Back to the black church. It's such a f*cking cliche. Democrat get caught in scandal, Democrat goes to black church to talk some black struggle (mmm-hm) nonsense.

She's quotin' some Scripture: "no weapon formed against you shall prosper." But she says "they" will "form weapons" against you, "even if everything you do is the right thing."

Like doing Sweetdick -- doing Sweetick was doing the right thing.

That video below, but Margot Cleveland has some breaking news:

[Three Fire Emojis]

Ashleigh Merchant confirmed to me: "Yes, I spoke directly on a number of occasions with Bradley. He reviewed my pleadings for accuracy before I filed them. He unequivocally told me the personal & romantic relationship began prior to Wade receiving the contract as a special prosecutor on this case."

Obviously, that's big. Terrence Bradley keeps invoking an absurdly broad claim of lawyer-client privilege to avoid answering questions about what he saw of his friend and business partner or heard through office gossip -- stuff that's outside of the protections for lawyer-client communications. The privilege extends to communications, not observations, and applies to what your client told you in furtherance of seeking legal advice, not what you heard from third parties or what he told you as a buddy.

But Terrence Bradley keeps falsely invoking the privilege -- basically, he's perjuring himself too.

But Ashleigh Merchant (lawyer for Trump "RICO co-conspirator" Michael Roman) says that he confirmed the affair in texts before being called as a witness.

I listened to Megyn Kelly recap Friday's perjury festival, and here are the key points:

Ashleigh Merchant read two texts to Bradley. In one, she asks him if he knows anyone else who can confirm that the affair began before 2022. He says "no one who would be willing to burn that bridge" with Fani Willis, or words to that effect.

She also sent him a file containing the claim she was going to file in court, and asked him for comment on them. The claims included, of course, the allegation that the affair began before Fani Willis hired her boytoy as prosecutor. Bradley responded: "Looks good," thereby confirming all of her allegations were true, in his knowledge.

Bradley agreed that he sent those texts -- despite having falsely testified earlier that he never texted with Ashleigh Merchant directly. Another case of perjury.

Otherwise, he falsely claimed "lawyer-client privilege" to all questions.

Now this is interesting: Fani Willis' team was so determined to destroy Bradley's credibility as a witness that the cross-examined him viciously, asking him why he had been forced out of the Law Partnership of Darrius "Sweetdick" Honeycum, Lance Clamhammer, and Rex DeQuim. The reason for his dismissal, Fani Willis' lawyers (the lawyers for the Fulton County DA's office0, was that Bradley had been accused by two different women of sexual misconduct.

Whether that's true or not, Fani Willis was attempting to nuke his credibility from space. She knows damn well that he knows the real date the affair began, and she knows it may come out, so she's attempting to paint him a sexual assailant.

But this is the cool part: Terrence Bradley had previously been asked why he left the firm of Sweetdick, Clamhammer, and DeQuim, and had again invoked "attorney-client privilege" to avoid answering.

But when Fani Willis' own team brought up the real reason for the dismissal, the judge, who had previously blocked Bradley's testimony from coming in, accepting, provisionally, his expansive claims of privilege, then said, in so many words, "Whoa, hold up, that is obviously not privileged information, and the fact that you define 'attorney client-privilege' to essentially mean 'I don't answer any question I don't want to answer' gives me serious pause about accepting all of your previous claims of privilege, and I'm going to reevaluate my ruling on all of your privilege claims with this new knowledge that you are baselessly invoking privilege to deny the court information."

So Fani's team, in its desperate attempt to nuke this guy's credibility, opened the door to a close examination of his claims of privilege on all questions.

Below, the sausage-shaped Fani Willis accepts the AVN Award for Best Gunt.

I actually don't know what the award was for. It was for Some Bullshit. Some family gave her the award for perseverance in the face of people telling the truth about you or some bullshit.
