Georgia DA going after Trump: subpoenaed in another case she may not have anticipated

Fani Willis, Georgia's Fulton County District Attorney, has now been subpoenaed in the divorce case of her paramour, Nathan Wade, the man with whom she is not only sharing a bed, but has selected him to be the special prosecutor against former President Donald J. Trump. So she is not merely sharing a bed with Wade, but is also sharing some of the financial benefits he has received as payment in the case.

Willis is the top cheese in a RICO case against Trump and several of his top associates for alleged election interference. However, it isn't looking too kosher for Willis now that her relationship with Wade has come out from under the rock that they've been hiding it. 

Had Willis not benefitted from hiring Wade in the Trump case it would not have looked so sleazy, aside from the affair. The loving couple allegedly took extravagant vacations together with the money Wade's firm was paid working on the RICO case. Records show that Wade received about $654,000 in legal fees, which either Willis or Wade had to authorize.

The Wall Street Journal reported that on Monday, Willis' office received a subpoena requesting she testify in the Wade divorce case between him and his wife, Joycelyn. Divorce was initially file in November 2021.

The subpoena was reportedly delivered by a process server a mere few hours before former Trump campaign official Michael Roman, a co-defendant in the RICO case, filed a motion alleging misconduct by Willis and Wade, in part for their “improper, clandestine personal relationship during the pendency of this case.”

Roman’s lawyer Ashleigh Merchant suggested Willis’ hiring of Wade was never approved by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, as required. Merchant said she reviewed the minutes of every meeting the board held from the time Willis took office, but found no record of Wade’s contract being discussed, the Journal report noted.

Roman’s motion cites sources close to both the special prosecutor and the district attorney who say the pair are in an ongoing romantic relationship and calls for the disqualification of Willis, her office, and Wade from the Trump case.

Former DeKalb County District Attorney Bob Wilson told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that DAs in high-profile cases like this one must be extremely careful with their actions, though he refused to comment directly on the allegations facing Willis to avoid being canceled.

“Everything you do must be done according to the law,” he told the paper. “Everyone who works on a case like this must conduct themselves at the highest professional level. Otherwise, you can become the issue and that can derail your case.”

Appointing Wade to handle the RICO case was a stupid move when Willis has several attorneys in her office who could have easily handled the case but with whom she was not sharing a bed. And Wade, the father of two, is not even qualified to handle this case as he never actually prosecuted a felony RICO case before.

Boys and girls, can you say "Peter Strzok and Lisa Page?"
