Podcast appearances and mentions of judge mcafee

As we step into the new year, 2025, the legal landscape surrounding former President Donald Trump continues to unfold with significant developments. Over the past few days, several key court dates have marked crucial milestones in Trump's ongoing legal battles.On December 5, 2024, oral arguments were heard at the Georgia Court of Appeals regarding Trump's appeal from Judge McAfee's order declining to disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis. This case is part of the broader legal challenges Trump faces in Georgia, where he is under investigation for alleged election interference.Meanwhile, in the District of Columbia, Trump's legal team has been engaged in a series of filings related to the election interference case. On October 31, 2024, the government was due to file its opposition to Trump's request for leave to file a motion to dismiss based on the Appointments and Appropriations Clauses. This was followed by Trump's reply brief in support of his request, which was due on November 7, 2024.In another significant development, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has been hearing the government's appeal from Judge Cannon's order dismissing the indictment against Trump based on the alleged unlawful appointment and funding of Special Counsel Jack Smith. Amicus curiae briefs in support of Trump were due on November 1, 2024, and the government's reply brief was due on November 15, 2024.Additionally, in New York, Justice Merchan was scheduled to issue a decision on Trump's motion to set aside the jury's guilty verdicts based on the U.S. Supreme Court's Presidential Immunity decision on November 12, 2024.As these legal battles continue to unfold, it is clear that the coming year will be pivotal for Trump's legal fortunes. With multiple cases spanning various jurisdictions, the former President's legal team will be busy navigating these complex legal challenges.In the midst of these legal proceedings, it is worth noting that the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on Trump's presidential immunity appeal has had a ripple effect on several of these cases. The Court's judgment vacating the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals judgment and remanding the case to the D.C. Circuit has set the stage for further legal battles.As we look ahead to 2025, the legal saga involving Donald Trump promises to be as dramatic and unpredictable as ever. With each new development, the stakes grow higher, and the nation watches with bated breath.

It's Christmas Day, 2024, and the legal landscape surrounding former President Donald Trump remains as complex and contentious as ever. Over the past few weeks, several key developments have unfolded in various court cases involving Trump.One of the most significant recent events was the oral argument before the Georgia Court of Appeals on December 5, 2024. Trump and his allies appealed Judge McAfee's order declining to disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis from their case. This appeal is part of a broader legal battle in Georgia, where Trump faces charges related to election interference.Meanwhile, in Washington D.C., the election interference case against Trump continues to move forward. On October 3, 2024, Trump was required to submit a supplement to his motion to dismiss based on statutory grounds. This was followed by a series of filings and responses, including the government's opening brief on Presidential Immunity and Trump's renewed motion to dismiss based on Presidential Immunity, which were due on October 17, 2024.In another critical case, Trump's classified documents case in Florida has reached the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. After Judge Cannon granted Trump's motion to dismiss the superseding indictment based on the alleged unlawful appointment and funding of Special Counsel Jack Smith, the government filed its notice of appeal. The briefing schedule is now set, with Trump's appellee brief due on October 25, 2024, and amicus curiae briefs in support of Trump due on November 1, 2024.Additionally, Mark Meadows, a former Trump aide, has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari following the 11th Circuit's decision to dismiss his bid to move his state criminal case in Georgia to federal court. This development adds another layer to the intricate legal web surrounding Trump and his associates.As the year draws to a close, these cases continue to captivate the nation, with each new development shedding more light on the legal challenges facing the former president. The coming months will undoubtedly bring more twists and turns in these high-stakes trials.

In a recent and intriguing development, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis continues to navigate the potentiality of criminal charges against former President Donald Trump. What could be a major turning point in US political history is embedded in conversations Willis has been having with Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee.Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, has been a towering figure on the political stage for the past half-decade. His administration's policies got both ardent support and vehement opposition, but his impact on the country's discourse cannot be denied. As the law firms up its gaze on Trump, a potential trial could stir political dynamics even further.In the conversation with Judge McAfee, it was hinted that any trial regarding these charges would likely be deferred until 2029. The reason behind this nine-year wait is still under wraps, yet its suggestion adds another layer of intrigue to the on-going political discourse surrounding Trump's post-presidential life. The long wait also leaves plenty of time for political, social, and legal landscapes to change.The nature of the charges being considered by DA Willis is not specified. However, it should be noted that Trump has faced numerous allegations throughout and post his tenure, ranging from financial improprieties, violations of emolument clauses, to his involvement in inciting the January attack on Capitol Hill. This insinuates that the potential charges against Trump are unlikely to be minor, given Willis's intent on waiting for the opportune moment to bring them forward.As these conversations take place discretely in the halls of Fulton County's Superior Court, the public and media can only speculate on the magnitude and implications of such charges. The proposed delayed timeline signifies the gravity of the situation and the procedural meticulousness needed to deal with high-stakes cases involving influential figures.Meanwhile, Trump supporters see these potential charges as part of a ceaseless effort to tarnish the ex-President's image. To them, the delay seems like a strategy to keep Trump tangled in legal battles, diminishing his chances of a political comeback. Critics, on the other hand, applaud the justice system's resolve to hold prominent figures accountable.Regardless of where one stands, the potential charges against Donald Trump and the suggested timeline for his trial compose an unprecedented chapter in American political history. As we wait to see the outcome, the role of DA Fani Willis, Judge Scott McAfee, and the entire justice machinery becomes of utmost importance, given their influence on the direction this narrative takes. One thing is clear – the spotlight remains firmly on Trump, for better or worse.

The Georgia Court of Appeals has put a halt to the election subversion conspiracy case against Donald Trump and his co-defendants. The move ensures that the trial will not take place before the 2024 presidential election. The court has suspended proceedings until it decides if Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified. The appeals court is anticipated to rule on the disqualification in March 2025, though the exact timeline is unclear. Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee has previously allowed the case to proceed, as the appeals court considered the matter. Trump and his co-defendants have been pushing to have Willis disqualified because of a personal relationship with Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor. They claim Willis financially benefited from the relationship, but Judge McAfee found no evidence to support their claims. Willis' testimony during the proceedings shifted the focus to her personal life away from the charges against Trump and his co-defendants. Despite this, Judge McAfee allowed Willis to continue leading the case after Wade stepped down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Georgia Court of Appeals set an October date to hear President Donald Trump's appeal to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from her case against the former President for Georgia election interference. Even though Judge McAfee noted that an "odor of mendacity" – lying – permeated DA Willis' testimony regarding her relationship with Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade, he allowed Willis to remain on the case. Will the appeals court rule differently?

In a move that could have far-reaching implications, the Georgia Court of Appeals recently stated their intention to investigate the attempts to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D), a incident which, in itself, has roots dating back to a ruling earlier this year. The preceding District Judge, Scott McAfee, had determined that Willis would be able to evade disqualification from her case against presumed nominee Donald Trump if special prosecutor Nathan Wade was withdrawn from the case. It seems, however, the Appeals Court currently lacks a concrete date for the impending hearing. Previously, the DC Enquirer had reported that Judge McAfee didn't move to disqualify Willis from the case despite a protracted session aimed at demonstrating that the DA for Fulton County, Nathan Wade, had been dishonest to the courts. In his decree, Judge McAfee elucidated his thought process, proposing that it wasn't required to disqualify a constitutional officer when an alternate, less severe solution could be found. His ruling exemplifies his affinity for enabling all parties a fair opportunity to explore all potential courses of action. McAfee's final thoughts pointed to an 'appearance of impropriety' given the professional relationship between Willis and Wade. However, he stressed, no 'actual conflict' had emerged from this relationship. Thus, the judge respectfully chose a position that balanced the needs of both parties involved. His judgement was poised delicately, offering the State an opportunity to select between pronouncing Willis or Wade as the one to be set aside. 'The process of this case cannot advance until the State determines one among two choices,' he penned. This allowed the parties involved to consider their future actions carefully.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former President Donald Trump and several of his co-defendants are requesting permission to appeal Judge Scott McAfee's recent ruling, which failed to dismiss the Georgia election interference case against President Trump outright or to remove disgraced Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from prosecuting the former President. The motion noted that the Court found that DA Willis's actions “created an appearance of impropriety and an ‘odor of mendacity' that lingers in this case, but it nonetheless refused to dismiss the case or disqualify her.” Jordan, Jay, Logan, and the Sekulow team analyze and discuss this challenge to Judge McAfee's ruling, as well as a new ACLJ filing in the Supreme Court presidential immunity case, the White House's shocking statement regarding Israel, and much more.

The Georgia racketeering case against Donald Trump can proceed with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in charge. However, on Friday, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled that if Willis stayed on, her lead prosecutor, Nathan Wade, would have to leave the case. He stepped down later that day. One of Trump's co-defendants accused Willis of misconduct for having a romantic relationship with Wade, but Judge McAfee said it did not constitute the kind of conflict of interest that would require her removal from the case. Former prosecutor Titus Nichols explains how much Willis' case against Trump has been damaged by the accusations.And in headlines: Vladimir Putin unsurprisingly won his fifth term as Russia's president, Trump told a rally there would be a “bloodbath” if he doesn't win in November, and searches for VPNs shot up in Texas after Pornhub restricted access to its site in the state.Show Notes:What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Friday morning in Fulton County, Georgia, Judge Scott McAfee issued an opinion in the matter of the disqualification of District Attorney Fani Willis. It was not a complete victory for anybody. The defense didn't get Fani Willis booted from the case, but they did get Nathan Wade booted from the case. And Fani Willis has to contend with the loss of her special prosecutor, as well as some scorching criticism from the judge. Lawfare Editor-in-Chief Benjamin Wittes discussed it all on a live recording of the Lawfare Podcast with Lawfare Legal Fellow and Courts Correspondent Anna Bower, and Andrew Fleischman, a Georgia defense attorney and frequent Fani Willis critic. They talked about what Judge McAfee did, whether there is a serious prospect for a successful appeal, what Fani Willis's next moves are likely to be, and whether there's going to be a spree of plea deals in response.

America's Mayor Rudy Giuliani says Judge McAfee is trying to play both sides against the middle. In allowing Fani Willis to stay on the case, he left several issues unresolved. Willis admitted she took money from her campaign and Giuliani says that's a crime in the state of Georgia. We're going to trial against the former President of the United States with a DA who has an unresolved, serious felony. She also committed perjury approximately five times in her testimony which would have put most people in prison. Giuliani wants to know how we ended up with the three worst prosecutors in America? And every one of them is a Democrat, not even a single Independent. Judge McAfee knows this is an important case of international importance. Having once worked for Willis, he and his wife also donated to her campaign. You should recuse yourself if you're an honest judge. Fulton Co. Georgia is like New York, Chicago and Philadelphia, all run by the crooked Democrat machine. Giuliani became puzzled and disappointed in Bill Barr when he had Hunter Biden's laptop and didn't realize the imperative to examine it fully. Rarely does a prosecutor get a piece of evidence like this. It was the main focal point of the bag man, explaining why and what he's been doing for the corrupt family business. It was self incriminating and Giuliani has never seen a more damaging piece of evidence in his career as a lawyer. You have to realize it implicates a possible future President of the United States of America. Barr could have investigated before Joe was even nominated. Instead, he watched Joe lie on television calling it Russian disinformation. You have to come forward if you're the Attorney General. It wasn't just lying, it involved our national security. These bribes were coming from our biggest enemy, China. Giuliani says there was no explanation for Barr other than something corrupt was going on. They had something on him because he changed. He went from being a boy scout to a cover-up artist.GUEST: RUDY GIULIANI, AMERICA'S MAYORSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's Monday, March 18th, A.D. 2024.  This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus.  (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Coptic Christian Egyptian woman forced to convert to Islam Authorities in Egypt participated in the kidnapping and forcible conversion to Islam of a Coptic Christian woman, reports Morning Star News. Irene Shehata, a 21-year-old medical student at Asyut National University, disappeared on January 22 between mid-term exams in Asyut. Her father reported in February that she had managed to make a desperate, tearful call to her brother before a man seized the phone, according to Coptic Solidarity. During the call, Irene begged her brother either to rescue her or consider her dead and told him her location. Her brother heard her screaming, someone was yelling at her, and then the call ended. It seemed that she used the kidnapper's phone without his permission. Having learned that she was in the city of Sohaj, the family went there and reported the phone call and her location to police. Oddly enough, the police threatened to arrest the family if they tried to rescue her and warned them that the kidnappers were armed. Proverbs 29:2 says, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice, but when a wicked man rules, the people groan.” State Security officials have been dismissive and hostile to Irene's family, telling her father that she ran off with a Muslim man of her own free will. But the family described her kidnappers as “an organized terrorist group led by the Muslim Brotherhood to kidnap Christian girls in the Middle East.” The father said six other Christian girls or women “disappeared” from the area in one recent month. Egypt ranks 38th on Open Doors' 2024 World Watch List of the 50 countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian. Georgia prosecutor against Trump resigned Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor working with the Fulton County District Attorney's Office, resigned his post after a judge ruled Friday that District Attorney Fani Willis and her office may remain on the 2020 election case involving former President Donald Trump and his allies if Wade stepped aside, reports CBS News. Wade's resignation as special prosecutor came hours after Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee laid out two options that would allow for the continued prosecution of the racketeering case against Trump and his co-defendants stemming from an alleged scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.  Defense attorneys zeroed in on Fani Willis' inappropriate romantic relationship with Nathan Wade in which she benefited financially since Wade paid for their romantic getaway trips to Aruba, Belize, and Napa, California, using money he received through his contracts to be special prosecutor in the Trump case. Judge McAfee's order came after he tossed out six counts included in the indictment returned in August, including three against Trump.  Mike Pence will not endorse Donald Trump During an interview Friday afternoon with Martha MacCallum on FOX News, former Vice President Mike Pence said he will not be endorsing former President Donald Trump in 2024. MacCALLUM: “We have not spoken since former President Trump sewed up the nomination. Will you be endorsing your former president. You were on the ticket with him last time around?” PENCE: “It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year. I'm incredibly proud of the record of our administration. It was a conservative record that made America more prosperous, more secure, and saw conservatives appointed to our courts, and a more peaceful world. “That being said, during my presidential campaign, I made it clear that there were profound differences between me and President Trump on a range of issues, and not just our difference on my constitutional duties that I exercised on January the sixth.   As I have watched his candidacy unfold, I've seen him walking away from our commitment to confronting the national debt. I've seen him starting to shy away from a commitment to the sanctity of human life. And this last week, his reversal on getting tough on China and supporting our administration's effort to force a sale of ByteDance's Tik Tok.” MacCALLUM: Why do you think he did that? Why do you think he had that reversal on that before we go, sir?” PENCE: “I can't speculate on it. But what I can tell you is, is that in each of these cases, Donald Trump is pursuing and articulating an agenda that is at odds with the conservative agenda that we governed on during our four years. And that's why I cannot, in good conscience, endorse Donald Trump in this campaign.” Martha MacCallum asked the obvious follow-up question. MacCALLUM: “Who are you going to vote for in November?” PENCE: “Like most Americans, I'm I'm gonna keep my vote to myself. You know, I'm a Republican.” MacCALLUM: “Would you vote for President Biden?” PENCE: “I would never vote for Joe Biden. But how I vote when that curtain closes, that'll be for me.” The Ark and the Darkness movie: Unearthing the Mysteries of Noah's Flood Would you like scientific evidence for the worldwide flood which is described in Genesis 6-9?  Today I guest host for Kevin Swanson on Generations Radio and interview Dr. Daniel Biddle, President of Genesis Apologetics, about a powerful new film, in the theaters on Wednesday, March 20th and Thursday, March 21st only, called “The Ark and the Darkness: Unearthing the Mysteries of Noah's Flood.” Using a panel of 11 experts, including those from Answers in Genesis, “The Ark and the Darkness” movie provides proof that: Coal deposits reveal that the Earth was once incredibly more lush. There were 1,400 kinds of air-breathing land animals aboard the ark. The flood was worldwide, not regional. The sediment record is one of the most compelling evidences for the historicity of Noah's flood. There were recognizable animals like boa constrictors, boxed turtles, and ducks found buried next to dinosaurs from the flood but evolutionists have never featured them in any dinosaur museum exhibit. There have been dinosaur remains found with soft tissue that still had the stink of death. If it's 60-100 million years old, that's not possible. They have found muscle fiber, collagen, bone marrow, red blood cells which can last up to 100,000 years. If the worldwide flood occurred 4,400 years ago, then that's very feasible. Mark Armitage found soft tissue in a triceratops horn, published his discovery, and was promptly fired. Watch the trailer and go to the website to get tickets to see “The Ark and the Darkness” movie either on Wednesday, March 20th or Thursday, March 21st.  Listen to my 50-minute interview at Generations.org/radio.  St. Patrick brought thousands to Christ in Ireland And finally, yesterday was St. Patrick's Day.  But if you think it was all about wearing green, think again. Born in Britain in the fourth century A.D., 16-year-old Patrick was kidnapped by Irish pirates when they attacked his family's holiday villa by the sea before dawn.  Sold into slavery in Ireland to a Druid tribal chieftain, Patrick made a decision to follow Christ in the midst of his greatest trial. In his autobiography entitled Confession, Patrick wrote, “the Lord opened my senses to my unbelief.” He soon earned the nickname “Holy Boy” among his fellow slaves. At the age of 22, after shepherding many sheep, Patrick escaped and traveled 200 miles to the coast of Ireland. Two years later, he returned to the arms of his parents who begged him to stay in England. However, he felt called by God to return to Ireland. Patrick's parents fiercely opposed his plans, convinced that the barbaric Druids were not worth saving. He shared Christ with his former slaveowner, preached at racetracks, and other places of worldly indulgences, seeing many come to Christ. However, this was not without opposition. The Druids often tried to poison him. One time a barbarian warrior speared Patrick's chariot driver to death in an attempt to kill Patrick. He was often ambushed at his evangelistic events and was enslaved again for a short time. In his book, Patrick wrote, “As every day arrives, I expect either sudden death or deception, or being taken back as a slave or some such other misfortune. But I fear none of these, since I look to the promise of Heaven and have flung myself into the hands of the all-powerful God, who rules as Lord everywhere.” Patrick journeyed throughout Ireland, sharing Christ until his death on March 17, around the year 461 A.D. Romans 1:16 epitomized his life. “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, March 18th in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

It's another episode of “Trump's Trials and Tribulations,” recorded on March 14 in front of a live audience on YouTube and Riverside. Lawfare Editor-in-Chief Benjamin Wittes sat down with Lawfare Senior Editor Roger Parloff and Lawfare Legal Fellow and Courts Correspondent Anna Bower to talk about the Thursday hearing in the Mar-a-Lago case and everything Judge Cannon still needs to rule on.

As expected, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee granted district attorney Fani Willis permission to continue her racial hoax against Donald Trump. The prosecution of Trump in Atlanta is a racial lynching led by a racist. Judge McAfee was too afraid to put a stop to it because he knows that anti-white racism is popular in Atlanta. No one believes Trump and his cohorts committed election interference, let alone a level of interference that justifies criminal charges. Willis' prosecution solely depends on anti-white racism and political bias. Jason lays out his case as to why Fani and black Democrats are the most racist people in America. Shemeka Michelle joins “Fearless” to discuss the Willis decision and add her insights to our sit-down with social media personality Pearl Davis. Former Giants star running back Tiki Barber has found himself in a feud with another former Giants back, Saquon Barkley, after Barber made comments concerning Barkley's departure to Philly. That prompted ESPN's Ryan Clark to air his grievances with Barber from his rookie year in the NFL. Jason shares his take and pays homage to the career of Aaron Donald, who announced his retirement.

Judge Scott McAfee, who's presiding over the Georgia state RICO prosecution, granted a defense motion to dismiss six of the charges in the indictment, including three of the charges against Donald Trump. Judge McAfee ruled there wasn't enough specificity in the indictment regarding the precise nature of the crimes being charged. However, the judge told prosecutors - they can cure the technical defect in the indictment by re-indicting the charges with greater specificity. Glenn reviews the law surrounding charging with specificity and Judge McAfee's ruling.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Judge McAfee has ruled that Georgia DA Fani Willis can stay on Trump Georgia case if her secret lover special prosecutor Nathan Wade steps aside.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On March 13, Judge McAfee released an order quashing six counts in the Fulton County electoral interference indictment against former President Trump and his numerous co-defendants. These charges were related to alleged solicitation of violations of oath of office, and Judge McAfee quashed the charges due to insufficient evidence.To talk over the order and its implications, Lawfare Editor-in-Chief Benjamin Wittes sat down with Lawfare Legal Fellow Anna Bower and Anthony Michael Kreis for a live recording of the Lawfare Podcast on YouTube. They talked about what exactly a demurrer is and what led Judge McAfee to dismiss these counts. They also talked about what this order could say about how Judge McAfee might rule on the efforts to disqualify Fani Willis, whether it matters that these charges were dismissed, and whether the District Attorney will go back to a grand jury.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 140: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: The story that Robert F. Kennedy Junior wants football quarterback Aaron Rodgers to be his Vice President has now mutated from the ludicrous real life realms of the proverbial idiocracy, to shameful and disgusting and disqualifying and it is now SO bad that he will be lucky, WHEN this is over – IF it is ever over – if he still has a football career. It is THAT bad. CNN's Pamela Brown now reveals that nearly ELEVEN years ago – she was introduced to Aaron Rodgers at a post-Kentucky Derby party and, quoting Brown's story: “Hearing that she was a journalist with CNN, Rodgers immediately began attacking the news media for covering up important stories. Rodgers brought up the tragic killing of 20 children and 6 adults by a gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary School, claiming it was actually a government inside job and the media was intentionally ignoring it.” The WORST conspiracy theory of them all. THE worst. The Alex Jones stuff. The unforgivable, Rorshach test for insanity, inhumanity, depravity. And Aaron Rodgers not only failed it, he failed it nearly eleven years ago, and he failed it, and he failed it VOLUNTARILY – he was the one who brought it up, TO a reporter, TO a reporter who has somehow restrained herself from reporting it for nearly eleven years. And the nightmare-within-a-nightmare is: Aaron Rodgers is (or at best was) a Sandy Hook denier. And frankly I don't know if, in RFK Junior's eyes, that fact ELIMINATES Rodgers as a potential running mate, or… it clinches the spot for him. Also: The GOP has a new Biden Impeachment Plan: DON'T Impeach Biden. Don Lemon! You effed up! You trusted Musk! The Trump Mafia is celebrating the Georgia judge throwing out a handful of charges, but of course if he were going to throw out the whole case over Fani Willis on Friday, why would he bother to cull a few indictments now? And Alina Habba Dabba Do has the nerve to joke about Fani's name. B-Block (21:08) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: After Marjorie Taylor Greene may have baited President Biden into misidentifying murder victim Laken Riley as "Lincoln" (or at best she made exactly the same mistake the president did), Trump has autographed a photo of the poor woman in which he has written her name - and MISSPELLED IT. NBC's Ken Dilanian gets further and further into the right wing talking points on the disastrous Hur hearing. And Nancy Mace, who shamed fellow rape victims and herself by endorsing Trump after the E. Jean Carroll verdicts, is still demanding George Stephanopoulos apologize for what... SHE did. C-Block (30:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: In a brand new edition, this sounds like a terrifying and tragic story about another one of my dogs - my goofy boy Ted - until you get to the end where it turns out I'm just a lucky idiot and Ted's fine.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Since a grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, handed up an indictment in August of former President Donald Trump and 18 other defendants for their efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia, all eyes had been on the defendants' behavior and their legal fate. That was until an explosive filing by one of the defendants, Mike Roman, alleged that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had engaged in a kickback scheme through a romantic relationship she had with an outside prosecutor Willis had hired to participate in the case, Nathan Wade. Roman asked the presiding judge, Scott McAfee, to disqualify Willis and her office from the election case. Willis and Wade have since acknowledged their relationship but claim that Willis did not financially benefit from it.Last week, Judge McAfee held a two-day evidentiary hearing to determine whether Willis and Wade's relationship presented a conflict of interest, requiring the removal of Willis and her office from the case. Lawfare Research Fellow Matt Gluck discussed the hearing and what's likely to happen next with Lawfare Editor-in-Chief Benjamin Wittes, Lawfare Legal Fellow and Courts Correspondent Anna Bower, and Georgia trial and appellate lawyer and Fulton County court watcher Andrew Fleischman.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: On Thursday, a hearing was held to determine whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified from the Georgia election interference case she brought against former President Donald Trump. While being questioned by Trump's attorney Ashleigh Merchant, Willis was so adversarial that Judge Scott F. McAfee had to warn Willis that he would strike her testimony if she didn't begin directly answering the questions presented to her. After a 5-minute court break, Willis was asked about her financial situation—she complained about having to spend $50,000 of her own money in an unsuccessful campaign to become a member of the Fulton County Superior Court. Richard Fausset of The New York Times writes: “Fani Willis's testimony has a number of audiences: Judge McAfee, who will decide whether she should be disqualified from the Trump election case; the voters of Fulton County, who will decide whether to re-elect her to a second term later this year; the Fulton County residents who could serve on the Trump trial jury; and people around the country, who have to make up their mind about the legitimacy of her prosecution.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/02/15/us/fani-willis-trump-hearing/eb0398e0-1383-501c-85ec-13b34ee84fe4?smid=url-share Richard Faust of The New York Times writes: “Fani Willis says her physical relationship with Nathan Wade ended before former President Trump and his allies were indicted by her office in August 2023.” At another point, while being questioned by Donald Trump's lawyer Steve Sadow, Willis said that although Wade paid for several trips the two took together but she always repaid him in cash—she was unable to provide proof of the reimbursement.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (02/15/2024): 3:05pm- On Thursday, a hearing was held to determine whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified from the Georgia election interference case she brought against former President Donald Trump. According to allegations, Willis engaged in an improper, romantic relationship with the lead prosecutor of the case, Nathan Wade—paying him an estimated $650,000 in taxpayer money. Willis is also alleged to have directly derived financial benefit from the relationship with Wade in the form of several extravagant vacations. During the hearing, Robin Yeartie—a longtime friend of Willis—testified that Willis and Wade had a romantic relationship dating back to 2019. 3:20pm- Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has taken the stand to testify in a hearing to determine whether she should be disqualified from the Georgia election interference case she brought against former President Donald Trump.

It's game over for her. She will be disqualified.” 3:40pm- Flashback: In 2020, while speaking with The Atlanta Voice, Fani Willis explained why Georgians should support her efforts to become District Attorney of Fulton County—ironically explaining “because they deserve a DA that won't have sex with his employees.

Trump co-defendant Michael Roman last month first accused Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade of having romantic ties, claiming it rendered the far-reaching Georgia election interference indictment ‘fatally defective.'” Earlier this week, Willis insisted that she would not step down from the 34-count election crimes case, against Donald Trump despite the obvious conflict of interest and ethics violations. Willis' office has paid Wade an estimated $650,000. She is also alleged to have gone on numerous, extravagant vacations with Wade. You can read the full report here: https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4444803-fani-willis-trump-georgia-prosecutor-relationship/ 3:15pm- In a New York Times editorial from last month, Clark D. Cunningham—a law professor at Georgia State University—explains the legal consequences for the improper relationship between lead prosecutor in the Donald Trump Georgia election interference criminal case, Nathan Wade, and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Cunningham writes: “Mr. Wade was very involved in both the special grand jury investigation and the current criminal case, despite an absence of obvious qualifications. Although Ms. Willis has defended her decision to hire Mr. Wade, his previous experience as a prosecutor appears to have been largely limited to misdemeanors. The amount paid to Mr. Wade so far is substantial yet Mr. Wade's billing invoices obtained by Mr. Roman's lawyer are not well documented and don't always offer, for example, itemized time worked in increments of less than one day. If Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade are dismissed by Judge McAfee, it will be up to a state agency, the Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia, to appoint a prosecutor to take over from Ms. Willis. And that's where things could really go off the rails. Take one precedent: On July 25, 2022, Ms. Willis was disqualified from prosecuting Burt Jones, who was then a state senator, after she hosted a fund-raiser for Mr. Jones's eventual opponent in the race for lieutenant governor. Eighteen months later, the PACGA still hasn't appointed a special prosecutor, and Mr. Jones, now lieutenant governor, has not even been indicted. Delay is not even the worst possible outcome for the case if Ms. Willis is disqualified. A special prosecutor could decide to reduce or dismiss charges against some or all of the defendants, including Mr. Trump.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/24/opinion/fani-willis-trump-georgia.html 3:20pm- Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has admitted to having a personal relationship with lead prosecutor in the Donald Trump Georgia election interference criminal case, Nathan Wade—though she denies any wrongdoing.

Last week, three Army reservists were killed—and 34 service members were injured—in a drone strike at Tower 22, a U.S. military base in northeast Jordan.

And, the actual range of potential ‘IVs' that can do so extends well beyond race and sex to include: age, the regions where people and groups live, test and IQ scores, patterns of study time, crime rates, desire to work at all (in the context of men vs. women), and so on down the line.” You can find the full editorial here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/01/the-intersectionality-canard/.

The airstrikes, targeting command and control operations, intelligence centers, weapons facilities and bunkers used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force and affiliated militia groups, made good on President Biden's promise to respond to a drone attack in Jordan on Sunday that killed three American soldiers and injured at least 40 more service members.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/02/02/world/us-iran-strikes-middle-east-news/us-strikes-iranian-proxies?smid=url-share 6:15pm- Trial for Special Counsel Jack Smith's election interference case against former President Donald Trump has been delayed indefinitely as a federal appeals court considers Trump's claim of presidential immunity.

When asked about raising interest rates three-quarters of a percent in the face of 40-year-high inflation, Powell said such a move was off the table and called inflation ‘transitory'… Once the Senate confirmed him for a second term as chairman, however, Powell promptly delivered four of those three-quarter-percent interest rate hikes in a row and began reducing the Fed's balance sheet to belatedly fight runaway inflation.” You can read Dr. Antoni's full editorial here: https://www.heritage.org/monetary-policy/commentary/the-feds-powell-will-have-play-politics-keep-his-job 4:35pm- The Florida House of Representatives has passed legislation that would ban minors under the age of 16 from accessing social media. In response, Governor Ron DeSantis suggested he may veto the bill should it arrive at his desk, explaining: “To say that someone that is 15 just cannot have [access to social media] no matter what, even if the parent consents, that may create some legal issues.” You can read more here: https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/politics/2024/01/26/desantis-concerned-over-breadth-of-house-social-media-legislation/72368316007/ 4:45pm- Should government ban children from being able to access social media?

Listeners react to Florida's proposed legislation. 5:05pm- Robert Bork Jr.—President of the Antitrust Education Project & President of the Bork Communication Group—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Amazon's blocked acquisition of Roomba manufacturer iRobot. Progressives, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), had argued that the proposed acquisition would irreparably harm competing robot vacuum brands. Antitrust regulators in the European Union have helped American progressives successfully kill the $1.7 billion deal. Following the deals collapse, iRobot—a Massachusetts based company—was forced to lay off 350 employees.

This includes nearly a quarter million illegal aliens apprehended crossing the southern border, also a new record that smashed the former high mark (achieved, of course, under Biden border policies) of 224,400 in May 2022.

Cori Bush (D-MO) for “misspending of federal security money.” The House Sergeant at Arms has been subpoenaed for records relating to the allegations. One of her security guards has claimed that he has the ability to create tornadoes and can strike his opponents with lightening—Rep. Bush has paid him nearly $150,000. 6:50pm- While appearing on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow, E. Jean Carrol awkwardly joked that she intends to spend Donald Trump's money on new clothes and a penthouse. Last week, a Manhattan jury awarded Carrol $83 million in a defamation suit she filed against the former president. Trump has vowed to appeal the verdict.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: According to a report from Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman, the Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation into Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) for “misspending of federal security money.” The House Sergeant at Arms has been subpoenaed for records relating to the allegations. In a New York Times editorial, Clark D. Cunningham—a law professor at Georgia State University—explains the legal consequences for the alleged improper relationship between lead prosecutor in the Donald Trump Georgia election interference criminal case, Nathan Wade, and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Cunningham writes: “Mr. Wade was very involved in both the special grand jury investigation and the current criminal case, despite an absence of obvious qualifications. Although Ms. Willis has defended her decision to hire Mr. Wade, his previous experience as a prosecutor appears to have been largely limited to misdemeanors. The amount paid to Mr. Wade so far is substantial yet Mr. Wade's billing invoices obtained by Mr. Roman's lawyer are not well documented and don't always offer, for example, itemized time worked in increments of less than one day. If Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade are dismissed by Judge McAfee, it will be up to a state agency, the Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia, to appoint a prosecutor to take over from Ms. Willis. And that's where things could really go off the rails. Take one precedent: On July 25, 2022, Ms. Willis was disqualified from prosecuting Burt Jones, who was then a state senator, after she hosted a fund-raiser for Mr. Jones's eventual opponent in the race for lieutenant governor. Eighteen months later, the PACGA still hasn't appointed a special prosecutor, and Mr. Jones, now lieutenant governor, has not even been indicted. Delay is not even the worst possible outcome for the case if Ms. Willis is disqualified. A special prosecutor could decide to reduce or dismiss charges against some or all of the defendants, including Mr. Trump.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/24/opinion/fani-willis-trump-georgia.html Michael R. Gordon of The Wall Street Journal writes: “Three U.S. service members were killed and at least 34 were injured in an Iran-backed militia's drone strike on a base in northeast Jordan, U.S. officials said on Sunday, marking the first American troops killed in hostile action since the start of the Hamas-Israeli conflict in Gaza. A U.S. official said that the attack took place overnight at Tower 22, a small outpost near the Syria border. The drone struck living quarters for the troops, contributing to the high casualties, a U.S. official said. The strike, which was carried out by a one-way attack drone, signals an escalation in the fighting in the region. The president and secretary of defense said the U.S. would retaliate.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/three-u-s-troops-killed-in-drone-attack-in-jordan-b45ddb6b?mod=hp_lead_pos1 While speaking with Vice News in 2020, then-presidential candidate Joe Biden claimed that then-President Donald Trump would “get us into a war with Iran” as a way to distract from his reelection troubles.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: On Tuesday, New Hampshire held its Republican presidential primary with Donald Trump ultimately defeating Nikki Haley 54% to 43%. Meanwhile, despite not being sanctioned by the Democratic National Committee and consequently awarding no delegates, President Joe Biden defeated Rep. Dean Phillips 64% to 20%. Biden did not appear on the ballot—citing New Hampshire's prevention of South Carolina from becoming the party's first primary state—though his supporters did organize an extensive write-in campaign. According to CNN exit polling, 70% of the New Hampshire voters that cast their primary ballots for Haley in Tuesday's Republican presidential primary were not registered as Republicans—instead they were “undeclared” registrants. As the primary moves towards more conservative states, like South Carolina, will her support with independent-minded and moderate voters be enough to keep her campaign competitive? Peter Navarro, former Director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, has been sentenced to 4 months in jail for defying a Congressional subpoena. Could Hunter Biden face a similar fate if he doesn't cooperate with his own Congressional subpoena? Earlier this week, in a 5 to 4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court determined that the Biden Administration has the authority to remove concertina wire erected by Texas officials along the U.S. Southern border—designed to prevent the unlawful border crossings that continue to plague the state. According to reports, Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) has continued to place “razor wire” along the border—arguing that the Supreme Court may have authorized the federal government to remove the wiring, but he remains legally permitted to use the wire when he deems it necessary. On Wednesday night, United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain announced that the union would be endorsing President Joe Biden for reelection during a conference in Washington D.C. During his speech, Fain referred to presumed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump as a “scab” explaining: “If Donald Trump ever worked in an auto plant, he wouldn't be a UAW member. He'd be a company man trying to squeeze the American worker. Donald Trump stands against everything we stand for as a union, as a society.” In a New York Times editorial, Clark D.

He'd be a company man trying to squeeze the American worker. Donald Trump stands against everything we stand for as a union, as a society.” Meanwhile, Biden bragged to the crowd about how he has made buying America and building America a priority of his administration. However, Adam Cancryn of Politico writes: “In swing states and factory towns, Biden is making a resurgence in domestic manufacturing central to his reelection pitch. He's highlighting a surge of investments across the nation as evidence that an economic agenda centered on reviving the country's industrial core is just starting to pay off. But 10 months out from the election, those new factory projects remain in their early stages—and have yet to generate an anticipated wave of manufacturing jobs. And after a pandemic-era rebound, industry hiring overall has turned stagnant: Manufacturers added just 12,000 jobs in 2023 amid an extended business slowdown.” You can read Cancryn's full article here: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/01/19/biden-manufacturing-factory-jobs-00136473 4:20pm- Has your own gross negligence led to a razor wire injury?

Bizarrely, she was sentenced to only 2 years-probation and 100 hours of community service for the crime. Her defense team had argued that she had been pressured into doing the drugs and experienced “cannabis psychosis” which caused her to act irrationally. Do you think the California legal system should have punished her more severely? Furthermore, if cannabis psychosis can be this dangerous, shouldn't California ban recreational marijuana use? 5:45pm- Kellen Browning writes: “The chairman of Arizona's Republican Party resigned abruptly on Wednesday, a day after the publication of a 10-minute recording of a conversation between himself and Kari Lake, a former nominee for governor, in which he appeared to offer a bribe to persuade Ms. Lake to drop her 2024 Senate campaign. In the recording, which was published by The Daily Mail, Jeff DeWit, the chairman, tells Ms. Lake that there are ‘very powerful people that want to keep you out' of the race, and suggests he is passing on a message from them. He says he had been told to ask her: ‘Is there any companies out there or something that could just put her on the payroll and give her—to keep her out?' Later in the conversation, which Mr. DeWit repeatedly urges Ms. Lake not to repeat to anyone, he starts to ask, ‘Is there a number at which—' before Ms. Lake interrupts, saying ‘I can be bought?' He replies, ‘Not be bought,' but instead wait a few years before running.” You can read the full story here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/24/us/politics/kari-lake-arizona-gop.html 6:05pm- Matt Viser of The Washington Post writes: “Georges Bergès, an art gallery owner who gave small-dollar donations about 20 times to Donald Trump in 2020, signed an agreement shortly after that year's election to take on an unusual task: representing Hunter Biden, the son of President-elect Joe Biden, who was pursuing a nascent career as an artist. The agreement produced arrangements that drew concern from ethics experts…In total, there have been 10 buyers of the art, who have paid a sum of $1.5 million. Under their agreement, the gallerist received 40 percent of the sales while Biden took 60 percent. Three of the buyers have been identified, while the other seven remain anonymous. The largest share of the work—11 paintings, for a total of $875,000—went to Kevin Morris, who has become one of Biden's closest friends while also acting as an attorney and financial benefactor.” You can read the full story here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/01/23/hunter-biden-paintings-sold-15-million/ 6:15pm- During an interview with Katie Couric, Vice President Kamala Harris complained that Wikipedia inaccurately claims she is 5'2”—when in reality she is 5'4”…and 5'7” in heels! 6:20pm- Has your own gross negligence led to a razor wire injury?
