The facts appear to be that you've now admitted you are in a personal, romantic relationship with one of the assistant counsels you hired and paid $650,000 from taxpayer funds.
The 127-page filing from Roman's attorney, Ashleigh Merchant, alleged the prosecutor, Nathan Wade, has a "lack of relevant experience" but has been paid approximately $650,000 in legal fees since being appointed to the role -- which the filing claims was a "self-serving arrangement." Trump's attorney said in court on Friday that they're considering joining in the complaint against Willis.
I do not care if you also hired two others, and neither should anyone else. You could have hired three others where none of them had a personal relationship with you, but that's not what you did. Implying that you're being attacked because of your -- or his -- race is stupid.
You're being properly attacked because any other person who did this would likely be considered to have stolen public funds (e.g. "honest services" fraud) and be in handcuffs right now, you'd be facing disbarment as an attorney and so would he and both of you would likely be facing criminal charges.
I do not care what he was paid in some other case, in some other place. That's irrelevant.
What's relevant is that in the context of public funds you're a custodian of same and irrespective of the other person's pedigree you do not employ your lover in an official capacity.
Never mind that this man's "highly qualified" claim by Fani in the context of a felony prosecution is in plenty of question: He appears to be a divorce and car accident lawyer, and many call attorneys who primarily practice in those areas of law "ambulance chasers."
Yes, the charges brought should be dismissed with prejudice against all defendants for this reason and you should face prosecution, as should your lover for said apparent corruption.
You didn't have to choose either to sleep with him after hiring him or to hire him while sleeping with him, whichever the case may be. That you clearly personally benefited from the funds paid to him in the form of lavish vacation trips is more than sufficient and is the precise reason that you can't do this sort of thing with a husband or wife. The order of events is irrelevant; this is equally evil and corrupt as is giving your son, daughter or husband a job in your department, an act that would draw instant sanction from anyone with a brain in their head. Indeed were you married or related at the federal level doing so is explicitly illegal under 5 USC 2302(b)(7). To try to skate on this because you're "just dating" makes your conduct even more outrageous.
Spare me the crocodile tears; as a DA you are charged with knowing and following the law both in letter and spirit, and there is zero question that what you did in this instance was not only wrong it either is or ought to be a criminal act never mind destroying the basis and integrity of the investigation.
Indeed, on MLK day.... Content of one's character eh? I think we can answer that question in your case.
When will this country realize that all the George Soros funded attorneys are shit bags? Even the dems have to see that it’s not a good look for them. This twat will be the 4th or 5th fired in just a few years. Even California voted one out in a special election.
A few legal blurbs....
-Nepotism is not technically illegal in the United States as it does not directly violate any labor law. However, if employee benefits from knowing a family or friend who is already employed by an organization, the title v11 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 may come into play.
- Nepotism is generally defined as the bestowal of patronage by public officers in appointing others to positions by reason of blood or marital relationship. Several states restrict nepotism by expressly prohibiting public officials from hiring relatives.
As I read more about it, it seems lots will hinge on the fact that they are not married, so they do not have a legal relationship. Might not stick, (badda bing badda boom)....
