Yeah, definitely. So the Court of Appeals has said that they agreed with us that there was an appearance of impropriety and it was enough that Fannie Willis should not be on the case. So she and all of her deputies were disqualified. And so what that means practically is the case will be assigned to what's called PAC. It's the Prosecuting Attorneys Council.

And they'll be the ones that will review it. And I've said from day one, if we had an independent prosecutor, someone who wasn't financially or politically interested in the outcome of this case, it would never see the light of the day. It's not a case that would ever be brought. I mean, there's, you know, hardly probable cause. You could indict just about anything.

So you could find probable cause in just about anything. But I think if you had a neutral prosecutor looking at it, they're going to say, no way, this is ridiculous. We have other cases. This case is not, it doesn't rise to the level of a crime. You know, and we just don't think that this is where we should be prosecuting cases.

So I think that it will essentially die on the vine once it goes to an independent prosecutor. I don't think Fannie Willis is going to go away quietly, though. I've already got a notice of intent, just got it on email where she plans on appealing to the Supreme Court. So the question will be whether or not they even want to want to touch it. You know, it's a good opinion.

I don't think I'll be holding my breath for that. And I don't know that I've ever been called a liar so many times. And I just kept thinking, what is it that you think I'm lying about? Because just about everything that I've alleged has turned out to be true. And if something wasn't, it wasn't not true. We fought over the term cohabitate. We fought over the term whether or not you cohabitated.
