I think the judge is afraid of the social and political consequences of removing Fani Willis from the case.
I think he will deny the motion to remove her, saying that Georgia law is unclear about the standard for removal, leaving him no choice.
I think when the DA and Special prosecutor have committed perjury you have sufficient grounds for removal.
There are a half dozen other legitimate reasons to remove Willis and Wade. But I don't think the judge has the guts to do it.
He will be forever wear the label of "racist" for one thing. And then he will be an enemy of the Democratic Party.
If I'm Donald Trump, I'm preparing to appeal my conviction with the GA Supreme Court. It's going to happen, despite whatever defense is presented. His guilt has already been decided.
My guess is the judge's thought process is: "I'll leave her on, and let someone else worry about getting it right"
Cover his butt and pass it off.
