CNN legal analyst Michael Moore on Friday cast doubt on Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ Thursday testimony in which she claimed she always reimbursed her romantic partner with cash.
Willis testified during a hearing on whether she should be disqualified from her election interference case against former President Donald Trump for improperly benefiting financially from appointing special prosecutor Nathan Wade to the case. They both asserted Willis reimbursed Wade with cash for their vacations and outings, so there was no record of it, which Moore described as “convenient” on “CNN This Morning.”
Moore criticized both the defense lawyers and Willis for their performances during Thursday’s hearing.
“I think there were things they could have been pushed a lot harder on and maybe … delved into specifics a little bit more, especially when [we] start talking about things as nebulous as cash payments and there‘s no way to track it,” Moore said about the questioning. “And how much cash was paid? What, did you really just pay for the $150 to negotiate the taxi or … what did you do with the $4,000 you took? I think they could have pushed that.”
“I also thought that it just was not credible. It reminded me of watching a criminal defendant take the stand. They don‘t have to do that. You see it and you can tell that the defendant thinks that they‘re smarter than every lawyer in the room. And it just becomes a train wreck. And so that‘s sort of how I felt, this just went off the track,” he said about the testimony.
Wade testified he has only one receipt showing Willis reimbursed him for travel expenses because she always paid him in cash. Willis later asserted she “always” has cash at her residence, claiming it is a habit her father instilled in her.
“I have a hard time just thinking about a DA paying everything in cash, nothing wrong with cash, but it‘s convenient right now … Her indignation would have seemed a lot more sincere had she come out about two months ago. But remember, even as she is there saying she wants to get to the truth and she‘s shaking the documents and the court filings around in front of everybody, her office is fighting everything. They’re fighting every witness subpoena. They don‘t want the records to come in, she‘s refusing to let bank records and other things come in. They‘re hiding behind the privilege from [Wade’s] divorce lawyer who they‘re claiming was a friend, but maybe a divorce lawyer, so we really shouldn’t have to say anything.”
Willis erupted in rage during the hearing, prompting Judge Scott McAfee to call a five-minute break. She faced questions on whether Wade visited her residence and suddenly burst into anger, holding up documents as examples to prove that the allegations were false.
Maybe someone will break in while she is in trial and search for it.
So CNN is stopping ‘justshort’ of accusing her of perjury.
It’s fairly obvious to all that she was lying her a$$ off....................
Yeah, when she was televised walking to testify, that was weird.
Is she simply trying to say she paid her own way on their vacations?
Not sure why that would even matter unless he was claiming them as business deductions or something.
Yes, she is. and trying, unsuccessfully, to mitigate any criminal charges she and he may be facing................
And she’ll get away with it.
That’s because the dress was on backward (the zipper was in the front).
One or the other might be able to make this claim, but not both.
If liberal elites can start seeingd a little of what’s happening the world can change...
They are blinded by their ideology. They can see the truth because it is viewed through thick lenses of ideological obfuscation................
I have a headline for the New York Post “Fani gets spanked!”
She hires lover boy as a special prosecutor. He gets paid hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money to prosecute the case. She then gets illegal kickbacks from him in the form of paid vacations, etc. She knows this is improper so claims she reimbursed him for those expenses in the form of cash. Of course, she has no receipts showing those reimbursements were actually made because they weren't actually made.
“And if she supposedly reimbursed him in cash then where did the cash go?”
The question should be, where did the cash come from? This is why she’s fighting to keep bank records out of the court’s reach. If the bank says she never cashed checks for cash or removed cash from her account, then where did all this money originate?
She also had a Flag Pin on UPSIDE DOWN!!!
Look in the freezer, or under the bedroom mattress, or under the bed in a shoebox.
That makes sense.
Thanks!
From another thread
“She didn’t know she had to report these cash expenditures but she knew she had to hide it.”
That right there is a snake in the grass. A liar, a thief, a manipulator. That right there has no business holding an office of public trust. Fani ain’t the only one livin’ high on the hog, there are several in the sorority cabal that have taken.great liberties with public tax dollars and showered themselves with dubious trips, hotel accomodations, wardrobe etc... and who are highly offended that they are being called out on these illegal perks.
Wow———watta hag.
