The recently unsealed records pertaining to the divorce of Fulton County Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade do not provide evidence of an "improper, clandestine" relationship with his superior, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
But that’s Trump’s strategy in all this: his legal team is throwing anything they can against the wall to see if it sticks. They don’t need to be right, they just need to delay this all as much as they can.
It’s important, though, to acknowledge the facts as they exist.
I’m genuinely torn on this. I think, whatever the facts are, we should stop acknowledging Trump and Co.'s facts. Honestly, I’m almost at the point that if they said a meteor would crash into the world in 5 days, I wouldn’t look up because there’s a 99% chance they’re lying, telling half-truths, or otherwise trying to waste time.
My thing is, who cares if they were having an affair? I mean, how does that impact the legal case against Donald Trump? The prosecutors still have to present evidence, still have to prove their case, and it really doesn’t make a difference if they were rubbing their genitals together or not.
The wife certainly cares, and has a right to know. Marital infidelity is a real problem for the parties involved. I just don’t think that includes Trump.
The Trump lawyers’ claim is that the DA played favorites to get her boyfriend into a senior position, with a high bill rate, then he returned the favor by funneling money back to her. And that proves that the case is really about enriching the DA, and should be tossed on that basis alone. As you note, this has nothing to do with the case itself. Nor do a few plane tickets denote a kickback scheme. If she was really taking kickbacks, don’t you think she’d throw in a few gold bars or something? (That’s how they do that shit in Congress…)
If there’s anything to it, it should be an ethics investigation into the DA. Since the defense brought it up it seems prudent for the judge to ask for an explanation but what’s publically known so far doesn’t warrant anything but a finger-wave and a single “tsk”.
