Wade’s divorce attorney Bradley scheduled to testify at 2pm.

Trump Georgia case: ‘Star witness’ to testify over Fani Willis misconduct allegations

 

2:12 PM: Analysis from Amy B Wang, National politics reporter

Terrence Bradley, Nathan Wade’s former law partner and divorce attorney, has taken the stand to testify. Right off the bat, he was asked if he had knowledge of when Wade’s relationship with Fani T. Willis started. He said he did not.

2:09 PM: Analysis from Amy Gardner, National reporter

Wow — out of the gate, Judge Scott McAfee says that neither Nathan Wade nor Terrence Bradley established that attorney-client privilege prevents Bradley from talking specifically about his knowledge of Wade’s relationship with District Attorney Fani T. Willis. Potentially bad news for Wade and Willis.

Bradley denied/recanted that he knew when the Willis/Wade relationship started.

Now let's end this thing and get back to frying the orange traitor.

 

Listening to the testimony on NBC news. Sadow killed Bradley.

Bradley is a terrible witness. Hard to believe this guy graduated from law school and passed the bar exam. He either has one of the worst recollections in history or is simply lying. Gotta love lawyers ….. especially when one is going after another.

 

That may be, but they still need to prove a conflict of interest and I don't think Bradley saying he doesn't recall dates and that he was speculating is going to help get Willis thrown off.

Definitely embarrassing for Bradley though.

 

Willis has bollixed her reputation badly but the defense hasn’t come close to proving an actual conflict of interest existed significant enough to have her removed from the case.

Whether there was an “appearance of impropriety” is something else entirely and I don’t think anyone really knows where the judge may or may not land on that.

 

The issue goes beyond conflict of interest …. it is a matter of perjury and ethics violations.

Fani Willis already faces one ethics hearing on March 7, 2014 and the outcome of this sideshow that ended with Bradley’s testimony today may result in another ethics complaint and/or perjury charges. Similarly, Wade and Bradley may be in trouble if they lied under oath.

 

Based upon a discussion on NPR during today’s hearing, this would be the person to decide how Georgia moves forward if the Trump, etal cases are removed from the Fulton County DA office -

Thats true for bar sanctions and civil/criminal liability but I belief the statutory grounds for disqualification of a prosecutor are narrower than that.

 

Trump didn't run afoul of the law his entire life. Suddenly he faced 4 corrupt and meritless prosecutions designed to jail and bankrupt him. I wonder why?

 

Trump is one of the most litigious people in the country so he's spent his fair share of time in courtrooms and depositions, plus the three biggest cases against him are because of actions committed after he became President (Classified Documents, Georgia Election Interference, and Jan 6th/Fake Elector Scheme). Pretty weak attempt here. 2/10.

 

I mean, if you're a Trump voter, you almost want them both to stay on, right? Doubtful this is the last mistake they'll make.

 

Despite her obvious lapse of personal judgment, Willis is likely the best public RICO prosecutor in GA and from a county financially committed to the case.

She has Trump pretty much dead to rights legally on several counts-3 people have already pled and flipped-so IF f I’m a Trump voter (and I’m obviously not) I want a less RICO-experienced prosecutor who hasn’t been on the case since day 1 who’s from a county that doesn’t have the resources of Fulton county (and probably from a County that’s not the most Democratic in the state). But that’s just me.

 

Is the a source that lists the RICO cases Willis has successfully prosecuted?

 

Oh, I agree she's quite familiar with RICO. Looks like she has RICO down to a T. Pay in cash. Vacation in Aruba. Don't embarrass me, @GatorNorth, I don't know what continent that's on.

 

Tell me you don't understand what RICO is without telling me you don't understand what RICO is.

 

So what are these crazy rumors about Willis’ subordinate Jeff Disantis? A Biden team associate?

 

I watched a lot of Bradley's testimony yesterday, and the one question with his answer that stood out the most to me was: Did you ever lie to Ms Merchant about the relationship between Wade and Willis. Answer: After a long pause, something to the effect of I don't think so and I don't recall. I don't know about you but if it was me, I would certainly remember if I lied, and the only reason to pause is to think whether there is evidence to prove I lied. If this was the slam dunk case against Trump, this team has certainly botched their credibility, causing many to lean towards a political witch hunt. I'm not saying he is innocent or guilty, I'm just saying the optics and the action by Willis and Wade is cause for a lot of concern to the veracity of the charges.

 

I watched most of the hearing. Bradley did not come across as credible or forthcoming IMO. It also seemed like a strange hearing overall. Why was Bradley informally texting her all that stuff, how had he not reviewed the exhibits before his testimony, and why was the Merchant able to make efforts to impeach him by asking about prior discussions they had on the phone for which there didn't seem to be any writings or transcripts of those specific statements? I feel like the Judge has done a good job in a tough situation. I wonder if the people criticizing versus praising the Judge thus far are going to shift gears when he makes a ruling they don't like.
