The Fulton DA's boyfriend - Fani Willis...

Whoopsie...
A stunningly salacious motion filed Monday by a lawyer for one of Donald Trump’s codefendants in a criminal case in Georgia accuses Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis of engaging in an “improper, clandestine personal relationship” with a married private attorney she hired as a “special prosecutor.”
The motion asserts that since Willis never got the Fulton County Commission’s approval to hire Nathan Wade, as required by state law, “the entire prosecution is invalid and unconstitutional.” It argues that Wade, “who assisted in obtaining both grand jury indictments,” wasn’t lawfully appointed.
If the case proceeds, the motion requests that Willis’ office as well as Wade be recused from further involvement, which ostensibly would mean that another prosecutor’s office would take over the case and put fresh eyes on the entire theory of prosecution.
The motion was filed by Ashleigh Merchant, who represents Mike Roman in the criminal case Willis is prosecuting against Roman, Trump and other defendants.
Moar popcorn.

Ken White says that in CA she’d be facing charges, assuming it’s true.
Though none of that is particularly exculpatory for the defendants.

There's a pretty good chance that if the State of Georgia wants to, they could bring charges.
You know, I thought citizens were supposed to be entitled to a fair trial in this country. Alas, I guess that hinges on what your politics are...

In Georgia, would she be dismissed from the case?

No, but it throws a serious monkey wrench into the proceedings. If the special prosecutor was appointed illegally, wouldn't they have to start from scratch?

She's politicking at a church. I know, it's common, but should be prohibited.
In this statement, doesn't she actually admit the accusations against her?

It turns out Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis may have paid a huge amount of taxpayers’ money to a chief investigator who is also her boyfriend.
Further, special prosecutor Nathan Wade was reportedly using the taxpayers’ money to buy Willis gifts and vacations.
When the story broke, even The New York Times had to cover it. When sex, power, and money combine into one story, the news media simply can’t resist—even if it ruins one of their favorite hobbies (attacking Donald Trump).
As a nonlawyer, it hit me instantly that Willis had almost certainly broken the law and should be subject to criminal prosecution.
A friend of mine who is a lawyer in Georgia confirmed my instinct. He sent me a whole range of crimes that may be implicated by Willis having misused (read stolen) public money for her private pleasures and purposes.
He suggested a preliminary review led to a series of potential federal and state criminal violations. His list included:
- Honest services fraud, or essentially kickbacks (18 USC 1346).
- Violation of public oath (Ga. Code Ann., § 16-10-1).
- Bribery (Ga. Code Ann., § 16-10-2).
- Improper influence of a government official (Ga. Code Ann., § 16-10-5).
- Criminal conspiracy (Ga. Code Ann., § 16-4-8).
- Conspiracy to defraud government (Ga. Code Ann., § 16-10-21).
- Racketeering (Ga. Code Ann., §§ 16-14-1 through 12).
- False statements and concealment (Ga. Code Ann., § 16-10-20).
- Fulton County’s gift ban (Fulton County Code of Laws § 2-69(a)).
- Similar Georgia laws against public corruption.
He goes on to suggest that the case be thrown out because of possible coordination with the White House.
Clearly, the Georgia case is so contaminated by corruption and political coordination that all the charges should be thrown out. Those who previously pleaded guilty should be absolved of actions taken after being pressured by a clearly corrupt prosecutor.
As for Willis, she will almost certainly be disbarred and may face prosecution and jail time.
Congress now has an obligation to dig into the corruption, law-breaking, and dishonesty of its Jan. 6 committee. Critically, Congress must also uncover how much coordination has been going on between the Biden White House and the various cases against Trump.
It is conceivable that every case is contaminated by White House interference and will have to be thrown out.
Willis may be a small part of a much larger, deeply corrupt legal war against Biden’s political opponent.

On First Amendment grounds, I am OK with politicking at a church -- as long as that church does not claim any tax exemption or tax advantaged status.
