In a recent appearance before Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta, Willis barely addressed the substance of the allegations — more on those shortly — but chose instead to frame them largely as a racially motivated attack. The judge overseeing the case recently directed Willis to respond to the allegations in a court filing by Feb. 2, with a hearing scheduled on the matter for Feb. 15. Meanwhile, many of Willis’ once-very-vocal legal and political supporters appear to be going easy on her — largely staying quiet, keeping their heads down as the silence grows increasingly awkward and perhaps hoping (wrongly) that this will all somehow go away.
The technical legal phrase for the situation is “a mess,” and Willis’ handling of it is making it much worse.
At a bare minimum, she owes her constituents and the American public a much more direct and fulsome explanation of the facts than she has provided in the weeks since the allegations emerged. In today’s choose-your-news world, here’s the reality: It’s far too soon for Trump supporters to claim victory, but if you are someone who is eager to see the former president face accountability in a Georgia courtroom for his alleged election subversion, you have good reason to be worried.
Sounds like Big Fani has a lot of “Fans” out there.
Nathan Wade has dress shirts with his name embroidered on the cuffs. What a tool.
Trumps lawyers can subpoena the WH lawyers who spoke to them and put them under oath....................
She's a victim.
Everyone who opposes her is an oppressor and every complaint made about her and/or her behavior is premeditated oppression.

By hiding behind her blackness, Willis makes it look like she has committed some very serious wrongdoing. Legal responses are expected to be delivered in court but Willis went to church....a decidedly black church to, 1. underline her blackness, and, 2. score points about racism.
Her speech in church was purely political agit-prop, evasive on pretty much every material factual question. It was a serious disservice to Willis’ constituents, and further calls into question her professional judgment, which had already come under scrutiny even before all this.
She suggests her blackness alone is the reason the case was brought, in order to buttress her burgeoning political ambitions in backwater Georgia.
Willis whined, Trump’s allies were racists heaping extra scrutiny on a Black woman, but the fact is that attorneys of color also make mistakes, and they are also capable of engaging in serious professional misconduct just like white people.
The fact that a prosecutor is Black, brown, blue or any other color does not grant them immunity from legitimate questions about how they do their jobs. Defendant’s may nit-pick the charges against them but criticism in a court of law is not typically construed as racism.
A “cheap shot” comes to mind.
It is incumbent upon Willis to address the allegations clearly and forthrightly — and to let the chips fall where they may.

How DARE everyone here presume that these two black people should be held to the same Legal and Ethical Standards as white people in their profession. RACISTS!!!
If they let Fani speak at that AME church they should change the church name to Adulterous Marxist Enticers.
Because they want to be clear of any collateral damage coming from this slow-moving train wreck.
An articulate young Black man.....a Fulton County resident.....addressed the County Board of Commissioners and left them in STUNNED SILENCE after calling out the election interference, and Fani Willis’ corrupt affair. Other residents in the audience APPLAUD:
<><>”I’m done with Fulton County fumbling our elections.
<><> I’m done with the gross mismanagement of our tax dollars by the Democrats on this body.
<><>As a taxpayer, I’m disgusted at what is coming out of the DA’s office.
<><>I am done with most of your silence
<><>at the DA’s apparent love affair with the special prosecutor
<><>the gross mismanagement of taxpayers’ dollars
<><>the pursuit of what appears to be a frivolous lawsuit, based off of partisan politics.”
He mocked Commissioners by saying, “Apparently, guys like me need to court Fulton County female executives” like Fani Willis to get things paid at country expense.
He noted the irony of the DA claiming to protect past elections, but he said, “She’s trying to interfere with future elections, by trying to convict a candidate before the general election.”
He requested a “financial audit” done by the county auditor of the District Attorney’s office immediately.
You can hear the clapping as he finishes.
At least one of the Commissioners has already demanded answers from Willis about allegations of “misused County funds and accepted valuable gifts and personal benefits from a contractor recipient of County funds.” Fulton County Commissioner Bob Ellis, a Republican, demanded that she turn over records that he requested in the matter by Feb. 2. So, hopefully they can get more information on the matter, and, upon hearing the soaring words of this young man, it sounds like they have folks there focused on getting to the bottom of things.
Evidently, these two love boinkers have been told to shut up and keep their heads down until they are forced to fess up, and until a constancy plan can be thought up, or a bribe accepted, so we won’t be having any fireworks for a few weeks.
And so to pass the time, I offer this humble refrain, sung to the tune of ‘Tammy’s In Love’, with apologies to Jay Livingston and Ray Evans.
Da cocoanuts clanking in da palm trees above
sing Faaaanie, Faaaanie, Faaaaine’s in love
Da Pelicans sqawking ‘bout da one dat I love
sing Faaaanie, Faaaanie, Faaaaine’s in love
I write Nate a check, den we go on a trip
|When we git to da cabana, we really let her rip
When I take off my clothes, he turns out da light
Says the sight of me is too much, he can’t take da delight
Da surf of de ocean reminds me of who I’m thinkin’ of
Faaaanie, Faaaanie, Faaaan’es in love
constancy - contingency
