The continuing Saga of the Fani Willis / Nathan Wade Circus . . .
Willis had an affair with a subordinate. She used public funds to carry out that affair by paying her boyfriend a ridiculous salary considering his experience, and then took trips with him, which he reimbursed her for from his salary. And I am sure, if investigators dig deep enough they will find examples of her paying for dinners and other social events and charging them as business expenses. In the private sector, Fani would be fired instantly. She'd get a cardboard box to collect her things, maybe, and then escorted out of the building.
I know this because I have seen it many times in the corporate world. Companies take swift action to prevent it from becoming a bigger problem. I know of one case where our company was sued by the wife of an executive who was having an affair with a subordinate. They took business trips together on the company account. The wife sued the company for aiding and abetting the affair.
Sure there are affairs all the time in companies. And if the couple keeps it private and on their own time and money, most companies will let it go - but not for a boss and a subordinate. That is considered a "hostile work environment" for the other employees, especially if the boss favors his/her lover.
But, in this case, the governmor has been silent. He has taken no action thus far. The judge is at least looking like he is investigating, but in the end I do not believe Fani will suffer any consequences. The trial will go on.
