A Georgia judge on Wednesday said Republican U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump and eight of his co-defendants in the state’s criminal election subversion case could appeal a ruling that let lead prosecutor Fani Willis remain on the case.

Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee’s decision cleared the way for the former U.S. president and the others to ask a Georgia state appeals court to consider whether Willis, the Fulton County district attorney, should be disqualified over her romantic relationship with a former deputy, Nathan Wade.

McAfee indicated he would continue addressing other legal issues while the appeals court considers whether to take up the disqualification bid. A trial date has not yet been set.

    Not sure why you are being downvoted.

    Because they pull their thoughts and talking points from white liberal media outlets where criticism of your own party or side is a greater sin than all others. Its the ‘Blue no matter who’ crowd, the MSNBC/ CNBC/ NPR listeners. Its the same idiots who, when you criticize Hillary’s completely idiotic approach to the upper Midwest in 2016 say “But she won the popular vote”. They are a class of people who have been raised to be unable to distinguish between symbolic victories and actually winning. They are a lost and rudderless people who have been losing political power for 20 years and don’t seem to understand why. Its because the owners of the media sources they consume are on the same political side that the class perceives themselves ‘against’.

    They are everywhere and they are idiots who think they know something because NPR played some snappy classical music between segments. They are a barrier to progress in this country and fundamental to the goosestep march towards fascism we seem locked into. They’re the systems apologists who block any attempts at reform that can get us off this train to oblivion.

    If you are downvoting valid critical assessments of your own party because you don’t like them, then you are part of the problem. Develop a spine and develop some rhetoric. Stop accepting symbolic bullshit, and stop accepting excuses.
