The corruption is deep, pervasive, and ubitquitous. But you can’t expect a black woman to be perfect.

“ Wade and Warren have met before. Wade represented the sheriff in March during a hearing before the Cobb County Board of Elections…”
Wade said he was asked by Chief Deputy Sonya Allen, a former classmate, to represent her boss at the hearing because the county attorney’s office was unable to do so.
“There is no apparent conflict of interest,” Wade said. “The only thing I can say is that we are an ethical firm. We have a reputation for being zealous advocates for this community and our clients. We are fair, we are honest and I challenge anyone to bring up an instance where we’ve not been.”
Wade also told the AJC that he took two tours of the jail last year and said he found nothing out of the ordinary.
Attorney Timothy Gardner, who was hired by the family of Kevil Wingo to look into his death, said he sees Warren’s actions as a political move “so the sheriff can make the claim of transparency while hiding behind a stone wall.”
“I find it hard to believe that Mr. Wade’s firm can take on the task to investigate the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office’s conduct over the last five years without compensation,” Gardner said. “There is no way that a substantive and reliable report can come from this cursory review at best.”

Willis became district attorney for Fulton county in 2020. Wonder if she was involved in pulling strings for Wade to handle this in Cobb County.
But Wade did get his oil changed. So, there’s that.
