Legal expert calls for Fani Willis' removal from office: Employees are ‘lining up’ to testify

we're going to start with the Fox News Alert now Nathan Wade stepping down from the Trump election case in Georgia after the judge rules that Fon County DA Fanny Willis must cut ties with her special prosecutor or quit the case herself in his exit letter Wade says quote I am offering my resignation in the interest of democracy in dedication to the American public and to move this case forward as quickly as possible in the interest of democracy how amazing of him he's a patriot this comes after W

illis was forced to take the stand over her relationship with Wade which ended up overshadowing the Trump case and led to moments like this one you're confused you think I'm on trial these people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020 I'm not on trial no matter how hard you try to put me on trial let me tell you which one you lied in right here I think you lied right here no no no no this is the truth it is a lie so Fox News legal analyst Greg Jarrett joins us now Greg great to hav

e you this morning so from best I and we can tell uh judge McAfee attempted to sort of split the baby here to do something that maybe wasn't politically controversial in Fulton County but also punish Willis and Wade for the appearance of impropriety what he said and I wanted to ask you about is he said although it's clear their behavior was um was at best um frowned upon uh at worst much more he said it didn't impact the defendant uh in this case Donald Trump and others do process rights yeah we

ll he's wrong will I mean this decision if you read it 23 Pages it's illogical it's self-contradictory the judge found both Willis and Wade engaged in the same wrongful improper conduct that under law and ethics demands removal and yet he orders that only one of them has to leave the case I mean that makes no sense obviously because the appearance of impropriety remains and it infects the case and the defendant and his due process rights which means I think this was a craven political ruling wri

tten by a Democrat judge who wasn't about to jeopardize his reelection in a few months so he gratuitously tosses Willis this Lifeline to keep the case against Trump going because if she's disqualified by the court so is in her entire office that's Georgia law and that would effectively kill the charges against Trump because any sensible prosecutor I think elsewhere would take one look at this case recognize that it's weak or non-existent on rering and in fact I wrote a column two months ago that

this case is such a legal ethical train wreck the State Attorney General should take it over for review and I I think that may be where it's headed yeah that's so interesting I you know I'm I'm looking at her and all her dramatic moments um not going to say very in I'm not going to lie it's very entertaining um and I can see why he doesn't want to upset black female voters many of whom like the way she is performing on on the stand um but I guess the question I have is just where does this go i

n terms of the general public opinion about you know this being election interference um the entire process uh for Donald Trump that they're trying to you know tie him up in these court cases and I I think it's kind of helping him in make that case yeah it it's classic law fair weaponizing the law for political purposes and you know Willis seems to be popping champagne corks well I think that's premature this ruling further delays the prosecution it may put it in Jeopardy and she may not survive

profession Al because a Georgia Senate investigation and a prosecutor's Commission Now armed with the judge's findings a scathing rebuke of Willis's Behavior I mean he called her unprofessional said she may have been untruthful and dishonest my goodness that is a breach of Duty it's grounds for removal from office not just a case she undermined The public's trust but Willis is also facing a additional probes misuse of public funds other improprieties reportedly employees are lining up to testif

y against her so I'll make this prediction I think she'll try to diffuse all of this by announcing sometime soon that oh well another prosecutor in the office will try the case well that doesn't remove either her or the taint of a partisan da who as I say weaponized the law to bring a politically driven case to influence a presidential election H her moment in the spotlight and it seems to all be caving in in the case with it potentially and all the cases Greg it feels like across the board uh t

he courtroom is getting farther away even though they they uh they keep trying to bring it at Trump Greg thanks for your time appreciate it I'm Steve duy I'm Brian kilme and I'm Angley aart and click here to subscribe to the Fox News YouTube page to catch our hottest interviews and most compelling analysis
