scurry-about to find somebody - anybody - to step in for Fani.
But the case is tainted beyond repair...

According to publicly available records, Fani Willis visited the White House and met with Kamala Harris in February 2023 – several months before the Trump RICO indictment.
Merchant testified to this on Wednesday.
... Heard from Mr. Dershowitz today - he feels that both Fani andTrump is under indictments along with a host of others, many of whom have plead guilty.
Nathan should face disbarment for their lies and bad ways.
... Oh, look how far we've come - from Fani leading the charges
against Trump and the others - to prolly being charged herself.

Doubtful.
... Heard from Mr. Dershowitz today - he feels that both Fani andDouch-awitz anymore is a paid shill. There once was a time where his input meant something, and he was viewed as impartial and from a purist perspective, and application of the laws and statutes. That was then,- this is now. Now all the intent is, is for the same thing everyone on FOX News does. SELL BOOKS. Sell Pillows, Sell, sell sell sell.
Nathan should face disbarment for their lies and bad ways.

There are all those whom have pled guilty already- (which apparently doesnt' count in their books), and there is guilt by association. Whether Fani lied to cover up an affair or not, is really relevance to Trump etal's legal issues.
You continue to try and believe that this somehow negates that.

...6. Willis and Wade took great care to hide their relationship, and may have tampered with witnesses. Merchant told the committee that Willis had hidden her relationship with Wade even from her father, “who she speaks with ten times per day.” She went on to say a man named Gabe Banks, who is married to an employee of the Fulton County DA’s office and also may have a special assistant district attorney contract with that office, called Terrence Bradley to probe whether he had leaked the existence of the relationship to Merchant. Wade then called Bradley’s best friend and asked that he remind Bradley of his attorney client privilege. Merchant says Bradley expressed feeling intimidated by the calls because it had not been disclosed to anyone that he was Merchant’ source.
The Fulton County D.A.’s Office filed motions to quash all of Merchant’s subpoenas stating that Merchant was making up the existence of the relationship, which forced Merchant to name Bradley as her source in subsequent filings.
5. Fani Willis Met with Kamala Harris and Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens at the White House Before Indicting Trump. From the beginning a great many people have suspected Willis of acting from a political basis and not actually seeking justice. Merchant showed members of the committee White House logs that recorded the meeting on February 28th, 2023. This will further fuel the claims that Willis has acted politically and opens up new questions about the White House’s involvement in the case and what was discussed during that meeting.
Also, when Fani Willis was on the stand during her hearing, she denied ever visiting the White House while under oath. A troubling development that isn’t backed by the log Merchant provided the Senate today.
4. Fani Willis used Civil Asset Forfeiture Funds to pay Nathan Wade. Y’all know how I feel about Civil Asset Forfeiture, but there is something rich about a prosecutor who claims to carry around large amounts of cash, which by itself is enough to have the cash seized by police in our state, using those funds to pay her boyfriend’s hourly rate.
3. Nathan Wade accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments and hid the money from his ex-wife. Merchant claimed that Wade had begun depositing his earnings from the RICO case into a solo IOLTA account, separate from his partners. As evidence she pointed to canceled checks from Fulton County which were deposited into that account. IOLTA stands for “Interest on Lawyers’ Trust Accounts,” and are used to hold money that belongs to clients and cannot be used for their operating expenses. Merchant pointed out that Wade parked a huge amount of money into that IOLTA account and then in his divorce proceedings claimed to only be making a couple thousand dollars per month when records show he was earning $35,000 per month.
2. Merchant used the same investigator to analyze Willis and Wade’s cellphone data who Willis is using in the YSL trial. The big bombshell from Merchant’s hearing to remove Fani Willis from the case was the existence of cellphone and geolocation data that puts Wade at Willis’s home overnight when both had testified under oath that Wade has not spent the night there. The Fulton County D.A.’s office has since filed with the court claiming that geolocation and cellphone data is inconsistent and cannot be trusted.
Unless you have been under a rock, you know about the Young Thug YSL (Young Slime Life) RICO trial that is going on as we breathe, also in Fulton County. Merchant used the same investigator to analyze Wade’s cellphone data that the Fulton County D.A. is using in that case.
Awkward. So which is it, Fani? Is it good to prosecute and prove location for Young Thug but not for you? I imagine every defense attorney in Fulton County will be using that filing against the D.A. in every case moving forward.
Number One: Ashleigh Merchant is not just a crackerjack lawyer, she is a pretty dogged investigator too. I tell ya what, if I am ever accused of a crime, I am going to be calling Ashleigh Merchant. During the course of her testimony today, she went into great detail into all of the little steps she took to investigate and document every aspect of her accusations against Wade and Willis. She filed open records requests for Wade’s badge access to the D.A.’s office to track his movements. She looked into his financial records. She contacted every D.A. in the state to ask them about their use of special assistant district attorneys. She subpoenaed phone records. She tracked, detailed, and documented every one of her claims...
... Let's venture back into what we KNOW - that Fulton CountyHad that been the case, this thread would have died a well deserved death months ago,
Fani (pronounced "Fon-nee") NOW has political challengers
for her job... A Democrat fellow to challenge her in the primary
and then a battle with a "Trump" Republican woman in the general
election - that is IF Fani even gets that-far...

I'm not saying Lawyers don't have a place in society, I'm saying- when you represent ppl who are criminals and mostly guilty- some of that rubs off on the lawyers too.

[LEFT]While I can certainly see the budgetary and time savings, as well as your unique qualifications for the role of being Prosecutor, Judge, Jury and Defense council, all at the same time, I'm just kind of old fashioned about silly things like jurisprudence, due process and being innocent until proven guilty - for some odd reason.
Also, I have learned the hard way, that while a good lawyer is worth their salary, a great lawyer is priceless. Originally Posted by Why_Yes_I_Do
