Atlanta Billboards Mock Trump’s Felony Convictions
By Doug Reardon

Former President Donald Trump may not like what he immediately sees when he arrives on the ground in Atlanta for Thursday’s historic debate with President Joe Biden.
The Democratic National Committee has paid for and erected five billboards trolling the former president for his recent felony convictions on financial crimes out of New York.
The signs read: “Donald. Welcome to Atlanta for the first time since becoming a convicted felon. Congrats – or whatever…”
The billboards will be installed along parts of I-85 near Plasters Avenue, along I-85 near Buford Highway and along I-75 near Lakewood Freeway —where Trump is likely to see them on his way from the airport to the city.
In May, Trump was convicted on 34 felony crimes related to hush money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels in exchange for her silence about an alleged affair.

Appeals court rules 4 Trump co-defendants can’t move Georgia election charges to federal court
BY ZACH SCHONFELD
10/24/24
An appeals court ruled Thursday that four people charged alongside former President Trump in his Georgia election racketeering case cannot move their charges from state to federal court.
Known as removal, federal officials are entitled to move courts when they are being prosecuted under “color” of their office and they present a plausible federal defense.
Trump-era Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark and three pro-Trump individuals who signed documents purporting to be presidential electors despite President Biden’s 2020 victory in Georgia — David Shafer, Shawn Still and Cathy Latham — attempted the gambit as part of an attempt to assert immunity. They all appealed after a district judge ruled against them.
A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday affirmed those decisions, ruling that removal is not available for former officials.
“The statute applies only to current officers,” the court’s unsigned opinion in Clark’s case reads.
Craig Gillen, Shafer’s attorney, declined to comment. The Hill has reached out to the other defendants’ attorneys for comment.
Thursday’s decision came with little surprise, as the 11th Circuit previously ruled that Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows could not move his Georgia charges to federal court for the same reason. The panel on Thursday noted “we are bound to follow” that decision.
Meadows has appealed his loss to the Supreme Court. The justices are scheduled to discuss whether to take it up at their Nov. 8 closed-door conference, according to the court’s docket.
Circuit Judge Britt Grant, an appointee of former President Trump, wrote a separate opinion that she believed the decision in Meadows’s case was incorrect.
“Rather than declaring that Mr. Shafer is ineligible for federal-officer removal because he is no longer (even arguably) a federal officer, I think the better course would be to consider the merits of the district court’s thoughtful conclusion that he was not ever a federal officer. The same is true for the other defendants. But because our Court’s precedent demands otherwise, I respectfully concur,” Grant wrote.
Circuit Judge Robin Rosenbaum, an appointee of former President Obama, also wrote separately to explain that even if the protections did extend to former officials, none of the four defendants would be able to remove their charges.
Invoking “The West Wing,” she wrote that the three so-called fake electors could not claim to be legitimate federal officials.
“Defendants were no more presidential Electors simply because they give themselves the title than Martin Sheen was ever the President because he went by President Bartlet,” Rosenbaum wrote.
As for Clark, Rosenbaum wrote that the allegations against him didn’t fall within his job description at the Justice Department.
At the time of the 2020 election, Clark oversaw the Justice Department’s environmental division and, in an acting capacity, the civil division.
He is charged over his desire to send a letter to Georgia authorities asking them to hold off on certifying their 2020 election results while the Justice Department investigated. Clark has argued Trump changed his job responsibilities to get involved with the 2020 election.
“The federal-officer removal statute is not a get-out-of-state-court-free card for federal officers,” Rosenbaum wrote.

Fani Willis disqualified as prosecutor on Trump Georgia election case
A Georgia appeals court booted Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s (D) office from the 2020 election interference case against President-elect Trump on Thursday due to her relationship with a top prosecutor on the case.The panel described Willis’s relationship with ex-special prosecutor Nathan Wade as a “significant appearance of impropriety.”
The court declined to outright dismiss Trump’s indictment, but disqualifying Willis’s office throws the future of the case — already complicated by Trump’s impending return to the White House — further into doubt.
“After carefully considering the trial court’s findings in its order, we conclude that it erred by failing to disqualify DA Willis and her office,” Judge E. Trenton Brown III wrote in the court’s ruling.
“The remedy crafted by the trial court to prevent an ongoing appearance of impropriety did nothing to address the appearance of impropriety that existed at times when DA Willis was exercising her broad pretrial discretion about who to prosecute and what charges to bring,” it continued.
The decision leaves open a theoretical possibility another prosecutor could take over the case, but the path forward remains precarious. Trump’s legal team has separately sought to dismiss all his criminal prosecutions on the grounds that he is the president-elect.
“As the Court rightfully noted, only the remedy of disqualification will suffice to restore public confidence,” Trump attorney Steve Sadow said in a statement. “This decision puts an end to a politically motivated persecution of the next President of the United States.”
The Hill has requested comment from Willis’s office. Defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant, who represents one of Trump’s co-defendants and brought the initial claim against Willis and Wade, said she and her client are “thankful” the court agreed Willis should not be allowed to prosecute the case any further.
Willis charged Trump and more than a dozen of his allies last summer for allegedly entering a months-long unlawful conspiracy to overturn President Biden’s 2020 victory in Georgia.
The revelation of the romance between Willis and Wade, whom the district attorney hired to spearhead the Trump prosecution, created a months-long detour in the case.
After a whirlwind hearing in February that saw both prosecutors take the stand, Judge Scott McAfee, who oversees the trial proceedings, found the romance amounted to an appearance of a conflict.

They are lining her up. By giving her a DQ, they are fucking with her reputation, the intent is not only to dismiss the case against Trump it is also to ruin her as AG at the same time. Probably hear her out of everything down to small claims if not dismiss her from the BAR outright.
Told somebody today this was going to look like 1938 Europe. Starting small but impactful.
another wint for trump. mufukka about ot crush all his charges & do some more wild shit & get away with it!
Unfortunately Fani falls into the same space as Christina J. Peterson. These dumb broads just let success get to their heads. Fani did whatever she wanted to do as DA. Her case against YSL was a shit show. She overcharged them retarded kids with RICO charges like them dummies were ever a organized enterprise. The Biden Admin had her playing politics in the Trump case she should have not hired her boyfriend knowing how much scrutiny she would be under. Now politically she fucked and I doubt the dems will back her up if Trump go after her.
Sad to see this happening to Fani Willis.
Had this went a different way, Merrick Garland would’ve went against Trump.
Kamala Harris would be President
Maybe Kamala would offer Fani a seat in her administration.
But, Trump is President
Trump has his DOJ, Kash Patel, and Georgia Prosecutors all after her.
