "This was the obvious solution all along," he wrote. "If the DA had acknowledged the facts more quickly and then said that, to eliminate any issue, Wade is stepping aside, everyone would have been spared a lot of trouble—including and especially the DA—and a lot of time would not have been wasted in satellite circus litigation about the affair."

Trump's lawyer Steve Sadow told Newsweek via email on Friday: "While respecting the Court's decision, we believe that the Court did not afford appropriate significance to the prosecutorial misconduct of Willis and Wade, including the financial benefits, testifying untruthfully about when their personal relationship began, as well as Willis' extrajudicial MLK 'church speech,' where she played the race card and falsely accused the defendants and their counsel of racism.

"We will use all legal options available as we continue to fight to end this case, which should never have been brought in the first place."

Hopefully she won't. But she isn't getting enough support. More important people have to stand up for her not just pile more shit that she should've or could've done things differently. Those with louder voices need to stand up. People are afraid of Trump. So stupid.

for what he put Fani through. Fuck Conway, it's easy to arm chair QB. Fani did nothing wrong why should she kick Wade off?
