This week we found out, via charges filed by Mike Roman, Donald Trump’s co-defendant in the ludicrous “racketeering” case against Trump and 18 of his associates in Atlanta, that…
…Fulton County, GA (read that as Atlanta) DA fani willis, who is running this farce, hired a Special Prosecutor, nathan wade, to investigate Donald Trump. Wade, who has virtually no direct experience in the area that he would be investigating, has been paid a whopping $654,000 in legal fees for his efforts. And, during this time wade – who is in the middle of contentious divorce battle in which his wife claims he is stiffing her financially – took willis on several vacations to places like California, Florida and the Caribbean.
Catch the aroma?
Atlanta Judge Scott McAfee, who is presiding over the willis case, seems to. He has announced that he intends to hold hearings on the matter in “early February” – in other words, within the month.
For her part, willis, apart from claiming the charges against her are racial (yawn, what else is new?) claims that she has three special prosecutors working on the case, all being paid the same amount. But that has turned out to be untrue, both in number of hours and hourly compensation.
From Rebecca Downs’ article for townhall.com, we have this:
“I appointed three special counsels, as is my right to do, paid them all the same hourly rate,” Willis claimed on Sunday. However, according to documents obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation, Floyd, who is an expert on RICO cases, was paid less.
The Washington Post touched upon the possible ramifications, noting that “Willis has declined to directly address the explosive accusations. McAfee’s order appears to be forcing her to do so in televised court proceedings, a development that could at the least be embarrassing for the district attorney and at worst derail the investigation completely.”
The report also noted that the “hearing is slated to occur after a scheduled Jan. 31 hearing in Cobb County Superior Court over a motion to unseal records in Wade’s divorce case. [Roman attorney Ashleigh] Merchant has said she believes records in that case will substantiate her allegations of wrongdoing by Willis and Wade.”
How ironic would it be that, as a direct consequence of fani willis going after Donald Trump on an absurd claim that because he asked his people to find some of the votes he thought were stolen from him he was engaged in “racketeering” of some form, it is she who gets nailed instead?
I’m no fan of Donald Trump’s. But I have to say that, if that happened, it wouldn’t trouble me a bit.
