If all allegations are true, then she should be canned. It does not change the evidence against trumpty and his co-conspirators. The evidence is what drew the indictments. The evidence is what caused 4 of the 19 indicted to plead guilty. Those four cannot go to court and withdraw their guilty pleas because the DA was boning one of the prosecutors.
When she resigns, another will take up the case. Same thing if she got hit by a car.
These new allegations come on the heels of this fiasco last July.
Willis hosted a fundraiser and donated to a political opponent of someone she was investigating
A judge in Fulton County, Georgia, has granted a motion by a Republican candidate for lieutenant governor to disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis from targeting him in her criminal probe into former
President Donald Trump and allies' efforts
to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney on Monday barred Willis from building a case against Burt Jones, a state senator running for lieutenant governor, after she hosted a fundraiser backing Democratic candidate Charlie Bailey in his runoff against another Democratic challenger who ultimately lost, Kwanza Hall.
McBurney said Willis’ taking part in the fundraiser was “harmful” to the integrity of the investigation.
Any decision the district attorney makes about Senator Jones in connection with the grand jury investigation is necessarily infected by it,” the judge wrote, adding that any effort to focus specifically on Jones, even if it were justified, would prompt “entirely reasonable concerns of politically motivated persecution.”
Willis’ interest in Jones stems from some state Republicans’ efforts after the 2020 election to create an alternate slate of 16 presidential electors even after an official vote count showed Trump had lost by thousands of votes. Jones is one of the “fake electors” named as targets in the investigation.
McBurney said an additional decision by Willis to donate privately to Bailey’s campaign was not disqualifying in itself, as Jones’ counsel had argued, but he said the move “
added to the weight of the conflict created by the more extensive, direct, public and job-related campaign work the district attorney performed on behalf of candidate Bailey.”
So she has the bad optics thing already hanging over her head.
Again, its NOT just the relationship, but how he was hired, paid, and utilized.
She clearly did not hire the best for the role, she hired her lover... THAT is a breach in ethics.
