The Fulton County district attorney’s office asked a Georgia judge Wednesday to quash subpoenas of top prosecutors in former President Trump’s 2020 election interference case that would require them to testify at a hearing next week over whether they should be booted from the case.
After accusing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) and special prosecutor Nathan Wade of having romantic ties, one of Trump’s co-defendants in Georgia subpoenaed the duo along with more than a half-dozen of their colleagues for the hearing, scheduled for Feb. 15.
Both Willis and Wade last week admitted to having a “personal relationship,” but the district attorney’s office had described the calls to step aside baseless and said there is no need for the hearing.
In a new 36-page motion Wednesday, the district attorney’s office described the subpoenas as “ill-conceived” and based on “reckless accusations,” urging Judge Scott McAfee to block the attempt to compel Willis, Wade and others to testify at the hearing.
“Georgia law—as well as authority from across the country—predictably frowns on a process that permits counsel for one litigant to compel the testimony of counsel and employees of the opposing party, and there is no justification to depart from that general principle here,” special prosecutor Anna Green Cross wrote on the state’s behalf.
The district attorney’s office also accused defense counsel of attempting to “disrupt and delay” the prosecution.
“The effort should be promptly brought to a close,” prosecutors wrote.
Mike Roman, a Trump 2020 campaign staffer who is one of the former president’s co-defendants in Georgia, first accused Willis of having romantic ties with Wade in court papers filed last month.

“there is no justification to depart from that general principle here”
As an actual lawyer, I can tell you having an undisclosed romantic relationship with your specially hired prosecutor is more than enough justification. Add in the money, its a slam dunk.
They say these things that are complete lies and the MSM just repeats. This is first year ethics class stuff. Any lawyer could tell you, assuming they are honest with their opinion and not driven by political bias.

The senile DNC law stooge Larry "I Hate Trump!!" Tribe would argue with you, while filling his adult diaper and drooling on his bib.
And the corrupt judicial system of Dem judges will allow it to happen and rule in their favor.
“Your honor, we are coming dangerously close to seeing justice done here. We can’t have that. I do hope you understand.”
Is the Tribe in any way associated with Harvard Law?
Did her boyfriend write that motion? Probably.
The Trump curse is about to claim another victim.
That’s because most lawyers are leftist. 🙂
The Judge should find this lawyer in Contempt of Court, Sanction him a minimum of $100,000, refer him for permanent and immediate disbarment and then JAIL him for 90 days.
Just for asking wether or not the two accused of multiple felonies should not to have to testify to their actions.
Heh heh
Laurence Tribe has been Harvard faculty since about 1968, or 1958 if undergrad Harvard counts. Hates Bill Clinton and Hillary because they didn’t nominate him to the Supreme Court.
He’s a Leftist kook and America dodged a bullet.
