Fani Willis Is in Full Panic Mode
Red State ^ | 11:09 AM on January 15, 2024 | Staff

Posted on 01/15/2024 5:00:54 PM PST by Red Badger

As RedState reported, Fani Willis finally responded to the allegations that she hired the man she was having an affair with to be a special counsel in her office. For some reason, she decided to give her remarks in front of a black church congregation. In doing so, she interspersed claims of racial persecution with a total disregard for her moral and professional failures.

In other words, she's in full panic mode.

WILLIS: God, why don't they look at themselves and just be honest? I mean, they can't keep it a hundred with themselves? Why are they surprised that a diverse team I assembled, your child, can accomplish extraordinary things? God, wasn't it them who attacked this lawyer of impeccable credentials?

Nothing makes me cringe more than when a politician who has obviously engaged in immoral acts starts using God as a prop to defend their behavior. That is exactly what Willis is doing. Instead of taking responsibility for the fact that she allegedly had an affair and then hired her "lover" to be a special counsel in a completely improper and unethical fashion, she's citing God and playing the victim.

It'd be different if Willis was apologetic, or in a religious context, repentant. She hasn't shown an ounce of contrition, though. Instead, she's doing what Democrat politicians who aren't white always do: Claim racism.

Willis pointed out during her speech that the other two prosecutors assigned to the case, Anna Green Cross and John Floyd, both are white, and noted that allegations have only emerged targeting the two prominent black members of the prosecution — her and Wade.

“Isn’t it them playing the race card when they constantly think I need someone from some other jurisdiction in some other state to tell me how to do a job I’ve been doing almost 30 years?” she asked.

Green Cross and John Floyd, the other special counsels, are indeed white. They also didn't have an affair with Willis, which is the entire crux of the matter. So while the audience she was speaking to nodded along, I don't think any fair-minded person would agree with her framing.

But according to Willis' alternate reality, if only she were white, no one would care that she hired her boy-toy to a high-level professional role while prosecuting the former President of the United States. Her evidence for that? She provides none because there is none. There is no reason to think race has anything to do with the criticisms being levied at her.

In fact, there may be reason to believe that her race has helped her avoid scrutiny, which is what we saw with former Harvard President Claudine Gay. It was only after multiple allegations of plagiarism were levied in addition to her antisemitism scandal that she was finally forced out. That happened long after a white university president who did the same thing in the same hearing had already resigned.

Think about how arrogant Willis had to be to put herself in this position. When you decide to try to throw a former president in jail on specious charges, you better have your own house in order. That is not the time to start mixing your affairs with work, yet Willis did it anyway. I can only assume she felt she'd get away with it, and perhaps she will. She's panicking, though, and it's obvious.

“hundred”

“John Floyd, who wrote a book on federal and state Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statutes and is considered Georgia’s top expert, entered into a contract with the Fulton County District Attorney’s office on March 10, 2021, at an hourly rate of $150 per hour, according to a contract obtained by the DCNF. Nathan Wade, whom Willis appointed special prosecutor, was retained at a rate of $250 per hour, according to the contract contained in court documents — though Willis claimed Sunday all her special counsels were paid the same rate.”

One thing is certain: she needed legal help.

Willis has been a lawyer 28 years. In my opinion, she relied on the “race card” as her “get out of jail free card” when she hired Brother Wade and THEY commenced to steal taxpayer money. I also don’t think she got the memo about how the “race card” has been worn out in America and is effectively invalid anymore.

A very high percentage of the black race baiters are half white.

I have no doubt that everyone in that church listening to her, ate it up and nodded in agreement with everything she said.

All too often, morals, values, and God’s Commandments take a backseat to skin color.

I’ve witnessed it too many times.

If I had a time machine, I’d eradicate the cotton seed by 1620.

You wouldn't even have to go that far back. Just make sure LBJ was never born. Remember him saying "we'll have them n...g.rs voting democrat for the next 200 years by putting them on welfare"? This is what destroyed the black family structure turning so many young black people into thugs and joining gangs due to not having a solid family structure with a father and mother. This cultural shift ruined black culture.

I like to think that if that LBJ welfare crap never happened, racism as we know it would be a thing of the past. Maybe not for everyone but it would be the norm. Instead, it's ingrained in a high percentage of blacks that they are victims rather than just Americans. Black culture keeps racism alive. People like Al Sharpton and so many other grifters push it constantly to keep their bank accounts overflowing while most blacks live below the poverty line. It didn't need to be like this.

Better Call Saul comes to Alanta. Sounds like not only did Fani call Saul and pay him 250 an hour, way more than he’s worth, but she was shacking up with him. Now, all we have to figure out is how much he was kicking back to her on the 250 an hour contract.

It’s obvious that Wade’s ex wife ratted them out. Wade made the same mistake as Betty Broderick’s husband. He should have been fair. Many laws have been broken. I would like to see fat fanny’s mug shot. That would be funny.

Wade is worth the extra money because he climbs aboard and services that pig. Some people will do anything for money.

She also declared that even in those cases she hired her ‘close friends’.
