That is certainly one possibility.
Let me suggest one thing... Other than lying about when his relationship with Willis began, Wade really did nothing wrong. It was Willis, as the District Attorney, who had the responsibility for complying with regulations governing the conduct of the office.
Sure, Wade slept with the boss. Sure, Wade got a contract he was unqualified for. Sure, Wade went on trips with Willis and paid for the bulk of the costs. But for Wade, that wasn't illegal -- for Willis it was.

appearance of conflict hurdle has been cleared by MILES.
No, Wade was an officer of the court, his standard is explicitly higher -- he could not accept a prosecutorial position "Special Assistant Attorney General" from his girlfriend in order to 'wash' those funds between himself, Fani, and a cast of dumb thugs.
One of the defense attorneys was summing up all the conflicts of interest in the case. The last one was amazing. If the court (judge) believes that Nathan Wade or Terrence Bradley committed perjury, then their cases need to be investigated and brought before a jury. Who would be responsible to do this? Why, none other than the Fulton County District Attorney!
