The committee noted federal funds may have been used to pay Wade, granting them jurisdiction to investigate. It highlighted the 'enormous legal fees' Wade had billed the DA's office for, in one instance, on November 5, 2021, charging for 24 hours of legal work in one day, claiming to have worked all day and night on the prosecution.

The court document released Monday alleged that Willis and Wade had been in a romantic relationship that predates her hiring him on the case.

Roman is accused of taking part in the ‘fake electors’ scheme, and is one of 18 people charged in George alongside Trump.

The motherload would be if there is any kick back documentation of Wade transferring any of that 650,000 to Willis on a periodic basis. Not saying there is, but logic dictates you need to look at the potential for lovers to share the gold.

I agree, but even he is starting to feel the heat: https://sky21.com/governor-kemp-calls-for-investigation-into-fulton-county-das-alleged-affair-with-special-prosecutor/ Whether he does anything or not is questionable because he is part of the Bush team and a TDS for sure.
