Judge dismisses two counts against President Trump in Georgia!

Says Fani Willis lacked authority.|

ATLANTA, Georgia (PNN) - September 12, 2024 - Judge Scott McAfee dismissed two of the counts against President Donald J. Trump in a bogus RICO prosecution there, ruling that District Attorney Fani Willis lacked standing to bring the charges against him.

Judge McAfee found that state prosecutors did not have the authority to bring those charges, which related to the alleged filing of false documents in federal court.

McAfee allowed the remainder of the case to move forward, including eight bogus charges against President Trump. Trump and 14 co-defendants have pleaded not guilty to racketeering and other charges stemming from what prosecutors allege was a scheme to overturn Trump’s supposed defeat in Georgia in the 2020 election.

The ruling means that five of the original 13 criminal counts against Trump in the indictment obtained last year have now been dismissed. McAfee in March dismissed six other counts, including three against President Trump.

Last month, Trump’s lawyers asked a state appeals court to remove Willis from the case over “racial animus,” after she gave a speech claiming that ethics complaints against her had been filed because of racism.

The ethical complaints were later found to have merit, exposing an inappropriate relationship between Willis and fellow prosecutor Nathan Wade, who was forced to resign from the case.

The news of two charges being dropped against Trump is the latest legal victory for the president in what he says is a pattern of political prosecutions against him, at both the federal and state levels.

Communist pretender Vice President Kamala Harris unsuccessfully tried to use those prosecutions against him in the presidential debate on September 10.
