Yeah. She has text messages from Bradley where he was gossiping. But now that he is being called on it he is claiming that it was all just that, gossip.

Yes.

He's profoundly, profoundly, profoundly stupid for gossipping with an opposing lawyer about a client. I cannot fathom doing what he did.

I posted in this thread before, the capacity of prosecutors to be complete failures of lawyers is boundless. That they would permit the prosecution of a President to devolve into this mess is unbelievable.

This guy wasn't a prosecutor, he was a partner of Wade, and probably sucked rear end as an attorney since he was taking work for like $40 an hour to do boring tasks for the prosecutors office.

He'll probably wind up disbarred after all of this on top of the sexual assaults.

Which side called Bradley as a witness? Was it the defense or the prosecution? Because if it was the defense and this was the prosecution's cross (which it sounds like from that short clip) lol.

He was a prosecution defense witness because he made a remark about when the affair began once, and they wanted to admit it as evidence. On the stand he rescinded it, claiming he was just BSing and didn't actually know anything.

Edit: Got mixed up on what "prosecution" and "defense" means in this case. The defense is bringing up the accusations against Fani Willis, so they're acting as prosecutors in this process. He's their witness.

What's even the end goal of the Trump side? If Willis is kicked off, wouldn't she just be replaced by whoever the #2 prosecutor is and no big deal? Or is Trump trying to argue the entire office is tainted.

If willis were disqualified it would disqualify her whole office and force the prosecution to be handled by the state AG, which would likely delay things for the foreseeable future. Another case that was similarly bumped like a year ago still doesn't officially have a new prosecutor appointed.

That said after today that ain't happening unless this judge is a Maga chud sufficient to have killed the case anyway like Cannon.

If Willis is kicked off then the case then her entire office is disqualified and Georgia may or may not find another prosecutor. Even if they do, it will delay the trial past the election.

So far the Trump team has entirely failed to prove, or really substantiate in any way, that Willis personally benefitted from hiring Wade though. It seems that they thought they had testimony that it turned out they didn't actually have.

The longer any of his infinite court cases are delayed the closer he gets to potentially not being prosecuted due to effective Presidential immunity from crimes. That is his entire strategy and unfortunately the US political and legal system is borked enough that it really is his best bet to not spend the rest of his life broke and/or in jail.

The Georgia case still lives!...?

The funniest outcome is that he wins the presidency from state prison* in GA. I don't even think it's that unlikely.

I remember seeing "that moment" in a lot of high profile cases or legal actions where you just know it's completely sunk the loving thing, and usually its terrible poo poo like the prosecution handing kyle rittenhouse total freedom.

They're stalling for time. Trumps overall legal strategy for all his cases is transparently, "get back into office, declare self dictator for life, purge enemies, order room service."

I am pretty sure that Bradley was a witness identified and called by Merchant, the lawyer for Trump’s side (technically for one of his co-defendants but it’s just as good for Trump if this case goes Merchant’s way) and this clip was Merchant trying to get him to substantiate the gossiping he did to her that got her to launch the case and he was just absolutely refusing to.

Edit: like it is absolutely clear to me from today that Bradley was poo poo-talking his former friend and client Wade, possibly due to Bradley-being-fired-for-sexual-harassment-and-resenting-his-now-lower-income-and-stature-reasons, and Merchant heard him, and she decided to launch all of this on the assumption that somewhere in Wade and Willis’ history and Wade’s divorce she could find evidence, and it all turned into a massive wet fart where no other evidence existed.

She runs the office. All the other prosecutors in the office are her employees and subordinates, and therefore highly vulnerable to potentially being influenced by her.

I thought Willis already said that there was no way Trump's GA trial was happening before the election anyway? I hate how all these charges were delayed, they should have brought these cases in 21/22. Criminal cases have no shortage of delays because of all the Constitutional concerns.

No, the plan was for the trial to start in I believe April or May. That's why this hearing is happening now as a pretrial motion.

“She can influence the prosuectors” isn’t actually a thing that can DQ her.

The thing that is suppose to be DQing her is the idea that she was sabotaging the trial and making it take sooooo long because she was trying to pay her boyfriend extra. Or something like that. They never really had a good theory, but the judge still has to hear it out.
