now indefinitely on pause. a state appeals court has issued a stay in this case, until they make a decision on whether fulton county d.a. fani willis can stay on. let s discuss this and more with former chief spokesman for attorney general merrick garland and msnbc justice and legal affairs analyst anthony coley, and msnbc legal correspondent lisa rubin. hey, guys, thanks so much for coming in. the appeals court isn t even going to take up the question regarding fani willis until october, lisa. so is it surprising this is where we are in this case? it s not surprising that this is where we are given the motion that was made many months ago to disqualify fani willis. if you talk to people, ana, who are expert in georgia law, they will tell you that a criminal appeal of this nature in georgia usually proceeds along this time line and that it also usually disables the court from moving forward with any proceedings. the other thing that i want to point out, though, to you and our viewers
