As a lawyer I can say no ordinary lawyer could avoid censure or disbarment for hiring your boyfriend as special counsel at an inflated rate - then using those monies for personal travel and expendtures.
What's intriguing is that neither of them are attempting to deny the affair. That's not a good sign, because that's the key element that makes this an ethics problem and not just poor management by the district attorney's office.
It's hard to avoid the inference that first they got careless and then they got caught.
Well said! And “how big is the fire?” is the correct question!
I envision Joe Six-Pack on the street, hearing even just the basics of this unsavory scandal, and getting a disgusted look on his face. More big-shot lawyers ripping off the taxpayers, behaving badly, lying and covering up, being hypocritical, and thinking that just because they are Black they can get away with criminal behavior that would torpedo any white male’s career. The upshot of millions of Joe Six-Packs reacting that way? Millions more with yet another reason to vote for Trump!
Excellent summation of the facts.
BRAVO

Yeah, that's the epitome of conflict of interest.
