What happens if Trump is indicted in Georgia? (Indicted on August 14, 2023)

@flurb

if Willis was in a relationship with Wade when she hired him to assist with the Trump prosecution, there may well be ethical issues that could prejudice Trumps ability to get a fair trial.

Nah, I don’t see it.

It might be a political scandal regarding how tax payer money is being spent, but it’s not going to impact the fairness of the trial.

@flurb

Wade has paid for vacations for the both of them. This could create an incentive for Willis to prolong the trial as long as possible so that Wade continues to get paid.

donald has a constitutional right to a speedy trial, and he could make that demand at any time. He’s the one choosing to delay.

@flurb

And so, she might refuse to consider plea bargains or other agreements with opposing counsel that she otherwise would.

That doesn’t impact trial. And no defendant has a right to a plea.
