Here are the key texts between Attorney's Ashleigh Merchant and Terrence Bradley that are at issue in the #FaniWillis disqualification battle
They show a congenial collaborative effort between the two as Merchant attempted to investigate facts about the affair
The "Chris" referenced here is Chris Campbell, a law partner of Nathan Wade
More references to #FaniWills trips with Nathan Wade
Bradley says "they took many trips to Florida"
"Why she (#FaniWillis) would hire him (Wade) is insane"
"Yep"
"Just date, don't hire him"
🚨
"Do you think it started before she hired him?"
"Absolutely"
"It started when she left the DAs Office (as an ADA to run for office) and was judge in South Fulton"
Merchant: "I'm almost done with my motion.."
Bradley: "Ok..happy hunting lol"
Merchant: "Has [Wade ever prosecuted a felony?"
Bradley: "Never in his life has he prosecuted a felony"
Bradley: "Add me to footnote 15 and how much I made"
This implies a friendly, collaborative effort to make sure the motion was as powerful and accurate as possible
M: "Anything that isn't accurate?"
B: "Looks good"
Bradley said the entire motion "looks good"
M: "How will they (Willis and Wade) react to this (the motion alleging the affair)?"
B: "they will deny it"
"Arrogance"
Bradley says the original security detail for #FaniWillis should be subpoenaed
Would they have relevant information about the beginning of the affair?
"Can you think of anyone else who can confirm (the #FaniWillis affair)?"
"Her kids, her command staff... her administrative assistant"
Re: DA's office employees who may know about the #FaniWillis affair
Bradley: "All may lie"
"Daysha knows... That's one of her besties"
Bradley: "Subpoena them all"
Merchant: "I am nervous, this is huge"
Bradley: "You are huge... You will be fine...you are one of the best lawyers I know... go be great"
Here's where Bradley helps Merchant ID Robin Yeartie
"She hired a girlfriend, like a bestie, it was her place"
Referring to the Hapeville Condo that is the subject of the cell location date issue
Yeartie testified the affair started in 2019
Merchant: "Does (#FaniWillis) know about the Sonya Allen affair?"
Bradley: "Not sure if Fani knows about him and Sonya"
M: "How did Sonya feel about Fani taking her man?"
B: "I'm not sure how she felt or feels..her and Nathan are extremely close now... it started romantic but when I left it was more brother sisterly... but occasionally they would mess around"
"I hated her pandering to the black church..."
M: "Do you think she is going to deny it?"
B: "Too many people saw their interactions"
On being subpoenaed in this matter, Bradley says "I'm ok with it"

Fulton DA #FaniWillis asks the Georgia Supreme Court to put her back on her RICO case against @realDonaldTrump and the other defendants
The GA Supreme Court does NOT have to take her appeal
She's asking the court to hear her appeal on a discretionary basis
Questions Presented:
Did the Court of Appeals err in disqualifying a district attorney, divesting her of her constitutional authority to investigate and prosecute crimes, based solely upon an appearance of impropriety and absent a finding of an actual conflict of interest or forensic misconduct?
She says the Court of Appeals got it wrong by making new precedent, as opposed to following established precedent
(Note: In fact, the Court of Appeals got it right)
Assuming arguendo that an actual conflict of interest or actual impropriety is not required to authorize disqualification, did the Court of Appeals err in substituting the trial court’s discretion with its own and becoming the first Georgia court to reverse a trial court’s order declining to disqualify a district attorney based solely upon an appearance of impropriety
The Georgia Court of Appeals has disqualified Fulton DA #FaniWillis from the RICO case against @realDonaldTrump
🚨🚨
"we reverse the trial court’s denial of the appellants’ motion to disqualify DA Willis and her office. As we conclude that the elected district attorney is wholly disqualified from this case, “the assistant district attorneys — whose only power to prosecute a case is derived from the constitutional authority of the district attorney who appointed them — have no authority to proceed"
A team of #FaniWillis prosecutors engineered an illegal ex parte meeting in the #YoungThug trial - when defense lawyer complained he was ordered to jail - illegally
@AshleighMerchan files Motion for Contempt of Court against Fulton DA #FaniWillis
"According to social media posts, as of September 17, 2024, Ms. Willis was in Los Angeles, California attending fundraising events for her re-election campaign"
"Ms. Willis is under lawful subpoena, and she has not filed a motion to quash, nor could she. She is simply flouting this Court’s lawful process, apparently intent on playing a game of chicken with the Court"
