Trump co-defendant Michael Roman accused Willis of misconduct for her “clandestine” relationship with Nathan Wade, whom she appointed as special counsel.
That’s the thing, the judge has an obligation to be fair, and the Prosecution needs to have all their bases covered because the defense is presumed innocent until they are proven guilty. This means that the defense often gets the benefit of the doubt when things like this pop up, to make sure nothing can happen to overturn any guilty verdict that comes down.
And this DA knows all that, knows how tight her cases need to be in order to stick. So engaging in this relationship in the first place was a poor choice. It should never have happened, and I think she knows that.

This, 100%. Even when a case seems won, don’t give your opponent anything to muddy the water. I hope she owns this mistake and tightens her process.
