Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor working with the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, resigned his post after a judge ruled Friday that District Attorney Fani Willis and her office may remain on the 2020 election case involving former President Donald Trump and his allies if Wade stepped aside.
Wade’s resignation as special prosecutor came hours after Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee laid out two options that would allow for the continued prosecution of the racketeering case against Trump and his co-defendants stemming from an alleged scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.
This case was kind of bonkers. They’re both lawyers, so they knew the ethical risks of an employer banging their employee.
They are leading a case that is super important to the nation, and they put it all at risk. Even if this was innocent, why on earth would do this if you knew the risks better than most?
for the record the romantic aspect of the relationship ended before Trump was indicted.
It’s still wrong, and it’s still recent enough to justify termination- or it would be for any corporation I’ve ever worked for. It’s unfortunate, but there’s reasons to be hard asses about it.
I didn’t know that. Thanks for adding that clarification!
Ehh sorta “She acknowledged the existence of a romantic relationship, but she said that it began in 2022, after Mr. Wade began working for the district attorney’s office, and that the physical element of the relationship ended before the indictment was handed up in August.”
