Defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant has latched onto Fani Willis over corruption and conflict of interest tighter than a pit bull gripping a T-bone steak in it’s mouth. But, then again she has so much to latch onto with more coming out each and every day. We first learned that Fani Willis was having an affair with Nathan Wade before we found out that they had a sexual relationship before Nathan Wade was hired as a special prosecutor.
Then we learn that Wade is a personal injury attorney with no experience in RICO cases and yet he was paid $250 an hour compared to the $150 an hour RICO expert John Floyd. Floyd later had his pay increased to $200 dollars an hour. Willis should never have hired outside counsels. She should have just hired a couple of new assistant DA’s who make $175,000 dollars a year. Wade has already been paid $654,000. Willis benefitted from the high salary that Wade made as the pair took romantic vacations together.
The latest revelation was that Willis allegedly met with Kamala Harris before indicting Trump. This is now being denied. Willis was asked if she had ever visited Washington DC. She said she went there twice but never went to the White House. She claimed she went there for an interview with Howard University and for the Global Summit. She did not mention going there for a Black History event. Guess where it was held at. The White House.
Willis’s office denies that Harris and Willis met that day, but if that i9s true, why did Willis have to lie and say she has never been to the White House? And it was such an easy lie to disprove to boot. She did the same thing when asked why she would have so much cash on hand. That was when she stupidly admitted that some of that money was campaign contributions she kept, which of course is illegal.
Merchant appeared reluctant to explicitly accuse Willis and Wade of conspiring with the Biden administration to kneecap the Republican front-runner.

The Democratic DA then hired Wade in a manner such that she could allegedly dodge oversight and pay him more than the other much more experienced prosecutors.
Whereas Wade, previously a middling associate municipal court judge in Marietta, reportedly entered into a contract with Willis’ office on Nov. 1, 2021, at a rate of $250 per hour, John Floyd, one of Georgia’s top experts on federal and state Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations statutes, entered into a contract on March 10 of that year at a rate of $150 per hour.
Republican lawmakers also puzzled over why the Democratic DA needed to hire special prosecutors in the first place.
“Why wouldn’t you just hire more assistant DAs and have them in-house?” asked Cowsert.
According to Merchant, Willis would have run afoul of nepotism rules if she hired Wade. Additionally, as a special prosecutor, Wade stood to make far more money than an assistant DA, whose pay rate is set by statute. Whereas assistant DAs make roughly $175,000 per year, Wade has cleared substantially more.
The Washington Times reported that the Georgia Senate’s special committee has alluded to the presence of whistleblowers in Willis’ office who are willing to spill the beans.
