I don’t know how many of you are following the Fani Willis case, but I understand this morning that she is going to tender her resignation.
She is the district attorney of Fulton County, and thus Atlanta Georgia, where they have charged Donald Trump and 18 of his associates with racketeering etc.
She took federal grant money for something else, to fund this prosecution, and one of the attorneys she hired as special prosecutor was her boyfriend. Then she paid her boyfriend an outrageous amount of money to . . . Ummm . . . “do it.”
The judge in the case has given them the silk glove treatment so far but the boyfriend (Nathan Wade) has stepped down from the case in shame. Evidently Fani Willis is preparing to do the same.
I do not yet understand if it is just her resignation from prosecuting the former Trump administration, or whether she is resigning her position as district attorney.
I did not expect this, however there were previous bar complaints made about her, months ago. This new round has put her in jeopardy of felony prosecution from the senators of Georgia and of the United States. Fani and Nathan both lied under oath to the judge. It is pretty clear that they were running a scam, charging ridiculous hours to this case, and spending the money in the Bahamas and the wine country.
Neither one of them could come up with a good accounting of their hours, money spent and received, the timelines of their behavior, or much of anything else.
IMO She stands about a 50% chance of going to jail right now.
If it wasn’t Atlanta Georgia I would say 100% but we shall see.
She will be lucky if they let her resign and slink away to Puerto Rico to live out the rest of her life on whatever stolen money she managed to squirrel away in the Bahamas.
Her and her boyfriend made off with almost $1 million between the two of them (that we know about) in this matter. That is not going to go unnoticed.
