I have just heard about the ruling about Fani Willis's disqualification. While I am annoyed about the ruling, I am equally annoyed about the Patriots, MAGA-men, and Anons here melting down about she get off completely scot-free.
First of all, all of these melting-down rants neglected the critical fact that she did not get completely scot-free. Her staying on the case is dependent on firing her boyfriend from the case. So she has a few choices:
1.) Fire Mr. Wade from the case and still be on the case, but with a diminished set of cards to play with and with Mr. Wade being a loose end that could decide to retaliate against her for cutting him loose (after all, being part of prosecution the team means he has plenty of inside knowledge that could give Trump and co. a much bigger edge, should he decide to turn over a new leaf).
2.) Keep Mr. Wade on staff and getting her entire office thrown out of the case anyway, or
3.) Pretend to fire Mr. Wade, but sneak him back onto the payroll, and risk getting slapped around HARDER when her shenanigans gets found out (recall that her office is probably under more of a microscope than before, so it will be harder to do anything in secret).
In my opinion, Fani didn't dodge a bullet, but gotten grazed by it. Now, if it will become a festering and fatal wound would be up to her.
And I bet that Trump have plenty of more Tricks up his sleeve...
