Multiple witnesses testifying that Willis Wade relationship started long before he was appointed.

We knew about Wades friend and former attorney, but a Willis friend testified that the relationship started in 2019.

We knew about someone close to Wade who was going to testify that Willis and Wade were an item in 2022, prior to his appointment in 2023. Now it would appear that at least one witness (a friend of Willis) is claiming the relationship started as early as 2019. Either way, this would make multiple people who claim to have first hand knowledge of this relationship being active "prior" to when both Willis and Wade provided sworn court documents that suggested otherwise.

The judge in this case is going to be stuck between a rock and a hard place here. He is obviously anti-Trump and would loath having to do something drastic that undermines this case. But how would it look to a skeptical public if he basically decided that these witnesses were all lying and just took Willis and Wade at their work. It might even be harder for him if he suggested that the witnesses were telling the truth, Willis and Wade defrauded the court with their statements, but that this was not enough to disqualify either of them from the case. Moreover, there are other things in motion here at the State level (other investigations into this) that might eventually override what the Judge decides.

The sad thing about this is that any reasonable prosecutor would have already stepped away from this case by now. Given the case they are making (that a variety of false documents filed to the court, along with misrepresentation, and dishonesty can make for a crime syndicate under the RICO laws of racketeering) the idea that they can lie to the court with impunity is doubly troubling. But both Willis and Wade might already suspect that someone else taking over this case might not actually agree with their charging logic and simply refuse to prosecute. If they had others assisting who were on board with this, then the logical thing to do would be to step away and let them take over. Because if the Judge or the State get involved, they could toss this whole thing out of their jurisdiction as well. It makes you wonder if they trust those under them to push this as hard as they are pushing.

Update: Wade took the stand and one of the things he was asked about was the thousands of dollars he spent on trips that were billed under his name. He represented to the court that he was reimbursed with "cash" from Fani Willis for these types of larger expenses, but that he never deposited the cash or has anyway to verify it. One has to wonder now that Wade has testified under oath to receiving large amounts of cash from Willis, is Willis can produce withdraw receipts to show this. Even if Wade did not deposit large amounts of cash, Willis would have needed to come up with this cash. In modern times we simply do not have large amounts of cash without withdrawing from our bank accounts.
