Is Fani Willis a Fair and Unbiased Prosecutor?
Here’s The Scoop
Is Fani Willis a fair and unbiased prosecutor? That’s the question on everyone’s mind after Judge Scott McAfee ruled on Friday that either Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis or Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade had to exit the 2020 Georgia election case against former President Donald Trump for the prosecution to continue.
George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley weighed in, stating, “It’s like finding two people in a bank vault and taking one off to jail.”
The decision came after Willis was accused by co-defendant Mike Roman of being romantically involved with Wade at the time she hired him for the Trump case. A witness testified last month that the romantic relationship between Willis and Wade began before the case started, while Willis maintains that the relationship didn’t take place until later.
Turley explained one reason McAfee might have rendered such a decision:
The reason that’s attractive is that it avoids the cliff problem. If he took Willis off the case, he’d have to take the entire office out of the mix. He’d have to reassign this to another set of prosecutors. That would cause considerable delay, could also cause the dismissal of the case if those new prosecutors looked at this racketeering theory and said, like many of us, ‘Wow, this doesn’t really hold together very well.’
So this avoided the cliff but it did not avoid the question that will inevitably come up.
“It’s like finding two people in a bank vault and taking one off to jail. The question is the appearance problem, that the judge identified with regard to Wade, was directly related to his relationship with Willis. They both testified in the same way. They were the two parts of this relationship, and yet only one of them was disqualified. And so that’s going to lead to these questions: Why should Willis escape that same penalty? The opinion leaves us feeling like the court went and shot the wounded.”
“The problem is the disjointed aspect of the opinion itself,” Turley stated. “It doesn’t really hold together that well. The big question was: What is the standard? Is it just an appearance or do you have to show an actual conflict? He indicates that he believes it is indeed the appearance standard.”
“Well, if that’s the case, I don’t see how Willis escaped disqualification,” he asserted.
“Many people believed that both of these prosecutors lied on the stand, that there were false statements admitted to courts. The key about that is Willis and Wade are prosecuting people in this case for that very conduct. And so it’s hard to see how Willis continuing the case does not undermine it in the eyes of the public and hurts the case overall.”
Turley noted of Willis, “She will stand accused of false statements as she prosecutes others for that type of conduct. And keep in mind that there are state efforts now to fully investigate this including possible bar issues.”

I believe Fani Willis is another far left anti-trumper looking to make a name for herself. Like her NY conspirator, Latisha, she is not an unbiased, fair
District Attorney. In my opinion, People like Ms. Willis will do anything to stay in power and protect other Democrats, like Mr. Biden, by taking out his opponents. Mr. Putin and Mr. Xie use this strategy frequently.

How can you think trump isn’t guilty after hearing him on that recorded phone call telling the republican election director to find 10000 votes?

Did you actually hear? If you did you would not have said what you said. Seems you are you going by the MSM, the TDS they created with their propaganda, gaslighting, lies, half-truths. Maybe change the channel or try other sources of news. The National Pulse, Crystal Clear News, The Western Journal, Target Daily News, Gateway Pundit, Breitbart, New York Post, Epoch Times- channels Oann (Newsmax is usually pretty good). Use Brave, Tusk or even DuckDuckGo for research. MSM is NOT a friend. Rumble Podcasts- And We Know (former Marine, but once a Marine always a Marine Pastor), Lou Dobbs, Dan Bongino (former Police Officer, Former Secret Service for Bush/Obama), Russel Brand, Jordan Peterson, VivaFrei, Judicial watch, to name a few. Even Joe Rogan is coming around- waking up. He’s still a lib, but he asks questions! On X check out DC Draino, Catturd. For a start. Expand your horizons, use that beautiful gray matter to expand beyond your demo plantation. Just some suggestions.

Well Fani should get her fanny out of office. She is a glorified nit wit. She should not be on any case and she is a bought and paid for George Soros idiot.
Most likely does her best work on her back!!
