MSNBC’s Cevallos: If There Is a Strong Appearance of Impropriety Both Wade and Fani Willis Will Likely Be Disqualified

EXCERPT:

CEVALLOS: “I think that if there is a strong appearance of impropriety here, there's a very strong likelihood that both, Wade and Fani Willis will be disqualified. And it's Willis that really matters. If Wade gets disqualified someone else can step in. In fact, that's been the subject of a lot of this litigation. In fact, in a very twilight zone moment, the defense essentially argued that Wade didn't have sufficient experience. And you have this moment where the defense is essentially arguing, hey, the state should have gotten a better qualified prosecutor to prosecute us. And of course, this was pointed out in the papers. It's -- that's a non issue. Wade's lack of qualifications or alleged lack of qualifications, as Judge McAfee put it, if you've got a heartbeat and a bar card, you're qualified to be a prosecutor as far as this motion goes. But again, go back to the appearance of impropriety, it's what Judge McAfee is going to be looking for. It is the standard against which this conduct is judged.”
