Fani Willis and Nathan Wade Now Facing Trouble With the Georgia State Bar
Red State ^ | 03/02/2024 | Nick Arama

Posted on 03/02/2024 8:43:41 PM PST by SeekAndFind

After all the problems regarding Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her former paramour, whom she appointed to be a special prosecutor in the Trump election case, you knew that they were going to be in trouble.

Now, they have been referred by a watchdog group to the Georgia state bar for misconduct.

The American Accountability Foundation (AAF) is alleging that the pair violated the rules of professional conduct in ethics complaints they filed with the bar. The AAF claims Wade lied under oath about the relationship with Willis and that Willis kept campaign money for personal use, and admitted it during her testimony. The Foundation is asking that the bar take action against both Willis and Wade to permanently ban them from the practice of law. 

The Foundation was upset about this part of Willis' testimony that we reported on, and thought it needed more investigation.

"Cash is fungible. I’ve had cash for years in my house. So for me to tell you the source of where it comes from ... when you go to Publix and you buy something and you get fifty dollars and you throw it in there. It’s been my whole life. When I took out a large amount of money during my first campaign, I kept some of the cash of that."

The AAF says that's a violation of Georgia campaign finance law, "Nothing in this Code section shall permit or authorize a candidate to utilize campaign funds for the purpose of making gifts, loans, or investments directly to: (A) The candidate…" The complaint document continues:

The statute is unambiguous – and the facts are not in dispute – as Ms. Willis described in her testimony, she placed the money that was intended for her campaign into a "fungible" slush fund with other moneys that she would use for various other purposes, including reimbursing her boyfriend for leisure travel.

The AAF claims that Wade lied in response to the interrogatories in his divorce case, claiming he hadn't slept with anyone else during his marriage. The complaint states:

First it is simply not credible that Mr. Wade did not know that he had sexual relations with Ms. Willis when he replied to the interrogatories above in his divorce case. Put simply, it is clear Mr. Wade knew that he had had sex with Ms. Willis, and he knew that at the time he was still married, and he simply lied in the interrogatories.

I think that's likely just the opening salvo of complaints and that we're going to see more, because those didn't even get into some of the other alleged lies and issues that have since come out in the disqualification hearing. As I previously reported, the Georgia state Senate is also looking into the matter. Grab the popcorn, because I expect there will be more complaints coming.

Unless she puts everything on her county credit card, files expense reports, and pays her personal charges with paycheck deductions?

I don't see how that would be allowed.

It wouldn't. I knew people who were fired from my former company for misusing their business credit card after being warned several times to not put personal expenses on them. And I'm talking about "star" employees, too.

See this post of mine (with embedded link) to some of the details you asked for.

Note that some of these are the transaction dates, not necessarily the travel dates.

We’ve seen their true colors - this is about two tacky lowlifes lying under oath. Both of these creeps should be disbarred.

The Georgia State Bar should be the least of their concerns.
They should be looking at IRS agents crawling through their files

Willis and Wade..more proof DEI and affirmative action don’t work. These two idiots couldn’t get jobs as waiters at a Waffle House.

The lies they told on the stand are just staggering. And then for her to blatantly admit to taking money from her campaign fund without a care in the world - God only knows what other crime sprees they went on in blatant contempt of the law. And for her to ‘tell us whassup’ when letting the world know that there are two different sets of laws for blacks and whites....??????

Fani charging up there, demanding to be able to testify to dispute the (blinks rapidly) ‘LIIIIIIIEEEEEEESSSSSSS’ that were in fact truths.... chef’s kiss...!!!

If she had kept her ‘angry black woman’ mouth shut, most or all of this might not have come to light.

There is a new potential witness. The guy is a waiter at a restaurant and saw Bradley, his lawyer, and Wade about 5 weeks ago. Wade said on the stand he hadn’t seen Bradley in a couple of years. If the judge doesn’t DQ the pair, the defense could file a new motion and bring this guy to the stand. Here is a 1 minute clip with audio of the waiter.

Atlanta is corrupt. I would not expect them to have their license revoked.

If I was the judge I’d go all or nothing. Deny the motion or disqualify her AND refer her to the GA state Attorney for perjury and corruption charges.

One thing for sure, he doesn’t want her back in Fulton County of he disqualifies her.

The GA Bar must be as corrupt as the Wade-Willis Sh!tshow. Otherwise these retards wouldn’t have passed the Bar exam. Nothing will happen to the critters.

I have a feeling the kick-ass witness would’ve been Wade’s ex wife. She must have some good info re the timeline.

I guess she couldn’t have testified due to spousal privilege since they were married when the affair began.

Anti-Trumpers Kemp,’Ratenburger and the Ga. AG are NOT going to stop the Trump persecution.

Care to place a bet on that? Follow the money. ALWAYS follow the money.

The charges against DJT still stand, regardless of her problems.

Even if she is removed, disbarred and even jailed [LOL...i forget myself] those charges still have to be adjudicated. I mean, wouldn’t they just assign another DA to the case and proceed? I understand this delays the trial. I worry that the delays will be just enough to cause the trial to happen in time for an October “surprise”.

So...is this just a sideshow? Or a strategy?

It was another angry black woman (Wade’s ex) who blew the whistle on fat fanny. Irony.

It takes time to put together a new case if these two are dismissed. It is very doubtful a new case would be brought to trial before election. There is also doubt that another DA would choose to prosecute a weak case with such obviously trumped up charges, miring their office with the appearance of targeting Trump.
