Judge McAfee's decision on Fani Willis and Nathan Wade's conflict of interest imminent: Judge McAfee will decide if there's a real conflict or just an appearance for Fani Willis and Nathan Wade in Trump investigation. Lawyers for Mike Roman testified before Georgia MAGA GOP, adding complexity with potential violation of professional conduct rules.
The fate of Fani Willis, the Fulton County District Attorney, and her special prosecutor Nathan Wade in the ongoing investigation of Donald Trump rests with Judge McAfee, who will decide whether there is an actual conflict of interest or if there is merely an appearance of impropriety. Meanwhile, Mike Roman's lawyers, including Ashley Merchant, have testified before Republican MAGA GOP leaders in Georgia, mirroring the phony hearings Trump attempted during his efforts to hold onto power. The irony of Ashley Merchant's involvement is not lost, especially considering the legal troubles Rudy Giuliani, who led those efforts, currently faces. The potential violation of professional conduct rules for lawyers in this situation adds another layer of complexity to the situation. We'll have to wait for Judge McAfee's ruling, expected later next week.

The ethics of several individuals involved in the Fulton County District Attorney's office are under scrutiny. Ashley Merchant, a witness in the R. Kelly case, is facing allegations of trying to improperly influence the outcome of the case by testifying before right-wing groups. An ethics investigation was opened against Fani Willis, the Fulton County District Attorney, for potentially violating ethics rules by hiring and having a relationship with a former prosecutor, Nathan Wade. However, the ethics committee did not have jurisdiction over a constitutional officer like Willis, and the hearing was postponed. The investigations highlight the importance of maintaining ethical standards in the legal system and the potential consequences when those standards are perceived to be breached. The allegations have fueled controversy and raised questions about the impartiality of the legal proceedings in Fulton County.

Bar investigations: Private proceedings for lawyer misconduct: Bar investigations are confidential, handled by state bar associations, result in various consequences for lawyer misconduct, and involve a prosecution-defense dynamic
Bar investigations are confidential proceedings where a lawyer faces charges for potential violations of their state's code of professional responsibility. These investigations are not public hearings, but rather private matters handled by a bar investigator and a judge-like body within the state bar association. The lawyer has the right to representation, creating a prosecution-defense dynamic. The potential consequences range from no violation findings to reprimands, suspensions, remedial programs, and even disbarment. The bar association is the sole regulatory body for lawyer ethics. For prosecutorial misconduct, complaints should be made to the prosecutor's council, which is responsible for determining the next prosecutor in case of removal.
