Before getting to that, Jonathan Turley writes that Fani and Sweetdick appear guilty of the same crimes of perjury and obstruction they're prosecuting the Trump defendants for.
And now including witness tampering.
When Fani Willis ran against her former boss Paul Howard in 2020, she highlighted the experience that she would bring to the position.
Howard was embroiled in a sexual harassment scandal involving his relationship with women in his office.
Willis offered both experience and ethical leadership, including pledging repeatedly that "I will certainly not be choosing to date people that work under me."
Willis is now accused of the wrong type of relevant experience.
She and her lead prosecutor are not just accused of having an intimate relationship, but they are accused of some of the same underlying conduct that they are prosecuting in the election interference case against former President Donald Trump and other defendants.
That now includes allegations of filing false statements with courts and even influencing witnesses.
This week, another witness came forward with an explosive new allegation against Willis.
In the prior hearings in Atlanta, Nathan Wade was confronted with what appears to be false statements made to the court in his divorce case, false statements that he repeated under oath in disqualification testimony.
'
For example, Wade was asked about his denial of "a sexual relationship during the time of his marriage and separation" up to and including May 30, 2023.
That would obviously include the sexual relationship with Willis in 2022 and possibly earlier. Wade, however, denied any such sexual relationship and said he confined the question to sexual relations meaning an affair "in the course of my marriage."
Of course, his marriage was ongoing even during the divorce and the question asked about any relationship up to May 2023.
Wade and Willis have also been contradicted in their testimony by various witnesses who said they lied about their intimate relationship starting after he was hired in 2022.
That includes prior text messages in which Wade's former partner and lawyer Terrence Bradley repeatedly told opposing counsel that he was "absolutely" sure that the relationship began much earlier.
A former close friend of Willis also said they were lying.
This is notable because Wade and Willis brought 19 individual counts of false statements, false filings, or perjury against the defendants in their case.
There are now substantial allegations that they may have committed the very same criminal conduct.
Now another prosecutor has come forward to say that Bradley also told her repeatedly and with complete clarity and certainty that Wade and Willis were involved long before his hiring.
Those conversations allegedly occurred as late as January 2024 with Cindi Lee Yeager, a co-chief deputy district attorney for Cobb County.
What is even more alarming is Yeager's account that she overheard Willis tell Bradley on the telephone that "they are coming after us. You don't need to talk to them about anything about us."
If true, that call could raise questions of influencing potential witnesses.
That doesn't mean she'll be disqualified.
In fact -- if this tip is true -- she probably won't be:
According to Paul Sperry, a lawyer close to Judge McAfee says he's "very reluctant" to disqualify these serial perjurers and witness tampering obstructers of justice.

DEVELOPING: An Atlanta lawyer familiar w/ Judge McAfee's thinking says he's reluctant to disqualify D.A. Fani Willis b/c he's worried ruling would "spill over" to every other indictment she's signed
(Note: McAfee previously worked for Willis and contributed $350 to her campaign)
And suddenly a Jesse Jackson disciple is running against him:

Terrible news for Team Trump in Atlanta. Judge McAfee was running unopposed. Now you get a Jesse Jackson disciple challenging him in a district that went 73% for Biden. McAfee is going to need a rock solid spine to DQ Fani Willis now.
Yeah, well, per Paul Sperry, he was already going to cover up her crimes.
Here are some of the things Ashleigh Merchant testified to:
Terrence Bradley did not just text her; they had full spoken conversations about the affair and when it began. I assume Ashleigh Merchant couldn't present her knowledge of what Bradley said in court because it would be hearsay -- she would be saying what he told her about the relationship. She could only present his own statements, in the form of texts, as evidence.
But the Senate hearing isn't a courtroom, so she gave the full report of everything Bradley told her, including which other witnesses to ask about the affair (including Robin Yeartie, though he only knew her as "Fani's best friend" and Merchant had to search to find out who this person was), the keycards Sweetdick was given to make it more convenient to service her filthy needs, etc.
At the end of this clip, she reveals that Fani Willis fought tooth and nail to get the county approve payment for a social media monitoring service which would tell her what her media clout was, whether it was rising or falling, etc. This was to "manage her brand."
Sweetdick was getting $250 per hour. And he was getting paid for a lot of hours. One day, Merchant reports, he billed 24 hours in one day. Apparently Sweetdick claimed that he reported all the hours he'd worked, over several days, in one day.
Why not believe him? He's done nothing but lie to us so far. The law of large numbers says he must tell the truth, eventually!
Merhant notes that Fani's first story about where all this cash was coming from was... to admit that she illegally stole campaign funds for personal use.
Then came the story about her Black Panther Daddy telling her she should just always have fat stacks of cash lying around the house.
Fani met with Kamala Harris. Gee, wonder what they were talking about.
