It’s now obvious that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis broke state law, Fulton County code and numerous professional-conduct rules in hiring Nathan Wade as her special prosecutor in the Georgia election interference case against Donald Trump.
When spotted by The Post on Thursday, Nathan Wade did not deny having an affair with his boss, DA Willis.
The fact that neither Willis nor Wade is denying the allegations is damning.
Michael Roman, one of Trump’s 18 co-defendants, filed a motion this week accusing the co-prosecutors of having an “improper” and “clandestine” relationship.
County records show DA Willis alone authorized Wade’s compensation, which reached almost $700,000 in 2021-2022.
And she appointed him special prosecutor though he had zero experience prosecuting a complex racketeering case like the one against Trump & Co.
In a newly unearthed interview, she gushed over Wade as her “personal mentor,” a “meaningful person” who persuaded her to run for the DA job.
A public official who hires her lover/mentor for high six-figure post is crooked.
So where’s the Willis investigation?
Last spring, Gov. Brian Kemp signed a new law establishing an eight-member commission to investigate and remove district attorneys for sufficient cause.
Willis’ blatant breaches of ethics plainly require the new State Prosecuting Attorneys Statewide Qualifications Commission to act ASAP.
Happily, Gov. Kemp’s objectivity here is obvious: He’s an arch-villain in Trump World for having utterly resisted the then-president’s demand that he “fix” Georgia’s 2020 results.
Willis and the voters who elected her deserve a fair investigation — but a rapid one: The facts already in the public record show she’s brought her office into disrepute and must go.
