The misconduct investigation began Friday against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, the woke DA who brought the election interference case against former President Donald Trump.
State Sen. Bill Cowsert (R) chaired a meeting of the Georgia Senate Special Committee on Investigations. He revealed incredible information that multiple whistleblowers from Willis' office have come forward to testify against their boss.
The senator alleged that Willis misused the state and federal funds, which comes after she admitted to having a sexual relationship with Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor she hired and who had no experience in the type of case he was hired for--RICO cases.
"This is not a political witch hunt; this is a quest for the truth," Cowsert said at Friday's meeting, as reported by FOX 5 Atlanta.
Trump and attorneys also agree that Willis needs to be disqualified over the allegations, and believes that all charges against them be dismissed.

Last month, Michael Roman, a co-defendant in the case, filed court documents alleging that Willis had been having an "improper" affair with Wade, whom she hired to help prosecute Trump and others. Roman and his lawyers argue that the relationship with the married Wade created a conflict of interest. Moreover, Willis benefitted financially from the relationship with expensive vacations she and Wade too using the legal funds her office paid his firm.
Golly gee, it sort of sounds reminiscent of the Biden family situation.
Willis has called the allegations "salacious" and said they have no "merit," though she admitted in a court filing that she and Wade have been "professional associates and friends since 2019."
House Republicans have now subpoenaed Willis to testify on separate allegations that she misused federal funds and fired a whistleblower in her office. Responding, her office said, "These false allegations are included in baseless litigation filed by a holdover employee from the previous administration who was terminated for cause. The courts that have ruled found no merit in these claims. We expect the same result in any pending litigation."
Georgia Republicans are leading their own investigation over the objections of Democrats who say Willis' critics are politically motivated. [Democrats would defend the late Osama bin Laden if he had been a Democrat.]
"I think a political witch hunt or show trial would damage Georgians' faith in both our political and legal system," Democratic state Sen. Gloria Butler said, according to FOX 5 Atlanta.
But Republicans have moved the case forward.
"You lose the confidence of the public and the fairness of the criminal justice system if they think prosecutors are engaged in prosecution so their lovers can get rich," Cowsert said, and indicated that Willis may be called on to testify to the committee. "It's not a given. I will certainly give her the opportunity, and if I were her, I would want to be heard," he said.
