A judge on Monday rejected an attempt by Donald Trump's legal team to block Fulton County District Attorney Fani Wilis from hitting him with indictments concerning interference in the 2020 presidential election, The Atlanta Journal Constitution reported.
Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney "ruled that Trump and Cathy Latham, an "alternate" GOP elector who joined the former president's motion, did not have sufficient legal standing to mount a challenge before any indictments are announced," AJC's report stated.
Trump's team had challenged the conduct of Willis and a special grand jury that had been investigating him.
"The whole world has watched the process of the (special purpose grand jury) unfold and what they have witnessed was a process that was confusing, flawed and, at times, unconstitutional," his challenge stated.
Trump had asked that the jury's final report be thrown out and that Willis be recused from the case.
Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ruled the claims were "either insufficient or else speculative and unrealized.
"They are insufficient because, while being the subject (or even target) of a highly publicized criminal investigation is likely an unwelcome and unpleasant experience, no court ever has held that that status alone provides a basis for the courts to interfere with or halt the investigation."
Willis said over the weekend that her investigation is now complete. An indictment is expected to be imminent.

the possibility of a DC grand jury indictment this week is also looming large on the horizon...
left hook, upper cut...
Knee to the nuts.
those retracted into his abdomen years ago...
OK at least a side kick to the knee so "we'll know him by his limping".
(mom came from the Irish clans and was a bloodthirsty McCollins).
wrists and ankles, and he's all done playing golf....
Golf cheaters (like Trump) deserve no less.
He has more indictments than I have socks
... and he just threw his co-defendants, aide and property manager, under the bus yesterday. "I never told anyone to delete anything"...
it's a witch hunt, political persecution, election interference, and they're all without merit... /s
"The boss wants you to delete the footage"
maybe trump was referring to the footage on the revolving door melania installed in her residence for her secret service detail...
The had to be extra careful to not let the door hit them in the ass on the way out.
sounds like good advice.
That’s what I give.

Pretty sure that your dirty gym socks smell much cleaner than mine.
yes, but it was a perfect phone call, so he has nothing to worry about

Trump isn't having good luck with the judicial process these days. There's this today and last week a judge tossed his defamation case against CNN -
It's reminding me of the dozens of election fraud cases that he/republicans lost.
It's all good, because if he can't get his lemming followers to cough up donation cash, he can just stiff the lawyers. For him he can throw all the legal sounding shit at the wall and see what sticks. It's all free. Then when it doesn't stick he's the victim.
Hahaha, true statement, EG.
I'm pretty sure most of his lawyers have huge upfront retainers and a strict payment for performance criteria.
I'd make it payment before performance and make sure the check clears first.
Rudy didn't. Hahaha!
no future shortage of pro bono legal help at club fed...
First he has to be convicted and then sentenced. I'm hoping it will happen, but we are talking about the Teflon Don here.
to protect their SCOTUS investment, I'm sure the federalists and the heritage foundation are actively looking for a cash poor patsy...
