She's a lying black whore. That's what black whores are.

Potentially damning text messages detailing when Georgia
District Attorney Fani Willis’ affair with Nathan Wade began
won’t be considered by a judge when he rules on whether the top
prosecutor should be thrown off the Trump election fraud case —
in a blow to former president’s case.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee said Friday text
messages between Wade’s former divorce attorney Terrence Bradley
and another defense lawyer couldn’t be admitted as evidence
because Bradley spilled information that was covered under
attorney-client privilege.

Ashleigh Merchant — representing Trump co-defendant Mike Roman
who’s been spearheading the effort to oust Willis from the case
— tried to bring her texts with Bradley into evidence as he
testified Friday.

“I sent you a statement saying [Wade and Willis] met while
serving as magistrate judges and they started a relationship at
that time, and you corrected me and said, ‘No, it was municipal
court,'” Merchant asked Bradley while reading from their
messages.

Willis became Chief Municipal Judge for South Fulton in Georgia
in 2019, a position she gave up when she was elected as DA in
2021, placing the time frame Bradley was referring to in that
period — well before the pair say they first became romantic in
2022.

When Willis’ relationship with Wade, whom she hired as special
prosecutor in the election fraud case, began is key.

Roman claims they were romantically involved before Wade was
appointed to the case in 2021, presenting a conflict of interest
that should disqualify Willis from prosecuting it.

Wade, who is still in the process of divorcing his wife, and
Willis have both maintained they did not start a relationship
into 2022 and broke up a year later.

However, McAfee ultimately barred this message and others from
being admitted as evidence, finding they were covered by
attorney-client privilege from Bradley’s time working as Wade’s
divorce attorney.

“He may have told you something, but there is no evidence the
client ever waived or allowed him to convey that to you,” McAfee
said to Merchant.

Another text between Merchant and Bradley — also Wade’s former
law partner — that the judge disallowed was from Sept. 18, 2023,
when Merchant asked Bradley if he knew anyone who would make a
sworn statement about Wade and Willis’ relationship.

“No, no one would freely burn that bridge,” Merchant said,
reading from Bradley’s text to her.

Merchant and Trump’s lawyer Steven Sadow vigorously sought to
get the messages allowed as evidence and to be able to probe
Bradley on what they meant.

Anna Cross, a lawyer in Willis’ office, argued the messages are
simply two lawyers “gossiping” and therefore should be kept out.

Later Friday, McAfee said he would meet privately with Bradley
and his lawyer to probe whether he actually had grounds to
invoke attorney-client privilege after it came out he wrongly
used the privilege on another topic.

If Willis is found to have lied under oath or if Merchant can
prove she improperly hired Wade and profited from his lucrative
pay, there are grounds for her dismissal.

Judge McAfee is expected to make a ruling in the case next week.
