Based on my decades of legal experience, any judge other than this Judge in this Hearing would not have tolerated Fani's outbursts and disrespect she displayed for everybody including the Court.

This judge can have some backbone if he wants to: He immediately warned someone that he will have to step out if it happened again after someone was heard laughing when Wade said he received cash.

Basically, this judge let Fani come in unannounced, neither party had called Fani as a witness yet since they were still arguing the attorney-client privilege issue, the judge had NOT yet ruled on the issue and Fani just sat at the witness seat not even giving the Court an opportunity to rule which is highly disrespectful to the Court.

Any other judge would have given Fani 1 stern warning that she would be found in contempt of the Court if it (accusatory tone, hostility, outbursts, speeches etc.) happened again and then the 2nd time Fani disrupts or have another outbursts, she will be sitting in County lockup.

That judge was in Fani's pocket. No other explanation for how the Judge acted when Fani just walked in and took total control and took over the Courtroom.

Any attorney knows that all judges make it absolutely clear who is in control over the courtroom and the judges take it very seriously and even personally if they perceive any disrespect towards the Court and sanctions will fly.

Yup, that Judge was totally biased in favor of Fani due to their prior relationship or intimidated by the one person who can charge anybody (in Fulton co.) with any crime(s) at anytime prior to her leaving office.

Ah yes I forgot that any judge who isn’t actively engaged in slobbing Trump’s knob is automatically biased or corrupt or something. Do you people hear yourselves.

"McAfee was an assistant district attorney in the Barrow County, Georgia, Piedmont Judicial Circuit.[8] He joined the office of the district attorney in Fulton County, Georgia, in April 2015, initially working on the early stages of criminal cases.[9] He later was promoted to working as a prosecutor in the complex trial division, which was then headed by prosecutor Fani Willis, who was later elected as Fulton County district attorney.[i][u][1][10] McAfee was eventually promoted to senior assistant district attorney in the major case division, where he prosecuted felony cases including armed robbery and murder.[5][1]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_F._McAfee#:~:text=State%20judge%20in%20Fulton%20County,-See%20also%3A%20State&text=In%20December%202022%2C%20Kemp%20appointed,case%2C%20State%20of%20Georgia%20v.

First, this Judge is only 34 years old and has been on the bench for only about 2 years although he may look older due to his receding hair line. A definite rookie.

Second, it looks like Fani is the one that promoted McAfee to the complex trial division and then further promoted McAfee to 'senior assistant district attorney' position when Fani was her self elevated to the top position of DA.

The 2 promotions he received from Fani and years of being in a subordinate position to Fani is a clear and present conflict under the Judicial Canons of Georgia.

I was wondering why the Judge was so subservient to Fani in his own courtroom.

Now it makes sense.

They are good at digging up dirt on people -- Fanni should have done a little more research into Trump's tactics. This is a tried and true strategy. He repeats it because it works, and Fanni is his latest victim.

[/b]She shouldn't have had a relationship at work, period. But it wasn't a crime, no nepotism, no one's screaming sexual abuse here. It has nothing to do with the prosecution of Trump and his allies -- NOTHING.

Read it for what it is, and don't fall into the trap they set for you.

Let the trial begin!!!

It actually is a crime. She violated Fulton County ethics laws. She had a legal duty to disclose the relationship and any gifts over $100. She did not. Additionally, she has opened up Fulton County to potential hostile workplace and discrimination claims. You do not date people you have supervisory responsibility over period. Any company in the US with HR policies in place would fire you for this.

Two things can be true at once. She can be guilty and so can Trump/the other defendents.

She didn't get any gifts.

She and her boyfriend went dutch on meals and trips.

It's so convenient to deal with cash only in these types of situations, isn't it? Becomes a he said/she said situation. It's how a lot of criminals get away with their crimes.

I thought only drug dealers used wads of cash to take care of their business. I guess the top prosecutor in Fulton County, Georgia conducts her business with wads of cash as well. Maybe IRS should look into this since IRS has hundreds of more investigators now to investigate these potential tax fraud cases.

Using cash to reimburse people for things is not illegal and the IRS or anyone else doesn’t need to investigate it.

It's still a great way to give your secret lover cash. No Venmo or Zelle. No way to trace. Street savvy attorneys!

Or, it could be a bunch of dutch dates. There is absolutely no proof of impropriety, which the defendents in this case have to prove. They haven't but are happy to have people like you slinging mud and false assertions.

+1000. All they have is an assortment of half-baked and unfounded accusations with nowhere near enough solid evidence to prove any of it. And, Willis was pretty clear on her philosophy with regard to dating. Having been through some bad relationships she wanted to pay her own way and to not to be beholden to any man financially. She testified to that.

It is odd that she never paid for the two of them when planning any trips and had him reimburse her for his portion.

She explained this. Did you listen to the testimony?

She's hilarious claiming that her own testimony is proof, no you need evidence and corroborating witness, hopefully her evidence against Trump is stronger and not made up

Is the concept of evidence new to you? Witness testimony is direct evidence, which most of the country seems to believe is better than circumstantial evidence. I disagree with the latter, but it’s what people say.

The problem is that Fani said her testimony is a "proof". Her testimony is just one piece of "evidence" in addition to other evidence properly introduced at the trial.

Her testimony shows she does not even understand the very basics of the legal system let alone the trial practice and Rules of Evidence.

Your problem is there's [b]no solid or conclusive evidence to disprove or refute most of her testimony or to back up the bogus "corruption" narrative that the Trump lawyers have been trying to pitch.

And, she knows this. That is why she claims to have paid him in cash.
The judge can take this into consideration when he makes his decision. Pretty convenient that neither of them have any bank statements to prove or disprove her claim.

She is not on trial, so the burden of proof is not so high. It is not required to prove the case. The judge is free to use best judgment and see that she is lying.

So somehow your wiki quote makes him "subservient" to her? Have you ever met a lawyer? A prosecutor? Or a judge?

Or anyone?

This judge has been practicing law for all of 6 (six) years before becoming a Judge (odd and highly unusual) and of those 6 total years of legal experience, 4 of those were working as a assistant DA for Fani Willis.

I would say this McAfee guy was definitely molded/influenced and still influenced by Fani.

Most judges would not have tolerated her behavior in the courtroom - from showing up unannounced to arguing with attorneys while on the stand.
He admonished her twice, but she deserved much more criticism from the judge.

Things quickly went off the rails. Willis didn't act much like a traditional witness and was more like a prosecutor, arguing with the defense attorneys, raising objections, making legal arguments and even having exchanges with the judge. She even raised her voice at one point.

This led to a few rebukes from McAfee, who urged her and other attorneys in the courtroom to maintain "professionalism" and to not "talk over each other."

Willis repeatedly accused some of the defense attorneys of peddling lies - before and after the judge's admonishment.

"You've lied in this. ... I think you lied right here," Willis said to attorney Ashleigh Merchant, pointing to copies of filings that raised accusations of self-dealing and nepotism.

Oh please. The entire circus was intolerable. Why was her behavior over the line while the rest of it is fine? How often is a DA grilled on the stand about her sex life? Asking her dad when she started sleeping with a guy?

Intolerable.

I will not.

My postings are not only based on 19 years of legal experience but I I also watched every second of ALL the arguments and ALL the testimony including any comments by the judge over 2 days.

My point is precise that judges do not tolerate the behavior/conduct Fani displayed period. In any other courtroom such a behavior will 100% result in contempt of court based on my 19 years of legal experience.

Thereby, only plausible explanation is that he directly received 2 promotions and directly worked under Fani for 4/6 years he had been a lawyer before becoming a judge.

Tell me how many times you have seen a DA on the stand, asked about when she slept with a guy?

19 times? Or never?
