The Fani Fish Rots From The Head Down, Requiring Intervention By The Governor’s Office Startling revelations out of Fani Willis’ office suggesting an improper romantic relationship giving rise to an irremediable conflict of interest between Georgia’s District Attorney and the special prosecutor, Nathan Wade, should result in the entire case’s dismissal, without prejudice.
The allegations of impropriety between Willis and Wade, whom Willis’ team contracted in November of 2021, are legion, and include not only an inappropriate romantic relationship, but also serious allegations of self-dealing that involves Willis abusing her public office for lavish vacations, federal funding, and myriad other ethics violations.
The fiery allegations percolated to the surface after Mike Roman, one of the 17 co-defendants implicated in the Willis indictment, raised them in a January 8th court filing seeking to dismiss the grand jury indictment in toto as fatally defective and disqualify the district attorney’s office from further prosecuting the matter.
Roman’s explosive motion highlights improprieties that run the gauntlet from improper romantic relations to breaches of the District Attorney’s Loyalty Oath to egregious instances of self-dealing, most of which can be independently corroborated through adjacent court filings. The misconduct is so severe and persistent that it likely imputes Fani Willis’ whole office.
Fortunately, there is a remedy: under the Georgia State Constitution, Article V, Section III, Paragraph IV, “[t]he Attorney General shall … represent the state in the Supreme Court in all capital felonies and in all civil and criminal cases in any court when required by the Governor …”
Governor Brian Kemp has a constitutional duty to send AG Chris Carr into the District Attorney’s Office to clean up this mess and do so immediately or risk irreparable damage to public confidence in the integrity of the proceeding, and by extension, given President Trump’s involvement, America’s justice system overall.
This remains true, regardless of the veracity of Roman’s allegations, which are exhaustively described in his recent court filing, because of Fulton County’s own rules of professional misconduct regarding conflicts of interest. The Fulton County Code of Ethics states that “no officer … shall, by his or her conduct give reasonable basis for the impression that any person can improperly influence him or her, or unduly enjoy his or her favor, in the performance of any official acts or actions.”
In other words, even the simple appearance of impropriety is sufficient to disqualify an officer from a proceeding whereby such misconduct could raise significant doubts about the integrity and fairness of the process at large.
Indeed, Wade regularly vowed to this standard himself: for example, according to the Marietta Daily Journal, in 2016, Wade stated publicly that “If there’s an appearance, just a mere appearance of impropriety, and there’s a request for recusal, just do it, because by not doing it, what you’re doing is hurting the county in the long run, you’re costing the taxpayers a lot of money.”

Fanny will keep pushing this case forward as if nothing happened. No one is going to hold her accountable for her crimes. She and her BF know this, which explains why they had no fear of getting caught stealing money from the taxpayers and fabricating a phony case against Trump and his associates.
Agree with you about the word “prejudice”.
That error alone reflects very poorly on the article writer’s ability to communicate; suggests he/she is less than competent as a reporter of legal matters.
bttt
The author wrote, “without prejudice.” And based on this sentence, he meant what he wrote:
“Therefore, the only just remedy is to dismiss the indictment without prejudice, reassign the investigation to another District Attorney, and let them start from scratch with a new special purpose grand jury and, depending on the outcome, a new regular grand jury to see if a new indictment can be returned.”
🤔
You didn’t read the article.
If you had read the article, you’d realize that the author indeed meant “without prejudice.”
And no need to refer to the author as “he/she.” The name “Paul” means that the author is a “he.”
That error alone reflects very poorly on your ability to communicate.
Maybe read the article.
too tainted...should be dismissed “with prejudice”
The author meant what he wrote: “without prejudice.” Read the article.
Why use the pronoun “they”? The author is a man. The pronoun is “he.”
And, yes, HE meant what he wrote: “without prejudice.”
I agree that this case should be dismissed *with* prejudice.
That said, the author does understand what “without prejudice” means, as he explains in his article.
Yeah caught that on the re-read...
Therefore, the only just remedy is to dismiss the indictment without prejudice, reassign the investigation to another District Attorney, and let them start from scratch with a new special purpose grand jury
Long article. Missed that on the first skim/quick read...
Sounds like Fani may be trying to emulate her idol, kamalamadingdong. Perhaps someday there will be a streaming movie, “Fani Does the GA Statehouse”
Ewww. That would have to be a pay-per-view, as in Fani would have to pay people to view.
High up Georgia Republican officials are all in for putting Trump in prison. That’s might just be a problem here.
“I could not even count all the cases I’ve seen of incompetent gubmint employees “failing upwards” to high-paying positions.”
But only if they’re Democrats or RINOs.
People forget that Democrats ran Georgia for over 100 years. Just because some “became” Republicans in order to get elected and take over the Republican party in Georgia doesn’t mean they are really Republicans.
I'd have preferred "WIth Prejudice", so it could not be refilled or prosecuted by another team.
I figured that out because the idiot wants the Governor to tell the AG to start all over again from the beginning, which is just another way of keeping Trump bogged down in endless legal process.
