I'm not sure we are talking about the same person.

In February 2019, Eisen was appointed consultant to the United States House Committee on the Judiciary. He assisted the committee on oversight matters related to the Department of Justice, including impeachment, and other oversight and policy issues within the committee's jurisdiction.[44] A columnist at The Washington Post called Eisen a "critical force in building the case for impeachment."[45] Eisen later wrote a book about his time as special counsel.[46]

With Colby Galliher, Eisen co-authored a book entitled, Overcoming Trumpery, which was published by Brookings Institution Press in 2022.[47][7]

Eisen was a co-founder of the States United Democracy Center in 2021[48] and serves today as its executive chair.[49] In his States United capacity, he signed a bar complaint against John C. Eastman[50] and an ethics complaint filed against Jenna Ellis[51] for their roles in undermining the 2020 election results. He served as co-counsel on an amicus brief filed in opposition to Lindsey Graham's motion to quash a subpoena in the Fulton County Special Grand Jury investigation of attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.[52] Eisen has co-written reports for States United including a guide to the Electoral College vote count and the January 6, 2021, meeting of Congress

Now just maybe, he's clutching at his pearls a bit to tightly but his opinion should always be considered.

Judge has set 2/2 for DA Willis to respond to disqualification allegations

1 problem for notorious criminal defendant Michael Roman seeking this relief:

The law does not support it

I explain below & in this THREAD👇

First, under GA law a romantic relationship between lawyers is *never* sufficient grounds for disqual

That’s true even if they’re lawyers on opposite sides of a case where the risk of a “conflict” is vastly greater than co-counsel

2/5

Second, GA law is very specific about when a Special Prosecutor's financial interests create a conflict: they must receive a financial reward for a conviction

But Wade has nothing to financially gain from a Roman conviction!

Roman argues that Willis & Wade are *prolonging* the prosecution so Wade can bill more hours - a stretch of the imagination to say the least

But GA courts have never recognized that argument, which would apply to every single Special Prosecutor

(4/5)

And contrary to Roman's argument, Trump and his allies have criticized Willis for allegedly *rushing* this case to trial, not prolonging it

You can't have it both ways
