Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee threatened to kick one of Donald Trump's co-defendants out of a hearing on Thursday.

At a proceeding to determine whether District Attorney Fani Willis and Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade should be disqualified from Trump's election interference case, defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant grilled Wade about personal expenses. Merchant asked Wade about travel with Willis in an attempt to prove the two had a romantic relationship.

Well, technically it isn't a trial. It is an evidentiary hearing, but I understand what you mean. I think the ultimate point here is to put this on public display so it leaves no doubt about the impeachability of this case if and when it gets to trial.

If Willis and Wade survive this inquiry without being removed from the case, which I believe is absolutely the most likely outcome after seeing the testimony today, they are going to fuck up these defendants world.

There is going to be a reckoning with all these fucktard defendants falling all over themselves to avoid ending up in Georgia State Prison. It's time to buckle up because the screws are tightening, which means shit is only going to get crazier from here on out.
