Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a complaint asking for the disbarment of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over her relationship with a prosecutor she hired for her Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump.

On social media, Greene said she was filing the complaint to disbar Willis “for her corrupt actions.”

Willis “should’ve been removed from her political persecution of President Trump after it was revealed she went on lavish vacations with her lover Nathan Wade,” Greene wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

“The lover she paid HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of dollars! Unfit to serve!”

    From everything I’ve read/heard about this, it does sound like a bit of a nothing burger. Overblown for political ends. But I think saying “coworker” is a bit intellectually dishonest. A big part of the allegation is that they were involved, and then she hires him. Concerns of abuse of power, misuse of funds, and conflicts of interest. The judge’s ruling seems fair. To opponents, dismissing it in this way has the appearance of strawmanning. If you already have a strong argument, you only hurt your position long run
