The key witness for attorneys seeking to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis disavowed texts he sent claiming knowledge of Willis’ relationship with a prosecutor she hired, instead ascribing it all to “speculating.”

Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ordered Terrence Bradley to appear on Tuesday, after finding that attorney-client privilege did not bar him from testifying about his knowledge of when Willis’ relationship with Nathan Wade began without violating attorney-client privilege.

But for defense attorneys hoping that Bradley would contradict Willis and Wade’s claim that their relationship began before he was hired, it was a flop. Bradley said he didn’t recall much of what he was asked, claimed that he only spoke with Wade about his romantic relationship with Willis once, and dismissed his earlier claims to mere speculation.

    So if one witness says that the “relationship” started earlier, and Willis and Wade says it didn’t - who is the judge to believe? Are we going to get into the weeds of when a “relationship” starts? Are they going to determine the first time they went to dinner or the first time they had sex?

  3. Judge is dragging this on for personal benefit more so then Willis having romance.

    some of these old farts love this stuff.

  5. So…third party speculation based on the word of a disgruntled ex-employee, and some fart in a suit is going to try to make a fire out of thin air.

    Money. What would they do without it.
