Don't take a swing if you aren't ready to absorb a punch. That's a lesson Fani Willis is learning the hard way. Insulated in the far-left bubble of Fulton County, Willis truly believed she was untouchable. So untouchable that she thought she could bring a ludicrous RICO case against a former president while not having her own house in order, and boy, is her house not in order.
As RedState has reported extensively on, Willis is currently caught up in a corruption scandal involving the use of state funds to pay the man she was having an affair with. Now, a leaked recording has just made things much worse for her.

According to a new report, Willis may have improperly fired a whistleblower for trying to prevent illegal activity from occurring. Amanda Timpson, who is on the recording, was concerned that Michael Cuffee, an aide to Willis, was allegedly bragging about using a federal grant for "swag" and other disallowed expenses.
According to Timpson, the aide, Michael Cuffee, planned to use part of a $488,000 federal grant—earmarked for the creation of a Center of Youth Empowerment and Gang Prevention—to pay for "swag," computers, and travel.
"He wanted to do things with grants that were impossible, and I kept telling him, like, 'We can't do that,'" Timpson told Willis in a Nov. 19, 2021, meeting. "He told everybody … 'We're going to get MacBooks, we're going to get swag, we're going to use it for travel.' I said, 'You cannot do that, it's a very, very specific grant.'"
"I respect that is your assessment," Willis responded. "And I'm not saying that your assessment is wrong."
During the call, Willis seemed sympathetic and even admitted that Timpson's version of events was not necessarily wrong. Yet, just two months later, the district attorney fired Timpson and had her frog-marched out of the building by armed guards. She would later claim that the former employee was a holdover who didn't "meet the standards of the new administration."
Less than two months later, Willis abruptly terminated Timpson and had her escorted out of her office by seven armed investigators, according to Timpson. When Timpson filed a whistleblower complaint the following year that alleged wrongful termination, Willis's office issued a statement describing Timpson as a "holdover from the prior administration" who was terminated because of her "failure to meet the standards of the new administration."
It is hard to look at Willis' behavior, either in this case or others, and to come to any other conclusion than she's hopelessly corrupt. She seems to have set up her own fiefdom in Fulton County, believing that she is above the law and reproach.
If she wanted to keep that grift going, she probably should have hunkered down a bit and stayed out of the public eye. Instead, she decided to try to elevate herself further (no doubt, she has higher political ambitions), and now she's under the microscope. What's being revealed isn't pretty.
I don't know how she continues to lead the prosecution against Donald Trump at this point. She has thoroughly exposed herself as not only a political operative but an extremely corrupt one at that. In a grand sense of irony, her continued involvement may be the former president's best chance at beating the charges.
She probably had the cover of the 2020 election fall-out in Georgia to keep people from looking at what she was doing. Everyone was looking at Kemp and Raffensperger back then.

I see you understand black Democrats in GA / the ATL area.
she will step down with a promise from her handlers and then get promoted
If you want to see what a person is truly like...GIVE HIM/HER A LITTLE AUTHORITY.
i’ve seen it many times.
Remember, we wouldn't have heard about any of this if a lawyer defending one of the Trump defendants hadn't dug up the goods on Willis. That elevated the interest and things started to snowball at least at the local level. This latest development will likely bring in the Feds to start snooping around. The audio suggests Willis had knowledge about misusing federal grant money. If they did misuse the money that shows a lack of control in the DA office. I would think there would be a business office that would catch it and tell them to use other funds..
“she will step down with a promise from her handlers and then get promoted”
A gig as a MSNBC contributor or a no-work professorship.
I am just filled with disgust at her and that 26 yr old Dolton chick who is singlehandedly bankrupting a small village with her armed guards, her $160,000 3 yr Chevy Tahoe lease and eating $500 meals at chicken joints.
When will people learn?
WOW.
Is there any kind of audit going on??? I bet we will be SHOCKED at what the money was spent on.
Just ANOTHER CORRUPT DEMOCRAT!
Stay tuned! More is coming.
Ole Fanni is really burnishing her credentials. She’ll be able to run for Governor someday. You can bet her “Special” Prosecutor isn’t the first guy she has used all her assets to ensnare.
When you have lived under corrupt administrations all your life, you assume it is the way of the world.
Lots of urban blacks have lived under corrupt Democratic administrations.
——Insulated in the far-left bubble of Fulton County——
Poor reporting. The far-left bubble is actually a cloud of the Black plague debilitating Fulton County
This is evil and every single one of those people will face God and see this same scene again.
If they are saved their works will burn up around them. If not, hellfire awaits them.
But they will all have an eternally horrible cringe moment at His judgement seat.
And those people know what they are doing is wrong, but skin color trumps everything.
The Democrat Plantation as Democrats traded in their sheets for 3-piece business suits or pant suits...some things never change.
Is there a statute of limitations on misuse of federal funds? Surely it’s at least five years.
🤣
what question did Fani "ax"?
