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.

If I remember correctly, she said something similar while on the stand. I was floored when she went into diatribe..
Good tune. Jackson Browne is a limpwristed Commie but he has made some pretty good music over the years.
Well yeah. That’s what’s supposed to happen when as a lawyer, you perjure yourself.
Three years from now…..
The games of lawyers and Trump haters will be over, and the Bar will laugh and nothing will happen. Maybe some pats on the back.
They will get a movie or miniseries deal, get rich, and live happily ever after.
sweet disbar the lying sacks from ever practicing law for perjury
I would call her just an angry woman.
Her soon-to-be. ex has repeatedly thrown her under the bus and excuses his actions by publicly declaring SHE cheated first - which she denies.
This disgusting drama with his low-down-ho is just the wind-up.
I bought a popcorn machine so I don’t have to keep going to the microwave.
I believe this.
They are going to delay, delay, delay so memories fade and then send her - with her law license intact - to a better or equal paying job and they will quietly celebrate this heroine in their dirty, filthy, liar filled criminal circles.
Glad you’re enjoying the show. =)
Much as I hate fani, her 'best friend' did have a reason to lie {but I don't believe she is lying}, because fani fired her.
if so...

are they required to carry a bond ?
if so...
www.bondsforthewin.com ...
challenge and revoke their bonds and if they lose those bonds they would not be able to work in any jib that requires a bond.
fries with that would be their new slogan.
Every DA and Judge trying to hank Trump need to face a State Bar over their abuse of power.
You don't lie under oath...period...it's a crime.
and chances are...Willis brought Wade to the apartment when she was moving in...
Her defense to this will be quite simple, but should not be hard to investigate. She will say "I meant that when I took out a large amount of money out of my bank account for during my first campaign, I kept some of the cash of that.
But bank records should be able to verify or disprove that.
Megyn Kelly pointed out FR’s “Buckhead” as doing an A+ job starting at 9:30 here:
And here is FR “Buckhead”’s full closing argument. A+ job!
I'm betting the judge comes back for them. Some records were introduced with real dollars accounted for.
I'm betting you will see lotsa money given to Daddy to hold....cough cough...
Ok...but the case already exists...a new one does not have to be brought. Just new layers assigned.
I mean, if you are charged with a crime and the DA is removed or dies or something, that charge is still there, right?
I'm "speculating"...lol
That is not how I understand the process.
“The stakes are high — if Willis is removed because of the misconduct allegations, her entire office would be disqualified, as well, and a new prosecutor would have to take over the sprawling case alleging that Trump and his allies conspired to illegally overturn the election results in the state”
For a new prosecutor to take over the sprawling 15-defendant case would be a “massive undertaking,” said Amy Lee Copeland, a defense lawyer and former federal prosecutor in Georgia, adding that the theoretical new prosecutor could decide to amend the charges or even “decide not to pursue it.”
