Judge Scott McAfee ruled Friday that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis need not be disqualified from prosecuting the election-related RICO case against Donald Trump. But McAfee provided Republicans with plenty of ammo to target Willis in other ways if they so choose. In that sense, McAfee’s ruling on the effort to disqualify Willis is reminiscent of special counsel Robert Hur’s report in the classified documents probe of President Joe Biden.
McAfee’s ruling may be used as a pretext by lawmakers to derail Willis' prosecution. And I fully expect them to do so. But I differ with those who think Willis should step aside now in order to defuse these attacks and avoid the possibility of her case falling apart. That's because doing so means ceding ground to an ugly tradition of racism that Trump and his movement have brought to the fore: efforts to attack and undermine Black law professionals.
