Nathan Wade — prosecutor, former lover of Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis, and unlikely wrench in the gears of the lawfare campaign against presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump — has a poor grasp of discretion, as we now well know.
To that, we can add that he has a poor grasp of the significant body of constitutional scholarship, which states that a sitting president can’t just be dragged into a court of law.
This revelation came as part of Wade’s interview on CNN Wednesday with Kaitlan Collins, which focused — as you might expect — on his amorous dalliance with the Fulton County DA trying to nail Trump and his associates on RICO charges based on their attempts to challenge the results of the 2020 election.
That effort wasn’t exactly going stellar before the evidence of their relationship came to light. Without going through a full rehash of l’affaire Willis/Wade — which did indeed provide some much needed levity to an otherwise dreary, underwhelming set of proceedings — Wade was forced off the case, and Willis was given a strong rebuke but allowed to continue as lead prosecutor. Trump’s lawyers are appealing that decision, which has pushed the start of the case off indefinitely.
