C’mon. They’re flailing at this point. Caught in a lie, they’re doubling down instead of just coming clean. Because they know if they just come clean there is still legal repercussions.
That may turn out to be true but we do not know that yet. Again, this will all be sorted out in court under oath. Then we'll know what's really up.

The threshold for the appearance of impropriety has certainly been met. Now it’s up to the judge that use to work under Willis, donated to her campaign, to do the right thing and disqualify them and this case should be dismissed.
McAfee has no choice. This information affirms the testimony made under oath by Robin Yeartie; the phone records - especially considering the times when the calls and texts were made, the pings showing time and location of Wade, all add up to the appearance of impropriety. Do Trump's lawyers have the content of the texts? Regardless, add all this to the trips they took, the sketchy cash reimbursements and the appearance of impropriety is overwhelming. The actual impropriety doesn't have to be proven in court for Willis to be disqualified.

But the issue at hand, and the issue before the Court is not the appearance of impropriety. Few if any people disagree that the Wade/Willis roantic relationship was/is improper. A lot of people, including me go further to say it was idiotic. But that's irrelevant to the question at hand. That question, the question the Court is actually considering, is about a financial conflict of interest. The answer to that question will determine whether or not Willis is disqualified from prosecuting the case against Trump et al.

Yes, the appearance of impropriety, and even their actual impropriety is there, and it is damning to the Willis/Wade professional reputations. But again, that's not the issue before the Court.
The actual impropriety doesn't have to be proven in court for Willis to be disqualified.
Proven or disproven, the impropriety is irrelevant to the question at hand. If a financial conflict of interest can be shown to exist, which Trump has failed to show so far, that becomes more than something improper. That becomes misconduct sufficient to disqualify Willis from the case.

Related is the perjury question. If it can be shown that Wade/Willis committed perjury, that's a level of misconduct that would figure in greater than an improper workplace relationship.

Some are saying that the nature of the texts will likely end up being revealed at some point in the future. But in the meantime, Willis and Wade could merely release them to the judge to exonerate themselves if they want.

The judge made it clear from the start that there was a low bar for Willis to be disqualified; the defense team didn't have to concisely prove conflict of interest or impropriety; the appearance of impropriety would be enough for disqualification...
“It’s clear that disqualification can occur if evidence is produced demonstrating an actual conflict or the appearance of one,” McAfee said, according to HuffPost. “I think it’s possible that the facts alleged by the defendant could result in disqualification. I think an evidentiary hearing must occur to establish the record on those core allegations.”
The judge's precise language appears to show his cautious approach to the matter, attorney John Acevedo, a visiting professor with Emory University, told Atlanta local news organization, 11Alive News. "The key phrase from Judge McAfee was 'the appearance of conflict of interest,'" Acevedo said. "And that's clearly what's on Judge McAfee's mind here; it's the appearance of impropriety, even where there may not be any."


Refer to the earlier quote from Judge McAfee in post #17,612. The timing of their romantic relationship is key to the financial impropriety in addition to conflict of interest. (bold emphasis mine)

The most advanced technology is what Law Enforcement uses to solve crimes and what was applied in the Willis and Wade case as well.
I admit I know essentially nothing about mobile phone tracking technology, and I improperly assumed certain things about it before understanding more. If this "evidence" is admitted, the validity of the technology itself will be questioned.

Trump's Requested Emergency Stay in Carroll Case is Denied

"Federal District Judge Lewis Kaplan [Sunday] morning rejected Donald Trump's request for an emergency stay on the collection of the $83.3 million dollar judgment won by E. Jean Carroll against him. Trump was asking the court for a delay pending post trial motions and appeals.

"In rejecting the motion, the court noted that Trump waited 25 days after the judgment was filed to make his request right before the deadline for Carroll's lawyers to begin attaching liens on his assets. The court also noted that he hasn't even filed any post trial motions yet, only a request to delay the collection of the judgment. Judge Kaplan rejected the request and ordered that briefs be submitted next week."

Is it too much to ask to not have a prosecution involving perjurious prosecutors doing the same thing as the accused is alleged of doing?

The noteworthy thing about the $83.3 million Carroll-defamation judgement is Trump could have avoided paying every penny of it had he learned his lesson from the $5 million judgement that was previously awarded. If he stopped defaming Carroll after the first verdict, the $83.3 million judgement that Trump is now panicking over would not exist at all.

$5 million sounds like a much better deal than $5 million plus $83.3 million. It seems the author of The Art of the Deal missed that fine point.
“Bill Clinton appointed” judge.

That's a fact. The more important fact for Trump is the stay was denied.
Only in a Leftist bizarro world will they try to confiscate money from someone who uses their first amendment right to profess their innocence against a rape allegation( which the jury agreed didn’t happen) and criminally prosecute the victim of a shakedown and not the extortionist.
