BREAKING: Trump Et Al File Appeal of McAfee Ruling

Below is a statement from Steven Sadow:

“President Trump and seven defendants have jointly filed a motion requesting the Court to grant a certificate of immediate review of its Order denying dismissal of the case and disqualification of Fulton County DA Willis. The motion notes that the Court found that Willis’ 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. The motion further notes that the Court found Georgia case law lacks controlling precedent for the standard for disqualification of a prosecuting attorney for forensic misconduct. For these reasons among others, the Court’s Order is ripe for pretrial appellate review.”

I think this is exactly what McAfee wanted -- for the appellate court to handle this issue. That's why he went so far out of his way to insert the "odor of mendacity" into the ruling and conclude that Willis' behavior in and out of court was "legally improper" and "unprofessional." 

Now we get to see whether the state appeals court wants to deal with this political hot potato.
