Embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis suggested on Monday that the creation of a new prosecutorial oversight panel in Georgia is racially motivated.
“Georgia had never had a prosecutorial oversight committee,” Willis told MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, when asked about the state Senate’s special committee investigation.
“All of a sudden, 14 minorities were elected to office to serve as district attorney,” she continued. “And now all of a sudden they need an oversight committee to look after district attorneys because they want to tell us how to prosecute and who to prosecute and where we should put our resources, as opposed to allowing the voters that put us in the seats to make those determinations.”
The new disciplinary board, approved by the Republican-controlled state legislature earlier this year and signed into law by the GOP Gov. Brian Kemp in March, will have the power to discipline and remove prosecutors from cases in Georgia found to have engaged in misconduct.
Willis, who is currently under investigation by the Georgia state Senate over her use of taxpayer money during her relationship with former special prosecutor Nathan Wade, could come under scrutiny from the new body over the same allegations and other aspects of her handling of the prosecution of former President Donald Trump.
“They use false reasons for wanting to come after me,” the district attorney said Monday.
“What is so ironic is, although it’s only 14 of the 50 DAs in the state of Georgia, most of the citizens report to our jurisdictions, so, although we’re smaller in number than the other 36, most of the population has elected these minority DAs to serve them and has trusted their judgment,” Willis argued.
“But apparently we now need daddy to tell us how to do our job.”

Racism is indeed a horrible thing, however, it should never be used falsely to abrogate personal responsibility.
Put Stasi Abrams on the panel, and call it a Prosecutorial Overweight Committee....POC. Problem solved.
I HOID dey wuz prejudiced agains’ Gorilla Grip 🐈.
Fanny sees herself as the very personification of reparations and believes she is free to do as she wants.
You can see the same thinking in Karine Jean-Pierre, Alton Bragg, Letitia James, Tiffany Henyard (wild-woman mayor of Dolton, Il), and Marilyn Mosby (convicted States Attorney/prosecutor of Baltimore).
"People who didn't earn their power have a tendency to abuse it."
As an aside, I was using Claude.ai for another matter and was curious about what he might think of the above statement about unearned power. Here's what he said. Unearned power and entitlement: When people gain power without having to work for it or prove themselves, they may develop a sense of entitlement. They might feel that they are inherently deserving of their power and have no obligation to use it responsibly. This mindset can lead to abuses of power. Lack of appreciation: People who have earned their power through hard work and merit may be more likely to appreciate the responsibilities that come with it. They understand the effort required to gain power and may be more inclined to use it judiciously. Those who haven't earned their power may lack this appreciation and be more prone to misusing it. Absence of accountability: When power is earned, there is often a system of accountability in place. The person has had to demonstrate their competence and character to gain trust and authority. However, when power is unearned, such as through nepotism or cronyism, there may be less accountability, making it easier for the person to abuse their position. Preparation and competence: Earning power often involves developing the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience to wield it effectively. Those who haven't gone through this process may be ill-prepared to handle the responsibilities of their position, leading to poor decisions and potential abuses. The statement "People who didn't earn their power have a tendency to abuse it" raises some interesting points about the nature of power and how it can be used or misused depending on how it is acquired. Here are some thoughts on this statement:
Because she is one of the DA's who is prosecuting Trump. Isn't that a good reason?
If fat Fanny is disqualified, the Trump case in Georgia will either be dismissed or die on the vine.
Walking hunk of cleavage needs taken down a notch or two.
Big Bucks for the business of Trump hate.
Willis, Lacretia James and Alvin Brag did what their White democrat masters ordered them to do, which is to get Trump, no matter how many laws they had to break, just convict the Orange Man.
It did not occur to these simpletons that by breaking so many laws, they themselves would be going to prison, Their neck would be kissing the blade of the guillotine, instead of their Rat masters.
On January 21, 2025 it’s going to be lights out. They know it, we know it.
When they know they’re screwed out comes the Race Card ,LOL
oh please.
Black women are a very small minority of lawyers, but a large percentage of Dem appointments.
I agree that scrutiny of Fani is racially motivated: she’s a nagger.
Huh.
Maybe we shouldn't elect "minorities" to serve as district attorneys ...
“All of a sudden, 14 minorities were elected to office to serve as district attorney,”
When incompetence in government is discovered, it must be swiftly dealt with.
“All of a sudden, 14 minorities were elected to office to serve as district attorney,”

But then, a competent district attorney would recognize that.
Must be nice to be able to keep pulling the same card from the bottom of the deck.
