Fani Willis and Nathan Wade are ‘saving democracy’ — through corruption

The best way to save democracy, it seems, is by spending taxpayer dollars on cruises with your boss/girlfriend.

At least, that was the approach of Trump special prosecutor and Fulton County DA Fani Willis’ alleged paramour Nathan Wade.

Wade spent north of $6,000 on travelto places like Arubain October and November 2022 alone, records from his ugly divorce case reveal — and he paid for plane tickets for Willis, clearly intending her to fly with him on at least some of the lavish trips.

So, to recap: Staunch and incorruptible defender of the republic Willis hires Wade,an attorney withzero experience in complex RICO cases like hers against Trump,to prosecute the former president for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

A day later, he files for divorce from his wife (leaving her destitute, she says).

Willis saw that Wade got paid more per hour than the state’s leading RICO prosecutor, i.e., a man who actually knows what he’s doing.

Wade racks up almost $700,000 on the taxpayers’ dime.

And kicks fat chunks of it back to Willis in the form of romantic getaways for two.

This after Willis thundered in 2020 that any such workplace romance was beyond the pale.

It’s clear she knows that what she and Wade were allegedly getting up to is dead wrong — as would anyone with the moral compass of a 10-year-old — despite her lame efforts to play the race card.

But that’s how it goes with our tribunes of the people.

They’re in the anti-Trump game for headlines, like Russiagate hype-man Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) or the guy now filling his (clown) shoes, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.).

Or the ratings-based moolah, like CNN and MSNBC.

Not because they love their country. In many cases, quite the opposite.

But because it’s all about them, them, them.
