In a sizzling development in the ongoing election interference case in Georgia, former President Donald Trump and his all-star team of co-defendants are shaking things up by demanding their day in court. They ain’t backing down, folks!
JUST IN: Trump and 7 co-defendants have asked Judge McAfee to issue a certificate of immediate review of his order denying disqualification of Fani Willis. The certificate, if issued, would allow the defendants to seek an immediate appeal of the order.https://t.co/JlqeqokqRK

The gang, which includes Trump’s former right-hand man Mark Meadows and the one and only Rudy Giuliani, are firing shots and asking Judge Scott McAfee to let them appeal the decision to keep Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on the case. They want a “certificate of immediate review,” which would let them kick this thing up to the next level. Game on, Your Honor!
The judge, in a shocking turn of events, did acknowledge that Willis had some explaining to do. He called out her “tremendous lapse in judgment” and even said there was a “odor of mendacity” floating around. But, get this, he still thought it was A-OK for her to keep on truckin’ with the case if she just gave the boot to her buddy, special prosecutor Nathan Wade.
But hold the phone, because Trump’s pack of legal eagles ain’t buying it. They’re shouting from the rooftops that getting rid of Mr. Wade just ain’t enough to erase the stink of sus behavior. They’re adamant that the higher-ups should step in and set things straight once and for all.
And don’t even get them started on Georgia State University law professor Anthony Michael Kreis. He’s out here saying he doubts the judge will give the green light to the gang’s appeal. But hey, they aren’t throwing in the towel just yet. These guys are ready to rumble!
So, will Judge McAfee let Trump and his crew throw down in the appellate court? Will the bigwigs up top decide to kick this case to the curb? It’s a nail-biter, folks, but you can bet your bottom dollar that these conservative warriors ain’t going down without a fight!
