Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a complaint asking for the disbarment of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over her relationship with a prosecutor she hired for her Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump.

On social media, Greene said she was filing the complaint to disbar Willis “for her corrupt actions.”

Willis “should’ve been removed from her political persecution of President Trump after it was revealed she went on lavish vacations with her lover Nathan Wade,” Greene wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

“The lover she paid HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of dollars! Unfit to serve!”

      From everything I’ve read/heard about this, it does sound like a bit of a nothing burger. Overblown for political ends. But I think saying “coworker” is a bit intellectually dishonest. A big part of the allegation is that they were involved, and then she hires him. Concerns of abuse of power, misuse of funds, and conflicts of interest. The judge’s ruling seems fair. To opponents, dismissing it in this way has the appearance of strawmanning. If you already have a strong argument, you only hurt your position long run

    I’m glad it’s MTG so I don’t have to worry that it might be a serious matter to concern myself about.

    I move to just drop MTG somewhere in the Gaza Strip and hopes she gets hit by a Jewish space laser.

    Why Democrats don’t make this clown the poster child of the last throes GOP is puzzling.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a complaint asking for the disbarment of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over her relationship with a prosecutor she hired for her Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump.

    Willis “should’ve been removed from her political persecution of President Trump after it was revealed she went on lavish vacations with her lover Nathan Wade,” Greene wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

    The Republican congresswoman wrote in a complaint filed with the State Bar of Georgia on Wednesday that she was “requesting an investigation of Fani Willis, her suspension, and her disbarment,” Bloomberg News reported.

    Wade offered his resignation hours after McAfee’s ruling, saying in a letter to Willis that he was doing so “in the interest of democracy, in dedication to the American public and to move this case forward as quickly as possible.”

    Defense attorneys alleged that Wade was paid large sums for his work on the case that Willis improperly benefited when he used his earnings to pay for trips for them.

    Greene’s complaint is yet another effort by Trump allies to discredit the most sprawling of four criminal cases against the former president, who is now the presumptive Republican nominee for the 2024 election.
