'Her Credibility Is Shot'

Sarah Krissoff, a former Manhattan federal prosecutor and defense attorney with the law firm Cozen O'Connor, told Business Insider that she doesn't see potential perjury charges on the horizon for Willis.

"It would be difficult to bring any such charges given the nature of the dispute, and the fuzziness of the testimony," said Krissoff.

Still, both Rahmani and Krissoff agreed that Willis' credibility has taken a substantial hit following the hearing.

Rahmani said the distraction of it all is enough that Willis should recuse herself from the Trump case.

"Her credibility is shot," Rahmani said of Willis, adding that the district attorney should "absolutely" step down from the election interference case even if Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee rules that she should not be disqualified from the case.

These are people sympathetic to Fani Willis. They're arguing that Willis and Nathan Wade couldn't be prosecuted for perjury and didn't commit an actual conflict of interest, but ... she has to recuse anyway. Does anyone think that Willis would recuse at this point, though? If she had any inclination to do so, Willis would have withdrawn before the February 15 hearing.
