Yes, bearing on the procedure. Not on the merits. Those are 2 entirely separate issues. I should have been clearer in distinguishing those 2 things.

My question is why did the prosecutor meet not once but twice about the case with the WH and paid extremely well (approximately 700k ) by Ga. tax payers. WH should not be involved in a state case what so ever. More evidence the charges are driven by Biden and his cronies. Plus the prosecutor is not qualified to be involved in this type of case.

The last piece is why I'm surprised that many who are adamant that Trump be convicted... aren't more upset by this.
I'd be quite upset with DA Willis' actions in hiring the 'worst' possible person to help lead in this case.
🚨🚨🚨 EXCLUSIVE🚨🚨🚨
In addition to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis paying her lover Nathan Wade nearly $700,000 of taxpayer funds, Fani also spread the money from the Fulton County coffers to Terrence Ahmed Bradley, who is Nathan Wade’s divorce attorney/tenant.
So basically, while Fani was having an affair with a married man (Nathan Wade), she used $75,000 of Fulton County taxpayer money to pay for her lover’s divorce lawyer’s fees. Her lover Nathan Wade is the landlord for his divorce lawyer, as I have also uncovered that Wade is the owner of the office space that his lawyer Terrence Ahmed Bradley rents from him. He’s owned the space since 2017.
Additionally, records also reveal that Fani Willis also funneled $126,070 to another attorney named Christopher Campbell, who just happens to be Nathan Wade’s law partner.
This looks like potential money laundering of Fulton County, Georgia taxpayer funds by the corrupt, anti-Trump, Fulton County District Attorney, Fani Willis.
RECEIPTS! 👇🏻 I have prepared a 4 image breakdown of the receipts below.
Fani the fraud.
All charges must be dropped. Fraudulent, malicious prosecution

You don't see a problem with a prosecutor hiring her "best friend" who is completely unqualified and committing fraud on the American people in order to prosecute a former President?
She is going to end up in jail. It's going to be glorious. The new prosecutor will drop the charges against Trump. The long d!ck of the law!
Your argument is that she overpaid an inexperienced prosecutor? Wow. That guy got already got four guilty pleas. Imagine if she had hired someone more experienced. Trump would have already fled to Moscow.
Your argument is that she fraudulently overpaid an inexperienced prosecutor? Wow. That guy got already got four guilty pleas. Imagine if she had hired someone more experienced. Trump would have already fled to Moscow.
So she overpays loverboy, who was married, who then returns the favor and takes her on lavish vacations?
The argument is that the actions of the DA seem to be at best unethical, and at worst… aligned with what they are charging others with.
Regardless of your political views here… the public trust in the DAs office is eroding quickly, and any convictions or impending trials are subject to being voided.
Currently it appears based on what we know … the DAs office has used taxpayers money to fund romantic liaisons, help fund her lovers divorce proceedings, and line the pockets of his partners under the guise of prosecuting crimes.
She hasn’t denied this… merely stating calling these allegations out is racist.
Everything, every piece of evidence and charge she has levied is now suspect.
And that’s on her.
It starting to look very bad…. From his credit card statements:
On Oct. 4, 2022, Wade purchased American Airlines tickets to Miami for himself, Willis and Clara Bowman, who is believed to be Wade’s mother and who traveled from Texas. The three tickets cost a combined $1,367. That same day, he paid more than $2,600 to Royal Caribbean Cruises. On Oct. 5, Wade spent approximately $3,800 with Vacation Express, a company that offers vacation packages and tours. Wade, Willis and Bowman arrived in Miami on Oct. 28, according to flight records reviewed by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The records also show that Wade paid for airfare to travel with Willis from Miami to Aruba. Bowman stayed in Miami and returned to Texas on Oct. 31, flight records show. There were additional charges on the card of $370 for the Hyatt Regency in Aruba on Nov. 4 and $3,173 to Norwegian Cruise Line on Nov. 7. It was not clear who took either of the cruises or who stayed at the Hyatt.
On April 25, 2023, Wade purchased $817.80 in Delta Air Lines tickets to San Francisco in both his and Willis’ names, although they do not show when the flight was taken. They also show that on May 14, Wade spent $840.22 for what appears to be a stay at the DoubleTree hotel in Napa Valley.

Some eye opening facts in this article from the AJC.
www.ajc.com
A few notable facts:
“ Wade’s biography on his law firm website states he was “recently appointed special assistant attorney general for the state of Georgia… In December 2010, then-Attorney General Thurbert Baker appointed Wade as a special assistant attorney general, according to a letter provided to the AJC. The appointment came just a month before Baker left office.
But Kara Richardson, communications director for Attorney General Chris Carr, said his office has “no records to indicate that Mr. Wade was ever engaged as a special assistant attorney general” going back to 2006. The AJC found no record of work he had conducted in or for the AG’s office.”
“Neither Wade nor Willis’ office responded to questions about Wade’s status as a special assistant attorney general, or his other qualifications. A spokesperson for the district attorney’s office has said it will comment on the allegations in court filings.”
“ Wade’s work as a prosecutor outside of his involvement in the election interference case was called into question by Ashleigh Merchant, who represents defendant Michael Roman in the case.
It was Merchant who publicly suggested Wade and Willis were more than just colleagues. In that court filing she said she could find no proof Wade had prosecuted a felony case. Neither could the AJC.
Wade’s online biography states he has worked as a prosecutor, but offers no insight into the cases he’s prosecuted.”
In 2020, Cobb County Sheriff Neil Warren asked Wade’s law firm to investigate operations at the county jail following the deaths of numerous inmates. In a related lawsuit, 11Alive claimed the investigation was just a ruse to deny its requests for records about the deaths.
The station’s complaint against Warren, Wade and Cobb County’s records custodian alleged that Wade had “no experience, education, training, certifications, or specialized skills that qualify him to investigate jailhouse deaths, complaints regarding use of force, or potential civil rights violations” and “no bona fide investigative authority.”
The complaint alleged that Wade did not charge the sheriff’s office for the investigation, and suggested he was hired because he was a friend of the sheriff and his chief deputy. The judge in the case said in an order that Wade had agreed to work for the sheriff “pro bono.”
Upon information and belief, Mr. Wade has not generated or provided to the sheriff’s office any written work product related to his ‘investigation’ in the three months since it began,” the Sept. 17, 2020, lawsuit stated.
11Alive reported in October 2020 that Wade had admitted during a hearing in the case that he had kept no records of his investigation.
“I have obviously my brainchild, what’s going on in my mind about it,” Wade said, according to the Atlanta news station.
No records of his work have ever been produced.
I’m not saying this guy is evil, or a bad dude… but he is extremely incompetent and has had only the threat of the DAs office coming after someone to accomplish anything. The guilty pleas he has gotten are aligned to people not having the money to fight the battle more so than his talent or merits in the case.
And it’s apparent now (at least in the court of public opinion) that his hiring, his close to 700k salary, and his trips with the DA are all suspect, without merit, and an abuse of taxpayer dollars.
No doubt n my mind that if Fani Willis wants this case to proceed, she will need to step down as will her entire office from it. I guess the good news if you are a Trump supporter… is that DA Willis is about as brash and egotistical as Trump, and will fight to remain on the case… continuing to claim that anyone that questions her morality and legality is a racist.

The good news is that no one falls for the racist crap anymore. That boy has cried wolf one too many times. Any charges against Trump will always be tainted due to these two frauds.
And for those asking… here’s a list of what could happen…
Willis, an elected Democrat, has shown no signs of stepping down, but there are ways she could be removed. Here’s a look at some options:
What can the judge do?
Merchant’s motion asks Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee to remove Willis and Wade and their offices from any further prosecution of the case. McAfee has the power to do that.
In fact, another judge, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney, took that step in July 2022 when he was presiding over the special grand jury investigation that preceded the indictment in the election case.
Then-Sen. Burt Jones, one of 16 Georgia Republicans who signed a certificate falsely stating that Trump had won the election and declaring themselves the state’s “duly elected and qualified” electors, had been told he was a target in the election case. He argued that Willis had a conflict of interest because she had hosted a fundraiser for his Democratic opponent in the lieutenant governor’s race.
McBurney ruled in Jones’ favor, writing that the situation had gone beyond bad optics and had created “a plain — and actual and untenable — conflict.” He prohibited Willis and her office from prosecuting Jones in the case.
If McAfee decides to take similar action and to remove Willis and her office from the election case, it would be up to the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia to find another prosecutor to take the case. That person could continue on the track that Willis has taken, could choose to pursue only some charges or could dismiss the case altogether.
Finding a prosecutor willing and able to take on the sprawling case could be difficult, former Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter said. Only a few district attorneys in the state — all around Atlanta — have the resources to handle such a case, he said.
Could Willis step away from the case in order to save it?
If Willis were to recuse herself, it’s likely her whole office would have to step away from the case, Porter said. In that scenario, too, it would be up to the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council to find someone to take it on.
Attorney Norm Eisen, who served as former President Barack Obama’s ethics czar, said in a press briefing Saturday that based on what he knows so far, “there is absolutely no legal basis under Georgia law” for Willis or Wade to be disqualified.
But, Eisen said, “the wise thing to do at this point is for Mr. Wade to voluntarily end his time on this case.” Even though he is not legally required to do so, Eisen said, “at this point, the conversation about these issues has become a distraction” from the “overwhelming amount of evidence justifying the decision to prosecute Mr. Trump and his co-conspirators.”
Could an oversight commission remove her?
Many Republicans would like to see Willis investigated by Georgia’s new Prosecuting Attorneys Qualification Commission. That body was created last year to discipline and remove prosecutors. But it hit a snag after the state Supreme Court refused to approve the commission’s rules.
Lawmakers this year are seeking to remove the court’s required approval, allowing the commission to begin operating. The commission would be able to remove district attorneys from office or discipline them for a conflict of interest, “conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice which brings the office into disrepute” or for “willful misconduct in office.”
However, it’s unlikely that the commission could remove Willis just from the Trump case, unless she agreed to step aside in a negotiated settlement.
Could state lawmakers impeach Willis?
A few lawmakers have proposed impeaching and removing Willis, an idea Trump endorsed over the summer. However, Georgia’s General Assembly hasn’t impeached anyone in more than 50 years. And a two-thirds majority of the state Senate is required to convict. That’s a tough hurdle because Republicans currently control less than two-thirds in the 56-seat Senate. A Republican is likely to win a vacant seat, bringing the GOP majority back to 33. Even then, five Democrats would have to vote to convict.
Also working against an impeachment proceeding: All of Georgia’s lawmakers are up for reelection this year. Taking up impeachment could keep them in session and off the campaign trail.
State Sen. Colton Moore of Trenton tried to persuade fellow Republicans to call themselves into special session over the summer to go after Willis, but never got close.
Could the state bar step in?
The State Bar of Georgia, which regulates lawyers, adopted special rules in 2021 governing prosecutorial misconduct. But those rules dealt with a prosecutor’s duty to disclose evidence that might prove someone’s innocence.
If Willis were to face consequences from the bar, she would have to be disciplined under the rules applying to all lawyers. The bar has rules against conflicts of interest, but they are mostly geared to private lawyers who may mistreat clients. It’s unclear how those rules might apply to this case.
Are there other consequences?
A Fulton County commissioner, Republican Bob Ellis, sent Willis a letter Friday demanding information on how she spent county money and “whether any payments of county funds to Mr. Wade were converted to your personal gain in the form of subsidized travel or other gifts.” Commissioners could cut Willis’ budget in the future, but Democrats hold a majority on the commission. Fulton County’s government has a code of ethics, but the county doesn’t appear to prohibit consensual relationships. The county Board of Ethics could fine and reprimand Willis, but doesn’t have the power to remove her.
Similarly on Monday, State Sen. Brandon Beach, an Alpharetta Republican and close Trump ally, asked state Inspector General Nigel Lange to investigate if state funds were spent on Wade that later flowed to Willis’ personal use.
Republican state Sen. Greg Dolezal of Cumming on Monday proposed a special Senate committee to investigate Willis, saying a “thorough and impartial examination” would “ensure transparency, accountability and the preservation of the integrity of our justice system.” Dolezal’s proposed resolution suggests legal or budget changes could follow any inquiry.

So… the case is in jeopardy because of her actions.
If she stays on, it will be very difficult to prosecute a case where the DA is accused of, and probably guilty of wrong doing herself.
If she is removed or steps down, very difficult to get another office to step in.., especially one not in Fulton.

I don’t think Willis will step aside. There is a real possibility that she ends up in jail. She needs prosecute Trump to save her own hide.
I don’t think she will step aside either, but jail? Nope. She is too insulated to be taken down IMO.
What will make her uncomfortable is the bridges she burned to get this role. She basically turned on her former boss Paul Howard… FOR ALMOST the same thing.

Overpaying your illicit lover and then using that money to go on vacation could be seen as embezzlement.
If Trump gets elected, there will be massive incentive to throw her in jail. Turnabout is fair play.
I think the smart political play for her is to step down, avoid charges, allow the state to attempt to find someone else to continue the case (they won’t) and set herself up with a nice private practice where she can state she was the only one able to bring charges and make “them stick.”
She avoids much of the responsibility… and can continue her career on the talk circuit and claim she was pushed out because of (insert claim here)
The case against Trump fails to move forward but she can claim she was successful.
This is probably how it’ll all play out.
Each “side” claiming victory and justice.
Just going off Trumps history as a “fighter” I think there will be strong incentive to hold her feet to the fire. If you come for the king you best not miss.
I don’t even know if she committed a crime, but that didn’t stop her with Trump. Turnabout is FairPlay. Republicans need to fight fire with fire and I expect that if Trump wins.
I can't even BEGIN to tell you all the lines this crosses...
Holy shit...Fani is not only going to end up having all these cases dropped, she's gonna be VERY LUCKY to not get disbarred and end up in jail.
OK I'll take a stab at it BEGINNING to tell you just how bad this is...
Prosecutors at ANY LEVEL, county, state or federal, are very well aware it is a major breach of a defendant's rights to be sharing their prosecution evidence directly with the press.
Until a defendant is declared GUILTY, GUILTY GUILTY by a jury? The PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE takes precedence.
This is why prosecutors by law and by rule use the SECRET GRAND JURY SYSTEM to investigate potential defendants for accused crimes.
Did you know MANY people who are investigated for serious crimes by a secret grand jury are never charged because either the accusation is found to be false or there simply isn't enough concrete evidence for the grand jury to return an indictment or for the prosecutor to pursue the case in court?
ITS TRUE.
So protecting the names of the people investigated who are never charged with anything is of paramount importance. And I'm pretty ****ing sure from what I'm seeing right now, this vapid bitch was sharing all her info and evidence with this reporter [and maybe other members of the media] long before this stuff got to the trial phase. She was sharing secret grand jury material with reporters. Absolutely ****ing stunning if she did this, and based on everything ELSE she's been caught doing, I would not rule it. I would say there is a very STRONG possibility she shared grand jury materials and deliberations on people NEVER INDICTED with the press.
And even if suspects did have an indictment returned against them by the grand jury, Willis has violated the right of confidentiality by sharing evidence against them with reporters before the unsealing of their indictment, and then during the discovery phase, which is where the defendant's cases are at currently.
There is a REASON stuff is done confidentially and under seal during the grand jury, indictment, arraignment and discovery phases of a prosecution before a trial actually starts in the courtroom. ONLY ONCE THE TRIAL STARTS is anybody not directly involved in the case supposed to be seeing what the state's case is against the accused.
So when a prosecutor is able to convince a grand jury there is enough evidence to sustain an indictment of a prospective defendant, after that indictment is unsealed in court and the defendant has legal counsel present and enters a plea, MOST IF NOT ALL of the state's case against the accused is kept strictly under wraps until the trial begins. This is to PROTECT THE RIGHTS of the accused.
Only **AFTER** the state's full case against the accused has been aired in court before a jury or judge, does anybody outside the court, the defendant's team or the prosecution team get to see what all the evidence is.
So what happened here was direct violation of the rights of every single defendant going to trial in these cases in Fulton County GA.
A prosecutor before discovery is even finished in all these cases, sharing the evidence with the press in secret is not only grounds for dismissing all of the cases, Willis is going to be EXTREMELY LUCKY if she does not get disbarred and sent to prison for a brief term, likely a few months.
Everybody who expected the next 10 months in GA to be filled with scenes of Trump and his codefendants hysterically trying to fend off the heroic and noble public servant Fani Willis is she closes in on them and begins sending them to prison?
CONGRATULATIONS!
You're about to spend the next 10 months watching a VERY VERY DIFFERENT MOVIE from the one you expected. 😬
I don’t know about all that… but here’s what is factual…
Wade has submitted an affidavit stating that the relationship began after he was hired.
A former partner at his law firm has evidence and is willing to testify that the relationship began years ago.
That right there will end this.

You guys are better than Fox at sharing news
The persecution of Trump is way over the top
I would love to get back to where government is about helping Americans
I heard a saying this week that tells the story
Politician says I went into public service to help people and I did by helping me
Or another said I went into government service to do good and I did well
Either way it tells the story

I took a few more minutes to think on this being shared with a news organization
My thinking is all charges against ALL defendants is now corrupted as no one knows what impact it had on the jury pool
I was thinking new DA and continue trials
With the new revelations this case is now a corpse

For what it is worth… the lead in these investigations into the DA and her conduct has been the AJC.
Not a right wing, Trump supporting media source.
Leroy Champman who took over as the AJC editor about 2 years ago has truly had the paper lean in to investigating all aspects of news.
From the UGA car crash and subsequent allegations, to the Trump indictment and the DA investigation… they really have approached a much more (dare I say) non partisan approach to journalism.

She is the typical militant black female. Corrupt as hell. They need to ask her how much money she has been given by Soros.
Also, the big question- how is it possible that every swing state stopped counting votes at the same time on election night? Trump leading big in each of those states then miraculously, he was losing in each of those states after counting restarted!! Do they think we are that stupid??!’
