COBB COUNTY, Ga. — An attorney for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has filed a motion to quash the subpoena requiring her to testify in a divorce proceeding involving a prosecutor she hired in the racketeering case against former President Donald Trump and more than a dozen others.

Attorney Ashleigh Merchant says she stands by her motion suggesting an improper relationship between Willis and one of the special prosecutors in her election interference case against former President Trump.

She told Channel 2 investigative reporter Mark Winne that she wishes a motion filed by Willis’ attorney on Thursday addressed whether or not such a relationship existed ...

Merchant made accusations without evidence and now wants a loud evidence-free metaphysical dispute about whether the accusations are true

1. an attorney making wishes on teevee is losing their case in court

They had a legal hammer taken to their head. Willis was able to show a conspiracy between Jocelyn Wade and Mike Roman to interfere with the rico case, which itself could be a criminal matter.

This is not going to end well for wade or roman.

2. Oh, jeez. I totally believe Willis, but this nonsense is doing what it is intended to do: it is taking

attention away from the election stealing case and creating a talking point that the defendant will flood the airways with when he loses that case.

6. Woopsie, Ex! Buh bye!

3. And yet, even here on DU

posters are hand-wringing and gnashing teeth that the GA prosecution was OVER.

Why, this bullshit filing from a RICO defendant was Teapot Dome, the Whiskey Rebellion, the JFK Assassination, 9/11 and the Tan Suit all rolled into one.

I would like to add an amendment to the poster that said; "anything that weakens Biden helps Donnie Dipshit". My amendment would be; "anything the helps Donnie Dipshit and the Retrumplican Party kills Democracy"...and that includes praising Elise Stefanik for a circus show house hearing.

Just Stop!

The clear and present danger is MAGA. THAT'S IT! FULL STOP!!!

I think we'll be OK to address the "affairs" of prosecutors after we save American Democracy.

4. This is obvious right wing MAGAt attempted smear

OBVIOUS.

This "Willis must recuse and the prosecution case is over," "She only has herself to blame," etc., crap is astonishing to me.

NO.

"Let's just toss the whole case because Roger Stone mini-me made up some stupid lie that has absolutely nothing to do with that criminal asshole traitor to US trying to overthrow US democracy."

NO.
