And the lawyer that was hired WAS a lawyer. So how can he not be qualified?

Again, this is all assertions with zero evidence. It's what Trump does. But you always believe him, don't you?

We'll see what actual proof there is.
I do not you are nearly as stupid as you look in your previous statement.
So any lawyer is qualified because they are all equal.
If you are going after a former president who is also an alleged billionaire. Who could start a legal defense fund anytime he wants or needs to. One that would give him unlimited funds to fight any charges charges.
Wouldn't you only hire people who have experience and are qualified to pursue such a case.

The fact that she didn't shows she is either

Incompetent and in way over her head
Hired a personal friend for personal gain.
Is looking to enrich herself in the future

But of course you have no ability to look at any democrat especially a minority objectively.


So why do you think she hired and paid 675 000 to a lawyer with zero experience

Because she hired her boyfriend who had no experience and paid him 675,000.
Then benefitted from that hire by going on lavish vacations.
While there is no evidence of quid pro quo with Thomas. As his wealthy friend never had any business before the court.

Now that I answered your question answer my question.

If these allegations are true will that make you believe and/or state here that she is corrupt.

His wealthy friends always had LOTS of business before the courts. They were court activists.

That’s like saying that, if I gave millions to a justice, and he happened to rule in favor of unions, that I had no business before the court.

It’s corrupt to take money like that, Glenn. Every other judge in all the lower courts would be removed from office, and most would be jailed.

If the allegations about Willis turn out to be true will you consider her to be corrupt?

I’ll wait to get the facts. Again, I’m not seeing anything illegal or, really, corrupt. At worst it’s an HR thing. These are adults.

I mean, is it corruption that Trump’s dating his lead counsel?

So even if she hired her unqualified lover, paid him 675000 and personally benefited you don't see anything unethical, corrupt or illegal.

But, Clarence Thomas is corrupt for having a generous wealthy friend who has never had a case before the court.

You really don't see your double standard or hypocrisy.

More proof of the corruption liberals want to ignore.
Thos is what happens when a county prosecutor gets out of their lane in pursuit of fame and fortune.

A County Prosecutor in a county with a larger population than many states.

We'll see what the judge says - there's going to be a hearing. I'm having a hard time seeing illegality.

But it's hilarious how you say Clarence Thomas did no wrong in accepting millions of dollars in gifts from political operatives, but that this is horrible.

Democratic leader says that Willis should step aside.
Of course you have no problem with corrupt democrats.
This reminds me of how you used to defend Menendez.
She hired her unqualified boyfriend and paid him $650,000.
You say no problem
She benefited from that money by going on two trips she could not afford.
You say no problem
What we are waiting to see if those trips were paid for out of his personal which would mean it wss an indirect benefit. However if it were paid directly from tax payer funds they both need to be charged.
I haven't looked up Fulton County population but it isn't more than many states. As you claim.

Larger population than six states.

Still wondering how you have a problem with someone spending money as they wish that they are paid.

While saying that Clarence Thomas can get free RVs from political operatives.

Reverse that and ask why getting a gift from a wealthy friend is corrupt.
But
Giving your unqualified boyfriend a $675000 job. Then having him take you on trips you can't afford with that money is not corrupt.

Is there anything a democrat can do that you won't defend.

If the money for those trips came directly from taxpayer funds. They are both guilty of multiple crimes.

There’s going to be a hearing - I’ll accept what the judge says. How about you?

And no, when you’re paid money for services rendered, you can spend it as you wish.

I will accept the final ruling.
However regardless of the ruling there us no doubt that hiring your unqualified boyfriend and paying him $675000 in taxpayer money is corrupt no matter the law

When my wife worked at FedEx, you could be terminated if you accepted gifts or trips from vendors or customers. It’s a conflict of interest. So Willis may indeed have some explaining to do.

But it’s okay for Clarence Thomas to accept quarter-million-dollar RV’s?

Yes because it was a gift from a friend who has had no business before the court.
None nada not a single case.
He simply has a wealthy friend

I don’t know. Depends upon the relationship between the parties and whether the donor has any business before the court. The quid pro quo question. There may also be ethical considerations for Justices that come into play. Clarence may have some explaining to do as well.

But from a person that funds conservative politics with millions upon millions of dollars. Who wants to see abortion overturned.

But that’s okay. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Let’s be clear: If he was a judge on any other level in our country, he’d be out of office and maybe in jail.

The quid-pro-quo is that it’s a conservative political funder to the tune of millions of dollars. He wants Thomas to rule as he does.

And if Thomas were a judge on any other level in this country, he’d be out of office and maybe in jail.

Well then Clarence has some explaining to do. So does Willis. Get it all out in the open and deal with it.

Except the Republicans don’t run everything. Last I checked, the Dems control the Senate and the Oval Office. You musta forgot about that.
