Of course the optics are horrific on both sides. Trump is guilty as crap, lies and Willis plus others are just as bad. Optics are mostly facts. Who needs Optics. The problem is that we don't have an electable on either side. All this true tit for tat crap is for the birds. Everybody calling everybody out but know one is doing anything to fix their sides problems. Off with their heads. All this is political gamesmanship creating an illusion just need to deal with the facts on Trump, Willis and Biden put them where they belong --- Jail. All this crap may not change a thing in the big picture. So let it play out.
Georgia DA Fani Willis Accused Of Paying Prosecutor In Trump Case Less Than Alleged Squeeze Nathan Wade
Under fire Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis stands accused of paying one of her special prosecutors $100 less per hour than her less-qualified alleged lover Nathan Wade.
Court records show Wade billing the Fulton District Attorney’s office $250 per hour for his work prosecuting Donald Trump and 18 others on
state racekteering charges over 2020 election interference in November and December 2021, despite having no experience in that area of law.
Meanwhile John Floyd — regarded the state’s foremost expert on Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) cases — was only billing $150 an hour in those same months, according to a contract
obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
The revelation comes a day after Willis — accused last week of having a
“clandestine” personal relationship with Wade in papers asking for them both to be dismissed from the case — said she treated all three special prosecutors she hired equally.
Speaking at a local church service Sunday, she said: “I appointed three special counsels, as is my right to do, paid them all the same hourly rate.”

Willis went on to
accuse her detractors of racism, saying they had singled out Wade as the only the black prosecutor she hired.
Michael Roman, the defendant who first alleged Willis and Wade were in a relationship, was quick to fire back.
“The biggest difference between Ms. Cross, Mr. Floyd and Mr. Wade is that Ms. Willis is not in a relationship with Ms. Cross and Mr. Floyd,” he told the Atlanta Constitution-Journal Sunday.
In that light, Wade’s past stance on conflicts of interest has raised some eyebrows.

He appeared to take a strong stance when asked at a candidate forum sponsored by the Cobb County NAACP as to when a judge should recuse themselves from a case.
“If there’s an appearance, just a mere appearance of impropriety, and there’s a request for recusal, just do it, because by not doing it, what you’re doing is hurting the county in the long run, you’re costing the taxpayers a lot of money,” Wade said in 2016, according to the
Marietta Daily Journal.
