Fani Willis Funny Business Equals Fed Up Constituents

It seems like there is a never-ending amount of embarrassing information coming to light about Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

Ever since the court filing that alleged a personal relationship between Fani Willis and one of the lawyers she hired to prosecute the Trump election interference RICO case, Nathan Wade, we had seen a slow-motion cascade of increasingly cringe-inducing information being revealed, to the point that the RICO case itself is in jeopardy. And this only started exactly one month ago!


In one month, we have seen Fani Willis play the race card for both herself and Nathan Wade during a pre-scheduled speech for Martin Luther King Day in church. We have seen her attempt to blame Wade’s soon-to-be-ex-wife for “conspiring” with the RICO case defendents to “embarrass” her, she has claimed that Joycelyn Wade was really the one who had an affair. Her personal lawyer managed to get her out of being deposed in the Wade divorce case because Nathan Wade rushed to settle it (for now), but we have seen the credit card statements that show Nathan Wade paying for these vacations for himself and Fani Willis. And finally, we have seen Fani Willis admit to the “personal relationship” between herself and Nathan Wade, but both of them pinky-swear that she’s not benefiting from the money that her office is paying him, nope nope nope, and that there’s no reason to recuse themselves from the case.

In an affidavit by Wade submitted Friday with Willis’ court filing — both obtained by CBS News — Wade stated, “In 2022, District Attorney Willis and I developed a personal relationship in addition to our professional association and friendship. I have no financial interest in the outcome of the 2020 election interference case or in the conviction of any defendant. No funds paid to me in compensation for my role as Special Prosecutor have been shared with or provided to District Attorney Willis.”

In the filing, Willis’ attorneys responded to the allegations by saying, “This is not an example of zealous advocacy, nor is it a good faith effort to develop a record on a disputed legal issue—it is a ticket to the circus.” And the filing condemns the “incredibly inappropriate efforts to intrude into opposing counsel’s personal life with little to no evidentiary value.”

We also know that Nathan Wade filed for divorce the day after Fani Willis hired him to help prosecute the RICO case. And we know that Wade is not a RICO lawyer, and he’s being paid quite a lot of money in comparison to the other lawyers with more experience for the case. Wade and Willis admit to beginning their relationship in 2022, after he was hired. There are now allegations that the relationship actually began in 2019 – and apparently there are witnesses who will testify to that in court.


Given how we have seen the stories that Fani Willis has spun melt away like cotton candy in the rain, I would bet on the witnesses at this point. (Though I bet that Willis will claim that she and Wade were just having a sexual fling in 2019, not an actual relationship. I’m putting that one on my bingo card.)

One month ago, the Georgia case was considered to be the one case that could present the most legal jeopardy to Donald Trump, because even if he wins the 2024 presidential election, he could not pardon himself from state charges. In those four weeks, Fani Willis has been exposed as ethically compromised at best, and a homewrecker at worst, when it comes to her personal relationship and hiring practices. She also appears to be absolutely arrogant and unrepentant about any issues concerning her professional reputation, given that a whistleblower has now alleged that she was fired from Willis’s office over calling out the misuse of federal money.

Less than a year into her tenure as Fulton County district attorney, in 2021, Willis met with Amanda Timpson, an employee in the district attorney’s office responsible for giving nonviolent juvenile offenders “alternatives to the juvenile court system.” During their conversation, a recording of which was reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, Timpson claimed to Willis that she had been demoted after attempting to stop a top Willis campaign aide from misusing federal grant money meant for a youth gang prevention initiative.

According to Timpson, the aide, Michael Cuffee, planned to use part of a $488,000 federal grant—earmarked for the creation of a Center of Youth Empowerment and Gang Prevention—to pay for “swag,” computers, and travel.

“He wanted to do things with grants that were impossible, and I kept telling him, like, ‘We can’t do that,'” Timpson told Willis in a Nov. 19, 2021, meeting. “He told everybody … ‘We’re going to get MacBooks, we’re going to get swag, we’re going to use it for travel.’ I said, ‘You cannot do that, it’s a very, very specific grant.'”

“I respect that is your assessment,” Willis responded. “And I’m not saying that your assessment is wrong.”

Later in the conversation, Willis apologized to Timpson, and said Cuffee had “failed” her administration.

Less than two months later, Willis abruptly terminated Timpson and had her escorted out of her office by seven armed investigators, according to Timpson. When Timpson filed a whistleblower complaint the following year that alleged wrongful termination, Willis’s office issued a statement describing Timpson as a “holdover from the prior administration” who was terminated because of her “failure to meet the standards of the new administration.”


Fani Willis is now attempting to cast Amanda Timpson as a “poor employee,” despite records and emails stating the opposite. This case has now gotten the attention of the House Oversight Committee, with Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) issuing a subpoena to Willis last week. Federal money means federal oversight. And Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a complaint with the Georgia State Ethics Commission regarding Willis’s relationship with Nathan Wade.

“Fani Willis can’t be trusted to fulfill her duties impartially,” Greene told The Post Millennial. “Inappropriate, unethical, and potentially illegal behavior has plagued her investigation from the outset. How can the public trust a prosecutor who abuses her office for personal gain while targeting her political opponents? Fani Willis’s failure to disclose luxury vacations allegedly paid for by her secret boyfriend using taxpayer money is a scandal of epic proportions. It’s no surprise a shady prosecutor like Fani Willis would launch a political prosecution of President Donald J. Trump.”

Willis, Greene writes in her complaint, “stands credibly accused of using Fulton County and federal COVID funds to pay her unqualified, secret boyfriend Nathan Wade $250 per hour to collude with the Biden White House counsel and help Fani Willis bring unprecedented RICO felony charges against President Trump and 18 co-defendants.”

Greene contends that Willis “allegedly paid her secret boyfriend a significantly higher hourly rate than another one of her special prosecutors who actually has significant RICO experience. And with the nearly $700,000 Wade has collected in government funds as one of Willis’ special prosecutors, he has allegedly taken her on a luxury Caribbean cruise, a trip to Napa, and other lavish trips.”

All of these allegations and issues – within ONE MONTH! – are snowballing beyond Fani Willis’s control. And her constituents are officially tired of having to watch her shenanigans.

“What the hell is going on? I know you guys write the checks. She is an embarrassment to the board and to the citizens footing the bill,” Kevin Muldowny testified at a Fulton County Board of Commissioners public hearing.

“Fani is doing exactly what Fani wants; whether it’s carrying on an adulterous relationship with an underqualified stud she hired or ignoring a direct request from a sitting commissioner for a full audit.”

“Fani Willis isn’t serving this community; she wasn’t even before she became absorbed with her own legal problems. No one believes that now amid new lawsuits, congressional investigations and subpoenas that she will start doing her job,” resident Julie Allen testified over Zoom.

“The community deserves a prosecutor whose first priority is public safety and the rule of law, not helping Joe Biden win in 2024,” she said, while calling on Willis to resign.

And Willis’s own words are coming back to haunt her.

The Democrat had previously vowed to fire any co-workers who slept together and claimed she would not date her subordinates in an interview from around the time she was appointed as DA.

County resident Matt Roenzack alleged in virtual testimony nepotism ran rampant in the office, as Willis’ chief investigator is married to her chief legal assistant

“It’s just example after example after example of corruption in this county and it needs to be dealt with,” Roenzack said.

And here is Fani Willis saying that she wouldn’t date a subordinate in 2020.


Now, none of this has any bearing on the actual RICO case against Donald Trump and the other defendants. What this DOES do is call Fani Willis’s professional, personal, and ethical judgment into question, and the admitted fact that she is in a relationship with the prosecutor she hired to work the RICO case, despite his lack of experience in that area of law, while paying him a chunk of change and then taking vacations on his dime. In one week, Judge Scott McAfee is going to have to deal with all the evidence before him about Fani Willis and Nathan Wade, and then make a decision about their involvement in the RICO case. He could remove them both from the case and tell the Fulton County District Attorney’s office that someone else would have to take over. The case could be moved to a different jurisdiction to continue onward. At that point, a different prosecutor would have the power to continue the case, reduce charges, or even dismiss the whole case. Fani Willis is now trying to convince the judge that this is all water under the bridge, and there doesn’t need to be any more hearings.

Willis, in her filing last week, asked Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee to effectively cancel the Feb. 15 hearing, claiming that “no further factual development is necessary.”

On Wednesday, she filed additional motions seeking to quash subpoenas that had been issued to her, Wade, and seven other members of her office.

She argued in her filing that there is “no factual basis” that “could reasonably justify requiring” her and a number of her employees to become witnesses in the case, and accused election case defendant Michael Roman, who issued the subpoenas, of “an attempt to conduct discovery in a (rather belated) effort to support reckless accusations.”

The filing further claims that the investigators in her office who were subpoenaed have “no knowledge at all” of the issues raised in Roman’s motion alleging misconduct.

The filing also seeks to quash a subpoena to Wade’s former law partner, who representing him in his divorce proceeding, arguing that he is protected by attorney-client privilege.

It also seeks to quash a subpoena to Synovus Bank for Wade’s financial records, saying that Roman “cannot possibly justify such a fishing expedition.”

Of course Willis wants this all to go away – she’s staked her entire political career on taking down Donald Trump. To have the entire case implode because she couldn’t keep her hands off a married man who is her subordinate is more than an ethical violation, it would be the end to all of her future political ambitions. But somehow, I don’t think Judge McAfee is going to sweep all of this under the rug. No one knows exactly what he will do, but I would not be shocked to see Fani Willis off this case at next week’s hearing.

Place your popcorn orders now, because everyone will be watching.
