A Georgia district attorney accused of hiring her lover to prosecute former President Trump broke her silence on the controversy, saying she and the prosecutor were targeted because they are black.
“They only attacked one,” Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis Sunday at Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta. “First thing they say, ‘Oh, she’s gonna play the race card now.’
“But no God, isn’t it them that’s playing the race card when they only question one?”
The comments were Willis’ first time addressing the allegations publicly — but she neither confirmed nor denied the claims lobbed at her and special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who helped secure an indictment against the former Republican president in an election interference case.
She called Wade “a great friend and a great lawyer,” along with a “superstar,” but failed to mention him by name once during her more than 30 minute speech, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The pair were accused by Trump co-defendant Michael Roman of having a “clandestine” and “improper” affair when appointments were made for the 2020 election interference case.
Roman, a former official on the Trump 2020 campaign, argued in a court filing last week that the integrity of the case had been compromised by their alleged affair and asked that all charges against him be dropped.
“The district attorney chose to appoint her romantic partner, who at all times relevant to this prosecution has been a married man,” the filing read.
Roman contended in the filing that Wade used some of the $654,000 in legal fees he’d earned on the case to take Willis on vacations to “Napa Valley, California, Florida and the Caribbean.”

Of course they are, honey. Of course they are. Keep telling yourself that. See if it helps.
Of coarse, drag out the race card
“It means all the accusations true”
It sure does. I wonder if there are any race cards left, since so many race cards have already been played.
They play out of a 8 deck Vegas Blackjack shoe.
👍
So Fani is saying white people don’t stumble or deserve mercy? Black women stumble so don’t hire them? Jesus talked about forgiving others and being merciful. Willis was arrogant when Trump was booked. I can’t wait to see her mug shot. According to reports Willis’s lover Wade is divorcing his wife. Wade’s wife has subpoenaed Willis to testify at the divorce. Don’t forget Fani, nobody is above the law.
Playing the race card so soon shows she is totally guilty.
Nathan wades divorce from Jocelyn Mayfield Wade is sealed. Hmmmm
yahoonews.com——Lawyers in the Atlanta area said they’re riveted by the burgeoning Willis/Wade scandal and its implications for Democrat Willis (elected in 2020).
.......lawyers questioned Willis’ judgement in hiring Wade, w/ little experience in complex investigations....his legal work is serving as a part-time municipal judge and handling non-felony criminal cases as well as divorce and child custody cases, court records show.
“There’s a lot of shock in the legal community about what we’ve seen in the motion,” said one defense attorney. “Wade’s not the first person who comes to mind to handle a complex RICO case against a former president.”
Another defense attorney said the optics are bad for other prosecutors. “What is strange is Willis actually bringing in a ‘special prosecutor,’ and the amount of money she’s paying Wade which far surpasses what other prosecutors get paid. Maybe if Wade was known as the ‘Tom Brady of RICO prosecutions’ it would be understandable, but he’s not.”
If the allegations about Wade and Willis are true, “there’s a multitude of problems with it. Just the image of the two going to Napa and going on cruises and going on vacation together, the optics of it are shameful.”
Why, of course it is! /s
They’ve played the whole deck!
-—— Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis-——
Is Black and a hard core racist. She is the quest for diversity gone rotten.
Just another Race Baiting Poverty Pimp and the Perpetually Professionally Aggrieved - using her Race as a Crutch and a Club.
Who would sit through 30 minutes of this wench's wailing? Was this at a church service?
“But no God, isn’t it them that’s playing the race card when they only question one?”
She barely makes sense. I can't believe she's a licensed attorney.
A ton of decks.
Then is the reverse true. Is your prosecution against President Trump racially motivated?
The race card. Never leave home without it.
Only white people have affairs.
