As a GENERAL PROPOSITION – when a Judge is inclined to rule against a particular participant, that Judge allows the participant to say pretty much anything and everything he/she wants. It's called "protecting the record."

What that does is cut-off the losing party from being able to claim "You didn't give me a chance to say everything I wanted to say, blah, blah, blah."

All it really does is eat up time, but the extra time spent in the hearing is a small fraction of what would be required if the judge was reversed and the matter had to be done over again.

I suspect that if Judge McAfee was of the opinion that Willis' conduct was simply unprofessional and unethical, but not disqualifying taking the worst case spin on everything presented by the defendants he would not be allowing his to grind on with Willis on the stand.

But to let her say everything she wants to say, he has to let the questioning continue.

I'm not seeing much out of the lefty legal beagles who are usually quite anxious to declare all matters related to Trump to be guaranteed triumphs – right around the corner.

I'm wondering how they all feel about the performance of the individual they've rested their hopes on in Georgia – the one case Trump can't bring to an end if re-elected, or pardon himself.

She's their Champion.

Where is the Huzzahs and Applause for her performance?

Or does she look exactly like the sterotypical local prosecutor who has dove into the deep end of the pool, wrote "illegally" in front of every innocuous action taken by the target, and declared victory by hold a press conference and shouting "WE HAVE A RICO CASE!!!!!"

Sorry, it doesn't work that way.

She's not a finisher.
