50. I think some folks might have forgotten that this is the Trump defense team with an unproven attack

...which shouldn't have gotten a hearing without some showing of evidence in their filing for what they alleged.

The judge allowed Trump's lawers to muddy up Fani Willis over something they had no evidence of, supposing he was helping something by allowing them to perform that sham questioning in front of the court.

He led the defense all the way through, instead of just letting them present what they had and so be it. He couldn't decide any objection without giving the trump lawyers a chance to 'explain' their inanities, and often ended up with a garble that caused him to move on.

There should NOT have been questions about sex in a court deciding Trump's election fraud of the woman whose prosecuting him. There was zero evidence from the start of any wrongdoing, and none of the talk about intercourse had any relevance after she testified no payment was made to her and that she paid her own way.

That was the only thing relevant to the accusations and the sex was salacious enough to leave out. It tells us nothing and THAT was unnecessarily humiliating and damagind; not the actual affair, which wasn't illegal, unethical, or improper.

Wade was there under independent contract. He doesn't work under her. He's not her employee. Wade works WITH Fani Willis. He makes almost $300k a year.

She did nothing wrong, nothing to draw these bullshit charges by seeking companionship with this man.
