Trump prosecutor Fani Willis got donation from ex city attorney convicted of $15M fraud
NY Post ^ | 6/09/24 | Isabel Keane

A former Atlanta city attorney who was sentenced to seven years in prison over a massive $15 million pandemic loan fraud donated to Trump prosecutor Fani Willis’s campaign after applying for the government handouts, records show.

Shelitha Robertson, 62, used some of her ill-gotten windfall for lavish purchases — including a massive 10-carat diamond ring and a Rolls Royce, according to federal prosecutors.

But, she also donated $1,000 to Willis’s Democratic primary election campaign around the time she got the massive payouts from the Paycheck Protection Program, Georgia campaign filings show.

**SNIP**

A judge ruled that the relationship did not present a sufficient conflict of interest to kick Willis off the case, but last week the Georgia Court of Appeals delayed the trial for months after it said it would review the judges decision in October.

Robertson, a Democrat who ran unsuccessfully to be a Circuit Court judge in Fulton County in 2010 and 2014, donated to Willis in May 2020.

Willis went on to defeat her scandal-hit boss — longtime district attorney Paul Howard in the Democratic primary after a runoff in August 2020.

A spokesman for Willis did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Sunday.

In April and May 2020, Robertson — a former Atlanta assistant city attorney and an ex-cop in Georgia’s largest city — fraudulently applied for millions of dollars in government loans for four businesses she owned, prosecutors said.

Rolls Royce? This deserves the Jimmy Conway speech from Goodfellas, 1990.

Jimmy Conway : [Johnny bought an expensive pink Cadillac coupe for his wife after the Lufthansa Heist] Johnny, are you nuts? We got a million f@cking bulls out there. Everybody’s watching us and you get a f@ckin’ car!

Johnny Roastbeef : It’s under my mother’s name. It’s wedding gift.

Jimmy Conway : I don’t give a f@ck whose name it’s on! Are you stupid or what? Did you hear what I said? Don’t buy anything, don’t get anything! Nothing big. Didn’t you hear what I said? What’s the matter with you?

Johnny Roastbeef : What am I getting excited for, Jimmy?

Jimmy Conway : Why am I getting all excited about it? Because you’re gonna get us all f@cking pinched, that’s why! What are you, stupid? What’s the matter with you? What’s the matter with you?

Johnny Roastbeef : I’m sorry, Jimmy.

Jimmy Conway : What the f@ck is the matter with you?

Johnny Roastbeef : It’s under my mother’s name.

Jimmy Conway : [exasperated while interrupting] What did you say? You being a wiseguy with me? What did I tell you? What did I tell you? You don’t buy anything, you hear me? Don’t buy ANYTHING!

Johnny Roastbeef : I’m sorry.
