Look Away! Pay No Attention to Trump’s Crimes

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is targeted by right-wing attacks, aiming to discredit her investigation into Trump’s alleged election interference. These attacks focus on her personal life and professional decisions, including her appointment of Nathan Wade, amidst the backdrop of a slam-dunk RICO case against Trump.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is targeted by right-wing attacks, aiming to discredit her investigation into Trump’s alleged election interference. These attacks focus on her personal life and professional decisions, including her appointment of Nathan Wade, amidst the backdrop of a slam-dunk RICO case against Trump.


District Attorney Fani Willis of Fulton County, Georgia, finds herself the object of the right-wing smear machine. Willis, the tenacious prosecutor spearheading the high-profile investigation into former President Donald Trump’s interference in the 2020 election, is now facing the Madison Cawthorn Treatment (formerly known as the Strzok Page Backhand).

Republican’s are doing their damnedest to spread whispers and rumors about Willis’ personal life, and are hoping this latest legal move could potentially cast a shadow over the integrity of the case against Trump. Even the slimy, coatless Jim Jordan has stepped in it with a letter from the House Judiciary Committee, seeking ‘answers’. What a loser.

The allegations against Willis, though not specified in the source material, are designed to shift public opinion away from Trump’s litany of crimes, to the prosecutor’s personal life. (R)s are seeking a rodeo of impropriety to obscure what is shaping up to be a meticulously built case. The case against Trump, a full-blown RICO affair, now risks being engulfed in what is a contrived controversy.

As DA, Willis is free to bring on the team she wants. She has to decide who is best for the case and the specific situation. On paper, there are thousands of attorneys who might have more experience, or have a different case strategy approach, but Willis picked Nathan Wade. That’s her call. We don’t know what kinds of official disclosures regarding personal relationships, if any, have been made outside the public view. It’s not for the public’s purview. Maybe they have a relationship, maybe they don’t. Who cares?

So Wade earns a ton of money. Great for him. There’s no reporting on how much it costs Wade to field his legal team at the Wade & Campbell firm. MAGA lords want us to believe Wade is just some dude who has a no-show job and pockets his cash for lux hideaway trips with Willis. That they somehow created the perfect cash cyclone machine that will keep them both pampered in diamonds and champagne to and fro from Hawaii and beyond.

Anyhow, there is zero possibility that one guy is handling the entire RICO case, and even if the DA has other public employees working on it, the case is vast, and certainly those costs are substantial. Wade is compensated as the market and case requires. Plus, who’s complaining what Alina Habba earns? You can bet she’s not paying that $1M fine for being a useless, terrible lawyer. Should we start some wink-wink whispers about Donny and Alina on tour together? Nah, let Patrick Bet-David do that.

Interesting, that the main focus of the allegations are sealed records from a divorce proceeding between Wade and his wife. In what seems to be a timing loophole, an investigator for Jennifer Little, the Trump lawyer we know from last season’s attorney-crime story, was able to use the now sealed information as the basis of her unsubstantiated motion against Willis.

If Willis ran afoul of personal reporting requirements, then she has to fix that and figure out the best way to proceed. Despite all the innuendo, the facts are still clear that Trump was the central figure in the Georgia election fraud scheme. Nathan Wade didn’t make the ‘perfect phone call’. Fani Willis didn’t ruin the lives of two women with claims of voter fraud. These things happened because Donald Trump and his RICO defendants couldn’t accept people might not want Trump as their president after his disastrous four years.
