A Georgia appeals court on Wednesday agreed to review a lower court ruling allowing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to continue to prosecute the election interference case she brought against former President Donald Trump.

The move seems likely to delay the case and is the second time in as many days that the former president has gotten a favorable ruling that could push any future trials beyond the November election, when he is expected to be the Republican nominee for president. A day earlier, the judge in his Florida classified documents case indefinitely postponed that trial date.

Trump and some other defendants in Georgia had tried to get Willis and her office removed the case, saying her romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade created a conflict of interest. Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee in March found that no conflict of interest existed that should force Willis off the case, but he granted a request from Trump and the other defendants to seek an appeal of his ruling from the Georgia Court of Appeals.

    Idk seems like we could just fix the glaringly obvious issues like getting money out of politics and removing those from office that are blatantly corrupt and doing absolutely nothing at all to help Americans in any way whatsoever which seems to be most of the republican party. Throw anyone in jail that had anything to do with Jan 6 which includes a lot of republicans currently in office. They contributed to an attack on our nation. It’s fucking ridiculous that there are no consequences for them.

    But yeah it sure seems like we need to start anew since a traitor who started an attack on our nation is still free and even running for office again. Fucking insane.
