And a this begs a question... if there was enough evidence to disqualify one of the two, why not both?


The ruling hasn't been posted yet, but an article I read said they had to choose between either:

1. Full recusal of her office
2. Replacing Wade, which would remove the impropriety at issue

I imagine this is going to be along the lines of their personal relationship more than the financial stuff.

This finding is by no means an indication that the Court condones this tremendous lapse in judgment or the unprofessional manner of the District Attorney’s testimony during the evidentiary hearing. Rather, it is the undersigned’s opinion that Georgia law does not permit the finding of an actual conflict for simply making bad choices – even repeatedly - and it is the trial court’s duty to confine itself to the relevant issues and applicable law properly brought before it. Other forums or sources of authority such as the General Assembly, the Georgia State Ethics Commission, the State Bar of Georgia, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, or the voters of Fulton County may offer feedback on any unanswered questions that linger. But those are not the issues determinative to the Defendants’ motions alleging an actual conflict.

And how will that address her perjuring herself?

yeah, but what about the lying under oath and on court documents?

No way if she does get a conviction, this survives an appeal.

How does this remove the impropriety issue? The impropriety has already been done. It’s 100 percent a part of this case and a part of the Fulton Co DA’s office. You can’t just fire the guy she was fricking and benefiting financially and say we removed the impropriety, all good now.
