Sounds like the analysis on the Georgia case about Willis conflict [View all] JohnSJ Feb 2024 OP

Can't the case be re-assigned? no_hypocrisy Feb 2024 #1

The GOP controlled Georgia edhopper Feb 2024 #2

If they are disqualified, the analysis on MSNBC, including Weisman, the JohnSJ Feb 2024 #4

The disccussion on MSNBC is saying that Willis' entire office will go csziggy Feb 2024 #5

Yes it can be reassigned Zeitghost Feb 2024 #6

But by the governor FBaggins Feb 2024 #9

As far as before election, Willis said several months ago it might be 2025, although officially still set for late Aug. Silent Type Feb 2024 #3

Sure does seem Traildogbob Feb 2024 #7

Can you explain this to me? I'm not watching, but I know a consensual affair between adults doesn't Scrivener7 Feb 2024 #8

Well... FBaggins Feb 2024 #10

This is what I'm asking. What did they lie about? Scrivener7 Feb 2024 #11

When the relationship started. Reimbursements for trips. oldsoftie Feb 2024 #15

He expensed trips they took? Or he paid for them out of his own pocket? Scrivener7 Feb 2024 #17

He supposedly paid for them on his business credit card and then she paid him back in cash. progressoid Feb 2024 #28

Thank you. From Google, I am gathering that they are saying she hired him, he paid for the stuff Scrivener7 Feb 2024 #45

It also appears they started dating in 2019 or 2020. Calista241 Feb 2024 #88

He admitted that?! Under oath?! Arazi Feb 2024 #90

Well then, there you have it. So disheartening, disappointing. msfiddlestix Feb 2024 #71

On the plus side, his council is on now and making a better case. progressoid Feb 2024 #86

The grifting angle has always been weak Zeitghost Feb 2024 #91

You must be "old" (not trying to be pejorative) Arazi Feb 2024 #39

There would be records of that Sympthsical Feb 2024 #43

Yes understood. I'm not listening to it atm Arazi Feb 2024 #56

He's saying it was paper cash Sympthsical Feb 2024 #59

Ok thanks Arazi Feb 2024 #62

Yeah, even checks are long gone Sympthsical Feb 2024 #72

Hello Conjuay Feb 2024 #110

I don't know people who keep thousands of dollars of cash in their house MichMan Feb 2024 #112

Sigh, I do Arazi Feb 2024 #118

Same. intrepidity Feb 2024 #134

Be very careful with Zelle! Especially depending on what bank you use. oldsoftie Feb 2024 #109

Cash transfers leave a trail though. oldsoftie Feb 2024 #106

She is now testifying that she normally keeps thousands of dollars in cash at home MichMan Feb 2024 #113

Not trying to argue Arazi Feb 2024 #116

Stupid stuff FBaggins Feb 2024 #16

It wouldn't even be an issue if she didn't hire him. Very poor judgement. JohnSJ Feb 2024 #20

No question there FBaggins Feb 2024 #24

Yup. Sad. And makes me angry:( Before i Laura PourMeADrink Feb 2024 #41

Hiring him is not a basis for disqualification Ms. Toad Feb 2024 #51

This is what confuses me.....why does it matter if she and Wade had a relationship. Fla Dem Feb 2024 #83

If she had disclosed it from the start, it wouldnt be an issue; except his pay oldsoftie Feb 2024 #103

It has nothing to do with the affair. It is the affidavits they signed are JohnSJ Feb 2024 #18

I'm still unclear. Did they take state money to pay for non work stuff? Scrivener7 Feb 2024 #22

no, from his own business account bigtree Feb 2024 #46

I felt confident... FeelingBlue Feb 2024 #12

She should have had more sense than to hire Wade in the first place JohnSJ Feb 2024 #21

I certainly caught HELL for saying Willis had created a BIG problem. This is a disaster oldsoftie Feb 2024 #13

If she is removed edhopper Feb 2024 #30

If so, its on her. I believe it would have to stay in Fulton Co oldsoftie Feb 2024 #100

I'm not ready to blame Willis' poor judgement for this... Think. Again. Feb 2024 #14

Maybe, but it appears she exercised piss poor judgement.... Happy Hoosier Feb 2024 #19

Are you kidding me. She should have never hired Wade, and JohnSJ Feb 2024 #25

THIS would never have been a problem, but... Think. Again. Feb 2024 #26

By all appearances Wade wasn't qualified for the job, and the exchange of money to JohnSJ Feb 2024 #29

It was Willis' call on whether Wade is qualified for the strategy she was developing, no one else's... Think. Again. Feb 2024 #31

That is what the facts are presenting themselves as. This case is over JohnSJ Feb 2024 #33

Thee will always be attempts to derail a case Zeitghost Feb 2024 #64

Hopefully, the judge will see the obvious... Think. Again. Feb 2024 #67

This case will never go to trial unless the MOMFUDSKI Feb 2024 #23

That is the bottom line, and Wade has been less than honest JohnSJ Feb 2024 #27

I must have missed it... Think. Again. Feb 2024 #32

Reimbursements for hotels, cruises, and plane flights by cash? A significant JohnSJ Feb 2024 #35

Was he charging his private company or the state for these expenses? Scrivener7 Feb 2024 #37

He wasn't charging anyone for those... Think. Again. Feb 2024 #47

This is where I am so confused. This is exactly what it seems like to me. I don't get this at all. Scrivener7 Feb 2024 #52

You're doing well then, because this whole case is nothin more than.. Think. Again. Feb 2024 #54

With the certainty that she has done something horrendous, I was sure I had missed something. Scrivener7 Feb 2024 #58

I don't even think he got sloppy with his credit cards... Think. Again. Feb 2024 #65

Yes. If I was the expenses manager at his law firm, I'd smack him in the head. But beyond that, that's true. Scrivener7 Feb 2024 #68

I don't see anything that he did that would anger the law firm's accountant... Think. Again. Feb 2024 #70

What??? Something had me thinking it was a company card. But it's his own card??? Scrivener7 Feb 2024 #74

That's how his wife got a copy of the the statement FBaggins Feb 2024 #77

Shaking my damn head. Scrivener7 Feb 2024 #78

Yeah, it sure is confusing! calimary Feb 2024 #108

It's all extremely credible.. Think. Again. Feb 2024 #53

Actually there is a limit on how much a subordinate can give the boss. jimfields33 Feb 2024 #76

Well then it's a good thing she paid him back. Think. Again. Feb 2024 #79

Hopefully she can prove she did. jimfields33 Feb 2024 #80

Wouldn't it be up to the other attorney to prove she didn't? Think. Again. Feb 2024 #84

Good luck reassigning the case Beausoleil Feb 2024 #34

Weisman and others are saying that if Wade and Willis are less then credible JohnSJ Feb 2024 #36

That's why they should step down now Beausoleil Feb 2024 #38

I've been watching the hearing and that is not my impression at all. Jarqui Feb 2024 #40

Really? Plane fares, cruises, hotels all reimbursed in cash. JohnSJ Feb 2024 #42

Honestly, I'm trying to see this. She hired him. He paid for trips on the credit card from his Scrivener7 Feb 2024 #50

That is a very simplistic answer. cilla4progress Feb 2024 #89

It depends if it is personal money or tax payer money. Fani WIllis has just appeared, and has no JohnSJ Feb 2024 #95

Again, cilla4progress Feb 2024 #97

The defense is arguing misappropriation of funds I believe JohnSJ Feb 2024 #98

Is there a shred cilla4progress Feb 2024 #99

No idea, but Willis is testifying now so we will see JohnSJ Feb 2024 #105

no it isn't, and no it won't bigtree Feb 2024 #44

Is Weisman a "trump" cronie? This has nothing to do with trump's lawyers, it is how Wade is JohnSJ Feb 2024 #48

He is answering the questions properly obamanut2012 Feb 2024 #49

weissmann's a tv lawyer who is frequently wrong bigtree Feb 2024 #85

It's true that there is a long way to go Beausoleil Feb 2024 #55

This is what I heard earlier in the week. CousinIT Feb 2024 #57

Actually, if she didn't hire Wade, this would never have been an issue JohnSJ Feb 2024 #63

Ugh. What a boneheaded move. CousinIT Feb 2024 #66

A very bad misjudgement JohnSJ Feb 2024 #69

Looks that way. SarahD Feb 2024 #60

Hiring a boyfriend is a problem Zeitghost Feb 2024 #73

And the fix is in orangecrush Feb 2024 #61

Fanis and Wade will likely be charged Groundhawg Feb 2024 #75

Do tell. What crimes? onecaliberal Feb 2024 #102

Perjury Groundhawg Feb 2024 #114

This is not a trial. Perjury?!? SoFlaBro Feb 2024 #125

Yes perjury. Groundhawg Feb 2024 #130

Perjury has to be a lie that is material to a case and made knowingly. Do I need to grab a law dictionary? SoFlaBro Feb 2024 #133

Which was what happened. Groundhawg Feb 2024 #136

I've read it. You might want to re-read the section on materiality. SoFlaBro Feb 2024 #138

And your proof for that recon talking point? onecaliberal Feb 2024 #143

Her admitting Groundhawg Feb 2024 #144

What crimes have been committed? Be specific this time. SoFlaBro Feb 2024 #111

It was a big lapse in judgment by Willis involving over $600,000 paid to Wade's law firm. elocs Feb 2024 #81

No. 600K is what Wade was paid for work he did. No one seems to be debating whether Scrivener7 Feb 2024 #93

Why such rapid reverse resolution of this? GreenWave Feb 2024 #82

I think she wants to have an opportunity to exonerate herself. JohnSJ Feb 2024 #96

Thanks, Some folks are surrendering in this thread. GreenWave Feb 2024 #107

If she was dishonest about the relationship's timeline femmedem Feb 2024 #87

If they lied under oath about something, then that's an issue. As far as him paying for her Scrivener7 Feb 2024 #92

It could be considered a kick back Sympthsical Feb 2024 #104

In retrospect, its hard not to think about this and sadly agree. Laura PourMeADrink Feb 2024 #94

Seriously, how does an affair between consenting adults change the facts of the case against Trump? dlk Feb 2024 #101

Watch Fani testify. She is taking no shit whatsoever. rzemanfl Feb 2024 #115

I am. She just substantiated Wade's testimony including cash reimbursements JohnSJ Feb 2024 #117

Said everything being said by Ms.Merchant were lies MichMan Feb 2024 #120

Game changer now! 😀 Emile Feb 2024 #119

Yes. She just might have saved the day. JohnSJ Feb 2024 #121

What happened BlueKota Feb 2024 #123

Starting to look like they jumped to conclusions. GoodRaisin Feb 2024 #122

and she is calling trump's attorney's out on their misrepresentation JohnSJ Feb 2024 #124

Sounds like they've weaved a "Trumped" up story. What a surprise. GoodRaisin Feb 2024 #127

NO. MorbidButterflyTat Feb 2024 #126

It isn't the personal relationship they are accusing her of. They are accusing her of allegedly JohnSJ Feb 2024 #129

Oh. I see. MorbidButterflyTat Feb 2024 #132

That is what the media does JohnSJ Feb 2024 #135

Don't Wet the Bed.... DAngelo136 Feb 2024 #128
