Could someone explain how this is a viable defense?

It would seem reasonable for Fani Willis to transfer the case to another prosecutor to avoid further fallout. However, I assume that would derail her political ambitions, as well as cut off the gravy train to her specially appointed prosecutor? Unfortunately, both of those ships have sailed - and even if she rushes the case to trial and conviction, she's creating grounds for appeal. Then again, she might not care about that if she gets the conviction, any more than Letitia James or Alvin Bragg in NY.


Defense? There's no crime.

Is this a violation of ethics rules? Possibly, I don't know GA that well but it doesn't seem like it. Are the optics bad, yes, but if no rules are broken then it's not illegal or a problem.


+1. All the MAGAs up in arms over an (alleged) workplace romance. So what? Pretty sure sex isn’t illegal.


Nobody cares who she has sex with.

The issues are that:

- she hired her unqualified, secret boyfriend—who had never tried a felony case—to prosecute the unprecedented RICO felony case against the leading opposing presidential candidate

- the appointment of this prosecutor was not approved by the Fulton board of commissioners as required by law

- Fani Willis is the person who authorizes his compensation.

- she paid her secret boyfriend over $600,000, including for secret collusion with the Biden White House before her indictment of Trump

- she took illegal kickbacks from her secret boyfriend and special prosecutor in the form of lavish domestic and international vacations


These are not rea issues, sorry not sorry.


The fact that she received gifts and vacations from the person she appointed and assigned a state compensation to, bypassing state hiring practices, is in fact a federal felony. So, yes, it is a "real issue".


Proof that she received gifts and vacations from him? Even if she went on vacation with him, she probably paid her own way.


I am sure the attorney for the person bringing the claim has the receipts.
Interesting that she has not denied anything.


The attorney filed the motion without any evidence at all. The burden of proof is on the party making the motion.


This is untrue. The evidence was already submitted in a previous court proceeding-- Willis's divorce case.

You're in total denial.


The sealed evidence? Have you seen it? I haven't.

Neither has anyone else.


I see. So you have no evidence. Got it.


I'm not involved in the case so I don't have it. This is being widely reported. Significantly, Willis isn't denying it and publicly said that she has "stumbled" and that he's a "good friend." If she were denying it, I could understand your incredulity. But, she hasn't denied it and her statements can be reasonably taken as an admission that it's true.

Omg going on a vacay with your bf isn't a felony. Is it ethically questionable? Sometimes. Illegal? Nope.


DP
SHE approved his compensation.
SHE hired him without approval.


Yeah. His compensation is his and he can spend it however he wants, including on his gf.


Prior to being hired to prosecute a historic and unprecedented case, her boyfriend was a judge who mostly handled parking tickets. I think it's fair for anyone to question whether she hired the person best suited to the job, or if she hired her bf for 600k per year and benefitted from that compensation.


I don’t know where you guys get this shit. Did you ever consider actually reading about his legal career, or do you repost things you saw in truth tweets and Facebook memes?


I don't read Facebook or truth social.

You can't find anything about Nathan Wade's qualifications. Even his own firm's bio resorts to using platitudes to describe his experience. It doesnt even say where he went to law school. https://wadeandcampbell.com/nathan-j-wade/


Lots of people have questions about why he was selected. Including WaPo.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/01/14/nathan-wade-fani-willis-georgia-trump/


His background quite obviously is more than dealing with parking tickets. This is why you guys can’t be taken seriously.


Sounds like he’s more qualified than Alina Habba.


It looks like he graduated from the bottom 10% law school.


Evidence?


Good point. We are just assuming he graduated.


So you’re just making shit up. As I suspected. No reason to believe anything you people say.


You can go look up the college rankings. This isn't difficult.


You can look up where a person graduated in their law school class on a college ranking website?


You can look up the ranking *of the school*.

Her response isn’t due yet. I’ll wait to see what she says before presuming anything. I’ve practiced long enough to see lawyers make allegations that go being what is supported by the evidence. There’s probably a kernel of truth, but that doesn’t mean every allegation is true.

He's never prosecuted a felony. Ever. Much less dealt with an unprecedented case against a former president.

There's a reason you are resorting to innuendo and insults. If his background were quite obviously a plus, you'd highlight it. But like his employer, you are skirting it.


I’m sorry, but you guys just keep making up crap, and expecting me to believe it. This is not innuendo. This is not an insult. It’s factual: you are not believable.

You’ve heard of the boy who cried wolf? You’re going to defend the parking tickets claim, and now the goal post is he hasn’t prosecuted a felony? I’ll wait on the court docs. I’m not chasing down anymore of your bullshit claims. Get back to your Twitter and Facebook memes.

It has been widely reported that his experience is, ahem, more than questionable when it comes to prosecuting this case.

From Politico:
"Merchant wrote in her motion that she can find no evidence that Wade, whose law firm website promotes his experience in civil litigation, including car accident and family law cases, has ever prosecuted a felony case. She questioned his qualifications to try this case."
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/01/14/da-defends-prosecutor-trump-georgia-election-case-00135549

So, Merchant is the attorney representing the plaintiff. If there is indeed evidence of him prosecuting a felony case, you would think he, or Fani, or even a sympathetic media group like MSNBC would have found it and presented it at this point. But, crickets.

There is plenty to investigate here when it comes to Fani Willis.

The MAGA attorneys have proven again and again that they’re willing to lie to the court, so if that’s your only proof, it’s not convincing to me. You go ahead and be gullible enough to believe them. I’ll wait on filings from people who don’t lie to the court.

It's reasonable to withhold judgment and wait on the filings. It's less reasonable to declare the allegations are BS when there are indications that it is possibly true.

His background quite obviously is more than dealing with parking tickets. This is why you guys can’t be taken seriously.


He's never prosecuted a felony. Ever. Much less dealt with an unprecedented case against a former president.

There's a reason you are resorting to innuendo and insults. If his background were quite obviously a plus, you'd highlight it. But like his employer, you are skirting it.


I’m sorry, but you guys just keep making up crap, and expecting me to believe it. This is not innuendo. This is not an insult. It’s factual: you are not believable.

You’ve heard of the boy who cried wolf? You’re going to defend the parking tickets claim, and now the goal post is he hasn’t prosecuted a felony? I’ll wait on the court docs. I’m not chasing down anymore of your bullshit claims. Get back to your Twitter and Facebook memes.


It has been widely reported that his experience is, ahem, more than questionable when it comes to prosecuting this case.

From Politico:
"Merchant wrote in her motion that she can find no evidence that Wade, whose law firm website promotes his experience in civil litigation, including car accident and family law cases, has ever prosecuted a felony case. She questioned his qualifications to try this case."
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/01/14/da-defends-prosecutor-trump-georgia-election-case-00135549

So, Merchant is the attorney representing the plaintiff. If there is indeed evidence of him prosecuting a felony case, you would think he, or Fani, or even a sympathetic media group like MSNBC would have found it and presented it at this point. But, crickets.

There is plenty to investigate here when it comes to Fani Willis.


The MAGA attorneys have proven again and again that they’re willing to lie to the court, so if that’s your only proof, it’s not convincing to me. You go ahead and be gullible enough to believe them. I’ll wait on filings from people who don’t lie to the court.


It's reasonable to withhold judgment and wait on the filings. It's less reasonable to declare the allegations are BS when there are indications that it is possibly true.


DP. No, that's reasonable too. ETTD isn't a hashtag, it's an observation that turns out to be true again and again and again.

Could someone explain how this is a viable defense?

It would seem reasonable for Fani Willis to transfer the case to another prosecutor to avoid further fallout. However, I assume that would derail her political ambitions, as well as cut off the gravy train to her specially appointed prosecutor? Unfortunately, both of those ships have sailed - and even if she rushes the case to trial and conviction, she's creating grounds for appeal. Then again, she might not care about that if she gets the conviction, any more than Letitia James or Alvin Bragg in NY.


Defense? There's no crime.

Is this a violation of ethics rules? Possibly, I don't know GA that well but it doesn't seem like it. Are the optics bad, yes, but if no rules are broken then it's not illegal or a problem.


+1. All the MAGAs up in arms over an (alleged) workplace romance. So what? Pretty sure sex isn’t illegal.


Nobody cares who she has sex with.

The issues are that:

- she hired her unqualified, secret boyfriend—who had never tried a felony case—to prosecute the unprecedented RICO felony case against the leading opposing presidential candidate

- the appointment of this prosecutor was not approved by the Fulton board of commissioners as required by law

- Fani Willis is the person who authorizes his compensation.

- she paid her secret boyfriend over $600,000, including for secret collusion with the Biden White House before her indictment of Trump

- she took illegal kickbacks from her secret boyfriend and special prosecutor in the form of lavish domestic and international vacations


These are not rea issues, sorry not sorry.


The fact that she received gifts and vacations from the person she appointed and assigned a state compensation to, bypassing state hiring practices, is in fact a federal felony. So, yes, it is a "real issue".


Omg going on a vacay with your bf isn't a felony. Is it ethically questionable? Sometimes. Illegal? Nope.


DP
SHE approved his compensation.
SHE hired him without approval.


Yeah. His compensation is his and he can spend it however he wants, including on his gf.


Prior to being hired to prosecute a historic and unprecedented case, her boyfriend was a judge who mostly handled parking tickets. I think it's fair for anyone to question whether she hired the person best suited to the job, or if she hired her bf for 600k per year and benefitted from that compensation.


I don’t know where you guys get this shit. Did you ever consider actually reading about his legal career, or do you repost things you saw in truth tweets and Facebook memes?


I don't read Facebook or truth social.

You can't find anything about Nathan Wade's qualifications. Even his own firm's bio resorts to using platitudes to describe his experience. It doesnt even say where he went to law school. https://wadeandcampbell.com/nathan-j-wade/

The allegations are a spaghetti filing, throw anything and everything at the wall and see what sticks.

That's not an indication of merit, just the opposite.

If the plaintiffs attorneys think Wade isn’t qualified to prosecute felonies, why do they want him removed? He’s done pretty well so far with grand jury indictments, guilty pleas, and defeating plaintiffs’ motions to try to move their cases, claim executive privilege, etc.

Except I’ve read Leary of filings from MAGA attorneys to know better.

He’s an established trial attorney.

From Wash Post:

"In the fall of 2021, Nathan Wade had little experience prosecuting criminal cases in the Atlanta area, serving as a municipal judge who mostly dealt with traffic tickets and running a private practice that focuses on family law and contract disputes.

A close examination of Wade’s legal career as well as interviews with those who have known him for years reveals a respected attorney active in public life in Marietta, a northern Atlanta suburb where he lives, but one with little experience comparable to the Trump case.

Though Trump has charged that the prosecution is a partisan exercise by Democrats, Wade has attended local GOP events and describes himself as a “conservative.” He has spent years splitting his time between a private legal practice and public service, serving as a municipal judge in Cobb County, running unsuccessfully for elected judge positions and leading an investigation into deaths at the local jail.

Wade has also been mired in a contentious divorce from his wife, Joycelyn Mayfield Wade, a proceeding that Roman’s attorney claims has produced documentation pointing to the prosecutors’ alleged misconduct."

I suspect he’s a pretty good lawyer, and was hired because of it.
I also suspect that he and Fani began a relationship after working together on this case.
Not a great idea, but hardly a big deal.
Not criminal
Doesn’t change the facts of the case.

+1. If he’s such a bad lawyer, you’d think they’d want to keep him on the case. The intense focus on getting rid of him suggests that he’s been quite effective.

Conflict of interest. Go look it up. Not everything in life is about gaining advantage or unfair advantage.
