Just what we needed in this soap opera, another plot twist. Trump co-defendant Mike Roman, “a Philadelphia-based political operative who served as Trump’s director of Election Day operations on his 2020 reelection campaign and faces seven criminal charges,” is alleging that Fani Willis and a top prosecutor in the case are engaged in an “improper” romantic relationship, making the indictment “fatally defective.” The Hill:
Roman’s lawyer, Ashleigh Merchant, claimed in court papers that “sources close” to both Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade indicated the pair are involved in an “ongoing, personal and romantic relationship.”
“The instant Motion is not filed lightly. Nor is it being filed without considerable forethought, research or investigation,” Merchant wrote.
The Hill has reached out to the district attorney’s office and Roman’s lawyer for comment.
The Trump co-defendant claims that Willis and Wade traveled to “traditional vacation destinations” together — such as the Caribbean and Napa Valley — and have been seen in private together “in and about the Atlanta area.” The filing did not include documentation of those alleged trips.
The filing also claims that “sources close to both the special prosecutor and the district attorney” said an ongoing, personal relationship between the pair that began before the election interference case was initiated. The Hill has not independently confirmed these claims.
Wade worked in private practice but was hired by the district attorney’s office to help prosecute the election interference case, which resulted in charges against Trump and 18 others in a sprawling indictment last August.
Trump is not the only person in this scenario with a persecution complex. This defendant’s lawyer is arguing that attorney Wade, “will continue to be incentivized to prosecute this case based on his personal and financial motives, so he has acquired a unique and personal interest or stake in Mr. Roman’s continued prosecution. That is, he is motivated to prosecute Mr. Roman for as long as possible because he will continue to make exorbitant sums of money.”
Poor Trump. Poor co-defendants. The world is simply out to get them. And they’re so innocent and pure, an image of driven snow comes to mind, yet all these evil people are arrayed against them.
Let’s see how far these allegations get and whether they hold water. Roman, faces seven charges for allegedly helping coordinate a meeting where a slate of pro-Trump electors signed Electoral College documents in December 2020. He pleaded not guilty, naturally. And now he’s pleading that he’s being framed by Fani Willis and her lover. Hoe kay. Let’s see what happens next, on As Trump World Turns.
Spaghetti…meet wall! Gotta do something to muddy the edge of the pond! Doesn’t smell like teen spirit…reeks of desperation!
When in doubt, call a woman a cheap.slut.
If you have evidence, show it. If all you have are rumors, likely spread by white attorneys who resent having to respect a Black woman as an equal, then sit down and shut your da**ed gob.
