(Excerpt from article)

Writing in the Atlanta Journal Constitution on Wednesday, columnist Bill Torpy said that no other District Attorney will want to touch the Trump case if [Fani]Willis is removed.

"If she is removed, the case is essentially dead because no other DA is likely to raise their hand and say, "Gimme this legal monstrosity," Torpy wrote.

Danny Porter, DA in Gwinnett County, Georgia for nearly 30 years, told Torpy the Trump indictments were "too complex."

"What (prosecutors) thought, especially in the Trump case, was that defendants would roll over (and testify against co-defendants). And largely, they have not. They thought that it has worked in the past. It was 'Charge them all and let God sort it out,'" he said.
