  1. It was certainly enough for the defense to get a judge to hear their argument (as has already happened). And as you have noted, once the string is pulled, chances to perjure yourself, access to more evidence, conflicting statements under oath, more embarrassing discovery, more subpoenas, etc… is not good for the DA and SP. The longer the judge allows them to be the persecutors on this case, the deeper the defense will dig. Based on what has been discovered so far, I doubt it gets better for Willis/Wade.
  2. Willis hired her boyfriend (relationship started before willis hired Wade) to be special prosecutor. Wade is paid with taxpayer money. Wade, using his business account, took Willis on several trips (Aruba, Bahamas, Napa). Wade claims he was paid back in cash, but has no records and did not report on his business taxes that these were personal or reimbursed business expenses. This, he used his earnings from the job Willis gave him to take her on multiple trips.
  3. Lawrence Julius Taylor Jr., 33, of Powder Springs, entered a guilty plea the day his trial was to begin. It doesn’t say anywhere in the Article who Taylor’s lawyer was, but I’m assuming you think it’s Wade? He didn’t even see the inside of a courtroom on this case, no?
  4. Are we ignoring the witnesses (former DA employee and former law partner) testimony that the relationship began before Wade was hired as SP? Are we ignoring Wade’s divorce case interrogatories claiming he has not entertained opposite sex up to present? There is plenty of evidence. You just don’t want to acknowledge it.
  5. Dekalb or Clayton Counties will 100% bring this case if Fulton is disqualified. Spare me the venue shopping or geography lesson.
  6. Full of shit? Go to the 14 min mark of that video. Any county, any DA can bring this case.
  7. He was VERY clear that another county or another DA could bring this case to trial. He said it verbatim.
  8. He handles traffic tickets, dog bites, and real estate contracts his entire career. Preparing and qualifying him to be the special prosecutor in a felony RICO case against a former President and current Presidential candidate? Really?
  9. No. Read up thread. Someone said Wade was highly qualified to be the special prosecutor. I’m showing his lack of experience.
  10. From NCJA.Org In the fall of 2021, Nathan Wade had little experience prosecuting criminal cases in the Atlanta area, serving as a municipal judge who mostly dealt with traffic tickets and running a private practice that focuses on family law and contract disputes. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis chose him to lead the biggest case of her career, a two-and-a-half year investigation charged former president Trump and more than a dozen co-defendants with illegally conspiring to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia. Willis’s decision to hire Wade is now facing scrutiny after a Trump co-defendant alleged that the two prosecutors are lovers who have vacationed together on Wade’s dime in Napa Valley and the Caribbean. The accusation could present a conflict of interest or could amount to fraud, reports the Washington Post.
  11. From Washington Post: Originally from Texas, Wade moved more than 20 years ago to attend Atlanta’s John Marshall School of Law. He stayed in the area after graduation, beginning his legal career as a prosecutor for the Cobb County solicitor general, which handles traffic tickets and other misdemeanor cases, according to a campaign biography. He then worked as a prosecutor for “several municipalities” in Cobb County before transitioning to private practice, where he primarily handled family law, contract and civil litigation cases
  12. From Forbes: Since his hiring, however, Wade has faced accusations that his experience did not qualify him for the lead prosecutor position in the Trump case, with Trump co-defendant Michael Roman arguing in a lawsuit against Willis that Wade’s “lack of experience” does not meet Fulton County standards “given the complexity of the charges.” Before joining the prosecution in Fulton County, Wade worked as a prosecutor and later as a judge in suburban Cobb County handling low-level criminal cases, the New York Times reported, citing “scant evidence” of his record prosecuting major cases and no evidence of his work on a major political corruption case similar to the one Trump faces in Georgia. Wade’s record as a prosecutor primarily involves criminal defense and personal injury cases, multiple outlets reported, while his law firm, Wade & Campbell, lauds him as a “zealous advocate” with experience representing clients after major car accidents and contract disputes. Wade, who graduated from John Marshall Law School in Chicago (now part of the University of Illinois at Chicago), has also served as an assistant county solicitor—a position that handles misdemeanor cases—and ran unsuccessfully on three occasions for a seat on the bench of the Cobb County Superior Court between 2012 and 2016.
  13. Can you cite a case? The AJC was not able to find a felony case has been involved in. Misdemeanor? Yes. Civil? Yes. Felony? No.
  14. He is a personal injury lawyer now in private practice. Previously: A graduate of John Marshall law school, Wade served as an assistant solicitor for Cobb County in 1999. The solicitor general’s office handles misdemeanor cases. John Marshall Law school is one of the better online law schools in the US.
  15. Look up thread. I posted an article from the Atlanta newspaper. His first felony trial ever, if he isn’t removed, will be against a former President.
  16. You realize he has never tried a felony case in his career. Ever.
  17. Wait until they subpoena the actual 12,000 text messages. Just the threat of that should be enough for Willis and Wade to cry uncle. I’d imagine those will be far from perfect.
  18. It has exposed what Willis and Wade are willing to do in court. And if they are willing to lie under oath in this case after being embarrassed by their own actions, they shouldn’t be trying the case. Lots of others that can bring the case to the court.
  19. Yes. And it will get litigated. But not by Willis and Wade.
  20. You don’t think lying to the court, under oath, by the DA and Special Prosecutor is a big deal? Is Perjury not a felony in Georgia?
  21. How is anyone expected to get a fair trial when both the DA and Special Prosecutor lie under oath in the process? At this point, is there any doubt they lied to the court? Other people can bring the charges and try the case against Trump, but if these two will lie to the court over an affair, why would do you think they be truthful on everything else?
  22. The Disch was as dead as I have ever seen it this weekend.
  23. I’m assuming there is at least 1 other attorney in Georgia that has prosecuted a felony case.
  24. According to her testimony it was at least before they went on the trips. He continues to be the special prosecutor today.
