The Fani Willis Scandal Is So Much Bigger Than Trump
2024-03-04
[RedState] Is any public figure having a worse start to the year than Fani Willis?

The once-lauded Fulton County prosecutor was billed as the savior of "democracy" not too long ago. The press were writing glowing profiles of her, supposing that her sheer girth of courage and expertise would ensure Donald Trump would never come near the White House again. She was going to put the former president in jail, avenging aggrieved Democrats and proving she was not a woman to be messed with.

That was the plan, at least, and you know what they say about plans.

Early in 2024, in an astonishing turn of events, it was revealed that Willis had committed adultery with an underling whom she hired with taxpayer money to help work the Trump case. Nathan Wade, the man in question, was allegedly paid higher than the market rate, raking in over $500,000. To compound the scandal, he used that money to take Willis on lavish vacations, going so far as to put expenses on his business credit card.
Well, it was a business expense for him.
...The arrogance demonstrated by Willis has been simply astounding. She truly thought she was going to get away with pursuing the political prosecution of a former president despite having a closet full of skeletons. Instead, Willis has become the epitome of Democrat corruption, and her hubris has led her into a corner she won't easily escape.
I wonder how many "affirmative action" appointees could withstand a close scrutiny?

#2  "her sheer girth of courage"
There's a girth there, but I don't think courage plays into it.

#1  Everything about her is slathered in abuse of power. It may be her body wash. One of the fundamental issues is that she fundraised on the pledge to prosecute Trump. That is not something we want allowed for any DA. It swaps blind justice for a cash register.
