Fani Willis Fulton County Democratic DA Primary ends


Disgraced and Embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis faced voters for the first time Tuesday. This is the first of two elections she's got and first since launching her investigation into former President Donald Trump. Willis, a Democrat, has defeated attorney Christian Wise Smith in the Democratic primary district attorney race. Willis will face Republican Courtney Kramer, who is running unopposed in the GOP primary, in the November general election. However, it remains to be seen if the general election will be competitive in Fulton County, a deeply Democratic area home to Atlanta. The primary on Tuesday follows increased scrutiny from some voters regarding her handling of the Trump election interference case in recent months. 

Her case centers on Trump and his allies’ alleged attempts to overturn the outcome of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, a swing state that narrowly supported President Joe Biden. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and accused Willis of targeting him for political reasons. Willis has had her share of investigations since she decided to prosecute former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants, and the investigations are not stopping. Her office is now being investigated on allegations that it misused federal funds. 

Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin penned a letter to Willis on Wednesday in which they demanded information about her office’s alleged misuse of federal grant funds “The apparent and significant discrepancy between the purpose of the federal award of taxpayer money and the actual use of that money raises alarms that it hasn’t been used as Congress intended. The waste or misuse of taxpayer funds is unacceptable,” the letter said. “Congress has the right to know where federal tax dollars are sent and how they’re spent,” Sen. Grassley said. “These federal funds were intended to help vulnerable youth and support important law enforcement initiatives, but the Fulton County DA’s office appears to have used them to fulfill their own whims. 

Any official who squanders taxpayer funds should be held accountable.” The Beacon said its own investigation discovered misuse of certain funds. “The Free Beacon uncovered several instances of Willis dipping into federal grants to purchase computers and pay for travel. In 2020, the Justice Department granted the Atlanta Police Department $2 million to help clear its rape kit backlog. County records show Willis’s office pulled nearly $13,000 from that grant to purchase computers, and spent an additional $27,000 on airfare, hotels, and car rentals,” the report said. The investigation comes as an appeals court will hear an appeal from the former president’s attorneys to have her removed from the case. 

 Former President Donald Trump’s legal team has informed the Fulton County Superior Court that he will formally appeal the court’s previous ruling allowing District Attorney Fani Willis to remain on her RICO case she filed against him and 18 others alleging interference in the 2020 election. The issue with Willis began in early January when former White House staff member Michael Roman filed a motion seeking to disqualify DA Willis from prosecuting the case against Trump and his co-defendants. The motion alleged that Willis had an “improper” relationship with then-Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade and claimed that she financially benefited from both the investigation and the relationship. 

 On March 15, Judge Scott McAfee ruled that Trump and his co-defendants “failed to meet their burden” of proving that the romantic relationship between Willis and Wade constituted a “conflict of interest” or that Willis benefited from it. However, McAfee acknowledged a “significant appearance of impropriety” and decided that either Willis or Wade would need to step aside for the case to proceed in Fulton County. A few hours later, Wade resigned. On March 18, Trump and several of his co-defendants sought permission from Judge McAfee to appeal his decision, and on March 20, McAfee granted their request. 

On March 29, attorneys for Trump and his co-defendants filed an application for an interlocutory appeal, arguing that Wade’s departure did not resolve the appearance of impropriety and had “cast a pall over these entire proceedings.” On May 8, the Georgia Court of Appeals agreed to hear the appeal, giving Trump and his 14 co-defendants 10 days to file a notice of appeal, thus transferring the case from Fulton County Superior Court to the Court of Appeals, Fox 5 reported.

Judge rules on Fani Willis Case



THIS JUST IN - Judge rules DA Fani Willis must either fire special prosecutor Nathan Wade or step aside herself in the Trump case. And the aftermath is Nathan Wade just stepped aside hours later. So now that the decision comes more than two months after Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis (D) was accused of having an "improper, clandestine personal relationship" with the special prosecutor she appointed to oversee the election interference case.

Soon after the decision came out Nathan Wade excused himself from the case as it was expected. The law that GA Governor Brian Kemp passed just a day before gives an opening for someone other than the Judge Scott McAfee here be the one who ultimately kicks Fani in her Wide Fani and she could end up disbarred due to her overall behavior.

BIG WIN For Trump in Georgia Case


Watch this video on the top here it's on now! But this is a good day for Trump as Fulton County judge just tossed out several counts brought against former President my favorite and yours the one and only Mr. Donald J Trump and five others in the case involving an alleged attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. Like asking for a re count means you're trying to "over turn the election" when we saw video of how people stayed late night and after the staff left a few ladies (use that term loosely.) decided to make it known that they would be adding to the count bags full of votes hidden under tables. Now back to the current the order from Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee that states that six of the counts in the 41-count indictment returned by a Fulton County grand jury in August must be quashed.

So of those six counts, Trump was charged with three of them. Now joining Trump in the challenge to the six counts were former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, lawyers John Eastman, Rudy Giuliani, Ray Stallings Smith and Robert Cheeley. All had already plead not guilty to the charges. Steve Sadow, Trump's lawyer, said the court's decision to "quash" the counts is the correct one. "The ruling is a correct application of the law, as the prosecution failed to make specific allegations of any alleged wrongdoing on those counts," he said in a statement. "The entire prosecution of President Trump is political, constitutes election interference, and should be dismissed."

Eastman's attorney, Buddy Parker, said in a statement that "the court stated clearly the state failed to provide what exactly in the U.S. and Georgia constitutions the defendants solicited the public figures to violate, a clear error. We await the state's position on its intention in moving forward on the remaining charges." Allyn Stockton, Giuliani's local lawyer, said the quashing of the six counts was expected, as "there simply was not enough detail to put the defendants on notice of what to defend against."

The six counts relate to various alleged attempts to solicit state officials to violate their oaths of office, both to the Georgia Constitution and the U.S. Constitution. The judge wrote that the state failed to specify what those violations were, saying the allegations were "so generic as to compel this Court" to quash the six charges. "The court's concern is less that the state has failed to allege sufficient conduct of the defendants in fact it has alleged an abundance. But, the lack of detail concerning an essential legal element is, in the undersigned's opinion, fatal," wrote McAfee.

The Judge also stated that though the six counts as written contain "all the essential elements of the crimes," they "fail to allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission, i.e. the underlying felony solicited." Additionally, they don't give the defendants enough information to prepare their defenses "intelligently," McAfee wrote, as they could have violated the Georgia and U.S. Constitutions "and thus the statute in dozens, if not hundreds, of distinct ways."

Judge McAfee made it clear that his finding does not mean the entire indictment against Trump and the 14 other co-defendants is dismissed. Instead, he said that Georgia prosecutors can seek a new indictment supplementing the six counts. Trump was charged with 13 counts in the sprawling racketeering case brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in August. He has pleaded not guilty. Eighteen others were charged alongside the former president for their roles in an alleged scheme to reverse the results of Georgia's election, but four have since accepted plea deals. But none of those means much to the overall thing because they didn't make any connection to Trump in the plea deals.

Judge McAfee's order comes while he is weighing a separate request from Trump and eight of his co-defendants to disqualify Willis and her office from prosecuting the case because of an alleged improper relationship between Willis and her money spending sugar daddy Nathan Wade, you know the guy who got OVER PAID and took her on expensive trips and than both lied under oath about the relationship, and he was one of the "special" prosecutors working with the district attorney's office.

Wade was hired to work on the that Fani but also to make some $$$ and so she put him on the case involving Trump in November 2021. Michael Roman, alleged in a bombshell filing in January that the relationship with Willis began before Wade's appointment. Roman claimed that the district attorney financially benefited from the relationship, saying Wade paid for numerous getaways using income he received for his work with the district attorney's office. He was waxing on and off on that Fani! Now "Whatchutalking About" Fani Willis and Wade acknowledged in a court filing last month that they were in a romantic relationship, but said it began in early 2022 months after Wade's hiring and ended last summer.

Still, the bid to disqualify Willis and the Fulton County District Attorney's Office from the case set off a series of fiery proceedings before McAfee last month. Willis and Wade separately took the stand to answer questions about their personal lives and financial dealings. They said they split expenses related to their trips and refuted claims of wrongdoing. McAfee is set to rule this week on whether to remove Willis and her office from the case. This Trump prosecution in Fulton County is one of four he is facing in federal and state courts. A trial is set to begin this month in New York City stemming from allegations he falsified business records in connection with a "hush money" payment to suppress damaging information about him before the 2016 presidential election. This is another case of rigging elections as not long ago Trump was even awarded money from Stormy Daniels to pay him for damages, and attorny fees. This is another radical lib trying to rig the election.

He has also been charged in a pair of federal cases brought by special counsel Jack Smith in Wasington, D.C., and South Florida. The D.C. case involves alleged efforts to subvert the transfer of presidential power after the 2020 election, something which clearly DID NOT HAPPEN! But another hit job by these leftists who think saying "PEACEFULLY AND PATRIOTICALLY Make your voices heard!!" is somehow a call to violence. Mind you these people have Kamila Harris as VP who endorsed that BLM/Antifa burned down buildings and rioted during protests in the "Summer of love 2020" but the facts don't matter only the lib narrative. Oh and Jack also has the Florida case involving the alleged mishandling of sensitive government documents after leaving the White House. While he has as President the right to do so and if he's brought up on charges why not all previous Presidents? Or Hillary Clinton? She had NO RIGHTS to have documents and she not just had them she destroyed evidance and lied under oath. So nothing on them but TRUMP? CHARGES! Gee you think this hit JOB is about the 2024 election yet? 


Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and is seeking to delay any trials in the cases until after the November presidential election. He is set to face off against President Biden in a 2020 rematch. This time it's going to be much harder for them to repeat a lot of the rigging from 2020 because "all eyes" are on the election. So all these fake hit jobs are to try and stop him from running because they know the people want him back in office. So remember come November to Vote for the man who has given his all to help us drain the swamp.

Judge will Hold Hearing on Allegations of DA Fani Willis’s ‘Improper’ Use of Funds + Affair



Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee indicated a hearing on what one attorney termed “scandalous” allegations surrounding the district attorney’s relationship with a prosecutor would be held mid-February.

During a hearing the Georgia Judge let it known that he will be holding motion hearings every Friday for the next several weeks in the case Fulton County possible case against D.A Fani Willis. Yes the same one who is prosecuting former President Donald Trump for his constitutional right to challenge the 2020 election results.

The President Trump and 14 codefendants have been charged with violating the state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and have been accused of operating a criminal conspiracy in their election challenge efforts. Remember this is a witch haunt because all Trump did was to ask them to make sure all votes were accounted for and make sure that they look into the possible rigging done. Like we saw in the footage of people pulling out bags in the middle of the night when all other people were told to go home that they were closed for the night.

We saw on the CCTV there were people who stayed behind and they pulled out secret bags from under the tables in the room and jammed those fake ballots which we now know all were in favor of Joe "BIG GUY" Biden. So we know they helped rig the election in 2020 from these things the left & the M.S.M refuses to admit happened.

So we have Trump being on trial for questioning the events while Stacey Abrams who lost multiple times and has yet to ever admit she lost in a clean election! Only thing different is she's a radical leftists who has a sister who is a Judge, and she's a fat black woman so if you say anything against her it's a tool for the left to be able to attack you with such words as "White Supremacist, racist, misogynists, and so on.

Earlier this week, defendant Michael Roman, a former GOP strategist, made huge accusations of the “improper” use of funds in the district attorney’s office. So this made people see for themselves how corrupt this woman is. He alleged that Nathan Wade, an attorney for the prosecution who has argued at every hearing in the case, had taken lavish vacations with Ms. Willis using state funds. Mr. Wade is currently married and seeking divorce.

Mr. Wade is a partner at his own, private law firm, and would be paid by the district attorney’s office after his appointment as special prosecutor, which the motion alleges is close to $1 million in legal fees. Mr. Wade has been paid at a rate of $250 per hour, and around $650,000 for this case.

Mr. Roman also alleged the funds for the case investigation had been obtained “to clear the COVID backlog” but not used for those purposes. In a 100-plus page filing, Mr. Roman argued this was grounds for dismissal of his charges and dismissal of the district attorney and her team.

Prosecutors have not yet filed a response to the motion but said they would do so. Judge McAfee said a hearing on this motion would not be scheduled until after the court has received the response, and the earliest would likely be mid-February.

In the court hearing, Steve Sadow, attorney for Donald Trump, asked for the option to adopt the motion at a later date. He said he presently had no foundation for the “scandalous and salacious” allegations, the first of which was made public through the court filing, and would certainly wait to see the district attorney’s response filing before making a decision to adopt Mr. Roman’s filing. The judge had no issue with him doing so.

In the court filing, Mr. Roman only cites “sources” and does not provide evidence of Mr. Wade and Ms. Willis’s relationship or proof of such vacation expenditure. “Admittedly, this is a bold allegation considering it is directed to one of the most powerful people in the State of Georgia, the Fulton County District Attorney,” the filing reads.

“Nevertheless, the district attorney’s fame and power do not change the fact that she decided to appoint as the special prosecutor a person with whom she had a personal relationship and who is now leading the day-to-day prosecution of this case.”



Mr. Roman argued that public records don’t show that Ms. Willis obtained county approval to appoint Mr. Wade as special prosecutor, and that he has sealed records in his ongoing divorce case. He argued this was “indefensible conduct” and thus created an “irreparable defect” in the indictment.

Ms. Willis is already under investigation by House Republicans, who have alleged election interference and “colluding” with the Jan. 6 Select Committee. Jan. 12, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) sent a letter to Mr. Wade demanding materials and as part of oversight of “politically motivated prosecutions by state and local officials.”

Mr. Jordan had previously asked Ms. Willis to provide documents and correspondence as part of an investigation, arguing her actions have indicated the case was politically motivated against President Trump, the front runner for the Republican Party nominee. The committee is asking Mr. Wade for documents that show the district attorney’s coordination “with other politically motivated investigations and prosecutions and the potential misuse of federal funds.”

“According to a recent court filing, you have been paid more than $650,000 at the rate of $250 per hour to serve as an ‘Attorney Consultant’ and later a ‘Special Assistant District Attorney’ in the unprecedented investigation and prosecution of the former President and other former federal officials. This filing also alleges that while receiving a substantial amount of money from Fulton County, you spent extravagantly on lavish vacations with your boss, Ms. Willis,” the letter reads, referencing Mr. Roman’s motion.

Mr. Wade’s invoices include expenses incurred to interview investigators with the Jan. 6 Select Committee and hours of interviews at the White House. Politico recently reported on the district attorney’s office meeting with the Jan. 6 Select Committee during their investigation, and Mr. Jordan asked Mr. Wade to provide materials to show whether politically motivated collusion had occurred.

Mr. Sadow had previously requested materials from the district attorney’s office which came out of this meeting. During the Jan. 12 hearing, prosecutors confirmed that some notes taken were work product and not subject to discovery, but any video evidence viewed has since been made public.
