She hasn't claimed any other legitimate work. She has claimed she stashed some campaign funds, but that is to be used for campaigning, not personal vacations, condos, cabins, etc.
What is being asserted is she overpaid Wade so he could give her a kickback from taxpayer funds, and possibly from covid grants (a felony) either in the form of cash or vacations, etc. This is why she is saying she paid him back for anything he spent in her name. She's a DA after all. She knows what she did was felonious.
She makes enough that she doesn't need to. The amounts mentioned in the case (so far) are just for three vacation trips, one of which she testified to having treated him. She doesn't have to explain a million dollar property or investment here--probably more like 10-20k.
What is being asserted is she overpaid Wade...
It doesn't sound like Wade was too happy with what he's made on the case (having to work hours he can't bill) and the former Governor's testimony seemed to make it clear this wouldn't be a profitable case (a resume builder at best). The 24 hour day is improbable but some people do go all out, or could be chalked up to clerical error.
I think it's pretty clear they are going out of their way to hide the fact they were dating before Wade was hired, and their testimony has been a wreck so far, but I'm not sure they've actually cleared the bar to prove she profited. At least from what I've seen.
It doesn't make sense that someone at that income level would go to that trouble and career risk for a free few vacations, on a case certain to bring the utmost national attention.
There has to be more than what we're seeing.
She has claimed she stashed some campaign funds...
Yup there's a crime there, though it seems impeachment would have to be the avenue to fix that. Or a Federal investigation.
The amounts are small enough they could be from legitimate work.
