ATLANTA, Georgia — Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis fought back against allegations about her personal life during a Thursday court hearing on whether she misrepresented her relationship with Nathan Wade, the prosecutor hired as lead lawyer in the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump.

"You're confused. You think I'm on trial," Willis quipped to a defense attorney. "These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. I'm not on trial, no matter how hard you try to put me on trial."

An attorney for Willis made one last attempt to keep her off the stand this week, but after defense attorney Craig Gillen argued the case "cries out for her testimony."

Sometimes Bongino will play a clip of Rush and it stops me in my tracks. My eyes burn with tears and have to fight to keep from crying. I miss him so very, very much.

A Fox News expert asked earlier, "if they were trying to show at the time that they were keeping their expenses separate, then why do it with untraceable cash? That doesn't make any sense."

According to KYW newsradio (Philadelphia), Fani is the second coming, and this is a tried and true Trump tactic, finding dirt on the noble DAs Fighting For Democracy. (My Alexa here in Central FL almost became part of my spring training practice.)

She might follow in the footsteps of former Baltimore state attorney Marilyn Mosby. She was a BLM uppity entitled full of herself black woman too. Total gutter trash. Now she's looking at up to 40 years in prison.

Most lawyers make terrible witnesses. They don’t know when to shut up.

In closing arguments Trump’s attorney should pound the perjury and fraud angle hard. Trump deserves a fair trial, and attorneys who have consciously engaged in what appears to be multiple acts of perjury and/or fraud are inherently not to be trusted as trial lawyers, and decency requires that both of them be removed immediately. The appearance of willful criminal conduct requires it! I agree that the judge will probably punt, but it’s going to be hard for him to justify leniency upon appellate review of the trial transcript.

" She kept talking when it wasn’t called for - thinking/hoping it would throw the court off stride."

Defense attorneys dislike it when cops take the stand. All they get is yes, no, or I don't recall. The more Willis talks, the more issues she raises which require investigation and more cross examination. Trump's attorneys need to keep drilling her and get her to explode.

She is so stupid she dies not understand... that... she is on trial and in a compromised position.

She has unlimited cash on hand but no way to prove how she got it.

I would say she is ripe for a swat or FBI raid and her money taken away.

Nope. Too many women know she slept with a married man she bought and paid for, and that Christian Church she showboat won’t have her back. The MSM might try but she is the Current Poster Child for everything wrong with Blacks - she is drawing unwanted attention to low community standards, and a lack of intelligence.

I’m so sick of these activist judges who have no business at all being a judge.

They can either be a non partisan judge or an activist. Not both and definitely not bought and paid for by their masters, whomever that might be.

Even MSNBC say she’s toast.

She was the worst witness I’ve ever seen today.

The just finally told her she was going to far. He warned
her and said the next time would involve some form of
penalty. (my wording, not his)

Business Insider...😆😆😆😆. Nothing to do with Business. I watched part of the trial with my own eyes. She was a joke as well as her boyfriend. Apparently, Business Insider was hoping no one was watching.
