Fani Willis may have new problems she didn't anticipate

Fulton County District Attorney Fani (pronounced "Fanny") Willis somehow got past the disqualification process in the Georgia election case against President Trump and his co-defendants, but she isn't out of the proverbial woods yet. She is looking at multiple complaints from the Georgia state Senate, the state bar, and the House Judiciary Committee.

Moreover, there is a new accusation by the lawyer of one of the co-defendants, and that could spell some serious legal trouble for the woman who puts her dresses on backwards, much like she practices law: have a target [Trump], then find a crime.

In an interview with legal analyst and Townhall columnist Phil Holloway, and the lawyer for Trump's co-defendant Harrison Floyd, attorney Christopher Kachouroff alleges that Willis recorded a phone conversation between herself and one of his colleagues.

"She did reach out to us, one of my colleagues in Maryland, and was rude, abrupt with him on the phone, and he was dealing with the Maryland case and I was dealing with the Georgia case, and she ended up recording him," Kachouroff said.

The trouble for Willis is that she never told the other party that she was recording him.

He explained that Maryland is a "two party state," whereby both parties must consent to the recording. When asked by Holloway if he was saying that Willis illegally recorded the phone call, he said, "Oh, yes" and noted it was a felony in Maryland.

Floyd posted that part of the conversation:

Fani Willis ILLEGALLY recorded a 📞 call with my lawyer.

Its a felony!

She is a DEI thug with a law license.

Will anyone in GA stand up to her❓#fultoncounty #corrupt #Georgia pic.twitter.com/2ZPqckPVzD— Harrison Floyd 🇺🇸 (@hw_floyd) April 4, 2024

Holloway also noted that Floyd followed that up with another tweet calling on Willis to recuse herself by Monday, saying otherwise he would pursue legal remedies.

So far Willis' office has remained unresponsive for comment on this allegation. Perhaps she needs to kick it around in church to see what others think. She isn't very bright, it seems, but it appears that she intimidated Scott McAfee, the judge in the disqualification hearing that got her paramour, Nathan Wade kicked off the case, while she remains on it for now.

McAfee turned down the motion to dismiss the charges on First Amendment grounds without prejudice, meaning the defendants could give it another try.

It's likely that this latest allegation regarding the recorded phone call is going to be a matter of concern for him, if he doesn't allow her to intimidate him again, in my opinion.

BREAKING: Trump Appeals Fani Willis Non-Disqualification Decision

An Application for a Certificate of Immediate Review was filed by the Trump team and his co-defendants to appeal Judge Scott McAfee's decision to keep Fulton County DA Fani Willis and her office on the RICO case against the former President and the co-defendants.

Under Georgia law, you typically do not appeal for whatever reasons at pre-trial. You usually wait until the trial concludes to appeal the outcome. That means you must wait until the end of the case if you lose.

However, there are times when things are so important that you need to get them out of the way early in the case. This is, according to the Trump team, one such time.

This appeal tells Judge McAfee that his March 15 order is extremely important to the case regarding due process of law.

The document essentially says that since an outsider can reasonably think the District Attorney is not exercising her independent, professional judgment, totally free of compromising influences, that she should be taken off the case along with her office.

Naturally, this works in Trump's favor and anyone of fair mind would agree that Willis is not exercising independent, professional judgment and is compromised.

Now it's hurry up and wait to see what happens next.

BREAKING: Justice is broken as judge rules as predicted

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is not going to be held accountable for what appears to be perjury, and will get to keep her law license and arrogant attitude. All she has to do is either step aside from the case against President Trump, or fire her former paramour, Nathan Wade.

McAfee, as predicted, issued the ruling as his re-election to the bench looms large. He heard evidence presented by attorneys for the co-defendants in the 2020 election interference case and did not allow it to interfere with his personal ambition, much like President Biden is doing in the case of Israel v. Hamas.

Four co-defendants accused Willis of having an "improper" affair with Nathan Wade, the lover she hired to help prosecute the case and with whom she enjoyed lavish vacations paid for by Wade.

The co-defendants alleged that Willis benefited financially by hiring Wade because they were in a pre-existing relationship when he was hired in 2021 and would vacation together. She claimed to have repaid the tens of thousands of dollars he spent on her in cash she keeps lying around in her apartment because she is black and that's how she rolls. Evidently, that was good enough proof for McAfee.

Wade and Willis both denied they were kicking boots prior to his hiring and that the couple would split the costs of their shared travels. 

On Wednesday McAfee issued a ruling that quashed six counts in the Georgia election interference case and Trump's 18 co-defendants. The judge said the state failed to allege sufficient detail for "solicitation of violation of oath by public officer."

There is no accountability anymore and McAfee is a self-serving coward--it's all theater.

BREAKING: Judge decides if Nathan Wade's former lawyer will take the stand again

Her dress is on backwards

BREAKING: Judge Scott McAfee has determined that Terrance Bradley, the former lawyer and friend of Nathan Wade will take the stand again and testify on information in the case that is not protected under attorney-client privilege. This will likely be a huge deciding factor in how McAfee will rule.

The Fulton County, GA District Attorney, Fani Willis insists vehemently that her "personal relationship" with her former paramour Nathan Wade, did not take place before she hired him on the Trump RICO election interference case. But telephone records strongly suggests otherwise. The outcome of Judge Scott McAfee's decision will determine whether Wade will try the case as charged and possibly have either Willis, Wade, or both disbarred and the case thrown out altogether. In other words, what Willis claims about Trump et al, is what she is on trial for. She says she is not on trial, and technically she's right, but let's face it--she's on trial for her career and possibly later charged with perjury.

Right now the issue is the cellular data from AT&T by Trump's attorneys. Trump is just one of the 19 defendants charged by Willis in her sprawling racketeering case, and her lover, Wade, has no experience with these types of cases yet is being paid over $650,000 for his time--more than her own attorneys under her.

The phone logs show almost 12,000 texts and 2,000 phone calls between Wade and Willis, prior to Wade being hired by her. That is definitely a bad look.

The phone data also allegedly shows no less than 35 wee hours visits by Wade to Willis' apartment in Atlanta's Hapeville neighborhood.

Willis, who seems to think people are gullible, says the analysis  “was not filed in good faith but instead is nothing more than another attempt to garner salacious headlines in the media.” So facts don't matter, eh?

Incredibly, she speculates whether former President Trump “illegally obtained cell site location information, which is generally only obtainable after a finding of probable cause and issuance of a search warrant.” 

Trump’s legal team says a private detective in their employ gained the phone records through a lawful subpoena. [Can we get an LOL?]

The content of the texts remains private, but if the correspondence proves an affair that antedates Wade’s appointment, that would contradict the claim both prosecutors have made — under oath — that their intimacy began only after Wade was named special prosecutor and could not have been the motivation for his hiring. Trump and other defendants said that the outlandish payments Wade has received — and spent on joint trips — amount to an incurable conflict of interest.

The decision as to whether the phone records will be entered into evidence is Judge Scott McAfee’s to make, and he will likely do so ahead of a March 1 hearing he has called for further argument on the disqualification question. Willis, in a Friday filing, argued that they “do not prove anything relevant” and “do not prove, in any way, the content of the communications between Special Prosecutor Wade and District Attorney Willis.”

In legal terms, this is what is known as "grasping for straws."

Willis labels Trump’s submission, which is founded on an analysis by a private investigator, Charles Mittelstadt, as “unqualified opinion evidence.” She also claims that Mr. Mittlestadt’s qualifications have not been fully vetted but it turns out that he's fully qualified. [See legal term definition above.]

Trump’s attorneys responded that the analyst’s credentials are not at issue — instead, the ballast of the claim that Willis and Wade are lying are “data that was produced by AT&T in response to the lawfully issued subpoena.”

Sensing the danger to her stewardship of the case shown by the phone logs, Willis writes that the “records do nothing more than demonstrate that Special Prosecutor Wade’s telephone was located somewhere within a densely populated multiple-mile radius where various residences, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and other businesses are located.”

So perhaps he was getting drunk, getting laid, or having a bite to eat at 3 a.m.

Willis adds that the proffered pieces of evidence “do not prove that Special Prosecutor Wade and District Attorney Willis were ever in the same place during any of the times listed.” Her filing also notes that “on multiple relevant dates and times” Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade were “VISITING THE THREE CRIME SCENES WHERE A MASS MURDER MOTIVATED BY RACE AND GENDER BIAS HAD TAKEN PLACE.”

And if you believe that, you might be a woke liberal.

On Monday, Judge McAfee met in camera, with a former law partner of Wade, Terrence Bradley. 

Bradley also handled Wade’s divorce from his wife of 26 years, Joycelyn, who just wasn't doing it for Wade anymore. 

The defendants maintain that Bradley possesses information showing that Wade’s extramarital affair with Willis predated his appointment to the case. Bradley admitted on the stand that he left Wade’s employ due to accusations of sexual harassment.

There might just be a "Perry Mason Moment." Stay tuned.

You won't believe the number of texts Fani Willis and Nathan Wade sent to each other, casting doubt on sworn testimony

Ah . . . love. There are songs about love; poems about love; letters about love; and even texts about love. Sometimes there are thousands of texts.

Former President Donald Trump's attorney filed phone records in a Georgia court that suggests the Fulton County District Attorney [and apparent DEI hire] Fani Willis, and her guy hired to investigate Trump, were in constant contact during 2021 while both testified their affair began in 2022. 

[By the way, I refer to Willis as a DEI hire because after hearing her testify on the stand, she sounds like a bitter, defensive pro se defendant rather than an accomplished DA. She actually seemed to reveal that she spend some of the campaign funds on herself, which is indictable.]

The Willis and Wade partnership texted 12,000 times and spoke by phone nearly 2,000 times in the first 11 months of 2021, according to the filing Friday. That's more than most happily married couples some might say.

Charles Mittelstadt, a private investigator hired by the defense, said in an affidavit that he subpoenaed Wade’s cell phone records from AT&T Inc. and obtained them February 15, the same day Willis and Wade testified under oath that they didn't knock boots until after Willis hired Wade in November 2021.

Several defendants, including Trump, are seeking to have the case dismissed or have Willis removed as prosecutors over what they claim is a conflict of interest and alleged financial benefits from their romance. 

Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee hasn’t said when he’ll decide on the request to dismiss the indictment or disqualify Willis, Wade and the district attorney’s office from the case. He can do all three and even have Willis indicted for campaign fraud, but that would be too much to hope for.

In the filing, Mittelstadt claims his geolocation analysis of the AT&T data concluded Wade’s phone was near Willis’ address at least 35 times in the first 11 months of 2021, and we know it didn't get there by itself. And on at least two occasions, Wade was in the area of Willis' house in the wee hours of the morning.

The investigator is “available to testify at the court’s convenience,” Trump attorney Steve Sadow said in the filing. The filing said it included a report of all the calls and texts, a “heat map” reflecting the prevalence of calls, and a PowerPoint presentation of “geolocation highlights.”

Willis gave two hours of angry, amateurish, combative testimony last week. She said Michael Roman's attorney, Ashleigh Merchant, was lying when she claimed Willis benefitted financially from giving Wade the case. Merchant and her husband run their own law firm in Atlanta, and she is president of the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.

“You’re confused,” Willis said. “You think I’m on trial. These people are on trial for trying to steal an election.”

Wrong, Fani. You are on trial as to whether you are qualified to handle the case, and wether you should keep you license to practice law and maybe even go to prison for perjury and unethical behavior [with the funds you benefitted from by paying your lover].

At the hearing last week, a former law partner of Wade, Terrence Bradley, claimed that attorney-client privilege prevented him from testifying whether the romantic relationship started before or after November 2021.

Defense lawyers claim Bradley, who represented Wade in his ongoing divorce, has knowledge not covered by the privilege that the relationship began before that date. McAfee, who must decide who’s telling the truth, said he would question Bradley privately in his chambers and decide how to proceed. 

In a filing on Thursday, Wade’s attorney Andrew Evans urged the judge to cancel that private interview, which defense lawyers say is scheduled for Monday.

“The court should not conduct the examination under any circumstance,” Evans wrote. “Georgia law clearly prohibits compelled disclosure of the attorney-client privileged communications at issue, even in camera.”

So now we shall see where this non-trial trial goes.

Judge McAfee to rule in Fani Willis--Trump Georgia case

Final arguments are being prepared in the Trump election interference case as to whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified due to her intimate relationship with the special prosecutor Nathan Wade. 

Willis hired Wade rather than using the lawyers in her own office, and it is alleged that Wade was romantically schtupping her since 2019. She is paying Wade over $650,000 which is more than any of her lawyers are paid, and the kicker is that Wade has relatively no experience in RICO cases as this one happens to be. 

It is also alleged that Willis personally benefitted from what she paid to Wade having taken elaborate and frequent vacation cruises with him, which may account for her rather full figure because it's always "all you can eat" on cruises. She claimed to have paid Wade back for her part of the expenses, but doesn't have a shred of evidence to prove that, claiming she always paid cash because she's black and you just don't understand.

After an excruciating drama-filled two-day hearing on the motion to disqualify Willis, we now await for the next steps.

There will now be an on-camera hearing with Judge Scott McAfee and the defense's "star witness" Terrence Bradley, the former divorce lawyer for Nathan Wade. This hearing is set for Monday February 26, according to Fox News.

On Friday, when Bradley testified, every question he received was immediately followed by an objection by the state and even his own lawyer.

The arguments centered on whether Bradley’s testimony would violate attorney-client privilege, since he was Wade’s divorce lawyer for a time. It's probable that not all the questions would violate that issue because Bradley was also Wade's friend and not everything is privileged outside of court when it doesn't directly involve Wade's divorce case.

Despite that, what is said on-camera, behind closed doors, could open things up in Bradley's testimony. Judge McAfee will determine how much of Bradley's testimony would violate attorney-client privilege and how much weight should be given the testimony that is admissible.

The next step expected would be a final hearing. The state and defense would sum up their evidence and give final arguments. That should be scheduled for next week if the source is correct. The exact date is to be determined.

Even if there is no conflict of interest in this case, which I suspect there is, just the appearance of such a conflict is enough to get Willis thrown off the case on her substantial duff. But it will be up to McAfee to decide what to do with what he hears.

It it was up to me, I'd throw her off the case, indict her for misuse of campaign funds [which she unintentionally revealed via her motor-mouth] and throw out the case overall. It's obviously a witch hunt, but it's the witch who's doing the hunting in this case.

BREAKING: Fani Willis' fanny may be in cooked as judge orders hearing

Things are looking gloomy for Georgia's Fulton County DA, Fani Willis as her crusade to prosecute Donald Trump has turned sour after it was discovered that she had an improper relationship with the married special counsel, Nathan Wade, whom she hired, slept with, and went with on vacation.

"The judge overseeing the election interference case against former president Donald Trump in Georgia has reportedly scheduled a hearing for Feb. 15 to examine recent allegations that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her lead prosecutor 'engaged in an improper relationship and mishandled public money,'” reports Nicole Bennett at WSB Radio.

Not surprisingly, Willis' paramour, Wade, is not really qualified to handle the RICO case she donated to him. He had never handled one before, but he still billed the county $250 per hour and raked in over $600,000. 

The hard-left Washington Post has a more detailed report explaining that Judge Scott McAfee has ordered Willis to respond in writing to the allegations by Feb. 2, and he has called a hearing about the accusations and scheduled it for Feb. 15.

Judge McAfee is presiding over the RICO case involving Trump and 18 other co-defendants. Willis is alleged to be sharing a bed with Wade. 

"Willis has declined to address the accusations directly so far," reports the Washington Post's Amy Gardner and Holly Bailey. "McAfee’s order appears to be forcing her to do so in televised court proceedings, a development that could at the least be embarrassing for the district attorney and at worst derail the investigation completely."

Willis spoke out indirectly about the allegations in a speech on Sunday at Atlanta's Big Bethel AME Church as an old guy behind her seemed happy to be there. She unsurprisingly pulled the race card, which is becoming old hat and an embarrassment to Black people who know better. 

She also defended Wade but never spoke about the fact that she and he do the horizontal lambada. After all, it was in church and she didn't want to give the worshipers bad thoughts.

Willis also indirectly addressed the issue by accusing Wade's estranged wife, Joycelyn Wade of interfering with the Trump case by subpoenaing Willis to testify in the Wades' divorce proceedings. She had to again be indirect to avoid being judged a hussy.

Willis, the paramour of Nathan Wade,  also accused Joycelyn Wade of “obstructing and interfering with an ongoing criminal prosecution.” The motion claims that because the Wades' marriage was beyond repair to begin with, dragging the DA into the proceedings is a needless distraction.

Looks like Fani's fanny is in trouble, but I won't hold my breath thinking anything is going to come of this situation.
