Description

Just an hour before “Politically Georgia” aired, Judge Scott McAfee ruled that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis could continue prosecuting the election interference case against former President Donald Trump. But only if she drops her special prosecutor and former love interest Nathan Wade from the case.  
 
Atlanta Journal-Constitution editor Shannon McCaffrey and Georgia State law professor Anthony Michael Kreis discuss the decision. 
   
Then a pivot to Capitol Hill, where independent journalist Michael Jones, who is author of the ‘Once Upon A Hill’ newsletter, talks about what’s involved in the congressional effort that could ban TikTok.  
 
And every Friday, the hosts respond to your questions, comments and even complaints from the listener mailbag. Then the duo offers their choices for who’s up and who’s down this week.
