Willis Goes Wild

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis found herself in an unusual position yesterday. Instead of asking defendants and witnesses tough questions, she was the defendant seated in the witness stand. And it was a wild hearing!

Reports out of the Atlanta courtroom are astonishing. If you want an example of the corruption that bedevils virtually every major American city, it was on full display in that courtroom yesterday.

Willis walked into the courtroom without a shred of remorse for her poor personal choices. She demonstrated no respect for the court and was repeatedly warned by the judge to tone down her overheated rhetoric.

The reason Willis was on trial is because she admitted to having a romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, an outside attorney she hired to serve as a special prosecutor in the bizarre RICO case she brought against Donald Trump and multiple conservative activists.

Moreover, she rewarded her lover with an extremely generous contract (that would be taxpayer money). And he took her on lavish vacations. So, it appears as though she has financially benefited from the prosecution of Donald Trump and used it to pay off her boyfriend.

Among other things, Wade testified that he paid for the vacations with a business credit card and that Willis reimbursed him in cash, which she suggested came from her campaign account.

The timing of their relationship is important because Wade and Willis previously stated in court documents that they did not become romantically involved until 2022, after Willis filed charges against Trump. But a former friend of Willis’s testified yesterday that Wade and Willis were having an affair years before that.

In other words, the Fulton County district attorney lied to the court.

Many legal experts were stunned by yesterday’s proceedings. Some suggested Willis could be disqualified from this case, disbarred for her illegal and unethical behavior, and face prosecution for perjury. (By the way, she’s already been disqualified from one related case.)

Sadly, I doubt Willis fears the possibility of prosecution. If she is prosecuted for lying about her affair while trying to “get Trump,” I have serious doubts that a jury in Atlanta would convict her.
