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.”

So, apparently, her argument is, the 'hood elected her, so she only needs to abide by the rules of the 'hood.
It's the ultimate dissolution of the principles of pure democracy.
So, expecting a black prosecutor to conduct themselves within the law is racism?
Last I heard Kim has disappeared. The state auditor has some questions about the finances in her office while she was still prosecutor, but she has apparently vanished.

Fani, it's because of your racism and lack of ethics that this oversight committee is required. You, and many of the 'newly elected DAs' to which you refer to were bankrolled by George Soros - who cares nothing about individual freedoms or rights. The delusion that you have been 'put upon' and thus any means justified an 'ends' that you desire is false, indefensible, and contrary to the principles upon which this nation was founded.
Can someone identify as black and get special treatment too? ...asking for a friend.
There are some excellent black attorneys, including black prosecutors and judges. Almost as a rule though, they are disinclined to racial appeals and the grubby nature of Democratic party politics.
