Yesterday the judge in the Fani Willis/Nathan Wade case told a reporter he'd have a decision today:
Judge McAfee says he’s going to have his ruling on whether or not to disqualify #FaniWillis by tomorrow

This is probably harmless, but judges really shouldn’t be talking to reporters about pending cases though

Judges talking to reporters during a case is always a bit odd.
But, as promised, Judge McAfee issued a ruling this morning. What it boils down to is that Willis or Wade can remain on the case, but not both:

Judge McAfee pretending to split the baby by ruling either Fani Willis has to go or Nathan Wade does, but I don't think anyone will fall for that. It's a pretty clear win for her. The most significant part of his ruling is that he didn't grant an immediate leave to appeal.

It seems like if there was an "appearance of impropriety" all parties involved should, at the very least, have been removed from the case.
So, if I have this right, Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee decided to pull a James Comey, Robert Mueller, and Robert Hur:

Write a ruling saying Fani Willis and Nathan Wade are guilty as hell, have no ethics, and aren't good role models....BUT Fani can stay
That seems to be exactly what just happened.
Atlanta judge rules Fani Willis must either fire Nathan Wade or step aside herself in the Trump case. A split the baby result. Both should be out, but the judge is a political coward: https://t.co/4f6vjtgtJt

This outcome certainly isn't a big surprise.
