And for trollboy to
chew on and post his ubiquitous excuses.
But as we all know, only Trump does bad things, so this can't possibly be true.
Much more in the AJC I'm told, trollboy. I don't get that rag, but I have seen their story elsewhere. And it has surprised many of us Ultra-MAGA deplorable types that the AJC would even mention it. Is the tide starting to turn? Are they distancing themselves from her?
The attorney for Mike Roman, one of the other defendants in the Trump case, filed a motion to dismiss the indictment against him, and disqualify DA Willis, her office and the special prosecutor in the case Nathan Wade. Willis hired Wade, a respected Atlanta attorney and part-time judge. He was paid $250 an hour with a monthly cap on hours, that supposedly came to over $500,000 over many months of work. I'd venture that Bob##### firm charges more than $250 an hour for its services. And that money would have gone to the firm, not Wade personally (although I'm sure he got a good chunk of it). Roman alleges that Willis and Wade had a romantic relationship when she hired him and that since then, they have gone on Caribbean cruises and trips to California wine country together, presumably paid for out of what Fulton County is paying Wade.
There is no documentation of these charges. Roman's attorney says: "Upon information and belief, and based on discussions with individuals with knowledge, Willis and Wade were romantically involved..." " undersigned counsel has learned that Willis and Wade have traveled personally together to such places as Napa Valley, California, Florida and the Caribbean..." "In addition, the district attorney and the special prosecutor have been seen in private together (in a personal relationship capacity) in and about the Atlanta area and believed to have co-habited in some form or fashion at a location that neither of them owned. Sources close to both the special prosecutor and the district attorney have confirmed Willis and Wade had an ongoing, personal and romantic relationship during the pendency of Wade’s divorce proceedings."
Some of the supposed proof for these allegations is contained in Wade's divorce file, which is sealed. However, Roman's attorney says she saw the record before it was sealed and obtained certain documents she wants to make public if and when the divorce case is unsealed.
So, all this is based on claims by unnamed individuals and sealed documents in a divorce case. And the only defendant who picked up this information was one of the bottom tier defendants. This fails the most obvious smell test. Fani Willis is a highly visible public official. If she went with her assistant on wine country vacations and Caribbean cruises, word would have been all over the place in Atlanta before now. Willis has already had to deal with rumors that she had an affair with a gang member. If these "sources" existed, why didn't they go first to Trump's attorneys and the other high-power defendants rather than a bottom-of-the-barrel defendant.
I'm willing to wait to see where this goes. Roman's attorney will have to back up her claims with more than "unnamed sources" for the motion to have any kind of chance.
