It would have gone a lot faster if the witnesses had been honest and not evading and hemming and hawing for hours.Im Gipper said:

It would appear the Georgia Senate is stepping in and all of the text communications between Merchant and Bradley are about to come into full view:
GA State Senate Subpoenas Texts
Obviously, the judge knows this is going to happen. IF he decides not to disqualify Wade (at least), how could he save the least bit of face with such a decision?
Also, how do Willis and Wade not get some type of reprimand from the state Bar? Or am I asking too much from the Justice system?
I must have missed something, but I thought that Willis and Wade were trying to protect those texts between Merchant and Bradley from being admitted, and that they had discussions about them in his chambers. I don't, however, recall them being released. Nor do I recall a decision as to the admissibility of the cellphone data that was tracking Wade. Sucks to have a job that keeps me busy . Someone fill me in on what I have missed.TXAggie2011 said:Kool said:

I believe the Judge has seen the texts since they were filed. But if the defense thought they were particularly helpful, one would presume they'd have dug into them more.
We've seen some already, in which Bradley lodges some insults at Willis and Wade. That woulda been fodder for cross, so another reason perhaps why the defense didn't push the full texts.
The defense could not since the texts were reviewed in camera but not entered into evidence. That fact forecloses inquiry to "have dug into them more" during Bradley's testimony on Tuesday.Quote:

Damn they are playing with fire. They will mess around and open a door that forces the cell data in, as of now I think thee's a chance the cell data gets blackholed. They keep trying to reopen evidence doors it's going to blow up in their faces.TXAggie2011 said:
This hearing is like the Never Ending ****ing Story. Hopefully the Judge puts the kibosh on it tomorrow and can get to making a decision one way or the other.As Judge McAfee mulls whether to disqualify Fani Willis, prosecutors move to file an affidavit of Stanley Brody, a California winery employee.

Brody says he recalls Willis paying more than $400 in cash for a wine tasting in Napa Valley last year.https://t.co/5HF6BlQ06b pic.twitter.com/GNUJsLGIWB
That's my take too. Fani and Wade really need to shut up at this point.Quote:

So we will have summations today at 1 Eastern, 12 Central as currently scheduled. Judge left the door open for additional proffers (mini evidentiary offer) which may, may lead him him to decide to reopen the evidentiary portion of the hearing and allow new witnesses. If he does go that route (doubtful) he wil set a hearing for another day. Trump's lawyer Sadow asked if he needed to have witnesses available for today and the judge said no.
But it seems that Fani may want to reopen the evidentiary portion as well. (Don't ask me why because I think that is a very dumb move.)

If they had been honest from the get-go then this would not be happening, Old news, yada yada and McAfee would have dropped it.
part of me wants to see Fanni and her beau take Trump to court. One would think it would be a **** show beyond anything imaginable.AgCat93 said:aggiehawg said:

It's been established that Fani is indeed not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree. Let her continue to prove it.
Let's assume for a moment that Fani is actually telling the truth that she did reimburse Wade for her portion of their travels with cash. No checks, no cash apps, currency. Why? No paper trail that would reveal the relationhip. Privacy is important, I understand but she is an elected official and with that type of position come legal requirements for disclosure of monetary transactions to root out potential cases of bribery and kickbacks.taxpreparer said:aggiehawg said:That's my take too.

This looks like Nixon and Watergate. It wasn't the brek-on that hung him, but the cover-up.
I just think what I would do and then assume they're going to the opposite. Seems to be how the justice system works.Agthatbuilds said:
There's 0 doubt
I'm thinking he's already decided to toss them and doesn't want to waste any more time on hearing from a clerk in in California that Fani paid $400 cash for a wine tasting tour.aggiehawg said:
There will not be any decision today but it sounds like McAfee may have to reopen the evidence since both sides want to make proffers of addtional evidence.
Up first, Roman's attorney John Merchant.
