“MOMMY!!!!!!”

'Very strange': Expert baffled by Trump team's tactics in Fani Willis hearing https://t.co/0Aj7740Qdu

 Let’s start here:

“It's very strange to me why none of the testimony either on the first day of the hearing or this day today of the hearing focused on a financial conflict of interest and things like, 'How did you decide to hire him?' 'What was the process?' Was he vetted?' 'Who discussed the amount of money you are going to pay him when he submitted his hourly invoices?' 'Was somebody looking at those invoices and was their quality controls in place?' Or whatever it was?" said Agnifilo. 

"There could have been a whole line of questioning that established a potential financial conflict of interest, regardless of when a relationship started between Fani Willis and Nathan Wade."

Needless to say, there was none of that. Probably because Ashleigh Merchant, the lawyer who tried to make this turkey fly, knew she couldn’t prove that. She always claimed her evidence came from the Wade divorce proceedings before they were sealed. When those proceedings were unsealed, inconveniently, she found herself playing Geraldo Rivera in Al Capone’s vault. She then proceeded with what she’d planned to do the whole time: smear Willis. That went to shit in court yesterday when her star witness disavowed any knowledge of his own allegations, such as they ever were.

So what’s this, then?

The fact that Fani Willis and 'Lover' Wade unquestionably started their relationship BEFORE the beginning of their FAKE case that was brought against me and many others, would unequivocally mean, according to virtually all legal experts and scholars, THAT THIS CASE IS OVER!"

That’s the cry of a frightened child hiding under the covers, trying to wish the monsters away. The only thing missing is: “MOMMY!!!!!!”

But it’s implied.

The relationship between Willis and Wade has nothing to do with the findings of two grand juries. At best, there was a question of their veracity in this hearing. The assumption/expectation that either lawyer would be dumb enough to lie in this hearing was always ridiculous and insulting. In the end, Ashleigh Merchant brought this hearing on very weak grounds that ended up making her look worse than her star witness (who was pretty bad on the stand). Merchant took a shred of something she thought was evidence (it was just “speculation”) and tried to MacGyver it into an escape plan for her client. But reality refused to write that script.

She really should have known better. And Trump? Trump just doesn’t know anything. I’m not sure the man is competent to handle his own affairs.
