I am sure Trump was happy letting Merchant do the leg work, but to think they would have not raised all of the same issues she did even if she had not raised them is ludicrous. Again, her involvement was a side show to this case, which is all about Trump.Her client, for starters. And you, evidently, because you're hung up on the notion that Trump and not Merchant was driving this effort to disqualify Willis. And we know Merchant was in the driver's seat, because we know how it started. Well, maybe you don't, but it's publicly available information.
Obviously it is, because she can't get kickbacks from Wade if she didn't hire him, and she only hired him to help prosecute this case.
And your assertion of improper 'motive' is extremely far-fetched. She would likely have gotten the same alleged 'kickbacks' from him whether he were on the case or not, if she was in a relationship with him. They weren't alleging direct monetary payments, just things like paying for vacations. And again, it has zero to do with her motivations for prosecuting Trump, only in the alternate reality of the Trumpist cult does that make any sense. At most, it was a reason to take him off the case, and he was off the case. So what is the problem, is she can have another affair with another prosecutor handling the case? The whole thing is insane, but typical of the insanity that Trump has brought to our legal system.
