The whole decision is riddled with contradictions such as these. Though McAfee clearly condemns Willis’s attempt “to cast racial aspersions at [Trump’s] decision to file this pretrial motion” (in other words, race-baiting), McAfee ends up throwing his hands in the air, saying that “the case is too far removed from jury selection to establish a permanent taint of the jury pool.”

Imagine the voir dire here: It is the autumn of 2024 in perhaps the most crucial swing state in the country, and we are made to believe that every adult in Fulton County won’t have been tainted by Willis’s theatrics. It is indeed preposterous. ...

If Wade does not completely exit the case, McAfee at least demands that Willis and her office relinquish the prosecution. But in a legal proceeding so unprecedented, why take the chance? Especially when McAfee himself seems so uncomfortable with Willis’s conduct?
