This is backwater Georgia.......the Trump case fell in her lap. She jumped on it, figuring
she’d parlay Trump into getting a better job and more visibility in the outside world.
Fani and Wade sucked up to the desperate Biden who was going down fast,
with a philandering cokehead son and those nasty tax and gun problems.
Biden would not let the duo’s bedroom act be a political liability......so they thought.
I think a good lawyer could successfully get all of these cases thrown out by pointing out that the more charges Fani dreamed up against DJT and his associates the more taxpayer money she and her lover had to enjoy together. I would call that prosecution for self enrichment.
” I would call that prosecution for self enrichment.”
I agree. There is a doctrine in the legal world called “unclean hands”.
Unclean Hands Doctrine
An equitable defense that bars relief to a party who has engaged in inequitable behavior (including fraud, deceit, unconscionability, or bad faith) related to the subject matter of that party’s claim. The unclean hands doctrine is also known as the “clean hands doctrine” and the “dirty hands doctrine.” The unclean hands doctrine typically applies only to equitable claims such as requests for injunctive relief or specific performance, but some jurisdictions permit it as a defense to legal claims as well.
Although the unclean hands doctrine is typically an affirmative defense asserted by a defendant, it may also be asserted by a plaintiff in opposition to an equitable defense such as estoppel.
General immoral or corrupt conduct is not enough to warrant application of the unclean hands doctrine. To prevail, a party must demonstrate that its opponent engaged in inequitable behavior that is related to the subject matter of the litigation.
In layman’s terms:
The unclean hands doctrine applies to the parties in cases where the plaintiff has acted unethically in connection to the circumstances that have led to the suit. Its intent is to keep a person from abusing the justice system in order to benefit from a situation they created by acting in bad faith.
This usually applies in civil litigation but can be applied in some criminal prosecutions as well. As in a case in which the criminal prosecutor benefits financially or professionally by pursing a case against a defendant.
