    They’re saying that the appointment itself was improper.

      Which removing the appointed prosecutor would render moot, which they’ve already done.

      Their argument is that the case was only brought so that the prosecutor would be hired and then kick back money to the DA. It’s laughable on its face.

      Yeah, I could see it as a conflict if she only appointed him after they started dating, but Willis testified vehemently that they only started their relationship after she appointed him. She said the witness who claimed otherwise was either lying or misremembering. I guess it comes down to who should be believed, and while I would never blindly believe any officer of the state, I think she has more credibility than Trump and his defense team.
