Wow, they certainly keep things interesting in Georgia.
We followed the salacious Fani Willis scandal, where the Fulton County District Attorney charged Donald Trump with election interference, only to find herself embroiled in controversy because she allegedly couldn’t keep her hands off one of her prosecutors, Nathan Wade. She was removed from the case for her improprieties, and officials dropped the matter. Oops.
Now Fani is back in the news, but this time it’s because of another randy legal eagle, U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross, who was recently reprimanded for loudly and regularly, um, frisking a police officer in her chambers. She also attended a booze-filled victory party in May 2024 to celebrate Willis’ Democratic primary win.
For these reasons, the Department of Justice has been demanding that she recuse herself from an ongoing voting rolls case, and on Monday, she rolled over:
A sitting federal judge improperly attended Fani Willis’ election night party.

She was sanctioned.
When this came to light, she didn’t voluntarily recuse from our high profile election integrity case.
Instead, we had to move for her recusal—and sought expedited consideration.… pic.twitter.com/K03pCH5uhF

Two weeks later, and less than a day after threatening a writ of mandamus, the judge recused.
Great team effort led by @AAGDhillon
Ross apologized not once but twice for her afternoon delights. Her second attempt after the first one fell flat:
I am profoundly sorry for exposing you to my inappropriate personal relationship during your clerkship, and for the harm that I have caused you. My actions were patently wrong, and there is no excuse. You deserved better than to have your experience marred by my own offensive conduct.
It’s almost funny reading Ross' decision because she makes it sound like she’s a neutral third party — not the person whose actions are under scrutiny:
"[T]he United States argues that recusal is required under § 455 for the following two reasons. First, a reasonable observer would objectively conclude that the undersigned attended Willis's event, which constitutes 'endorsement of Willis's election and the Democratic Party,'" Ross wrote. "Second, a reasonable observer would objectively construe the undersigned's attendance as an endorsement of Willis's actions while in office, which include the prosecution of President Trump for 'crimes related to election fraud,' and question the undersigned's impartiality to decide 'a case in which [his] Department of Justice seeks voter rolls in an effort to ensure election integrity.'"
"The Court takes up each of these arguments in turn below and concludes that recusal is appropriate for the second reason that the United States advances," she explained.
Judge Ross has granted our motion to recuse in the Georgia voter rolls litigation.

The DOJ has filed suit against multiple states demanding unredacted voter files that contain their driver's license numbers and last four digits of their Social Security numbers in order to ensure compliance with federal election laws.
Guess what job Ross had before Barack Obama appointed her to the bench? You got it — prosecutor in the Fulton County District Attorney’s office.
Is there something in the water down there?
