I reported earlier on some of the explosive testimony during the Fulton County disqualification hearing, which heard testimony from witnesses including Fulton County DA Fani Willis and her special prosecutor Nathan Wade.
Some of the highlights?
Robin Yeartie, Fani Willis' former friend, said that she knew that Willis and Wade had a romantic relationship starting in 2019, which directly contradicted what Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade told the Court. Then Wade testified, saying things that I think many would question, including that Willis paid him back for what he laid out on trips in cash--but he never deposited the cash and had no records.
Then to top it all off, Willis herself testified. She freaked out and had a meltdown during her testimony, yelling that defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant was lying about her. The judge even had to call a recess because things were getting out of hand.

It sounded like legal analysts on MSNBC were giving up the ghost for Fani Willis after the testimony from Yeartie. When Democrats even lose MSNBC, they just may be in trouble.
"GAME OVER" for Fulton County DA Fani Willis, declares MSNBC legal analyst:

"Don't let the legalese fool you," Caroline Polisi, a federal defense attorney, said.
"This is epic, this is monumental. If things are going in the direction we think, Fani Willis lied to the Court. It's game over for her. She will be disqualified, um, if they had a relationship prior to when she represented to the Court. It's a huge deal. Like I can't overstate it."
Then, there was former federal prosecutor Chuck Rosenberg, who spoke during one of the recesses in the hearing.
“This is getting ugly and it’s getting messy.”

He said, “It might be appropriate for Ms. Willis to consider removing herself from this case now.”
But she's already dug herself a huge hole that she might not be able to climb out from under, at this point.
Many thought that Willis was now done, including journalist Megyn Kelly.
Watching this Fani Willis/Nathan Wade hearing and they are toast. TOAST.

1. Her former close friend testified that their romantic relationship began well prior to when Fani hired him. By years! (Which means they lied to the court.)
2. Wade claimed Fani reimbursed him for all…
Remember when Willis took to the pulpit to sermonize about the allegations against her as racist?

I think Willis might have stumbled here, just a bit.
