of impropriety is an issue. And it is. She should have known better. As bright as she is, she had a blind spot when it came to what it would look like if she didn't say anything up front about the relationship.

Yes, it was private. But privacy between two people trying the case does not make for an appearance of propriety. How she could not have known that someone so evil as Trump would bring it up is beyond me. She is lucky to have that ethical judge and not Judge Cannon.

She paid because, as Wonder Why said, she didn't think that Donny's evil would reach her. Donny is saturated with evil. He is consumed by it. Fani didn't see it coming. Her mistake. She took the hit. I expect that, from this point forward, she will be focused like never before. She'll make Donny feel the pain, and Donny will end up wishing he should have kept his mouth shut.

excellent in her job. I can't understand why they think that they can interfere w/ a prosecutor's job. Their job is, after all, when someone commits a crime, to gather the evidence, prosecute them in a trial, and if successful, sentence them. That is going after justice after all.

that would have constituted an ethics violation.

They were hoping that intense slut shaming would get her to burst into tears and quit her job.

They miscalculated badly. I hope it costs them. Even a relative slap on the wrist of 6 months in a GA state pen will go a long way toward breaking him to the point he starts making a lot of obvious mistakes.

No, this was not "all they've done" - they've delayed the trial by 2 months while this section of farce played out, and they've got the resignation of her deputy, which will slow things down more, as the replacement comes up to speed.

I mean, this isn't "half-glass full" stuff, it's "I love getting half a glass of foam rather than beer, it's more refreshing!!!".

If you have read any of his post, he is pretty much spot on and knowledgeable. He was having some fun tonight as you can see from the stilettos gif.

Of course she is angry, we all are at the delay. I am pretty sure she prepared for this and will be moving forward on this without delay. My guess is she already planned for a replacement for Wade and he/she is up to speed.

Something is seriously wrong with a judicial system in which DA Fani Willis is criticized for the "appearance of impropriety" and a "lapse of judgment"...

...while Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is allowed to keep his seat, despite the "appearance of impropriety" in accepting possibly millions in gifts from billionaires, without recusing himself.

Isn't it a "lapse of judgement" for Thomas to opine on January 6th cases, while his own wife attempted to overturn the 2020 election?
