You are correct. She is described as "half demon and half Spider, with a spider form."

This was included as a detail in the special counsel's report into Joe Biden's unauthorized removal, retention, and disclosure of classified documents:

Here is how Merrick Garland, who was appointed by Joe Biden, described the special counsel:

I am personally inclined to believe that the person who was appointed by Merrick Garland, who was appointed by Joe Biden, is telling the truth. Joe Biden's memory issues are well documented on camera in a variety of public appearances. 86% of Americans believe that Biden is too old to be president, so those who deny his memory issues are in the minority.

Yeah, it happened.

Full copy of texts between Merchant and Bradley are allowed to be entered into evidence but that feels kinda like...I dunno, so what if he said in texts "oh yeah they were hooking up before then I got all the goods" but then when he's on the stand he walks that back and says he was speculating.

Not watching it right now but I think it'd show Merchant wasn't making poo poo up and had reason to investigate farther. Since he wasn't under oath then, presumably there's downside to changing the story now.

The main thing they seem to be hinging this on is that because they had this relationship and he was hired and then used his money to pay for "vacations" then it amounts to an issue of sorts...I assume they're trying to say that by hiring him into this position in this trial it was financially beneficial to him and he used that financial benefit to "repay" Willis by going on vacations with her etc etc

quote:

John B. Merchant III, a lawyer for one of the co-defendants, said the Fulton district attorney had a “personal interest” in this case, and therefore should be disqualified.

What is that personal interest, the judge asked?

“I think you know it when you see it,” Merchant said. “I think there’s enough facts in front of you that you know it when you see it.

I'm no law person but telling that to the judge seems maybe not the best tactic

There needs to be a clear error of law. So... Pretty hard if the state doesn't gently caress up.

If the judge tosses this nonsense I can't rest see it being overturned. The appeals Court doesn't usually look at matters of fact, so if he doesn't believe the two gossipy witnesses then the only thing they can rely on is really niche procedural law.

Behavior of prosecuting Trump is a violation of the public trust and as such they should be DQ'd and the case should be thrown out and and all cases thrown out and Trump should be reinstated to the presidency and and named the winner of '24 and be given 500 Big Boy points to boot.

Could the prosecutors also point out that trump seems to be a big factor himself in why his defense is always so shoddy. Seems like he often hobbles his own defense by not letting them argue stronger points out of pure ego, often withholds information, and constantly lies, and is always more concerned with looking good rather than winning his cases.

Seems like even the best lawyers would have quite a bit of trouble handling him.
