Judge in Georgia Trump election case says while he couldn't "conclusively establish" when Willis' relationship with prosecutor turned romantic, "an odor of mendacity remains."

Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor working with the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, resigned his post after a judge ruled Friday that District Attorney Fani Willis and her office may remain on the 2020 election case involving former President Donald Trump and his allies if Wade stepped aside.

Wade’s resignation as special prosecutor came hours after Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee laid out two options that would allow for the continued prosecution of the racketeering case against Trump and his co-defendants stemming from an alleged scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.

      I mean, you look at the three prosecutors on the case:

      One guy got over $600,000 compared to $73k and 80k. Yeah, not a good look.

          Well, when you have three prosecutors assigned to the same case, and the one sleeping with the boss is making 10x what the other two are? That’s going to raise eyebrows.

          What happens on OTHER cases isn’t really relevant, the disparity on THIS case is what people are looking at.
