[quote=Anonymous]Looking at past recall efforts, the odds are pretty good that Steve Descano, the Commonwealth's Attorney for Fairfax County, will end up filing a pre-hearing brief arguing that the case should not go to trial because there is not clear and convincing evidence that Tholen abused her position.  And then the circuit court judge will likely accept that recommendation, unless it's so blatantly partisan that it can't be accepted (in which case the judge would rebuke Descano's office for not taking their job seriously).

When that happens, there will be additional ammunition for those seeking to recall Descano, and the groups that pushed the recall will say the Democratic establishment in Fairfax County ignores parents and should be voted out in future elections.  It's not great for Tholen because it will calling attention again to the fact that the petition organizers got enough signatures to get a county prosecutor involved, but it's not going to unseat her before 2023.
