Fani Willis declared victory Tuesday night in her bid for Fulton County District Attorney, soundly defeating her former boss, Paul Howard.
Yall we made herstory, said Willis, who is poised to become the first woman to serve as Fultons first DA. You have my word, during my tenure as district attorney in Fulton County, we will be a beacon for justice and ethics in Georgia and across the nation.
Howard, seeking his seventh term in office, conceded defeat shortly before 11 p.m., telling reporters, I came in with pride and Im leaving with pride.

The movie “Sharky’s Machine” was about corruption in Atlanta.

Paul Howard is the dirt bag that filed murder charges against the cop that shot the guy that tasered him and/or his partner.
The dude was stoned, the cops were trying to help him but he went street n_gger { _ = a, e, i, o, or u, you pick'em}.

Howard replaced long-time Fulton County DA Lewis Slayton who did business much like J Edgar Hoover using a little black book noting who’s naughty and nice. Was on Howard’s grand jury for 3 months last year serving justice on innumerable criminal cases. Personally, I have no beef with Howard. Fulton Co. DA has enormous power to make life difficult. His time is up.
Let Fani fill his seat!

Of course the investigations on going into Howard’s corruption are just politically driven .... Right.
Oh and charging police officers with felony murder is just doing his job
Got it
