    Going by the reports I’ve heard, the prosecutor in Atlanta might be out of job just as Trump moves into the White House. At least Hunter Biden paid for his sex partners. This woman paid for hers on the public’s dime.

    What kickbacks did the prosecutor get? Be specific. We can go one at a time if you want.

    These kickbacks...

    "The filing alleges that Willis and Wade have been involved in a romantic relationship that began before Wade was appointed special prosecutor. It says they traveled together to Napa Valley and Florida, and they cruised the Caribbean together using tickets Wade purchased from Norwegian and Royal Caribbean cruise lines

    The motion said the checks sent to Wade from Fulton County and his subsequent purchase of vacations for Willis could amount to honest services fraud, a federal crime in which a vendor gives kickbacks to an employer. It is also possible this could be prosecuted under the federal racketeering statute, the motion said"

    No, unlike Trump supporters, I actually believe that. And, since you didn't read what I actually wrote and never will, I never said Willis should be above the law.

    You're holding her above the law. She could shoot someone on Peachtree St and you would swear she didn't do it...lol

    As entertaining as your wild imagination is, maybe try sticking to facts for a bit. Use things like "evidence" and "reason" instead of just making up **** to tickle your pickle.

    It looks like Willis may have taken a page out of Biden's playbook.

    Georgia DA Fani Willis accused of paying prosecutor in Trump case less than alleged squeeze Nathan Wade

    Under fire Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis stands accused of paying one of her special prosecutors $100 less per hour than her less-qualified alleged lover Nathan Wade.

    Court records show Wade billing the Fulton District Attorney’s office $250 per hour for his work prosecuting Donald Trump and 18 others on state racekteering charges over 2020 election interference in November and December 2021, despite having no experience in that area of law.

    Meanwhile John Floyd — regarded the state’s foremost expert on Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) cases — was only billing $150 an hour in those same months, according to a contract obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

    Defense attorney Merchant has responded to Fani's racism allegations by saying she has the evidence to prove her claims and also has witnesses who are ready and willing to testify against her.

    Crying racism clearly wasn't a denial. She's just complaining about what she feels is the motive behind the people exposing her.

    Fatty Willis knows she's ****ed. That's why she played the race card and the "I can't help it, because I'm black and I can't do any better" bullshit...lol

    Next, we'll hear how hard life was for her growing up on a cotton plantation and how her daddy plowed fields 24 hours a day as a share cropper, until he was killed by the KKK while they were burning a cross in their front yard, while her momma was in labor with her fifteenth child and then her mom died because she had to work four jobs (for white people) and Fatty was the oldest of fifteen kids, so she had to raise them and she still has four of them in high school and college and how she "aint never had no options" and on, and on, and, on.

    Hunter Biden's lawyer charges $800 and hour and up. And he'll even take Ukraine hryvnias and Chinese yuan and not just American dollars.

    Fani Willis: Yeah I Hired My Unqualified Fun Toy and Had Sexcations With Him on the Taxpayer Dime -- Just Like Martin Luther King, Jr. Did

    Holy Smokes!

    'Truly, she too Has a Dream.'

    'A dream of going on a taxpayer-paid vacation in Napa Valley and getting grape juice sucked off her toes after stomping some grapes.'

    'Fani Willis went to a black church for political campaigning purposes -- that's allowed; you're just not allowed to politick in a white conservative church -- and admitted that she has sinned and needs "grace."'

    'And then she said: You know who else was smeared by an FBI sex scandal? That's right, Martin Luther King Jr. I'm just like him, when you think about it.'

    'First she claimed that her taxpayer-provided Fun Toy had "impeccable credentials."'

    'God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things, Willis told churchgoers. "I'm as flawed as they come," she said. "And one thing you will come to learn about me is I make sure everyone else is good, and sometimes I'm not,"'

    'Then she conceded that she wasn't "perfect" and must be allowed to "stumble" on to some choice meat. And he concluded that by saying that Martin Luther King Jr. got caught in a sex scandal, too. Amazing.'

    Looks like she's admitted everything. Unfortunately, some of these things look like more clearly crimes, that the stretched out crap she's trying to wrap around Trump.

    $250 an hour is actually very cheap. But supposedly it's more than his experience warrants and is definitely more expensive than keeping it in house or hiring a new in-house prosecutor. There's no reason to hire an external attorney who has no felony experience though.

    A few seconds of research would show you that we are talking hundreds of dollars per hour.

    "You cannot expect Black women to be perfect and save the world," Willis said.

    Refresh my memory. Do we have one set of laws for Black Women trying to save the world, and another set for everyone else? Does this special set of laws for BWTSTW allow them to overpay their married boyfriends so that they can afford to take them of Sexvacations to exotic getaways on the taxpayers dime?

    No wonder she's charged all this crap on Trump. She has no idea how the law works and that it applies a single standard to EVERYONE.

    You can't expect a Black Woman not to hump her direct reports? Are you kidding me? This woman is a deranged racist. Black women are just as capable of being reputable and law abiding as every other adult. I'd like to hear what Condoleezza Rice has to say about "Slap My" Fani's self-justifying pity party.

    'Fani Willis, you see, is MLK in a skirt, and just like MLK, she has sinned. And because she shares the same skin tone as MLK, she should be forgiven for any sin she committed. Sounds like Black privilege to me. But then again, I am racist for having noticed, because nobody would be criticizing Willis for hiring her boy toy if she were White.'

    He's making ~3x the salary as the DA while working on a single case. And it's his first felony case. According to the court filing he should be making half that hourly rate based on his experience. It also makes no sense because they could have just hired an experienced prosecutor and actually sworn them in for a lot less. But, would another prosecutor been willing to spank the fani? That's the million-dollar question, literally.

    It isn't unusual for attorneys to charge hundreds of dollars per hour. How do you guys not know this?
