Either way Trump loses the case. Let’s move on, I don’t care who prosecutes this case, just win it.
Split babies??
I am completely fine with this solution.
Get on with it and let’s move on.
In the interest of justice, Willis and Wade need to do the right thing and separate Wade from the case. They are far enough along that she can try the case from her office. She still has the RICO Guru on her team who is her MVP. Go get ‘em, Fani - now it’s personal.
Appearance of impropriety is not the legal standard. Bad call.
In a way…yes. The “defendant” is a private entity with private attorneys. No public money involved. The prosecution is publicly funded and that comes with rules and standards that do not apply to the private side.
At the same time, it solves the problem and PROBABLY won’t affect the case.
Nothing in the justice system appears to be working as designed, but the case goes on with her lead.
He can loudly resign and bash the judges opinion for the nonsense that it is.
How can we get you on the case? You have been on the mark so far.
This seems like the stupidist ruling -
This isn’t a game where a violation is judged by the referee … so one player gets put in the penalty box or tossed from the game!
This smells like some lame attempt at “wisdom of Solomon” ruling.
I like Belize.
She “played around in the office” meaning dated slept with and took vacation trips with her employee
That is not exactly proper behavior… especially when dealing with a very high profile prosecution of a guy who used to be president.
We found Costa Rica quite nice
You don’t screw the guys you hire.
Yes, and that’s how it should work. When the government comes after you in a criminal trial, the power gradient is all on the government’s side. It has the power to throw you in jail if a jury agrees, and even before then it can mess up your life in forcing you to defend yourself.
So it doesn’t matter what you do in your private life as a citizen, as long as you’re not breaking any laws. But ideally, we don’t want even a hint of impropriety for those who enforce the law. Because they have power over you.
Except if you’re a white man. You guys are hilarious.
Romantic relationships with co-workers is just not a good idea. It doesn’t matter if you’re a man or woman. If you don’t do it, this kinda stuff doesn’t happen.
Emphasis on “guys.”
And now the Trumpies will complain that Fani Willis has animosity against the defendants because she had to fire her boyfriend.
