Fani Willis' Lawyer Adam Abbate Spewing Word Salad, Attacking Witnesses Without A Coherent Theory

The misconduct hearings on efforts to oust Fulton County DA Fani Willis from the Trump RICO case have come to a close. Both sides delivered final arguments Friday, each arguing where the bar should be set for the judge's looming disqualification decision. The defense is arguing that the undisclosed affair between Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade, the Democrat district attorney's subordinate, constitutes a conflict of interest because she tapped her longtime lover to helm the prosecution. Meanwhile, the couple claims the affair started after she hired him in November 2021, but witness testimony from a former Willis staffer, Wade's cellphone data depicting late-night shenanigans, and texts sent by Wade's ex-divorce attorney say otherwise. Trump defense attorney Steve Sadow said an "appearance of impropriety" is "enough" to disqualify her under Georgia law. Trump’s lawyer Steven Sadow shows Adam Abbate how closing arguments are done. 🔥

Deputy DA Adam Abbate, who's defending Willis, asserted that appearance alone is insufficient and that an "actual" conflict of interest has to be established, citing legal precedent. Although the examples Abbate cited relied on appearance, he indicated it was secondary to the court finding "actual conflict" in each disqualification case. Abbate called the disqualification efforts "a desperate attempt to remove a prosecutor from a case for absolutely no reason, other than harassment and embarrassment."

Incredibly painful. Abbate is just spewing word salad, he's not making sense, he's also just attacking witnesses left and right without a coherent theory of which testimony is believable and which isn't. He said the defense's line of questioning intended to "impugn her character." There's "absolutely no evidence that the district attorney has benefited at all," Abbate asserted, contending that the burden of proving prosecutorial misconduct has not been met. "There's absolutely no evidence that the defendants […] their due process rights, have been harmed in absolutely any way." Fani Willis lawyer Adam Abbate is so horrible and an embarrassment. 🧐😬🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♀️

Compared to Sadow's calm and composed demeanor, Abbate was, at times, a fumbling mess reciting case law. Willis, who was passing notes to Abbate and signaling with nods, "looked like she wanted to jump up and argue this case herself," per WaPo. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/03/01/fani-willis-hearing-trump-georgia-case/ -- Look at the way veteran attorney Steve Sadow is looking at this idiot. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GHnJLmwXcAEdNGD?format=jpg&name=large -- Abbate argued that prosecutors should not be held to the same standard as judges or juries when it comes to the appearance of impropriety. "The public prosecutor is necessarily a partisan in the case," Abbate said. If they were, "then there would never be a criminal prosecution because the state is always going to appear biased as it relates to getting justice for the victims," he stated.
