Judge Assigned To Georgia Trump Trial Previously Worked Under DA Fani Willis, Been A Judge For Six Months - He's 'A Lot Like Fani, Frankly'

In a series of dubious legal circumstances surrounding his other three indictments, why would the indictment of 45th President Donald J. Trump in Fulton County, Georgia be any different? New reports Wednesday have revealed that the judge selected for the upcoming trial of Trump and 18 others under The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act or 'RICO' has fallen to a 34-year-old with a total of six months on the bench.

The judge in one of the most historic cases in American history is barely out of what many firms would consider a 'probationary period' and yet he will help direct the course of American politics for centuries to come. 

In further twists, Judge Scott McAfee of the Fulton County Superior Court, formerly worked under the same Democrat District Attorney Fani Willis who has doggedly pursued Trump and sought his indictment.

According to The Wall Street Journal, much of McAfee's career has been spent in the prosecutor's office and later under the U.S. attorney in Atlanta. He was reportedly assigned the case at random but was closely associated with many figures throughout the ongoing controversy. These include U.S. Attorney Byung J. Pak, who resigned from office after his refusal to investigate the allegations of election irregularities, as well as Willis.

As reported by The New York Times, McAfee is the newest of the 19 judges on the Fulton County Superior Court. The outlet reported that Charlie Bailey, an attorney and former Democratic candidate for Georgia lieutenant governor said that McAfee is “A lot like Fani, frankly," in terms of conscientiousness, thoroughness, and fairness. The Democrat candidate stated he's "quite certain he’ll do a good job.”

As noted by The Gateway Pundit, while most judges in Georgia are elected, McAfee was appointed by Governor Brian Kemp, who opposed the Trump administration's investigations into his state's election. 

On Tuesday, Kemp issued a statement responding to Trump's planned press conference to reveal evidence obtained by his legal team of electoral irregularities in Georgia.

“The 2020 election in Georgia was not stolen. For nearly three years now, anyone with evidence of fraud has failed to come forward – under oath – and prove anything in a court of law. Our elections in Georgia are secure, accessible, and fair and will continue to be as long as I am governor. The future of our country is at stake in 2024 and that must be our focus."
