Let's straighten out the false narrative on the right.
Fani's relationship with Wade has NOTHING to do with Trump's indictment, noting that he has been indicted for his unlawful attempt to manipulate the GA Secy of State to violate Georgia law in an attempt to deny Biden's legitimate win in GA all in a greater RICO indictment/scheme to steal the 2020 election.
Nathan Wade is an highly experienced and qualified lawyer. He was hired because several other firms turned the project down.
Why did they turn it down?
I would suggest that the logical reason is because of death threats, the kind that have been levied at Willis, at Smith, at Chutkan, at Engoron. This case is a major hot potato and takes monumental COURAGE to do. These threats are directed at them for having the courage to put Trump behind bars, where he belongs, noting that Trump has been encouraging these threats, delights in them, and has done NOTHING to stop them. No wonder those other lawyers turned the offer down.
Now then......
All DAs and gov employees are paid by the government, ultimately funded by taxes.
That they spend that money, which is EARNED money, which, when earned, becomes THEIRS, is just as just as any money earned from the private sector, and, anywhere else money is earned for services rendered and are as free as any one else is to spend their earned money as they please. I say this because I've heard the characterization, 'Fani and Nathan are living high on the taxpayer dime', as if that money wasn't earned, not theirs, and stolen from a taxpayer fund. That is a false characterization and an outright lie if there ever were one.
Her pay, law firm's pay, given the high degree of skill required to be an attorney, is well paid, this is in line with pay for DAs, in general.
This idea that Fani Willis, Fulton Country DA who is paid some $200k per year, engineered a plot to indict a former US President, knowing that the spotlight of the world and the century would be burning down her back side, an indictment so historic that failure could lead to personal ruin, that she'd take such a monumental risk on the notion that she did it to hire a boyfriend in the hopes of some trickle down money and that this constitutes a 'conflict of interest' defies credulity.
Not only that, affairs of this nature between a gov lawyer and a contracted one or a co-worker are not that uncommon, as I understand it. Some argue that she shouldn't have hired Wade, which is no doubt sound advice, but frankly, I'm not seeing anything that constitutes a 'conflict of interest', which is the only point that matters.
Like so much foolishness the right engages in, they haven't really thought this one through.
Fani Willis is a force to be reckoned with, as one of the indicted, Michael Roman, and Ashleigh Merchant, his lawyer, who are the main accusers of 'conflict of interest' in a desperate attempt to get the case thrown out, will soon find out.
