Fani Willis Hired Nathan Wade Without Fulton County’s Input, Officials Say

County officials said they have no control over the district attorney’s budgetary decisions.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had sole discretion over her decision to hire Nathan Wade as a special prosecutor in her 2020 election probe, county officials revealed on May 3.

Addressing members of the Georgia Senate Special Committee on Investigations, Fulton County Board of Commissioners Chairman Robb Pitts said county staff had interpreted state law to mean that Ms. Willis did not need the commission’s approval to hire Mr. Wade.

As for the special prosecutor’s compensation, Fulton County Chief Financial Officer Sharon Whitmore advised that Ms. Willis also has the authority to decide how much contractors are paid.

Those revelations surprised the committee’s chairman, state Sen. Bill Cowsert.

“This is sounding, to me, kind of like the Wild West,” the Republican said, apparently stunned by the county’s apparent lack of control over how Ms. Willis managed her office’s budget.

“You don’t know how much of that is spent on professional services, who was hired, how much they’re paid per hour, what their total compensation is, yet you’re being asked to provide $36.6 million a year.”

I can’t keep up with what’s been going down
I think my heart must just be slowing down
Among the human beings, in their designer jeans
Am I the only one who hears the screams?
And the strangled cries of lawyers in love

First I rise, then I fall
Seems like you don’t want the love
Of this man at all
And it’s sure been a lonely time
Right up to the time I met you
So if you take a love like mine
Be tender with my love
You know how easy it is to hurt me
Fani, be tender with my love
‘Cause it’s all that I’ve got
And my love won’t desert me
So you say to yourself, boy
You’re out of your brain
Do you think I’m gonna stand here
All night in the rain?
And it’s the start of a love affair
The moment when I first met you
And if you want I’ll take you there
Be tender with my love
You know how easy it is to break it
Fani, be tender with my love
‘Cause it’s all that I’ve got
And my love won’t forsake me
With my love
Our love will seal it together
Oh, with our love
You made a promise
You’ll always love me forever
Be tender with my love
You know how easy it is to break it
Fani, be tender with my love
‘Cause it’s all that I’ve got
And my love won’t forsake me
Be tender (be tender) with my love (with my love)
You know how easy it is to break it
Fani, be tender (tender) with my love (with my love)
‘Cause it’s all that I’ve got
And my love won’t forsake me
Be tender (be tender) with my love (with my love)
You know how easy you can hurt me
Fani, be tender (tender) with my love (with my love)
‘Cause it’s all that I’ve got
And my love won’t desert me
Be tender (be tender) with my love (with my love)
You know how easy it is to break it
Fani, be tender (tender) with my love
‘Cause it’s all that I’ve got
And my love won’t desert me
Be tender with my love (with my love)
You know how easy it is to hurt me
Fanny, be tender
