Exclusive Text Messages Surface

  • 📱 Exclusive text messages between lawyer Ashleigh Merchant and witness Terrance Bradley are revealed, providing new insights into the Fani Willis-Nathan Wade relationship.
  • 🤥 Bradley, a former law partner and friend of Wade, is accused of lying repeatedly on the stand, contradicting his earlier statements to Merchant.
  • 🏛️ The texts suggest the affair between Willis and Wade began prior to Willis hiring Wade to prosecute Donald Trump, a claim both have denied under oath.

Bradley's Testimony and Text Contradictions

  • ❓ Bradley repeatedly claimed he couldn't recall details on the stand, despite having exchanged specific information with Merchant via text just weeks prior.
  • 📝 In one exchange, Bradley confirmed to Merchant that the relationship started when Willis left the DA's office and was a judge, and that they met at a Municipal Court CLE conference.
  • 🗣️ He also directed Merchant to include him in a footnote regarding his earnings from the DA's office, indicating his involvement and knowledge.

Deeper Revelations from Text Exchanges

  • ✈️ Texts indicate Bradley knew about trips taken by Willis and Wade, with one exchange suggesting the affair was ongoing as far back as 2019, referencing an office in Evans.
  • 🤫 Bradley also advised Merchant on how to approach the case, suggesting Willis and Wade would deny the affair and not attack her.
  • 🧐 He expressed shock at the amount paid to Wade, questioning how they thought they wouldn't get caught.

Georgia Senate Investigation and Legal Ramifications

  • 📜 The Georgia State Senate has issued a subpoena to Ashleigh Merchant for all her text communications related to the case, indicating a broader investigation into Willis's conduct.
  • ⚖️ Phil Holloway explains that text messages can be used as substantive evidence in Georgia, as prior inconsistent statements, potentially allowing the judge to base rulings on them.
  • 📉 Holloway believes the texts provide a solid basis for the judge to rule against Willis, potentially leading to the disqualification of the prosecution team.

Concerns Over Prosecutor's Role and Witness Credibility

  • ❓ Special prosecutor Anna Cross, who initially handled Bradley's testimony, is notably absent from recent filings and court appearances, raising questions about her involvement.
  • 🤥 Holloway and Kelly suggest that multiple officers of the court may have lied under oath, necessitating an independent investigation into the matter.
