Trial - An October 4th, 2024 hearing has been set to determine if Fani Willis can remain on the case.
The Georgia Court of Appeals has now halted all action on the case until they determine Fani Willis' eligibility. That ruling may not happen until March, 2025.

Conviction
Sentencing
Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, or the Arizona fake electors, have not been announced.
The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it's a civil case and not a crimimal one. He was found liable in that case for $83.3 million.
There had been multiple cases in multiple states to remove Trump from the ballot, citing ineligibility under the 14th amendment.
The Supreme Court ruled on March 4th that states do not have the ability to determine eligibility in Federal elections.
Nice leg work! Thank you! 🙏
Thank you for your work on the where we are at summaries!
FUCK.
This woman really shit the bed on a slam dunk because she wouldnt look further than down the hall for dick. We have tapes of Trump pressuring election officials, but it doesn't matter because she wanted to pay cash to go on vacation with one out the 3 people in the whole world she wasn't supposed to. Probably 10,000 fine men in her zip code looking for an attractive high powered lawyer and she couldn't look outside her office suite number. Dumb fuckin error.
I don't understand why it matters at all. Seriously. What's the problem?
Its an ethical violation, which aint great, but mostly its fodder for the defense. Its provided the appearance of impropriety, and when you're going after trump you need to be above reproach. Otherwise this shit will happen. Trump slings mud, and while everybody is trying to figure out what's going on he moves on to cause another fire. Because his strategy is never to win, but to outlast. Fanni was supposed to lay siege to the Trump fortress and bring it down, but attacked without paying hede to her own defenses and now a straight forward plan of attack has become a quagmire with a crisis of leadership due to an unforced error.
Its provided the appearance of impropriety
Why does that matter? These fuckers think that a woman having a job is an impropriety.
I'm dead serious, I just do not get it. It's like a cyclical argument. Why is this prosecution in trouble? Because they did something that gives Trump ammunition to attack the prosecution. What did they do? They gave Trump ammunition to attack the prosecution. What was the "ammunition"? The ammunition was the act of giving Trump ammunition to attack the prosecution. And on and on
If she was dating the person who appointed her to the case, sure. Potential for bias/corruption. If she was dating a defense counsel, sure. If she was dating a witness, sure. She was dating another consultant on her own team. Who gives a flying fuck? Would anyone have a problem with a husband and wife team on the same prosecution? They're working together, there's no potential for bias or corruption or anything.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A Georgia appeals court has halted the election subversion conspiracy case against former President Donald Trump and several of his co-defendants until a panel of judges rules on whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified.
The new order filed on Wednesday from the Georgia Court of Appeals is the latest indication that a trial in the state-level Georgia election subversion case will not occur before the 2024 presidential election.
The appeals court is expected to rule on the disqualification issue by March 2025, though it could issue a ruling sooner.
Several sources close to the case have told CNN that the timeline remains very uncertain.
Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee had initially allowed proceedings in his courtroom to continue as the appeals court weighed an appeal of his decision to allow Willis to remain on the case.
