More than two years later, questions are surfacing about Wade’s role. One of Trump’s co-defendants facing criminal charges over efforts to overturn the 2020 election has alleged in court papers that Wade is romantically involved with Willis and used money he billed the district attorney’s office for his work on the case to take her on lavish vacations.

While the filing didn’t include direct evidence of their romantic involvement, Willis was served this week with a subpoena to appear at a deposition in Wade’s divorce proceedings.

You’re right. There’s nothing.

The situation has created a political firestorm for Willis, with Trump and his co-defendant arguing Wade, Willis and the entire district attorney’s office should be taken off the case. The allegations, if true, may not derail the prosecution, but multiple lawyers tell CNN that the appearance of a conflict of interest could hurt Willis’ chances of securing a conviction before a jury.

Why “multiple lawyers” would that be true? This might be a case of cronyism or inappropriate relations with a subordinate, but that has no bearing on the case. If anything it’s an accusation there could have been a more competent prosecutor chosen.

Mr Lahey?

Since Wade was given this case without ever having worked a RICO case before, they’ve probably been waiting to pull the trigger. This was probably the spark for it:

There is at least enough specificity in the allegations that they should be easy enough to prove. Did they go on a vacation together, or not? The divorce proceedings either have the receipts, or they don’t.
