Also from the above source OP:

 

Trump attorney Steve Sadow said in a statement that, “While respecting the Court’s decision, we believe that the Court did not afford appropriate significance to the prosecutorial misconduct of Willis and Wade.”

 

“We will use all legal options available as we continue to fight to end this case, which should never have been brought in the first place,” he added.

 

Willis's office did not immediately comment on the ruling.

 

 

Who cares what Trump's attorney says? You think that's important?

NBC News thought it was important else they would likely not have included it in their article.

And regarding your  "get this bilko artist/ coup leader in the penitentiary were he belongs", what if this goes to trial and he is found by the jury Not Guilty?

"The principle of ‘Equal Justice Under Law’ is foundational to the U.S. legal system, unless of course you think Trump should get special treatment.
 

It’s important to distinguish between pre-trial detention and a verdict of guilt or innocence. Pre-trial detention is a measure based on risk assessment, not a determination of guilt.

In the U.S., it is standard procedure for a criminal defendant to be arrested and potentially detained if they pose a flight risk or a threat to public safety. This is a precautionary step, devoid of any presumption of guilt.

Ultimately, whether a defendant is found guilty or not is a matter for the courts to decide, following a fair trial.

 

The initial decision to detain a defendant does not preclude the fundamental right to be presumed innocent until proven otherwise.

There is an article just now in the NY Times (where I am paid subscriber) entitled:

 

Fani Willis Hangs Onto Trump Case, but More Turbulence Lies Ahead

A fresh array of problems are in store for Ms. Willis and her prosecution of Donald Trump, one of the most significant state criminal cases in American history.

 

But I'm not gonna post it because it is obvious click-bait.

The judge just guaranteed a lengthy appeal.   Long past November.

 

And he hasn't taken Fani Willis off the hook from the investigations into her conduct at the state and the federal level.  Though the county's investigation seemed to stop, claiming that it's a state office and a state issue.

 

I wonder if this'll be enough to get the judge re-elected in a blue dominated election?

 

The hopes & dreams of the left, rested so much

with the daughter of a dem Marxist militant group member.

 

Seems to me she relied heavily on his 

fatherly guidance , especially when it came to hoarding cash.
