Fulton County Prosecutor Fani Willis will reportedly refuse to step down after allegations surfaced in recent weeks of corruption surrounding her probe into former President Donald Trump.
If Willis resigns or recuses herself from the case, it could effectively end the county’s prosecution of Trump or potentially delay the proceedings until after the presidential election. Republicans accuse Willis of interfering in the presidential election.
Sources familiar with Willis’ thinking told CNN that she will not step down, but will continue her prosecution despite the allegations. Willis has until Friday to respond to the allegations filed by co-defendant Mike Roman, who alleged Willis had an “improper” financial and romantic relationship with her top prosecutor, Nathan Wade.

Must be nice.
Jail her for theft of Taxpayer Dollars! SIMPLE!
Does she think it’s voluntary? She may have no say in the matter. The ultimate irony would be to put her into that cesspit call Fulton County Jail.
What happened to the “ The seriousness of the charge mandates that she step down”?
The bigger they are the harder they fall.
And this tub of blubber is huge.
The longer she stays the better it is for Trump...............
She’s pulling the Smollett maneuver.
NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW
Honest Services fraud under Title 18 U.S. Code 1346 is a federal crime involving the misuse of an individual’s position or authority for personal gain or advantage.
It can be committed by public officials, corporate officers, and private individuals with fiduciary duties to another person or entity.
Since 18 U.S.C. 1346 was implemented, case law has clarified that honest services fraud must include some bribe or kickback to be considered a crime. (Skrilling v. United States, 2010) Thus, honest services fraud involves three entities:
Someone offering a bribe or kickback;
Someone accepting the bribe or kickback; and
A victim—someone deprived of the intangible right of honest services due to the bribe or kickback.
As an extension of the mail and wire fraud statutes, honest services fraud can be severely penalized upon conviction. The possible penalties are as follows:
For general instances of honest services fraud: Fines of up to $250,000 and up to 20 years in federal prison;
For instances of honest services fraud that involve a financial institution or which affect benefits being provided in a nationally declared disaster or emergency: Fines of up to $1 million and up to 30 years in federal prison.
What is the new law about prosecutors in Georgia?
Brian Kemp signed a bill into law Friday creating a new commission empowered to discipline and remove wayward prosecutors, saying it will curb “far-left prosecutors” who are “making our communities less safe.” May 5, 2023
I got bad news......it ain’t up to her
“On Monday, Georgia House members passed a bill to recreate a committee to remove Willis”
Why would she? She knows darned well nobody is going to do anything about it.

Hey, she’s black and laws and rules don’t apply to her don’tcha know.
Real simple: black and female, therefore double-protected from any consequence through normal channels.
“GirlBoss of Colour”
The “law” doesn’t matter anymore.
He’s faking. He has/had the power to do it himself.
Commissions are for cover up and obfuscation.
Nobody expected a dignified exit from her anyway.
Rather have a court dismiss the entire case.
Whitey’s standards don’t mean squat.
