Darrius "Sweetdick" Honeycum Is Scheduled to Testify About His Affair with Fani Willis and Connections to the Biden Administration Today -- But He's Gone Missing
Apparently he's hiding so that Congressional Republicans can't serve him a subpoena.
House Republicans planned to escalate their investigation into Nathan Wade, a former special prosecutor in Fulton County, Georgia, by subpoenaing him to appear for a deposition this week, but Wade appears to be missing in action.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) had ordered Wade in a subpoena, reviewed by the Washington Examiner, to appear Thursday for the closed-door interview as part of the committee's investigation into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis's prosecution of former President Donald Trump.
However, Wade has been unresponsive to the subpoena, and his silence has led Jordan to take the unusual step of asking the U.S. Marshals Service to try to locate Wade in Georgia to serve him, according to a committee spokesperson.
"Nathan Wade's evasion of service is extremely unusual and will require the Committee to spend U.S. tax dollars to locate him," the spokesperson said in a statement.
A Republican lawyer familiar with the matter said that the U.S. Marshals Service has not been able to find Wade and that "at this point, we know he's trying to avoid service." The lawyer called Wade's actions "clearly dilatory."
Wade's law office did not respond to a request for comment from the Washington Examiner.
Wade's apparent avoidance of the subpoena comes after two onetime advisers to former President Donald Trump, Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, were imprisoned this year, each with four-month sentences, for failing to comply with House-issued subpoenas relating to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
...
Jordan's attempt to subpoena Wade comes after the Georgia lawyer backed out of appearing voluntarily for a scheduled interview last week at the last minute after initially agreeing to the appearance in July, according to a letter Jordan wrote to Wade.
The chairman said Wade's attorney contacted the committee five days before Wade's scheduled appearance to say that Wade had to postpone his appearance indefinitely based on instructions Wade received from Willis's attorney Roy Barnes.
"The eleventh-hour intervention from District Attorney Willis does not excuse your failure to appear for your transcribed interview," Jordan wrote.
If you see Sweetdick, or his "law partners," Lance Clamhammer or Rex DeQuim, contact the US Marshall's service at once.
The "Party of Law and Order," everyone. "The Party of Norms."
Hey everybody, let's get it up for The Party of Defending Our Precious Democracy! Come on! Let's hear some cheers!
Some accounts are saying that Wade has been found and duly served. But they don't link any news story for this, they just say it themselves. I don't know.
