Never would’ve happened if this was a normal defendant.

JEEZ America ! Glaciers move faster than your judicial system.

[otisholston]

There are two systems of justice. One for the rich and one for lower income people.

[jamalcorbin]

Look, all this Fani Willis nonsense McAfee has entertained has shown this “judge” for what he is. I’ve been skeptical of him the whole way so far.

[tonydebono]

NEVER underestimate the US Justice System's willingness to let a powerful, rich, white man off the hook.

Salt levels are going to hit 9000 on this lol.

McAfee was appointed by Brian Kemp. He was Vice President of a Federalist Society chapter and treasurer for Law Republicans.

I wonder how much they paid the judge to drop the charges

[ricklannis]

TDS is reaching heights we never thought it could reach, it's GLORIOUS!

Gerogia does unless you black or Mexican then they throw you under the jail.

[ronaldcole]

Judges for Trump. Which isn’t a judge at all. Rather, a bought and paid for political representative.

[kenhedoityeshecan]

The judge mentioned his children when discussing the importance of his decisions on this case. That tells me: he is contemplating maga’s backlash on ruling against tRump. I hope I’m wrong.

[kathleenaustin]

I'm so sick of judges like Cannon and now McCafee!!
I can't wait to hear what the charges were.

[DaggiKollbach]

I don't have much faith anymore in Judge McAfee ... this is all so frustrating and disappointing.

[Prometheus]

Wait, how can a judge just dismiss charges when the co-conspirators have already confessed?

[asheronwindspear]

Investigate the Federalist Society now.

[ErnstGranville]

Well, we still have 85 counts, more than Joe Biden's age - fingers crossed !

[jbird]

LOL!

MSNBC: “We got Trump this time!”

March 2024: “Trump wins the GOP nomination.”

[patpeacock]

Sound like trump crime family pulling strings

[lindagomez-]

But he said they can and will refile the charges
