    There may actually be much less to the cellphone location data than what Trump's attorneys are alleging. First, the Fulton County DA's office is arguing that the data may be inadmissible because a search warrant is normally required to obtain that type of data the attorneys representing Trump and his codefendants didn't obtain a warrant and/or it may be inadmissible because it is irrelevant insofar as providing data on Wade's exact location. The data is based on pinging from cellphone towers near Willis's condo. Her condo happens to be located in a densely populated neighborhood with a number of other residences, restaurants and night clubs. Even if the data may be held admissible it's very possible that Nathan Wade may have been visiting nightclubs, another residence or a restaurant in the area at the time The data from the towers provides a general location, it doesn't provide an exact location.

    From your link:

    "Wade had testified that he had been to the condo where Willis lived fewer than 10 times before he was hired as special prosecutor in November 2021."

    So, he admits to being in Willis' condo 10 times so it's reasonable to think ne was there between 10 and 35 times in the first 11 months of 2021. Then in 2022, Wade was hired by Willis to handle the at issue cases. So, there may have even more "visits" to the Willis condo by Wade.

    Also, it doesn't look good that Wade initiated divorce proceedings the day after he was hired by Willis .... and after all of these visits to Willi's crib.

    Carry on.

    Now, should Willis resign for her actions in hiring Wade .... then lying about their relationship and his visits to her home?

    Yeah I'm sure Trump loves facing the possibility of spending the rest of his life in jail, spending millions on legals fees and getting fined hundreds of millions of dollars. Brilliant plan! Lol

    Looking forward to your posts on this thread in a couple weeks about how the judge is biased and how the defense is easily going to win on appeal.

    In the end the standard for removal of a DA in a criminal case in Georgia based on a conflict of interest is a showing that the DA has a “personal interest or stake in the defendant’s conviction” and Trump's attorneys have failed to meet that standard and once again the cellphone merely indicates that Wade was in the neighborhood where Willis's condo is located. As previously pointed out she lived in a densely populated neighborhood with a number of other residences and business. It doesn't definitively prove that he was visiting her.

    Given the information available ... it is no longer removal of Willis and Wade from the at issue cases, but whether or not they have violated ethics and committed perjury warranting their removal from the DA's office. If they had and integrity and self-respect, they would resign their positions tomorrow, but I recognize, that is hard for a lawyer-politician (Willis), especially a liberal lawyer.

    Relevance to Drumpf's crimes is what?

    Romantic affair. Trump... ie big money. DA gives lead prosecutor big money to prosecute the case, receives lavish kickback gifts. In other words, sparks, DA is profiteering off of prosecuting Donald Trump. That presents a conflict of interest in any jurisdiction in the United States of America. I'm not sure why this is so hard for you all to comprehend. Well, I guess I do partially understand how.

    Your analysis fails. And even if correct, this does not let Donnie Darko off the hook. Dude is the most guilty, not-yet-convicted felon in American history.

    Understand that she blew up this case and it was your strongest case against Trump. It's finished. Zero chance they will keep her or Wade on. Zero chance this gets tried again before 2026 (at the earliest) assuming Biden wins.

    I’m not remotely following this closely enough to know whether she lied or not, but IF she did lie under oath she should recuse herself (or be removed) from this case and then face whatever consequences occur to any similarly situated person for doing the same thing, whether it be disciplinary action from the bar or criminal proceedings from the State or recall from voters at the ballot box. Just like anyone else might face as the consequences of those actions, no more or less.

    But none of it has a lick to do with his guilt or innocence. At this point it’s all about her stupidity.

    Apparently, three attorneys including a former US Attorney and two White House ethics advisors one being Richard Painter, currently a professor at the University of Minnesota College of Law and formerly the Chief White House Ethics Counsel to President George W. Bush disagree.

    So Trump , convicted of sexual assault, and of business fraud and under dozens of felony indictments does not somehow cross the threshold of the integrity and self-respect bar?

    Sure he does but he’s not a prosecutor, he’s a New Yorker which to some degree explains his behavior. :devil:His actions have absolutely no bearing on whether or not Willis and Wade should continue in the position ls prosecutors. Well DT’s actions have no bearing on the Willis and Wade issue unless this specific situation is viewed in the fog of TDS.

    The Willis and Wade situation has not bearing on any case involving DT. The question is ….. should their relationship, Wade’s hiring by Willis to work for her, Willis’ misrepresentations in her testimony……. result in both departing (voluntarily or otherwise) the Fulton County DA’s office?

    I believe all of the controversy surrounding the behavior of Willis and Wade should result in the immediate removal of the “DT tried to steal the election in Georgia” cases. A far less controversial and more qualified team should take over those cases. Perhaps a team of prosecutors from another jurisdiction.

    What does have bearing is whether there is an actual conflict of interest and so far Trump's attorneys have failed to meet that standard and once again quoting Bob Costas, the real Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is the slavish devotion to Trump by his supporters to the point where they wouldn't even consider supporting other candidates or questioning the behavior of the defeated indicted former president.

    TDS is running strong and deep today!!

    The entire discussion of “Willis and Wade” has nothing to do with DT, etal ….. unless one’s DTS brings about an erroneous intermingling of the two issues.

    It’s all good.
