House Finally Tracks Down and Subpoenas Nathan Wade
The House Judiciary Committee was finally able to track down former prosecutor Nathan Wade.
The committee has been hunting him down for days to issue a subpoena to Wade regarding the committee’s investigation into the prosecution of Donald Trump.
Wade resigned from the case after it was revealed that he and Fulton County DA Fani Willis were having an affair.
Got Their Man
The subpoena, dated September 20, required Wade to be in court the following Thursday.
Wade was nowhere to be found, which led to Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) enlisting the services of the U.S. Marshals Service to track him down and serve him.
Wade reportedly received the subpoena on Thursday, but he was a no-show at the hearing. Jordan called Wade’s lack of response “clearly dilatory.”
Jordan believes Wade purposely avoided the subpoena until it was too late for him to do anything about it in terms of making arrangements to appear, but I doubt he will be getting off that easy with Jordan.
There are considerable questions to be answered about Wade’s role in the investigation and prosecution of Trump.
Republicans have zeroed in on the fact that Wade was being paid significantly more than an expert RICO attorney that Willis brought in just for this case.
All told, Wade pocketed about $700,000 for his time on the case, so there are questions if Willis brought him to create a paycheck or if she put this case together specifically to help Wade earn some of that government money.
I would suspect that Jordan will be back in touch with Wade to work out a time when he can go before the committee and testify, but that will have to be soon because time is running out right now.
Republicans in the House have spent two years on these investigations, turning up very little in terms of prosecutable offenses.
Most of this was done to show loyalty to Trump, but the American taxpayer is footing the bill for all of this, and I, for one, would like to see some results.
House Republicans made a lot of promises to conservatives when they took over the House, but they have yet to deliver on any of them.
It’s time for them to put their cards on the table, or they are going to have a lot of unhappy voters on their hands.
