Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, who is overseeing the case against former President Donald Trump, made a small donation of $150 to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ campaign prior to his appointment.
McAfee, who was sworn in on Feb. 1, 2023 after being appointed by Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, made his donation in June 2020 while still working as an assistant U.S. Attorney for the Department of Justice (DOJ), according to financial disclosures. He will soon have to decide whether Willis should be disqualified over allegations that she financially benefited from appointing her romantic partner, Nathan Wade, to work on the Trump case.
McAfee also formerly worked under Fani Willis when she led the complex trial division in the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, according to the New York Times.

Atlanta-based criminal defense attorney and legal analyst Philip Holloway told the Daily Caller News Foundation McAfee’s donation was “nominal,” but said it should still have been disclosed to the defendants so they could determine “whether they believed that amounted to a conflict of interest on the part of the judge.”
“The donation itself is more or less a token amount and was made prior to his becoming a judge,” he said. “But failure to disclose to the defendants a political donation to the prosecutor can be seen as a present appearance of a conflict of interest. Judges are required to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest.”
McAfee has not shied away from delivering unfavorable decisions to Willis, and reprimanded her several times for her behavior on the stand.

Last week, McAfee oversaw the hearing on Trump co-defendant Michael Roman’s motion to disqualify Willis. He previously declined the district attorney’s request to cancel the hearing.
McAfee’s other donations include $200 to Kemp’s campaign in 2018 and $200 to Republican state representative candidate Lyndsey Rudder’s campaign in 2020, according to financial disclosures. McAfee’s wife donated $99 to Willis’ campaign in 2020 and $101 in 2018.
During the primary, Willis was running against former Democratic Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard Jr.

Andrew Fleischman, an Atlanta-based criminal defense attorney, disagreed that the donation needed to be disclosed to the defense.
“It is such a routine part of how Georgia judges and attorneys interact that I don’t think it should have been disclosed, necessarily, past the mandatory disclosures,” he told the DCNF.
The Georgia Code of Judicial Conduct states that judges should “avoid both impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in their professional and personal lives.”

During last week’s hearing, Willis and Wade maintained on the witness stand that their relationship began after Wade’s contract started, despite a long-time friend of Willis testifying to the contrary. The two said there is no documentation showing Willis reimbursed Wade for travel expenses because she paid him in cash.
The district attorney’s office and the Superior Court of Fulton County did not immediately respond to requests for comment. McAfee could not be reached.

Fani Willis is a shining example of what happens when hiring is based on diversity instead of merit​

If you’ve been wondering how someone as bumbling and incompetent as Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis ended up in such a powerful position prosecuting a former president, you’re not alone. When she took the stand last week, her gaffes might have even been comical if there wasn’t so much at stake in the case she’s responsible for.

Willis was being questioned about conflicts of interest after she hired her married lover, Nathan Wade, and made him special counsel on the biggest case of her career and one that she had to know would draw intense scrutiny. The lovers’ lavish vacations were a big sticking point as it looked like she may have benefited from Wade’s new position and earnings – although she insists she always kept high volumes of cash on hand and paid him for her half of the expenses of their trysts.

At one point during questioning, she thought the attorney was actually calling her a “cash whore” when he said “cash hoard,” prompting him to spell out the word so she could follow along better. She did all this while wearing a dress that she appeared to have put on backward, the zipper visible down the front of it if you look close enough.

The whole hearing was so bad that even liberals want her to step down because they’re so worried their case against Trump will fall apart with her at the wheel.

Revolver points out that this is a problem of their own making in their relentless push for “diversity”, writing: “After all, Fani Willis is the avatar of DMV America—the combination of racial caste system and kakistocracy that the American regime is determined to erect in what was once the world’s proudest meritocratic society.”

Indeed, there are many other women in similar positions to hers who appear to be so incompetent that many believe they were also hired based on diversity criteria rather than merit.

Kim Foxx​

One example is Cook County District Attorney Kim Foxx, whose name became familiar to many when she tried to let actor Jussie Smollett off the hook for inventing a story about being attacked because he was black and gay. In that case, a special prosecutor had to come in and make things right.

However, giving black celebrities preferential treatment is far from her only offense. One of her most questionable moves was specifying that felony theft charges should only be brought against criminals who have at least ten previous felony convictions. That is an extremely high threshold that means lots of people who committed very serious crimes were never held accountable for them.

Similarly, former State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby tried to use the Freddie Gray case as her ticket to prominence, but her prosecution of the local police was so clearly politically motivated and conveyed the message that Baltimore was a place where people can get away with whatever they want. As a result, Baltimore quickly turned into one of the world's most violent cities.

Nevertheless, she ended up using the pandemic as an excuse to be even softer on crime. Mosby also had to reputation for firing prosecutors she did not like. She was even found guilty of mortgage fraud after lying to a lender about the source of closing funds on purchasing a condo.

Kim Gardner​

Then there is St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner. In her six-year reign as the top prosecutor there, she allowed the murder rate to reach 87 per 100,000 people. This placed it in the top 10 murder capitals in the world and is more than twice the rate of notoriously violent Johannesburg, South Africa.

Gardner was forced to drop criminal charges against people who were accused of murder due to mistakes in handling their cases, and she admitted that she had paid for her personal apartment with campaign funds. On one occasion, she falsely accused the police of pulling her over while she was driving without any cause simply to intimidate her; camera footage later showed that she had been driving without headlights.

Of course, no one is saying that black women should not hold positions of power, but qualifications and capabilities should be given greater weight, while race and gender should not come into the equation at allin hiring decisions.
 
Nathan Wade, Fani's lover-boy and chief prosecutor, who never prosecuted or was part of felony cases before, placed in charge of investigation of the local jail has no work product to be published after 5 months of work so far.
