Dirty Fani is done.
The Georgia prosecutor who took over the 2020 election case against President Donald Trump and other co-defendants from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has dropped the case. Willis was disqualified from the case in 2024, and prosecutor Pete Skandalakis took up the case.
"In my professional opinion, the citizens of Georgia are not served by pursuing this case in full for another five to ten years," the prosecutor wrote, adding that he was ending the case "to serve the interests of justice and promote judicial finality."
Skandalakis wrote, "This entire case, from the initiation of the District Attorney’s investigation in 2021 to the present, is without precedent. A former President of the United States was indicted, along with 18 others, in a RICO indictment unequalled in Georgia history for its sweeping, nationwide scope, alleging 161 overt acts, 41 criminal counts, and 30 unindicted co-conspirators. The District Attorney who initiated the investigation was ordered to remove herself or her special assistant from the case.
"Meanwhile, on July 1, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its ruling in Trump v. United States. While that disqualification was being appealed, Donald J. Trump was re-elected as President. One month later, the Court of Appeals disqualified the District Attorney and her entire office. Before the Georgia Supreme Court could hear the District Attorney’s appeal, the former president was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States. Eight months later, the Georgia Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal, and the disqualification stood."
"Never before, and hopefully never again, will our country face circumstances such as these," he wrote
Fact fun: in Greek, Skandalakis means "Little Scandal"
