"Terrence Bradley, Nathan Wade’s former law partner and divorce lawyer, is claiming something quite extraordinary in court this afternoon..."

".... that he has no direct knowledge of when Wade’s relationship with Fani T. Willis began. Since he was the primary source for the defense lawyer seeking to remove Willis from the case, the key question going forward will be whether Judge Scott McAfee believes him. But if he doesn’t, that could cut two ways. If Bradley is an unreliable witness, then his prior statements claiming knowledge that the romance began before Willis hired Wade could be seen as just as unreliable as what he is saying in court today. Remember, the burden is on the defense to prove that Willis faced a conflict of interest when she hired Wade because they were already dating. And it’s also their burden to prove that either Willis or Wade lied on the stand two weeks ago."

Dershowitz, who for some reason is interested in this, doesn't believe any of them. He wants everybody in jail and disbarred.

No conflict of interest is a white standard, seriously.

And Coleridge wrote, in one of his decades of op-eds, that a conflict of interest is the pulley on which good character is hoist into public view.

You can see how that happened here.

Democrats are slime - above the law money grubbing slime.

Yancey Ward said...

Everybody knows Willis and Wade, and now Bradley, are lying through their teeth. Of course, the judge is all but certain going to pretend he believes all these lies, or is going to pretend he can't determine anything. You literally have these lawyers on the stand committing open perjury, and doing it shamelessly.

Big Mike said...

Who paid him? And how much?

RideSpaceMountain said...

This is actually more interesting in ways then Darrel Brooks Jr's trial. The only thing missing is some of that Lanta Slang.

Fani, if you read this, please inform members of your and Nathan's team to make more use of colloquials like jection, grounz, yonnah, nah shtandhin', and leedun da witnuss!

The comedy gold would be better than Pesci's yutes. Instant classic to be played for decades hereafter in frat houses cross da nashun'.

Birches said...

Oh brother. It doesn't matter what he says, the cellphone data shows booty calls. I swear the wapo thinks we're all idiots.

William said...

The evidence against Fani & Co. is pretty compelling, and it will not disappear if the judge disallows it. If Fani and her case is allowed to grow and prosper after all this, it will further subvert our justice system and lend credibility to conspiracy theorists.....What are the odds that a system that functions like this is also a system that can manufacture a few thousand votes if needed?

Leland said...

I think the defense has proven conflict of interest. Wade admitted purchasing the trips he and Willis went on together. Willis counter claim is Wade was actually reimbursed and therefore it was not gifts. Willis has no proof to support her claim, only her word as a DA. The rest of the discussion is judging the credibility of her word. If Willis or Wade could prove the reimbursement, then the issue of conflict of interest would be over. They cannot do it.

boatbuilder said...

Sure. Doesn't remember. Hasn't even thought very hard about it. Not like it's a major focus of public interest in the area, or anything.

Isn't it still a conflict if you take Fani to Napa after the appointment?

Ampersand said...

The WaPo coverage is comically biased. And Bradley perjures himself with exceptional gusto.
I guess this is the legal system we've got. And we should respect it. But why?

RideSpaceMountain said...

I love how African-Americans say this country "disrespects their cutlure". Lol. This farce of a spectacle disrespects my culture.

Do us a favor and kindly return to your legal ways of deciding disputes by single combat to the death with Iklwa and Assegai in a cattle krall to the rhythmic shouting and applause of Cetswayo's Impis. The winner gets 5 head of cattle and a new bride I hear. Most generous. I hear that's equivalent to a Juris Doctoris over there, but the credits won't tranfer to Ann Arbor. You have to win 5 more fights to the death to get those kinds of credit hours!

MikeD said...

Clinton & Comey student testifies! FBI Director James Comey claimed he “can’t remember,” “can’t recall” and “doesn’t know” — 245 times — when asked key questions involving two of the biggest FBI cases in American history he oversaw while running the agency.
In the three hours-plus that Hillary Clinton spoke with FBI investigators about her private email server on July 2, she cited more than three-dozen things that she could not recall.

Goldenpause said...

The worst case of amnesia since Hillary Clinton. The defense will be working 24/7 to come up with new info which pins the tail on the donkey. Let’s hope that someone with actual knowledge comes clean and tells the truth.

Jupiter said...

The thing to keep in mind here, is that these chimpanzees can send the police to any house in America, to drag the occupants into their monkey-cage, where they can do anything they like with them. They were duly elected by their fellow chimps in 'Lanta, and when they take a shit and fling it against the wall, that is a "judicial proceeding", commanding the full faith and credit of the other 49 states, as laid out in the US Constitution. A document they would use to wipe their asses, if they ever wiped their asses.

Mason G said...

"It doesn't matter what he says, the cellphone data shows booty calls."

Cellphone data showed stuff about the 2020 election, too. For those committed to "The Cause", none of that really matters, does it?

Jupiter said...

Although I did see, that a DA in AZ refused to honor an extradition request from Alvin Bragg. Apparently, Bragg was trying to extradite one of those illegals who attacked the cops in NYC. The DA in AZ said Bragg would just let him go, so she was hanging on to him. I'd like to think it's the start of CW II, but I suppose that a prosecutor has discretion in honoring an extradition request if he has the subject locked up for crimes in his own jurisdiction.

You know, in the 20's and 30's, WW I was called "the Great War". They weren't expecting another one. Boy, were they not expecting another one! They had all they could do to deal with the Great Depression. You remember, GD I.

Jupiter said...

"something quite extraordinary". Now, that is funny. A two-bit lying grifter, a cheap-jack ambulance chaser who makes a precarious living off insurance fraud and divorce cases, told a lie. Extraordinary!

How many lies do you suppose were told in that courthouse today? Extraordinary!

mikee said...

Anyone else out there who failed to remember in advance their own marriage anniversary or the birthday of a significant other? Well, that doesn't make me believe this guy, but it might convince other people.

Dude1394 said...

All of these lawyers are perjuring themselves and they will GET AWAY WITH IT. Normal everyday people....get thrown in jail.

The idea that we have a "justice" system is laughable.

Rabel said...

Your "something quite extraordinary" quote seems to have disappeared from the Post's story.

I would have enjoyed seeing the reactions in the newsroom when that hit their screens.

Josephbleau said...

I think Fani at least tainted the Fulton County jury pool by speaking in the church and accepting an award from the church, but that may be legally ok, prosecutors make inflammatory political statements all the time. This was a pretty good tactic because it really spreads chaos by Bradly basically changing his story, Bradley looks like a dumbshit now, but I suppose he is not responsible for what he said prior to his testimony, he apparently did lie at some point though.

Looks like Fani, Wade, and Bradley are showing a lot of contempt for the court. But this is politics not law. It will be interesting, is the fix in? Or will the trial be moved to another county.

Joe Smith said...

Love how WaPo spins it as possibly positive.

It's a clusterfuck.

White lawyers would never get away with this...

Big Mike said...

I swear the wapo thinks we're all idiots.

You broke the code! Except it’s not just the Post, it’s the entire Left. It’s the New York Times, it’s the New Yorker, it’s Politico, it’s the management and staff at Google, it’s Antifa, it’s Gadfly and Freder and Cookie and Howard and Rich and Mutaman, it’s earnest young women with green and purple hair waving pro-Palestine signs today and signs denouncing climate change tomorrow.

tommyesq said...

Bradley's demeanor on the stand was classic "guy caught lying but can't tell the truth." Long pauses before answering, head down, no eye contact, then head lowered even further when speaking.

RCOCEAN II said...

Basically, you have a bunch of black hyper political lawyers who think its all fun and games and the Law is meaningless. Its just for judges and lawyers to use to punish their enemies and help their friends.

The real question is why Kemp and the R legislature hasn't stepped in to end this farce and help Trump.

Christopher B said...

His texts to the defense team didn't appear to be speculation despite what he's claiming now (per TechnoFog).

The focus on when the affair started is transparently a red herring. It's the only snippet of the defense brief that Big Fani and company have a hope in hell of obfusticating. It is otherwise irrelevant to the question of how Willis could provide effective oversight, and how Wade could make unbiased prosecutorial decisions, when they were living large off the funds being funneled to them by continuing the investigation.

Dave Begley said...

The cell phone records settle this. Fani lied. Perjury. Removed from the case. Disbarred. Jail.

Will Cate said...

Somebody got to him.... between when he testified earlier, and now

The hopium is strong with this moron.

1: Cell phone data shows their booty calls
2: If he's lying this time, it's to cover up the truths he told before.

Why this all comes down to is "how corrupt is the judge?"

I guess we'll see. Because no one with even the slightest shred of honesty would let Fani continue this case.

PB said...

fascinating he had a one-hour, private, one-on-one meeting with the judge before things began...

Cameron said...

If you missed it, the government bought up allegations of sexual assault in crossing him. It appears this was how he was forced out of the partnership.

This was largely irrelevant to the trial, but you can bet that it was intended to imply that he will be prosecuted for those sexual assaults if he doesn't hold the line. Its entirely possible these are either real or completely fabricated.

To me its pretty clear that Wade did most of his own legal work on the divorce but just submitted it under his partner's name so that it was lodged by Counsel. Any legal discussions likely included how to hide assets from his wife, and this includes the proceeds of his contract with the Prosecutors Office. I dare say that whilst on paper it was split 3 ways, this isn't how the cash ended up flowing.

It also appears clear that both Wade & Willis have screwed over everyone that they've ever dealt with. Bradley certainly appears to have been willing to tell the Trump team where the bodies are buried, as did Fani's ex best friend.

That's not something that happens to good people

Josephbleau said...

Is it really possible for a government employee charged with accepting a bribe to say, yes he gave me a Rolex and a fur coat, and charged it to his credit card but I paid him back in cash that I had sitting around my house. Do people really use that argument in court and go free?

If someone writes a large check to a politician, and later says well, the politician gave me an unrecorded interest free loan a while back with no monthly payments, and I just paid him off in a lump sum. Does this line of argument really work in everyday trials?

Is the Georgia bar exam particularly easy?

And it started with Comey, Clinton, Clapper and Brennan....then they wonder why America doesn't trust ANY of the Intel Agencies, the politicians or the Judicial system in this country. They lie to us, they get away with everything, and they arrest us for the most minor things...to shut us up.

ALL truth. Americans are afraid to be called RACISTS, although after all these years of Obamacult calling us that and worse who cares anymore. THEY are the real racists, and they prove it every single day. Obama was the downfall of America. He pitted us against each other....Race, religion, class and gender.

It does if you are progressive. You can even accuse somebody of rape, in a department store dressing room, that nobody heard, no evidence, no date or year when it happened, the dress you claim you wore wasn't manufactured until after the so called years you THINK it happened..ect..ect..ect... If you are progressive....you can do and say anything and get away with it all.

John henry said...

It sounds like fani needs to hire Algonquin J. Calhoun to defend her.

John henry said...

On a recent No Agenda Show podcast Adam played BBC clip where they kept talking about "Fawni" Willis.

The problem the brits have is that "fanny" in the UK means vulva and is between pussy and cunt on the vulgarity scale.

It is strictly forbidden at bbc posing th an amusing problem.

Fredrick said...

So when did claiming attorney - client privilege become "can't recall"?

Rich said...

Snake eyes, once again for the defense. A colossal waste of time, and that’s the tactic. I was almost embarrassed for the defense attorneys.

Bradley's only "evasion" was evading perjuring himself once he was put under oath. There is no there there. The judge should dismiss the motion and let DA Willis get on with her work. Unfortunately the aim was to discredit the prosecutor and thus the entire justice system and rule of law with false accusations.

Tina Trent said...

Leo: no.

But in Atlanta, there's an understanding that blacks can openly lobby, and run for office from, and practice politics in black churches.

Nobody dare oppose this. I'll die of shock if anyone ever does. I attended a black church for a while, and it was an unique one because the pastor didn't do these things. Good guy. No political clout, didn't want it, served his flock. Good man.

Otherwise, forget it, Jack. Rank may have screwed up a bit by lying in church, but these folks are used to violating church estate laws and it doesn't faze them. It would have been worse for her if she didn't go.

That divorce partner guy's testimony was pretty funny.

That's what I like about you, Rich. You never get tired of thinking you're smart.

"I can't recall" is a lie, it just can't be proven as one. so no, he didn't evade perjuring himself, because the truth of the matter is that Fani corruptly appointed her boy-toy to a job he isn't qualified for so that he could pay to take her on trips.

The cell phone data prove this. The lies about "I paid him back with cash, even though I have no withdrawals to show, and he has no deposits to show" are so obvious that only an utter moron would even pretend to believe them.

So, good job Rusty establishing how worthless you are

Iman said...

Willis didn’t even get approval from the county to hire Wade, which is required. It appears Ana Cross (sp?) may have stepped away from the case, as she can’t be complicit when fraud is being perpetrated.
