It's getting deeper...
Oh...my,
Nathan Wade appeared to make at least 35 visits to the Hapeville neighborhood where Fani Willis was living before the district attorney hired him to lead Fulton County’s election interference prosecution, according to cellphone data included in a court submission filed Friday.
The filing, by attorneys for Donald Trump, raises fresh questions about the relationship between the two prosecutors, which the former president and other defendants argue has tainted the case against them and should result in Willis and her office being disqualified.
Trump’s lawyers relied on data collected from Wade’s cellphone and cellphone tower transmissions to track his movements. It seems to contradict Wade’s testimony last week in which he said he had visited Willis at her condo in Hapeville no more than 10 times before he was hired in November 2021. It also indicates Wade twice arrived late at night at the condo and left early the next morning in the months before Willis and Wade said their relationship became romantic early in 2022.
Both Wade and Willis testified last week that they did not spend the night together at the Hapeville condo.
“We are required to respond to the filing via the court and we are preparing a response now,” Jeff DiSantis, a spokesman for Willis, said Friday.
The timeline is important for two reasons. If Willis and Wade were a couple before she hired him it raises the prospect that she may have violated at least the spirit of anti-nepotism rules, though Fulton’s policy specifically focuses on family members. More importantly, both Willis and Wade have testified under oath that the relationship began in 2022. If defense attorneys can prove that they lied under oath it could constitute perjury.
Friday’s court filing includes an affidavit from Charles Mittelstadt, a longtime investigator for defense attorneys. He said he obtained the cellphone data from AT&T through a subpoena.
Mittelstadt said he used the online tool, CellHawk, to determine where Wade spent his time in 2021. “CellHawk is considered by law enforcement to be the gold standard in cellphone records analytics,” Mittelstadt said, noting it is used by law enforcement throughout the U.S. and Georgia.
The affidavit says Willis and Wade called each other more than 2,000 times during the first 11 months of 2021 and exchanged just less than 10,000 text messages.
2000 phone calls in 11 months. 10,000 texts over the same period.
I'm surprised they had time to practice any law.

We don’t like to go out on a limb - but these records are a game changer. Previously, we discussed whether Judge McAfee would determine whether there was an appearance of impropriety, given the conflicting testimony from witnesses about the romantic relationship.
Now?
These records are sufficient to erase any doubt in Judge McAfee’s mind. They support the testimony of Robin Yeartie, DA Willis’s former friend who testified that there was “no doubt” the relationship started before Wade became Special Prosecutor. They contradict the testimony from DA Willis and Wade. In other words, these records - which will likely be more thoroughly analyzed to show more damning late-night visits - make disqualification a likelihood, not just a possibility. (Although a likelihood still is guaranteed.)
But disqualification would just be the start.
Wade’s cell phone records also increase the exposure of DA Willis and Nathan Wade for criminal charges charges - including perjury/false statements, depending on the prosecutor. (Easy to imagine that a Democrat prosecutor wouldn’t take the case...) At a minimum, DA Willis and Wade face an increased potential for severe punishment from the Georgia Bar, whether suspension of their law licenses, disbarment, or other sanctions.

@taiwan_girl said in Fani Woes:
10,000 texts over the same period.
Giving President Trump a run
26,237 - Number of tweets and retweets Trump published as president from his @realDonaldTrump account,
Not even close.
10,000 texts over 11 months = 30 per day
26,237 texts over 4 years = 18 per day, and that includes tweets.

Whose job is somewhat more important? LOL
I would say that the job of a President of the US is at least 100's of times more important.
President Trump was sending about 1.5x less.
I think we can agree that President Trump spent too much time on social media. The numbers above dont include texts so we have no idea how many of those he sent.
-
I understand that, but I was focusing on the sheer numbers of tweets that President Trump did (and that does not count how many texts he was sending also - he could have been sending an equal number to his loving
girlfriendswife.) -
Lol

More Fani woes.
The judge presiding over Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' case announced Monday that the former law partner of special prosecutor Nathan Wade will have to testify in court on his knowledge of the timeline of the intimate relationship between Willis and Wade.
Defense counsel claimed the ex-law partner, Terrence Bradley, had direct knowledge that Willis and Wade's relationship started before Wade was hired in the election interference case involving former President Donald Trump. The testimony of Bradley, who is also Wade's former divorce lawyer, is expected to resume Tuesday afternoon.
The judge's decision came after an in-camera hearing Monday with Bradley and his lawyer, after the judge previously said it appeared Bradley may have been misusing his attorney-client privilege.

Terrence Bradley's testimony on Tuesday may have "undermined" the credibility of District Attorney Fani Willis as she fights to remain on the election subversion case against former President Donald Trump, according to CNN senior legal analyst Laura Coates.
Bradley—the former divorce lawyer for Fulton County Special Counsel Nathan Wade—was called to the witness stand after the presiding judge in the disqualification case ruled on Monday that he was not covered by attorney-client privilege.
"I think it has undermined the credibility of the arguments made by both Nathan Wade and also Fani Willis," Coates said during an appearance on The Lead with Jake Tapper.

OMFG. Let's talk about the serious stuff here...
Fani Willis has been furiously mocked on social media over accusations that she accidentally put on her dress backwards before taking the stand in court this week.
The 53-year-old Fulton County District Attorney - who has been testifying at a hearing over misconduct allegations - was brutally savaged on social media after eagle-eyed users pointed out that she had a zipper running up the front of her pink frock.
