**Trump prosecutor running for appeals court judge**

Fulton County Deputy DA **Will Wooten** qualified Thursday to run against Judge E. Trenton Brown III for a seat on the **Georgia Court of Appeals**.

Will Wooten spent more than two years helping build the criminal case against President Donald Trump in Georgia. Now he is running against the judge whose ruling helped end it.

**COMMENT FROM THE STREET:**

**Fani Willis**' Deputy DA "**Will Wooten**" is running for a seat on **Georgia Appeals Court?** \- No, thank you.  The only reason he's running is to help **Fani Willis 'win appeals'** and get her '**convictions overturned**.' 

**Will Wooten** didn't even respond to letters asking him about **Fani Willis**' White House/J6 meetings. Don't need anyone like that on the Georgia Appeals Court. 

And the more I learn about how some of these judges are appointed, I'm almost afraid to know the story behind the judges sitting on the Appeals Court now.

Link to the letter **House Judiciary Committee** sent to **Will Wooten** last year - he did not respond.

"The group behind **Fani Willis** is playing chess. They're trying to get "**Will Wooten**" on **Georgia Appeals Court**, in case **Burt Jones** becomes governor. Jones has already said that he's going to investigate Fani Willis. 

I'm not a Burt Jones supporter, but **somebody needs to hold Fani Willis accountable** for the way she's wasted taxpayer money on the **Election Interference** case and for all the **questionable things that happened during the YSL trial**. The main one being, **how in the hell "Young Thug's" police report got changed** \-- and to also investigate if the "**Wren Collective**" is directing how Willis prosecutes cases - because many of Willis prosecution strategies and policies, align with theirs."

COMMENT: Fani Willis' Deputy DA "Will Wooten" is Running for a Seat on Georgia Appeals Court? - No, Thank You. -- Only Reason He's Running is to Help "Fani Willis" Win Appeals and Have Convictions Overturned -- Wooten Wouldn't Answer Any Questions About Willis' White House/J6 Meetings.
