Manny Arora is an atty who reps defendant-turned-witness #KennethChesebro.
McAfee seemed unlikely to allow new evidence last wk, it’s gone on long enough & the defense (who are acting like prosecution) ought to have submitted all relevant evidence at the start or at least the initial stages.
#FultonCounty defendant David Shafer w/a new witness, CobbCounty co-chief dpy DA Cindi Lee Yeager, whom he says had convos w/ #TerrenceBradley between 8/23-1/24. Says she can corroborate that DA #FaniWillis & #NathanWade were in a relationship earlier than acknowledged.
Sadow, #Trump’s attorney, is a much better lawyer than Merchant. He’s not getting objections & his examination of #TerrenceBradley is making Bradley appear to be less than truthful under oath.
Okay this bit below is so outrageously ridiculous that it makes everything #TerrenceBradley says in the texts incredible (as in not credible) ➘
“When contacted Thurs morning, a lawyer for #NathanWade, Andrew Evans, said that ‘the texts contain several outright lies.’ Among them, Evans said, was an assertion from Bradley that either Evans or his wife, Stacey Evans, a Democratic state rep, had witnessed Wade & #FaniWillis having sex.”
When Merchant was writing the motion to disqualify the prosecutors, she assured Bradley that “I protected you completely. I kept you out of it.”
Merchant also told Bradley that she was becoming president of the #Georgia Assn of #Criminal Defense Lawyers & wanted him to become more involved in the group, incl’g by becoming a prgm director for an upcoming seminar.
#Sadow: All you have to find is a legitimate concern over their truthfulness about the timing of their relationship & that rises to the level of an appearance of impropriety.
Sadow: #TerrenceBradley texted w/ #AMerchant for months. He told her they "absolutely" dated before #NathanWade was appointed. Bradley, unprompted, texts to Merchant that "it started when she left the DA's Office & was a judge in south Fulton." Bradley definitively told AMerchant that it started before Wade was appointed.
#Mcafee: So if we agree that Bradley didn't give truthful testimony on the stand, & other than his assertion "absolutely" to Merchant what else do you have here? You usually have something that locks in when that person is telling the lie versus when they're telling the truth.
After a break the State of Georgia the office of [#DA#FaniWillis] is up now.
[Willis is seated at counsel's table.]
DA: #TerrenceBradley did not impeach anyone, including #Wade. Any of Bradley's testimony was improper impeachment because it did not confront Wade in any way. Maybe Bradley lied to #AMerchant. Yeartie told her atty she had no info about the relationship.
DA: The standard for DQ requires the defense to show an actual conflict of interest that Willis received a financial benefit.
#McAfee to #AMerchant: Wasn't there a promise made by you that Bradley would impeach specific witnesses?
#Georgia#DA: Yes, that's what was represented to the Court. AMerchant represented that #TerrenceBradley would be an “impeaching machine" but he wasn't able to impeach anyone.
DA: Bradley was asked "do you think it started before Willis hired Wade"? His answer of
"absolutely" was based on the "do you think" part of the question. The question itself asked Bradley to speculate.
