Fani Willis Judge: Sure, There Was Lying, Conflict, ‘Odor of Mendacity,’ but Hey, It Could be Worse

by Victoria Taft

By now you’ve heard that Fani Willis has not been booted from what’s left of the RICO election case against President Trump and more than a dozen other defendants. If you haven’t then you’ll want to read Chris’s excellent piece about it. While PJ Media will report the fall out and next moves, there’s more to this 23 page decision than the conclusion. That’s what I’ll be covering in this piece.

The judge in the case delivered a split-the-baby decision telling the Fulton County, Ga., (Atlanta) District Attorney that she could fire her own office from the case or dump her very special prosecutor from litigating the case against Trump et. al. By the time you’re reading this she may have made a decision, but that’s not what we need to highlight here.

Judge Scott McAfee, who stands for reelection in mere weeks, was right to have stopped everything to hear arguments on motions to dismiss and others because Fani Willis was having an affair with the arguably unqualified special prosecutor, her boyfriend, Nathan Wade. The defendants alleged she derived some financial benefit from the arrangement and spoke out in public about her prejudices against the defendants to taint the jury pool and by all appearances suborned perjury, but no biggie.

On the way there was clearly suborned perjury, tales of lavish vacations, sudden spates of bad memories, lying to the court, no receipts for money swapping with Wade, and bizarre behavior by the imperious Willis. Doesn’t everyone keep $10,000 in cash in their homes and recompense lovers in cash without any proof? Of course they do, by Fani’s lights.
