My phone has been buzzing quite a lot thanks to the frenzied anticipation: What’s going to happen to Fani?
That would be Fani Willis, of course, the Fulton County district attorney who indicted former president Donald Trump and what seems like a cast of thousands (but is actually 18 other defendants) on, yes, racketeering and 40 other charges in the sprawling Georgia 2020 election-interference case. Today is the deadline Judge Scott McAfee set for himself to rule on the defendants’ motion to disqualify Willis and Nathan Wade — her star-crossed lover and, not coincidentally, the special prosecutor she hired, despite his lack of relevant experience and an alleged lack of required county approval. The Trump case promised to be long-term and lucrative thanks to the blunderbuss way she indicted it. The pair went on various vacations that Wade paid for — though Willis swears she paid him back with the cash that any district attorney would keep stashed around her house (and is why, we’re told, neither of these experienced lawyers has records of the transactions). Acquaintances say the affair has been going on for years; Willis and Wade claim it started only after he’d been hired.
