Fulton County commissioner wants Fani Willis probed........
and here I thought Nathan Wade had already probed her.

By hiding behind her blackness, Willis makes it look like she has committed some very serious wrongdoing. Legal responses are expected to be delivered in court but Willis went to church....a decidedly black church to, 1. underline her blackness, and, 2. score points about racism.
Her speech in church was purely political agit-prop, evasive on pretty much every material factual question. It was a serious disservice to Willis’ constituents, and further calls into question her professional judgment, which had already come under scrutiny even before all this.
She suggests her blackness alone is the reason the case was brought to buttress her burgeoning ambitions.
Willis whined, Trump’s allies were racists heaping extra scrutiny on a Black woman, but the fact is that attorneys of color also make mistakes, and they are also capable of engaging in serious professional misconduct just like white people.
The fact that a prosecutor is Black, brown, blue or any other color does not grant them immunity from legitimate questions about how they do their jobs. Defendant’s may nit-pick the charges against them but criticism in a court of law is not typically construed as racism.
A “cheap shot” comes to mind.
It is incumbent upon Willis to address the allegations clearly and forthrightly, if she can — and to let the chips fall where they may.
