What Happens if Fani Willis Is Disqualified From the Trump Case?

The prosecution of the former president and his allies on election interference charges would be thrown into limbo.

  • Share full article

is assigned to meaning

By Richard Fausset and Danny Hakim

  • Feb. 15, 2024

The stakes are high as a judge in Atlanta weighs whether the Fulton County district attorney, Fani T. Willis, should be disqualified from leading the prosecution of former President Donald J. Trump on election interference charges.

If Judge Scott McAfee determines that Ms. Willis has a conflict of interest because of her romantic relationship with the prosecutor she hired to manage the case, and that it merits disqualification, his decision would, by extension, disqualify her entire office.

The case would then be reassigned to another Georgia prosecutor, who would have the ability to continue with the case exactly as it is, make major changes — such as adding or dropping charges or defendants — or to even drop the case altogether. The decision to drop the case would end the prosecution of Mr. Trump and his allies for their actions in Georgia after the 2020 election, when the former president sought to overturn his loss in the state.

It would be up to a state entity called the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia to find someone else to take up the case. More specifically, the decision would fall to the council’s executive director, Pete Skandalakis, an experienced former prosecutor.

In an interview on Wednesday, Mr. Skandalakis said that he could ask a prosecutor to take on the Trump case voluntarily. But he could also appoint a prosecutor to do the job — whether that prosecutor wanted or not.

Mr. Skandalakis said he could also try to find a lawyer in private practice to replace Ms. Willis. But that is an unlikely scenario, he said, because he could only pay such a lawyer roughly $70 per hour.

Mr. Skandalakis’s options may be limited, because few prosecutors’ offices in Georgia have the size, or the budgets, to try a complex racketeering case that targets 15 defendants, among them a former president of the United States and his former chief of staff.

Picking a replacement would also be a politically complicated decision sure to raise the hackles of partisans in one party or another. Two of the larger district attorney’s offices in the state — with staffs and budgets that might be able to handle the Trump case — are those in DeKalb and Cobb counties, which cover populous swathes of the Atlanta suburbs. Those offices are currently headed by Democrats.

Mr. Skandalakis, a Republican, could also theoretically choose to appoint himself as the new prosecutor.

Mr. Skandalakis is considered to be fair-minded by a number of prominent Georgia Democrats. But he has also been criticized for moving slowly in the effort to find a prosecutor to consider whether Georgia’s lieutenant governor, Burt Jones, should face charges related to the Trump case.

A judge in July 2022 blocked Ms. Willis from developing a case against Mr. Jones, who served as a fake pro-Trump elector, because Ms. Willis had hosted a fund-raiser for one of Mr. Jones’s political rivals. No replacement prosecutor has been named.

This week, Mr. Skandalakis declined to say how quickly he would be able to find a replacement for Ms. Willis in the Trump case, if it were necessary.

Our Coverage of the Trump Case in Georgia

Former president donald trump and 18 others face a sprawling series of charges for their roles in attempting to interfere in the state’s 2020 presidential election..

RICO Charges:  At the heart of the indictment in Georgia  are racketeering charges under the state Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act . Here’s why such charges  could prove to be a powerful tool for the prosecution .

Who Else Was Indicted?:   Rudy   Giuliani , who led legal efforts in several states to keep the former president in power, and Mark Meadows , the former White House chief of staff, were among the 18 Trump allies  charged in the case.

Plea Deals: Sidney K. Powell , Kenneth Chesebro  and Jenna Ellis  — three lawyers indicted with Trump in the case — pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors   against the former president.

Lt. Gov. Burt Jones: Since the indictment of Trump and his allies, a question has gone unanswered: Would charges also be filed against the longtime Trump supporter? It is now up to a state agency to find a special prosecutor to investigate him .

Kansas City Mayor Accuses Missouri Gov. Mike Parson of Racial 'Dog Whistle' After He Called Parade Shooters 'Thugs'

H aving perused several dictionaries for the definition of the word thug, I found that the meaning is relatively colorblind. There is no particular race attached to the word.

Merriam-Webster defines it as "a violent or brutish criminal or bully." The Oxford Dictionary defines it as "a violent person, especially a criminal."

People can assign cultural or racial overtones, but that is a result of individual choice.

It seems that Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas, a Democrat, has chosen to do exactly that while Missouri Gov. Mike Parson, a Republican, chose quite the opposite. Yet, it is Lucas who is pointing his finger at Parson and calling him a racist. Who actually is the racist, though, when you really look at the situation?

According to Breitbart , it all began following the Wednesday shooting at the parade celebrating the Chiefs winning of the Super Bowl. Towards the end of the parade, two individuals traded rounds. One person was left dead, and over twenty were injured.

Responding to the event last Wednesday, Parson said, “We can’t let some thugs just take over and ruin what happened.”

That statement compelled Lucas to take aim at the governor. He could have simply left well enough alone, realized what Parson was trying to do, and helped. But Lucas chose otherwise. Democrats never let an opportunity go to waste.

Parson was simply encouraging people not to allow the terrible incident to sour an important moment for Kansas City and the Chiefs. With so much bleakness overshadowing just about everything all the time these days, Parson didn’t want this to happen here.

Lucas had other plans, however. Apparently, he wanted to escalate exactly what Parson was trying to prevent.

Instead of supporting the governor and seconding his stance with his own encouraging words, Lucas decided to stir the pot and sew divisiveness. He cited Parson’s use of the word "thugs,"

as a "dog whistle."

Lucas told KCUR's "Up to Date" radio program, “I have respect for the governor. We get along well. I disagree strongly with how he would describe that situation. I certainly do think this was criminal activity. It was lawlessness, and I think that that’s troubling. But ‘thugs’ is a dog whistle in the most classic sense.”

Lucas continued to push the issue, noting that he’s seen conservatives use this type of rhetoric more than once. He also conveyed that conservatives also have the tendency to jump to the conclusion that the shooters’ mug shots weren’t being released because both were black. If the shooters had been white, however, the mug shots would have been released on the spot.

"I’ve seen this dog whistle time and again. There’s this kind of giant conservative theory on social media now that the reason these mug shots haven’t been shown is because the purported defendants are black, and if it were a white defendant, we would have just shown them. That is absolutely preposterous. There are protections to juveniles,” he continued.

How meritless and ignorant to jump to such a conclusion. Following that way of thinking, one could easily say that Lucas is committing reverse prejudice in a significant way.

The two juveniles at the center of the incident were accused of gun-related crimes and resisting arrest. And apparently, further charges are forthcoming according to the Associated Press .

Lucas’ offense in all of this is throwing Parson under the bus. There is no other way to color it. The Kansas City mayor didn’t just disagree with the way the governor described the shooters, he used it to further destructive racial tactics and messaging, pitting one against the other. Like our nation needs more of this.

He loaded the word "thug’" racially and then pulled the trigger to add to the Democrats' agenda to keep this nation divided. If these two thugs weren’t able to kill the Chiefs’ and fans’ joy, Lucas certainly would try. This is how his actions certainly come across.

Democrats are not only running their own cities into the ground, they are running the morale of the United States into it, too. With 182 homicides in 2023 in Democrat-run Kansas City, according to Breitbart, electing more Democrats to political seats will certainly bury the city.

Missouri State Rep. Ashley Aune, a Democrat, insisted otherwise. She seems as blind as Lucas is.

What Does Room Assigned at Check-in Mean?

Room assigned at check-in refers to the specific hotel room that you are allocated when you arrive and check in at the front desk. This could be a room that you requested when making your reservation, or it could be a room that is assigned based on availability at the time of check-in. Understanding what it means can help you better prepare for your stay and avoid any potential misunderstandings or disappointments.

When you book a hotel room, you may have the option to choose specific preferences such as a non-smoking room, a room with a view, or a room with certain amenities. However, it’s important to note that these preferences are not always guaranteed. Room assignments are typically based on availability, and hotels will do their best to accommodate your preferences, but it’s not always possible to guarantee them.

FAQs About Room Assigned at Check-in

1. How can I ensure that I get the room I want at check-in? To have the best chance of getting the room you want, it’s recommended to call the hotel directly before your stay and make your specific requests known in advance. This will give the hotel staff time to try and accommodate your preferences.

2. What should I do if I’m unhappy with the room assigned at check-in? If you’re not satisfied with the room you are assigned at check-in, it’s best to communicate your concerns with the front desk staff. They may be able to offer you an alternative room if available.

3. Are there any additional fees for specific room requests? Some hotels may charge an additional fee for specific room requests such as a room with a view or a room on a higher floor. It’s best to inquire about any potential fees when making your reservation.

4. Is it possible to upgrade my room at check-in? In some cases, you may have the option to upgrade your room at check-in for an additional cost. It’s best to inquire about upgrade options with the front desk staff.

5. What happens if the hotel is unable to accommodate my room preferences at check-in? If the hotel is unable to fulfill your room preferences at check-in, they may offer you alternative options or seek to accommodate your preferences as soon as possible during your stay.

6. How does the hotel determine room assignments? Room assignments are typically based on a number of factors including availability, reservation details, and specific guest requests.

7. Is there a best time to check-in to get the room I want? The best time to check-in can vary depending on the hotel’s occupancy levels. It’s best to inquire about the best check-in times when making your reservation or calling the hotel directly.

8. Can I make specific room requests online when booking? Many hotel booking websites allow you to make specific room requests when booking online. It’s recommended to include any preferences in the comments or requests section when booking.

9. What should I do if I have a special accommodation requirement? If you have special accommodation requirements such as accessibility needs, it’s best to communicate these details with the hotel directly when making your reservation.

10. Is it possible to change my room assignment after check-in? In some cases, it may be possible to change your room assignment after check-in. It’s best to communicate any concerns or requests with the front desk staff.
