The Georgia Supreme Court ruled swiftly and unanimously against Donald Trump and his motion to disqualify DA Fani Willis and quash the special grand jury report.
The state Supreme Court writes in a 5-page unanimous decision:
In addition, this Court has held that, even where a defendant had determined that a special purpose grand jury acted unlawfully, neither dismissing the subsequent indictment nor suppressing the evidence was the proper remedy for putting the grand jury beyond the reach of the grand jury. because there was no violation of the defendant’s constitutional rights. and no structural defect occurred in the grand jury trial.
And with regard to Petitioner’s request for disqualify Willis of representing any party in any and all proceedings involving him, we note only that petitioner in his original petition presented neither the facts nor the law necessary to justify Willis’ disqualification by this court at this time on this record to oblige. For these additional reasons, the petitioner has failed to demonstrate that this case is one of the extremely rare circumstances in which the original jurisdiction of this Court should be invoked, and the petition is therefore dismissed.
The motion to quash the special grand jury report and disqualify Willis was Trump’s Hail Mary to avoid criminal charges in Georgia. The country has seen the same movie Trump has submitted over and over again since he lost the 2020 election.
Trump allows his lawyers to make frivolous claims that have no legal leg to stand on because the former president uses the courts to send political messages to his supporters.
Legal experts understood that Trump’s motion to the state Supreme Court would not work. It didn’t stop the one-time president from trying to appeal to his supporters and delay proceedings in Georgia.
Donald Trump is headed for criminal charges in Georgia, and the state Supreme Court won’t bail him out.
