Trump case could go off rails as Fani Willis love triangle, corruption investigation heats up
The New York Post ^ | 01/21/2024 | Dana Kennedy

*** Nobody on either side of the political aisle understands what Fulton County DA Fani Willis was thinking when she hired her reported boyfriend, a personal injury lawyer with zero high-profile felony trial experience, to be the lead special prosecutor in what is likely the biggest case of her career.

Nor do people understand why she’d blur her personal and professional life by jetting off for a $2,600 cruise and romantic trip to California’s Napa Valley with still legally married Wade while working on the sprawling and complex racketeering case against former President Donald Trump and his allies.

But Willis’ decision to hire Nathan Wade, 51, a sharp dresser who operates out of a basement office 20 miles north of Atlanta, and allegedly pay him thousands more than two much more qualified lawyers on her team, has backfired and threatens to derail her career — if not put the planned trial against Trump on state election interference charges in jeopardy.

*** Willis, 44, the daughter of Black Panther turned savvy criminal defense lawyer John C. Floyd III, has chosen to dig in her heels since a bombshell motion was filed Jan. 8 by one of the defendants in the Trump case, Michael Roman, alleging that she had an “improper” and “clandestine” affair with Wade and asking that the charges against him be dropped.

She also overpaid him to the tune of at least $675,000 since Jan. 2022 with taxpayer monies that the two then used for their lavish vacations, the motion alleges.

***

Willis gave an impassioned speech at the Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta last week calling the allegations against her and Wade a racially-motivated attack and is trying to avoid being deposed in court about it.

Two thoughts:

Willis, the daughter of a Black Panther, is carrying on the tradition of being a racist reprobate.

Black privilege allows black churches to serve as Democrat Sunday social clubs. They should lose their tax exempt status.

I hate to say this but I suspect the most that will happen in regards to Trump is she will be removed and replaced.....the case itself will move forward.

I hope I am wrong.

Pi think at the least the case will be pushed back. Maybe even beyond the November election date.

ROFLMAO:

From the article:

“Wade remains in their 7-bedroom manor on Honey Pot Way in Marietta.”

That's the important point ... Dems are on a very tight timeline to frame Trump as a criminal, and use that as justification to keep him off the November ballot

Fani Willis has to be given the boot if the delays keep up

Something about “clean hands” doctrine is at work. The prosecutor has to be “more pure than Caesar’s wife” when it comes to presenting the legal case before the magistrate. A seriously objective magistrate would have already dismissed the suit and severely reprimanded the prosecuting attorney.

Discharge from position of authority and disbarment should not be far behind.

It is probable that it will, but the RICO case against Trump and the others in Georgia will forever be tainted should it do so.

There is also the possibility that the Court finds that Wade was never properly appointed and the entire thing may go away and another prosecutor would have to start from scratch. They may have to do that so no one will look deeper into Willis and Wade’s actions. Neither of them are going to want to take the fall for actions that were probably coordinated with the Biden administration. There is a risk they they will talk in order to get them spotlight off them and onto someone else. Who is going to thrown whom under the bus? Remember, there is no honor among thieves.

I could frankly care less who Fani spreads her legs for..what I DO care about is why Fani and her lover visited the White House TWICE before indicting Trump..I want to know what was discussed, but we all already know..this bogus “Case” should NEVER have been filed to begin with and needs to be thrown out along with the rest of them

Republican Kemp said he’s not going to use his power to intervene.

He said, you will not see Political Theatre.

We are already seeing Political Theatre, you lying POS.

Wade and Big Fani have skeletons in their closets.

They’ve been ignored because they’re in a corrupt cesspool where everything goes if you’re a Dem.

Nice deconstruction.

The money line....”no one will look deeper into Willis and Wade’s actions b/c they were probably coordinated with the Biden administration so that collusion enters the picture. There is a risk they they will talk in order to get the spotlight off themselves and onto someone else. Who is going to thrown whom under the bus? Remember, there is no honor among thieves.”

Well that's a defense right there. There apparently was nothing clandestine about it at all.

My suspicion is that this was the best they could get.

Who else takes a bogus case on orders from Mr. Potato Head, except bogus attorneys?

I’m going to guess that Kemp has vote fraud in his near term history.
