Judge in Georgia Trump election case says while he couldn't "conclusively establish" when Willis' relationship with prosecutor turned romantic, "an odor of mendacity remains."

Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor working with the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, resigned his post after a judge ruled Friday that District Attorney Fani Willis and her office may remain on the 2020 election case involving former President Donald Trump and his allies if Wade stepped aside.

Wade’s resignation as special prosecutor came hours after Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee laid out two options that would allow for the continued prosecution of the racketeering case against Trump and his co-defendants stemming from an alleged scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.

    Bruh, when I say something along the lines of “what people usually make in this position for cases of this magnitude”, it literally begs to be compared to “OTHER” cases.

    Comparing the lead prosecutors salary to supporting prosecutors salaries means very little in that context.

    It’s like me saying “CEOs in this industry tend to make a lot more than this CEO was making” and then you saying " This CEO was making a lot more than his CFO, and his secretary, which is outrageous!"

    While I might agree, it’s not exactly pertinent to the point I was making about lead prosecutors on cases of a similar magnitude…
