I didn't understand how their relationship created a conflict of interest

She and her boyfriend bought each other stuff while she was directing her office to hire and pay him for legal work. It's not hard to see how this looks like she could be using her authority to direct public funds into her own pocket with her boyfriend serving as an intermediary.

The Guardian has the full ruling if you'd like to read it:

It takes a lot of courage to stand up to Trump and his $50 million legal lackeys.

They will stop at nothing to get delays--realizing he is 110% guilty if brought to trial.

The states' cases are important. Trump's appointees can't rule he's immune. The path to justice has been cleared.

Willis reeks of corruption. Judge calls it “odor of mendacity“

Fortunately for the citizens of Georgia, it doesn’t appear she was trying to enrich herself from this arrangement, as misguided as it may have been. And it didn’t serve to prejudice anything against Trump.

It speaks badly for Georgia if they allow her to continue knowing her total unethical behavior. Unless that’s what they want.

She has had an extraordinary career fighting organized crime. Perhaps her daring independent streak has contributed to her success.

I am glad the case will continue with a different prosecutor.

And I am glad the judge was wise enough to realize the exceptional urgency of this case and the potential danger of allowing the defendant continue his crime spree in the future.

What unethical behavior?

She hired her lover as prosecutor and tried to hide it. Why was she and Wade lying about their relationship?

Imagine you were working as a prosecutor for the DA and along comes a high profile case loaded with money and fame. The DA selects her secret lover for the case instead of you.
Theres nothing unethical about that?
Not only does she collect the cash and fame, but so does her secret lover.
They get over on everyone. Not.
Personally, I think they planned the whole thing before hand.

Why are you using the word lover instead of ex-boyfriend?

To me the why isn't as important as the fact she lied under oath--committed perjury. She should be swiftly prosecuted and disbarred.

If you're going to try a political hit job on a prosecutor, be sure you finish the job.

It's not a hit job, it's justice. We need judges who will uphold the law and not worry about pandering to their Democrat colleagues. These cases against Trump continue to break down because they are unprecedented cases of trying to twist the law--where normal legal procedures are abandoned.

Wade resigned because he knew he was caught lying. if the hearing had shown credibility, he’d still be on the case.

They both lied, both should have been booted. But the judge would have to explain to his Democrat colleagues why he didn't to everything he could to get Trump and why he had a black female removed.
