"WILLIS GAVE STATEMENTS AND ALLOWED CASE ACCESS TO THE AUTHORS OF A NOW-PUBLISHED BOOK IN AN EFFORT TO ENHANCE HER OWN PUBLIC IMAGE AND TO PREJUDICE MR. ROMAN AND POISON THE JURY POOL"
"Before Willis made the decision to run for district attorney against Paul Howard, she was worried that if she lost she would end up in financial straits again. She told the authors of The Book that she was thinking, “I really don’t want to be financially effed up again"
Roman alleges Fulton DA #FaniWillis engaged in a purposeful PR campaign designed to "Inflate her Public Perception"
"A concerted and calculated plan to boost her personal image and create animus toward" the defendants
"the ethical rules are instructive about Willis’ knowledge as to what conduct could constitute a conflict of interest. For instance, the State did not address that Fulton County requires that “public service not be used for private gain”
"Willis violated these ethical rules by Wade with whom she had an undisclosed romantic relationship, paying Wade hundreds of thousands of dollars in county funds and accepting gifts from him which she did not disclose to the County. Based on the foregoing rules, Willis should have known that her actions would violate Fulton County’s ethical rules, and Willis should have known that her ethical violations would lead to an irreparable conflict of interest. Accordingly, she and Wade must be disqualified from further prosecuting this matter"
"In November of last year, Willis stated, “If I were to comment on any open case, it would be a reason to conflict my office out. Despite making numerous comments to the media and in The Book about this “open case”, Willis, unsurprisingly, still has not conceded that her office should be conflicted out"
Y'all can do the math, but Roman offers proof of a additional tax money in excess of $100,000 paid to Wade by Fulton DA's office
For those who are asking, a lawyer "shall not knowingly make a false statement of material fact" to a court
The maximum penalty is disbarment
Roman's lawyer ends her supplemental reply to Fulton DA #FaniWillis with this ideal:
“The administration of the law, and especially that of the criminal law, should, like Caesar’s wife, be above suspicion, and should be free from all temptation, bias or prejudice, so far as it is possible for our courts to accomplish it.” Davenport v. State, 157 Ga. App. 1981
Roman says Fulton DA #FaniWillis has violated legal ethics and his due process rights by weaponizing the media
“Over the past several years, the district attorney has (used) the media to turn the screws on each of the defendants long before any trial juror was called to serve. These media appearances by a publicly-elected prosecutor are incredibly improper, but more importantly, they were designed to tear down the defendants’ pre-trial constitutional protections..This case should be, and could have been, tried on the evidence admitted at trial. Because of the actions of the district attorney, however, that is no longer possible. The damage is already done.”
Trump Co-Defendant David Shafer formally moves to recuse Fulton DA #FaniWillis
He quotes DA Willis at the beginning:
"If I were to comment on any open case, it would be a reason to conflict my office out"
"1. District Attorney Willis began a romantic relationship with attorney Nathan Wade prior to hiring Mr. Wade as a special assistant district attorney, under a limited contract with a cap on the amount he could charge the County, on or about November 1, 2021. The next day, Mr. Wade filed for divorce from his wife;
2. In March of 2022, District Attorney Willis and Mr. Wade modified the initial professional services agreement;
3. During this time, District Attorney Willis and Mr. Wade continued their personal, romantic relationship;
4. On or about November 15, 2022, District Attorney Willis and Mr. Wade signed an extension of the professional services agreement through May 15, 2023;
and
5. District Attorney Willis and Mr. Wade continued their personal, romantic relationship before and after the November 15, 2022, extension of Mr. Wade’s
contract"
Shafer says Willis playing the "race card" was improper:
"the District Attorney chose a church setting to deflect the Roman allegations by making the most offensive and incendiary allegations against her accusers—forcing the defendants onto the lethal third rail of American politics, and in her own words, “playing the race card.
The obvious intent of her remarks was to inject and infect the jury pool in Fulton County with unfounded allegations that anyone who dares question her or Mr. Wade’s conduct must have done so for racist purposes"
Attorney for Trump Co-Defendant Michael Roman sues Fulton DA #FaniWillis over alleged failure to comply with Open Records law
"DA is in clear violation of the Act, appears to be
intentionally withholding information in advance of scheduled evidentiary hearings"
The Open Records law exists:
" so that the public can evaluate the expenditure of public funds and the efficient and proper functioning of its institutions. The General Assembly further finds and declares that there is a strong presumption that public records should be made available for public inspection without delay. This article shall be broadly construed to allow the inspection of governmental records"
It appears Ms Merchant is probing the manner in which #FaniWillis used public money, including any federal grants, in an effort to uncover any misuse or hiding of expenditures which would indicate improper bias and abuse of prosecutorial discretion
The wife of Fulton DA #FaniWillis alleged paramour, has filed a response to Willis' motion to quash her subpoena
It references travel to:
"..San Francisco and Napa..Florida and even Caribbean cruises, enjoyed a trip to Belize, another to Panama and even just last month to Australia..Willis was an intended travel partner for at least some of these trips as indicated by flights he purchased for her..."
"Plaintiff did not reveal to Defendant his appointment by Ms. Willis or the substantial income he has been receiving throughout this divorce case as a result of that appointment, and Defendant did not discover the same until much later in the proceedings. Plaintiff also left Defendant with little means of financial support while simultaneously spending tens of thousands of dollars per month on a very lavish lifestyle. Plaintiff willfully failed to comply with his discovery obligations in the very divorce case that he initiated, which led to the Court holding him contempt of this Court's Order on Defendant's Motion to Compel Discovery"
"On December 22, 2023, Plaintiff only produced a portion of his outstanding required discovery responses. In these responses were credit card statements which demonstrated that Plaintiff had paid for and taken trips unrelated to his work with the Fulton County District Attorney's office. Since Plaintiff filed for divorce, he has taken trips to San Francisco and Napa Valley, to Florida and even gone on Caribbean cruises, enjoyed a trip to Belize, another to the country of Panama and even just last month took a trip to Australia. The evidence si clear that Ms. Willis was an intended travel partner for at least some of these trips as indicated by flights he purchased for her to accompany him. [True and accurate copies of credit card statements showing purchase of plane tickets for Plaintiff and Ms. Willis are attached hereto as composite Exhibit A"
BOMBSHELL: Filing alleges improper relationship between Fulton DA, top Trump prosecutor
“improper clandestine personal relationship which has resulted in the district attorney profiting significantly from this prosecution at the expense of the taxpayers" ajc.com/politics/break…
"the district attorney and the special prosecutor have violated laws regulating the use of public monies, suffer from irreparable conflicts of interest, and have violated their oaths of office under the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct and should be disqualified from prosecuting this matter"
"the elected district attorney for the largest district attorney’s office in the State of Georgia has used the instant prosecution to pay her partner a large sum of money that was originally allotted to clear the backlog of cases in Fulton County following the Covid pandemic"
BREAKING: Green v. Alachua County. #MaskMandates are "presumptively unconstitutional" under Florida law
Here’s a link to the entire opinion. The bottom line, any mask mandate must serve a compelling state interest and be narrowly tailored to serve that need. To meet this standard, strong evidence that #masks are effective would need to be presented.
