Fani Willis' mouth in the GA State Senate probe may get her into actual trouble

Fulton County District Attorney Fani [aka Fanny] Willis made headlines on Friday when the state senate Special Committee held its third hearing into allegations of possible conflicts of interest and misuse of taxpayer funds by Willis. Specifically, the Committee is investigating multiple scandals over her relationship with the special prosecutor, Nathan Wade, she originally hired in the Trump election case, and with whom was bumping uglies. [H/T NY Post.]

Both Willis and Wade admitted to the relationship, although they denied it took place before she hired him. The evidence that came out in the judge's probe on the matter was basically conclusive that they were already having an affair (Wade was married at the time) but the witness and friend of Wade who knew it existed, suddenly developed amnesia. 

Georgia Sen. Bill Cowsert (R) asked financial officers about the many “enhancement requests” for extra money Willis has made, including one for roughly a million dollars in 2023 for general trial expenses. Fulton County Chief Financial Officer Sharon Whitmore said the money was a "lump sum not specific with line item details," in explaning what it was used for, according to the Washington Examiner.

Cowsert wanted to understand just how much "oversight" there was in Willis' office saying that it “sounds like it’s very loose as far as employment practices and expenditures for independent contractors.” He also criticized Willis for going after former President Trump in spite of the backlog of actual criminal cases that her office needed to address. He added that they likely would be calling her in the near future.

 

“She’s [Willis] a key part of the investigation and her viewpoints are valued by us. We need to hear what she has to say and her explanation and what she thinks the appropriate rules ought to be going forward so that we don’t have this kind of scandal giving Georgia a black eye in the future,” said Cowsert.

Cowsert said they would subpoena her, if necessary, if she did not comply with their request.

Willis skipped the hearing but responded, claiming, “They can look all they want. The DA’s office has done everything according to the books.”

While attending a community event on Friday, Willis pulled out her tattered Race Card once again.  “Isn’t it interesting when we’ve got a bunch of African American DAs, now we need daddy to tell us what to do.” This crap is getting progressively weaker and people are fed up with being labeled a racist when holding others to normal standards. 

It's very possible the judge on this case, who already ripped her a new one over her racist "church speech," is not going to be happy with that comment. But people with poor excuses and verbal skills tend to pull the Race Card when they have no actual defense. 

If ever anyone might reminds us of a DEI hire, Fani Willis is the poster woman. As Tim Fargo once said, "arrogance is the camouflage of insecurity." Willis is clearly arrogant but has nothing to justify that attitude.

Willis is also facing a probe by the House looking into her office's alleged misuse of federal grant funds after a whistleblower came forward. Willis has claimed the whistleblower is a "disgruntled employee." 

I would be surprised if there is even one 'gruntled' employee in her office.

GA whistleblowers to testify against Fulton County DA Fani Willis

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.
