At this point, it will be up to Judge Scott McAfee to examine the case in the coming days and decide whether to proceed or to assign the case to another magistrate. However, the timeline of the Georgia trial against Trump seems compromised. Even if they don’t have to start over with a new prosecutor, Willis will be under Republican scrutiny for months, facing demands for investigations and censures in her state, and also facing potential scrutiny in Congress (she has already been subpoenaed). This situation is considered unsustainable even by the progressive press.
The Appeals Court, which received the appeal a month ago, has not yet ruled and could take weeks or even months to reach a decision. If the judges determine that Trump is prosecutable, his lawyers will appeal to the Supreme Court, further prolonging the process. The trial scheduled for the end of May in Florida for the top-secret documents illegally held by the Republican leader is also facing postponement. It was said that a conviction would change things, but it is increasingly likely that only the springboard will remain from now until November.
