22/ Hallerman:

Wade said it’s inaccurate to say money he used for travel was all paid for by Fulton County or the state. He said he made a significant % of his income through his private practice. In 2022, half his income came from his firm, he said, and 40% in 2023.

21/ Gillen: You got money from Fulton County for work you do?

Wade: Yes.

Gillen: And that money is paid through public funds?

Wade: I take issue w/ idea I'm being paid by citizens of Fulton County...I get a check from the county

20/ Wade: No, didn't read part in which authors talked to her about financial situation.

Gillen: So Willis talked to those reporters about her financial situation but not you?

Wade: Willis made clear that her financial situation is her business...I don't know about it.

19/ Gillen: Did you talk to Willis about her financial situation?

Wade: No

Gillen: Have you read "Find me the Votes" by
@Isikoff

@dklaidman
?

Wade: Parts.

Gillen: Did you read the part in which Willis talks to the authors about her dire financial situation prior to her election?

11/ Court's back in session. #FaniWillis #Georgia

Honestly, it's been so tedious and annoying to watch, it's not worth threading word for word. I'll fill you in when I see some good reporting.

Again, here's the link to LIVE FEED:

10/ Court is on break til 1 pm ET

Hallerman:

"Our relationship wasn’t a secret. It was just private," Wade said of his relationship with Willis.

8/ Okay, I’m now watching the #Georgia hearing on #FaniWillis, but will take a break to, you know, do stuff I gotta do.

But for now:

Via Emptywheel:

Whatever happens with this Nate Wade hearing, Judge McAfee has definitely established he's unflappable.

7/ Hallerman:

Wade insist he didn't start relationship w Willis til early ‘22. ..after they met at judicial conf in Oct 2019 he spoke w her on phone 2-3 times in '19. She'd ask him q since she was new. Indic they bonded as jurists of color

Merchant pressed Wade about how he split travel $ w Willis. (He said they did roughly evenly in affidavit) He provided receipt of flight Willis paid for. Wade says that's the only record he has but could be others. Said Willis paid for other things in cash

6/ Bower:

Merchant: How did Willis reimburse you?

Wade: In cash.

At this, David Shafer laughs out loud.

Judge McAfee shuts him down, tells him he'll have to leave if keeps it up.

5/ Via Kyle Cheney:

WADE has been sworn in and is now on the stand. He's being questioned by Ashleigh Merchant, attorney for Mike Roman.

This entire sequence is damaging for Willis and her office. She had hoped to stave off the entire proceeding, and then to quash subpoenas for her and Wade. So far she's 0 for 2 and Wade is being pressed for details about his truthfulness about his relationship with Willis.

4/ AGAIN, HERE’S THE LIVE STREAM:

3/ Via Kyle Cheney:

Nathan WADE has been ordered by the judge to testify, now that a witness has contradicted his timeline of events. #Georgia

[Wade is on the stand now]

2/ Hallerman:

Yeartie confirms that she resigned from the DA's office after being written up for poor performance. Said she never spoke to Willis after leaving the DA's office

Again, dipping into #Georgia #FaniWillis hearing.

Via Stephen Fowler:

Robin Yeartie, a longtime friend of Fulton DA Fani WIllis, says in court that Willis and Nathan Wade were in a personal relationship some time late 2019, after the pair met at a judicial conference.

She also said she saw Willis/Wade kissing, hugging, being affectionate.

A *CBS news anchor* asks "is it just about the science if the science hasnt changed?" and says "it sounds like corporations are just trying to get us to go back to work" on the CDC trying to *weaken* infection control guidelines for corporate america and the DoD.

I thought this interview would be hostile and that CBS would attack the Harvard doc, but no. This is good.

People complain about #SovereignCitizens, but you know what, they bother me a lot less than state level #secessionists. Sovereign citizens have issues with logistics and universalizability, but at the end of the day they just want to be left alone, and they're going it alone when they do that, so I can respect it.

People who talk about state level secession are talking about dragging everyone else around them through the logistical nightmare, one which they fail to even seem to recognize, of decoupling from a massive country without devolving into a third world country, especially since a lot of these states are heavily reliant on the federal government.

That's even before the fact that the last time people got those states to secede they murdered a bunch of people, set up dictatorships, and started a crazy war.

At least a #SovereignCitizen's decisions don't reach far beyond themselves.

TIL the Czech Republic leases two lots in Hamburg harbor under the Versailles Treaty. the lease will expire in 2028.

"Donald Trump makes a mockery of the Constitution. His determination to put the 14th Amendment in the trashcan of history should draw the most concern."

So says Clarence Lusane. And he's right.

But it should not escape notice that millions of Americans — Republicans — stand right with Trump as he trashes the Constitution.

And they're aided and abetted by "liberal" pundits.
