Judge Scott McAfee issued a strong rebuke of Fani Willis. He was right to do so.

Appearances matter when it comes to members of our government, and perhaps even more so when it comes to criminal prosecutors. This is why Fulton County, Georgia, Judge Scott McAfee ruled Friday morning that while there is not an actual conflict of interest preventing District Attorney Fani Willis from pursuing the election interference case against former President Donald Trump, there is the appearance of one.

” This is the crux of McAfee’s ruling. He is worried, rightfully so, about whether we, the public, view the legal system with respect, or whether we think it’s a system fixed against the public’s interest. And we are not just talking about the legal system writ large. In particular, we are talking about a case that accuses the former leader of the country of attempting to destroy our representative democracy from within. It’s hard to imagine higher stakes.
