CNN legal analyst Elie Honig annihilated Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for what he said was a “screw up” that led to the judge in her case against former President Donald Trump to get rid of several of the charges.

“That particular act, that phone call between Donald Trump and Brad Raffensperger, where Trump asks him to just find 11,780 votes. We’ve all heard it many times. That is still part of the case. That phone call is still part of the case,” he said to anchor Jim Acosta.

“There are other charges in the case that squarely relate to that phone call. For example, the first count in the indictment, which is the very broad racketeering count, we’ll still include that conduct. There are other fraud counts that would still include that conduct,” the legal analyst said.

“So, I don’t think this ruling changes the type of evidence that the D.A. is going to be able to introduce, but it does knock out some of the charges. And look, it’s embarrassing for prosecutors. It’s a screw-up by prosecutors when you bring a charge, and then a judge throws it out before it even goes to trial,” he said.

The host wondered if this increases the odds that Judge Scott McAfee will disqualify Willis from the case.

“Does this bolster, in the judge’s mind, the idea that perhaps the — Fani Willis should not be handling this case, or is that a step too far?” the host said.

“It should not bolster the conflict-of-interest argument. I think these are and should be seen as two entirely separate questions. The question in the decision that we just got is, is the indictment properly constructed? Were these charges properly put before the grand jury, and are they sustainable? And the judge said, with respect to six of the charges in this case, again, not all of them, but just six. No, they were not properly brought,” the legal analyst said.

“There is an entirely separate question pending where we’re waiting for a ruling any day now, where the judge has to decide whether the D.A. has a financial or other conflict-of-interest relating to her relationship with the outside person brought in to be the lead prosecutor here, Nathan Wade. Those should be completely different questions and completely different considerations by the judge,” he said.

Acosta did say that Trump’s victory could be that this judge’s decision delays the case.
