The Truth About Fani Willis​
Radical Democrat Fani Willis Is Campaigning And Fundraising On Her Bogus Indictments Of President Trump

Fani Willis Is A Democrat Activist
  • In 2021, She Endorsed And Fundraised For The Democrat Political Opponent Of A Republican Georgia State Senator Who Was A Target Of Her Criminal Investigation.(Endorsement Video, Charlie Bailey Campaign Facebook Page, 1/30/21)

  • Willis’s Prior Partisan Political Activity Disqualified Her From Investigating An Election Witness. “A judge Monday effectively barred a Georgia prosecutor from investigating Republican state Sen. Burt Jones…saying she was disqualified by hosting a campaign fundraiser for Jones’ political opponent.” (CNBC, 7/25/22)

  • The judge ruled that Fani Willis’ actions constituted a “plain — and actual and untenable — conflict,” and commented that “It’s a ‘What are you thinking?’ moment. The optics are horrific.” (Washington Post, 7/25/22)

Willis Is Using The Trump Indictment To Fundraise And Campaign

On The Eve Of Her Anticipated Indictment Of President Trump, Willis Launched Her New 2023 Re-Election Campaign Website To Take Maximum Advantage Of Her New-found Fame. “While the nation awaits the results of her office’s more-than-two-year investigation into alleged attempts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has launched a new fundraising website. On Thursday, Willis sent out an email to her supporters. ‘Friend, we wanted you to know first that our new website is up and ready for you to share with your friends and family,’ it said. ‘Sign up to volunteer, host an event, and continue to support the team! Thank you for your continued support to build a brighter future for Fulton County. With gratitude, Team Fani.’ Willis’ team launched the website as a Fulton County grand jury continues weighing whether to level charges or indictments against the nation’s 45th president.” (Atlanta News First, 8/10/23)


Willis’s DA Office Leaked A Charging Sheet Against President Trump, Tainting The Jury Pool By Highlighting 13 Felony Charges, Before The Grand Jury Voted Or Any Charges Were Announced. “A two-page docket report posted to the Fulton County court website indicated charges against Trump including racketeering, conspiracy, and false statements. The appearance of the report set off a flurry of news media activity, but then the document vanished. A spokesperson for the district attorney said reports ‘that those charges were filed [are] inaccurate. Beyond that we cannot comment.’” (The Guardian, 8/14/23)

  • President Trump’s Attorneys Drew Findling And Jennifer Little Respond: “The Fulton County District Attorney's Office has once again shown that they have no respect for the integrity of the grand jury process. This was not a simple administrative mistake. A proposed indictment should only be in the hands of the District Attorney's Office, yet it somehow made its way to the clerk's office and was assigned a case number and a judge before the grand jury even deliberated. This is emblematic of the pervasive and glaring constitutional violations which have plagued this case from its very inception.” (Statement, 8/14/23)

Fani Willis Bragged To Left-Wing Media Outlets About Her Efforts To Take Down Trump.

  • Willis Appeared Repeatedly (Nearly 40 Times) On Left-Wing TV Shows And Media Outlets Throughout Her Investigation. (Amended Complaint, No. 2023CV382670, 7/20/23)


    • Rather than remaining impartial, Willis opined about the ongoing investigation openly to the media, telling TIME that she had a “what in the hell” moment when she heard President Trump’s phone call. (Time Magazine, 9/28/21)
    • In a 2022 interview, Willis said that “on day one” she knew that an investigation of Trump may be warranted. Willis went on to explain that upon hearing the phone call, “almost immediately I knew if there was something to be done…that we would be the appropriate office.” (USA Today, 2/14/22)
  • Willis’s Campaign Account Tweeted A Political Cartoon Promoting Her Investigation Of President Trump. In July 2022, after subpoenaing a multitude of high-profile witnesses, Fani Willis tweeted a biased political cartoon on her campaign twitter account depicting her fishing for a recently subpoenaed witness who appeared in the cartoon to be living as a fish in a swamp. (Amended Complaint, No. 2023CV382670, 7/20/23)


Willis Raised A Vast Majority Of Her Campaign Funds By Promoting Her Election Investigation On Social Media.

  • Nearly 75% Of Her Entire Contribution Haul Came In The Immediate Aftermath Of Her Tweets Promoting The Investigation. “In 2022, according to her campaign disclosure report, the District Attorney received a total of 737 donations—533 of those donations came in the days immediately following her retweeting requests for donations and followers in light of this investigation, which Petitioner highlighted in his original motion. See Motion to Quash, attached hereto as Exhibit 1, Sec. 4(B)(ii). To be clear, those donations comprise 72.3% of the District Attorney’s 2022 individual campaign.” (Amended Complaint, No. 2023CV382670, 7/20/23)

  • Over 90% Of Willis’s Contributions Came From Out Of State Donors. “Despite the District Attorney being a state prosecutor in a single-county circuit, less than 8% of her donations came from Georgians. The other 92% were from 45 other states.” (Amended Complaint, No. 2023CV382670, 7/20/23)

A Family Steeped In Hate

  • Fani Willis Is The Daughter Of A Former Black Panther. “The daughter of a former Black Panther who recently retired as a criminal defense lawyer, the Inglewood, Calif.-born Willis would go along when her father went to court on Saturday mornings. The judge who oversaw the Saturday courtroom, an older white man, was, according to Willis, known to be mean. But each week, he had Willis, too young to stay home alone or to hear the details her father needed to discuss with clients, sit next to him on the elevated dais, the two whispering back and forth. One day, Willis’ father asked her what on earth they talked about.” (Time Magazine, 9/28/21)

  • “Fani has a seemingly proud family background as an African-American woman. As what can now be considered a conscious foreshadowing to her future endeavors, she describes her Swahili name’s intended meaning, saying: “My name is actually Fani (fah-nee), Taifa is my middle name, and my last name is Willis. So, my father was a Black Panther, so he was very Afrocentric… my name is Swahili. Fani actually means ‘prosperous,’ and Taifa means ‘people’.” (Fulton County Government Website, 1/4/21)

Fani Willis’s Investigation Has Been Compromised By Unethical Conduct And Political Bias.

  • Fulton County Judge Described The Grand Jury Investigation As “One-Sided” With “Very Limited Due Process.” The Fulton County Superior Court Judge ordered that any of the Grand Jury’s recommendations on who might be prosecuted must remain secret for now since the grand jury investigation was “one-sided” and there was “very limited due process” for the people whom the grand jury recommended charges. (Fox News, 2/25/23; Fox News, 2/13/23)

Willis’s Investigation Lasted Over Two And A Half Years, Suspiciously Long, And Timed To Interfere With The 2024 Presidential Election.

  • Legal Analyst Elie Honig Stated “I Know Investigations Take Time. This Should Not Have Taken Two And A Half Plus Years.” (CNN, 4/24/23)

An Earlier Grand Jury’s Foreman, Emily Kohrs Went On A Days-Long, Bizarre Media Tour Hinting At The Grand Jury’s Potential Criminal Indictment Of President Trump.

  • Kohrs Spoke To The Associated Press, The New York Times, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, And Gave Lengthy Interviews With NBC And CNN. (Fox News, 3/27/23)

  • Even Left-Wing Media Outlets Criticized The Grand Jury Foreman’s Behavior.

  • CNN legal analyst Elie Honig called the grand jury foreman’s media appearances a “prosecutor’s nightmare.” Honig noted, "We're talking about taking away somebody's liberty. She doesn't seem to be taking this very seriously." (CNN, 2/22/23)
  • CNN’s liberal anchor, Anderson Cooper agreed, "First of all, why this person is talking on TV? I do not understand," Cooper said. "She's clearly enjoying herself. But, I mean, is this responsible? She was the foreperson of this grand jury!" (Fox News, 2/25/23)


Willis Has A Troubling History Of Politically-Motivated Decisions.

  • Willis Refused To Prosecute Abortion Cases After Roe V. Wade Was Overturned, Putting Her Personal Political Agenda Above The Rule Of Law. (Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 6/24/22)

Under Fani Willis, Violent Crime Exploded In Atlanta.

  • In 2021, Atlanta Murders Increased 60% Compared To 2020, Making It One Of The Highest In The Nation. “Murders in Atlanta have spiked nearly 60% year to date, with almost two dozen more killings reported so far compared to 2020’s statistics, police department data shows.” (Fox News, 6/14/21)


Willis Hid A Prior Relationship With A Member Of A Gang She Was Prosecuting

Willis Was The Lawyer For A YSL Gang Co-Founder In 2019 In An Aggravated Assault Case. “Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has built a reputation as a tough-on-crime prosecutor eager to fill Atlanta prisons through sweeping indictments. But YSL Mondo, who co-founded the Young Stoner Life music crew with Young Thug in the early 2010s, tells Rolling Stone that the Fani Willis he sees on TV isn't the same woman who served as his defense attorney in 2019 during an aggravated assault case.” (RollingStone, 1/25/23)


Mondo Said That Willis Was A “Great Attorney” And That They Shared A “Cool Relationship.” “Mondo says that Willis was a "great attorney" for him, getting his aggravated assault charge dropped to a lesser one and having him sentenced to "a program" in lieu of prison time. He says that even after his sentence, she worked to get him an early release from the program due to COVID. And beyond her casework, he says that the two shared a "cool relationship," with her being aware of his rap career and even using it in her defense. That's why the YSL indictment is surprising to Mondo. "That's not her character," he contends. "She's almost like, not really street, but she understands what goes on, bro. She understands life to a certain degree. She ain't trying to take all these little Black dudes down. She ain't that type of woman, man. I'm telling you, she's not.” (Rolling Stone, 1/25/23)

Willis Was Accused Of Falsifying A Subpoena In 2022

In 2022, Willis Was Accused Of Prosecutorial Misconduct And Abuse Of Grand Jury Power. HEADLINE: “(Exclusive Details) Young Thug’s Lawyer Seeks To Have RICO Case Tossed On Technicality, Accuses DA Of Prosecutorial Misconduct, Abuse Of Grand Jury Power.’ (The Shade Room, 11/9/22)

Willis Was Accused Of Filing ‘Sham’ And ‘Fake’ Grand Jury Subpoenas. ‘Young Thug‘s lawyers are looking to have his RICO case dismissed based on a technicality, accusing the district attorney of filing ‘sham’ and ‘fake’ grand jury subpoenas as the rap star continues to languish in Georgia’s Cobb County Jail, The Shade Room can exclusively report. Last Thursday (Nov. 3), Brian Steel of The Steel Law Firm, who is representing Thugger, filed a motion to dismiss all charges against their client on grounds of prosecutors abusing ‘it’s authority by utilizing a sham Grand Jury Subpoena.’” (The Shade Room, 11/9/22)
You know the real joke here is that they think anyone - let alone one of his cult members - will read all of that.
 
There is no way he goes to prison. He deserves to, but it would upend the whole country to put a former president in prison.

If he is convicted on State RICO charges there is no way for him to be pardoned and a compulsory minimum 5 year prison sentence.

People keep saying this and I understand the law but putting an ex-President in prison over state charges (or anything really in America) is just something that they don't do.

I'd be wholeheartedly surprised and happy if they treated him like the average Joe but they won't, doubly so due to his supporters predilection for armed protests, even if there are (a lot) less of them now. America is a joke.

If he is convicted of the state based RICO charges there is no choice as the statutory minimum jail term is 5 years. And pardons are not possible.

I'm guessing that he hopes to kick the can down the road long enough, with his Presidential run, so that he dies before being convicted.

Firstly it won't upset the whole country, just a portion of lunatics that refuse to believe anything except what they believe which is mainly batshit crazy conspiracy theories and lies.

Secondly, with the amount of charges he is facing and the evidence against him, much from his own mouth and much of the rest from those closest to him, I think that more people would be upset if HE DIDNT GO TO JAIL.

The USA has always prided itself on a fair justice system, or at least the pretence of one. The reason they haven't jailed a former President before is simply because no President has ever had to face so many charges with so much evidence against them. They absolutely have to set a precedent with Trump, for their own sake let alone for the rest of the world.

He will either get the book thrown at him hard and die in prison or manage to broker a deal where he's kept permanently under house arrest, but I honestly do think this time they absolutely have to punish him accordingly. Not doing so is without question far more dangerous IMHO as it makes a complete mockery out of the justice system and rule of law and says the President is completely untouchable.

We’ve never been remotely close to where we are with Trump. He will serve jail time if convicted in GA as well as the J6 case.

There will not be any armed protests of note if Trump gets a prison sentence, that time has passed.

Not sure how you can conclude that when a US president has never even been charged with a crime before. This is the first time an ex-President has faced the possibility of jail time, first time its being put to the test.

No he won't be treated like the average Joe. i.e. he wouldn't be mixing with general population, but I'm struggling to see anyway he's going to avoid jail time at this rate, if found guilty, as is expected.

Actually the 5 year prison sentence is not wholly accurate, the 5 year sentence is mandatory but the punishment doesn't have to be prison, it can be a 5 year probation, part probation, part prison or other combinations such as house arrest

Pardon wise, he still could be pardoned, in Georgia it's a board of people rather than the Governor, bit like a parole board I guess

I still reckon he'll be in jail for more than 5 years if he's found guilty but it's not guaranteed

But it would take a Republican politician to pardon him if convicted. A parole board type arrangement would need a miscarriage of justice to pardon someone I assume.

You would think but it doesn't appear to work that way here, a President can pardon anyone n the federal system, in most states the Governor can do the same, they have free reign, miscarriages of justice has little to do with it

Georgia by the way has a Republican Governor and state legislature but it's doubtful he would pardon Trump anyway even if he could.

I understood that Georgia doesn't allow Governers to pardon.
 
No pardon-ability even if the case gets kicked up to the federal level.

We will undoubtedly see those named conspirators flip in very short order.

I said upend, not upset. I would be delighted to see him behind bars.

The issue is that the GOP's electorate is made up of a large percentage of hard core of Trump die hards.
Even with Trump potentially behind bars, the only way they can keep their voting coalition together is to stick with him. They will elect even more extreme candidates who will look to get in office with the sole aim of freeing Trump.

We know every time Trump goes too far, a few Republicans speak out against it for a day or two, then they fall back inline. Lindsey Graham being the perfect example. He is the epitome of a political weather vein.

The US pays lip service to "equal justice under law", but in reality, justice in the US is far from equal. Trump is already being treated very differently than other criminals.

He will either get the book thrown at him hard and die in prison or manage to broker a deal where he's kept permanently under house arrest, but I honestly do think this time they absolutely have to punish him accordingly. Not doing so is without question far more dangerous IMHO as it makes a complete mockery out of the justice system and rule of law and says the President is completely untouchable.

Or he will win the election, pardon himself of the federal charges and pull the levers in order to drop the NY and Georgia cases.
 
If he is convicted on State RICO charges there is no way for him to be pardoned and a compulsory minimum 5 year prison sentence.

I dont beleive there is a compulsory minimum. Several sites say...

"A conviction under Georgia’s RICO statute will result in a 5- to 20-year sentence, a fine, or both. A judge may fine a defendant up to three times the amount of any money obtained by the defendant during the scheme."

He will end up with a fine.

Plus, the RICO charge is so sprawling, with so many defendants that it will drag on forever.

Look at the Georgia YSL trial. Jury selection started over 7 months ago. The lawyers are tabling pre trial motions which will further delay. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing collapsed. And that is for a bunch of street thugs/rappers. How complex will it be for a former President?

He doesn't have any levers to pull in the NYC and Georgia cases, a President has zero power in State affairs, DOJ has a policy that says you can't charge a President in office, as far as I know that only applies to Federal cases, so, in theory, Trump could be President and still be prosecuted though I suspect it wouldn't happen

It'll be far easier to pick a jury in the Trump case.

Is there smoking gun evidence in the YSL as there is in his case?

It'll be complex & take a decent amount of time, but it seems it will be more fluid than YSL.
 
It would be like OJ Simpson x1000

If he was sentenced, i could see it going all the way upto the Supreme Court. We know how they would vote.

There would be a constitutional crisis.
You need to tone down the hyperbole. It would in no way be congruent with the OJ verdict.

Actually there is a minimum mandatory 5 year sentence if convicted, but that doesn't have to be jail, it can be probation and/or other measures in combination

Yeah, this. I remember where I was the moment the OJ verdict was announced. We had TV's turned on in school to watch it and a roar went up as I was walking between buildings between class periods. Granted, I was living in LA so we were in the area of the trial, but that verdict, and the trial itself, were 90% of the news cycle. Can you imagine if there had been social media back then? Holy feck.

The NYC case doest seem that strong. In Georgia they have a Republican governor.

Easy to pick a jury in the Trump case? Are you joking?
How are you going to find 12 people in America without ingrained opinions and prejudices, for or against Trump?
A jury has to be fair and impartial, or they will be dismissed for cause.

The OJ trial split the country along racial lines. The political and social lines are already drawn with Trump.

OJ had no influence over anyone. Trump has shown that a perceived injustice against him can result in 30k people marching on DC, many of whom commited crimes in his name.

They aren't looking for jurors without opinions on Trump, even prejudices; they are looking for people who will swear they will judge guilt or innocence based solely on evidence presented at trial. I served on a jury once. I told the judge during voir dire that I hate the police, don't trust them, and have had a gun pulled on me by a cop (all true). They still selected me to be on the jury.

They got away with that shit once, on Jan. 6. Never again. The last couple of times Trump asked his minions to come out and protest, almost no one showed up. Most of those MAGAts are keyboard warriors at best. There are plenty of militias and white supremacists out there who will be outraged, but we have the US Armed Forces to take care of that problem. There is literally zero chance Trump's angry fans can do anything more impactful than cry moar. 800 or so people have already been tried for Jan 6 with several hundred sentenced to prison. That ain't happening again. feck them.

A jury will be impaneled much quicker than YSL. Not everyone is political nor would they fear for their life if they were on a jury that convicts.

The two trials won’t be on the same level of impact. Trump simply doesn’t have that much cache outside his dwindling base.

Trump was in a jury trial in May for his civil charges of rape / sexual assault.
 
The NYC case doest seem that strong. In Georgia they have a Republican governor.
NYC is strong but it's not as serious and jail is unlikely in that case

Republican Governor in GA means nothing, GA Governor doesn't have pardon powers and he also hates Trump so even if he did have the power he likely wouldn't use it

The bar is set at finding people that are "fair and impartial" .

If that was the case, then jury selection would be done in no time.
As mentioned earlier, they have been selecting jurors for over 6 months in the YSL trial. Defence council will do anything to gum up the process. Trumps legal team will claim that practically no one can be "fair and impartial" towards Trump.
 
I'm expecting him to be behind bars before he even goes to trial tbh.
