Fani Willis is asking a Fulton County judge to dismiss nearly $17 million in attorney fee claims filed by defendants in the dismissed 2023 election interference case, arguing that the law they are relying on is unconstitutional, vague, and being misapplied.
In a brief filed Tuesday in Fulton County Superior Court, Willis moved to intervene in proceedings tied to a 2025 state law that allows defendants to seek reimbursement of legal fees if a prosecutor is disqualified for "improper conduct" and the case is later dismissed.
DA: Disqualification was based on "appearance," not misconduct
Willis argues the defendants are not eligible for reimbursement because her disqualification stemmed from the "appearance of impropriety," not a finding of actual improper conduct.
Under a strict reading of the statute, she contends, the law applies only when a prosecutor is removed for proven misconduct, not for the mere appearance of it.
Her filing cites years of Georgia appellate precedent that distinguishes between "actual impropriety" and the "appearance of impropriety," arguing that the legislature was aware of this distinction when it passed the law in May 2025.
No link between disqualification and dismissal, filing says The brief also argues there was no causal connection between her disqualification and the later dismissal of the indictment.
According to the filing, the successor prosecutor's decision to seek a nolle prosequi - a prosecutor or plaintiff's official notice voluntarily withdrawing a pending criminal charge or civil lawsuit - did not rely on the issues that led to her removal. Willis contends the statute requires a nexus between the disqualification and the dismissal - not merely that one event happened after the other.

“appearance of impropriety”
Fat Fannie was riding high, getting good press until Nathan Wade’s ex wife blew the whistle on her. Willis is the poster girl for appearance of impropriety.
I wonder who she paid for that argument. Bet it wasn’t Nathan Wade, Esq.
Until corrupt, parasitic scumbags like Willis are either law-fared to ruin or indicted, arrested, tried, convicted and jailed, they will continued operating with impunity and smugness, essentially giving us all the middle finger.
Gads, she’s a hateful little [LARGE] POS.
A truthful assessment.
"I learned that with the swipe of my pen, I could charge someone with the lowest-level offense, and because of the swipe of my pen, that person could be arrested," she said in a 2019 New Hampshire speech.
Harris also listed consequences, including potential lost work, jail time and costly attorney fees for the person charged. "Weeks later, I could dismiss the charges but their life would forever be changed."
Democrats are pretty up front and say exactly what they are up to, if you just pay attention! I remember everything for some odd reason. I even remember Joe Biden demanding that gasoline should cost at least $5 per gallon, in 2008. I remember the networks (particularly NBC) pointing out that Joe Biden was a plagiarizing, racist, dolt, in 1988, but somehow that faded away? It did not.
The really strange behavior with her, is that she openly declares that the reality or assemblence of facts are only what she says they are. It’s very un-lawyerly. Her conduct reflects very poorly on the integrity and ethics of the judicial system in the state of Georgia. I am shocked that the county and state did not disqualify her from even running for office. She’s a bond ratings killer for the state and county.
IIRC—HER “DADDY” IS AN ORIGINAL “BLACK PANTHER”
If there was a list of people deserving of financial ruin (at the very least), big Fanni would be in the top 5%.
Rhetorical question.
How many lives were ruined by state and federal lawfare under Biden?

Fani is still THERE??
I think that KaMAla also used that identical phrase, “with a swipe of my pen”. Scary bunch those lib women when they have power.
I would agree about her punishment & the same would go for many lawbreakers. They need punishment that will be remembered not only by the defendant but by others who would possibly consider doing the same thing. Jail sentences aren’t quite enough & are also quite costly.
Her problem is that it isn’t just the appearance of impropriety but that she actually committed impropriety.
Meanwhile the State Bar has taken no action against her.
It sounds like she’s begging to be tried and imprisoned for misconduct. She’s a glutton for punishment.
EC
Fani Willis grasping at straws anything for a way out of her mouth overloading her big ass.
