Fani Willis, Nathan Wade Expected to Be Subpoenaed for Alleged Affair, Financial Ties
State of the Union via MSN ^ | 1/28/24 | Andrew Sanders

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade are expected to be subpoenaed due to allegations of an affair and inappropriate financial ties.

These allegations have arisen in the context of a case against Donald Trump and his co-defendants.

The case will have a hearing to address these claims, including conflicts of interest and mishandling of public money.

“I think the real issue here is not this relationship. I think it’s more about the impropriety of having him on the team and having him present this to the grand jury and the conflict of interest in the appearance of impropriety,” Mike Roman’s attorney stated. The allegations against Willis and Wade have created distractions in the case against Trump, with concerns about Wade’s experience and compensation.

“We have a long road ahead,” Willis said in a previous email to Trump’s lawyers. “Long after these folks are in jail, we will still be practicing law.”

“I believe in that case there will be a trial, I believe the trial will take many months,” she later said. “And I don’t expect that we will conclude until the winter or the very early part of 2025.”

Willis’s actions, including colluding with Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s January 6 Committee and her statements about the case, have raised questions about the political nature of the prosecution.

She has also faced criticism for hosting a fundraiser for a Democratic candidate involved in the investigation.

“It’s a ‘What are you thinking?’ moment,” Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney said. “The optics are horrific.”

This could be about the time for a lovers triangle suicide-murder, which could all be blamed on Trump and his evil attacks on their moral character.

They'll just get on the stand and lie their asses off and nothing at all will be done about it. It's not like they're white republicans that would be charged with perjury for doing it, ya’ know?
They're part of America's affirmative action special hires so they are not held to high ethical standards for obvious reasons.

I am 100% sure the Republican establishment will find a way to make this all go away, after all they have to prevent President Trump from returning to office.

Georgia Bar rules include:

RULE 3.6 TRIAL PUBLICITY
A lawyer who is participating or has participated in the investigation or litigation of a matter shall not make an extrajudicial statement that a person would reasonably believe to be disseminated by means of public communication if the lawyer knows or reasonably should know that it will have a substantial likelihood of materially prejudicing an adjudicative proceeding in the matter.
The maximum penalty for a violation of this rule is a public reprimand.

RULE 3.8 SPECIAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF A PROSECUTOR
The prosecutor in a criminal case shall:

refrain from prosecuting a charge that the prosecutor knows is not supported by probable cause;
refrain from making any effort to prevent the accused from exercising a reasonable effort to obtain counsel;
comply with Rule 4.2;
make timely disclosure to the defense of all evidence or information known to the prosecutor that tends to negate the guilt of the accused or that mitigates the offense;
exercise reasonable care to prevent persons who are under the direct supervision of the prosecutor from making an extrajudicial statement that the prosecutor would be prohibited from making under subsection (g) of this Rule;
not subpoena a lawyer in a grand jury or other criminal proceeding to present evidence about a past or present client unless the prosecutor reasonably believes:
the information sought is not protected from disclosure by any applicable privilege;
the evidence sought is essential to the successful completion of an ongoing investigation or prosecution; and
there is no other feasible alternative to obtain the information.
except for statements that are necessary to inform the public of the nature and extent of the prosecutor’s action and that serve a legitimate law enforcement purpose, refrain from making extrajudicial comments that have a substantial likelihood of heightening public condemnation of the accused;
promptly disclose new, credible, and material evidence creating a reasonable likelihood that a convicted defendant did not commit an offense of which the defendant was convicted to an appropriate court or authority. If the conviction was obtained in the prosecutor’s jurisdiction, the prosecutor shall promptly disclose that evidence to the defendant unless a court authorizes delay and undertake further investigation, or make reasonable efforts to cause an investigation, to determine whether the defendant was convicted of an offense that the defendant did not commit;
seek to remedy a conviction obtained in the prosecutor’s jurisdiction when the prosecutor knows of clear and convincing evidence establishing that a defendant did not commit the offense.
The maximum penalty for a violation of this Rule is disbarment.

The timing of Fanny and BroBro getting caught deposing each other, being dragged into divorce court by a defrauded wife, is like an act of God. It’s like a Lifetime movie.

Maybe, but Wills kept playing and recording the song for decades. That date might be the song copyright.
