The latter quote is more implied than explicit.
But boy oh boy, Fani does not want to have to give answers under oath.
She is, however, willing to make vague accusations of racism in front of a black church. If it please Your Honor.
A Georgia judge is hearing arguments Monday over whether to enforce a subpoena issued to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as part of her top prosecutor's divorce case, which she received amid allegations that she and the prosecutor were involved in an improper relationship while prosecuting the election interference case against former President Donald Trump.
Willis, who is not present in courtroom, is seeking to quash the subpoena she received from the wife of special prosecutor Nathan Wade, in order to avoid her deposition in the case, which is set for Tuesday.
At the start of the hearing, the judge -- at the request of Ashleigh Merchant, the attorney for Roman who first filed the motion containing the allegations -- ordered the divorce case between Wade and his wife be unsealed and made public.
The ruling came over the objections of Wade's attorney, who argued that the "current status" of the case "clearly shows the harm that is done to these parties."
...
Willis claimed in a court filing last week that being deposed in the case would be "outside the scope of discovery" in the divorce matter and that it amounts to "attempt to harass and damage her professional reputation."
"The sought after deposition of District Attorney Willis is not relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending action and should not be permitted," the filing from Willis's attorney said.
...
Wade's wife has asked the judge in her divorce case to enforce the subpoena in order to "determine details" surrounding Wade and Willis' relationship. Her filing included credit card records that appear to show Wade paid for multiple trips to Miami and San Francisco for him and Willis during the election probe.
In her filing seeking to quash the subpoena, Willis claims that she "cannot provide unique personal knowledge" on matters relevant to the divorce because the marriage is ending on the grounds that it was "irretrievably broken."
Like me, Viva Frei wonders how it can be that Fani Willis can claim in a motion that she has "no information" about how the Wade marriage ended, and yet offer, in that very same motion, intimate details about the Wade marriage like it being "irretrievably broke" due to the alleged affair Mrs. Wade had with Mr. Wade's friend.
How does a person with no admitted involvement with Mr. Wade come into possession of such intimate and salacious details about his marriage? Curious!
A judge also wants to interrogate the Power Bottom Couple about possible improprieties in using public funds for pubic ends, and allegations of them comingling their junk.
"The judge overseeing the election interference case against former president Donald Trump in Georgia has reportedly scheduled a hearing for Feb. 15 to examine recent allegations that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her lead prosecutor 'engaged in an improper relationship and mishandled public money,'" reports Nicole Bennett at WSB Radio.
The Washington Post has a more detailed report explaining that Judge Scott McAfee has ordered Willis to respond in writing to the allegations by Feb. 2, and he has called a hearing about the accusations and scheduled it for Feb. 15.
...
"Willis has declined to address the accusations directly so far," reports the Washington Post's Amy Gardner and Holly Bailey. "McAfee's order appears to be forcing her to do so in televised court proceedings, a development that could at the least be embarrassing for the district attorney and at worst derail the investigation completely."
Yes that would be "the worst."
