Fani Willis misconduct hearing

Does it even matter though? Even if your characterization is true, cross-examination can pretty much ask whatever they want as long as it is relevant to the situation and doesn't breach privilege. If there is an objection, Willis had representation there to make such an objection.

Perhaps …. but it is really puzzling why an ostensibly intelligent, educated, ethical professional would not reimburse her intra-office subordinate romantic partner in a fashion that would leave a clear audit trail of those reimbursements and the reason for such reimbursement ….. in the event of future scrutiny. One would think that a trained criminal prosecutor would really understand the importance of this need.

No one should be criticized for being skeptical of the old ….. “it was handle in cash” explanation, especially when used by an elected official and lawyer.

 

Nice try but no

 

Those are good points but I still cannot find a big beef in this burger. For a conflict of interest to exist, according to Ga law and my understanding, she would have to benefit materially from appointing Wade - that's why all the questions of who paid for meals and airline tickets (kinda chickenshit in my view) - however, a lot of the questions had to do with when their relationship began because trump's attorneys claim it started before Wade and Willis claim in their sworn statements. If they lied, it's stupid by them and probably enough to get her removed - but it's a case of he said/she said all under oath. Benefit of any doubt likely goes to the DA.

What is uncontroverted is trump called the Ga SOS and asked him to find an additional 11,800 votes and suggested the SOS could just say he recalculated. This behavior cannot be allowed to go unpunished in a democracy.

 

The standard in Georgia for removal of a prosecutor or more specifically Fani Willis is whether she has a personal interest or stake in the prosecution of the defendants and the defense attorneys have come nowhere close to meeting that standard. The judge could also disqualify her if he found that she lied on her affidavit regarding when the romantic relationship between her and Nathan Wade had begun and evidence on that issue is inconclusive at best. Giving the attorneys representing Trump and his codefendants in the Fulton County RICO case credit their attempt to disqualify Willis is one of the more creative strategies used by attorneys in the many cases involving the defeated indicted former president.

 

It's probably worth noting that yesterday left off with the judge re-considering the question of whether Wade's divorce lawyer's privilege assertion still held water, as Merchant made the court aware that Wade's lawyer had already breached attorney-client privilege by discussing with Merchant certain details of Wade's dealings prior to trial.

Given the judge held out that possibility at the conclusion of yesterday's private meeting with attorneys, I'd say there is a good chance Wade's divorce lawyer's privilege will die and he'll be forced to answer Merchant's questions. Which will inevitably be the final blow.

 

Wow. Anyone have a snickers ?

 

They have presented no verifiable evidence of any wrongdoing. Most of what they presented was either recanted or was just hearsay to start with.

 

If, and a big IF, Willis and everyone in her office is DQ’d from the case, who will appoint the new prosecutors? The Governor? The Ga Attorney General?

 

A committee composed of Giuliani, pillow guy, and steve bannon.

 

Boss Hogg.

 

"In Georgia, pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 15-18-5, the Prosecuting Attorneys' Council can appoint another prosecutor if a district attorney is disqualified from engaging in the prosecution of a case. An excerpt from the Official Code of Georgia Annotated is listed below for reference."

Appointment of a Substitute Prosecutor

 

Don't bother. This would be the after picture.

 

Race, gender debate brewing after Fani Willis' hearing testimony: 'High-profile Black woman' | Fox News

A conversation about race and gender is beginning to brew as Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis attempts to maintain her post as the lead prosecutor in the election racketeering case against former President Trump.

Willis, the district attorney for Fulton County, Georgia, previously said the allegations brought against her of having an "improper" romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade were made because she is Black.

Bishop Reginald T. Jackson, the presiding prelate of the Sixth Episcopal District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Georgia, told the New York Times he believes Willis wouldn't be facing the allegations of misconduct if she were "not a woman and Black."

"Everything she does is going to be scrutinized, so for her to do this is just bizarre," Pinder told the outlet. "As a Black woman, I know there are unique challenges when you’re in a position of power, but that doesn’t excuse behavior that was dubious and unethical."

This is so ridiculous that as soon as they start to lose or don't get their way liberals attempt to make this about race. Liberals are the main reason the race issue keeps coming up, they keep throwing gasoline on the fire.

 

Going to have to disagree with the Bishop here. The reason she's facing these allegations is because it's a hail mary attempt to disrupt the case against Trump.

Wouldn't have mattered if it were a 70 year old lifetime NRA member prosecuting Trump - people would have been digging for any dirt possible to discredit him.

Willis has no one to blame but herself for being in this position.

 

Well, she brought the pile dirt with her. She's getting what a crooked liar deserves.

 

Exactly. I think people often misconstrue the real tribes to which people belong. On this board, black and white, male and female, rich and poor, south and north …all of them take a back seat to left and right.

Brett Kavanaugh said himself, anyone who investigates the president is going to be seen as biased.

 

Crazy lefties shoulda left his ass alone at least until after the election.

 

Crazy righties should vote for a non-criminal, non-rapist.
