Yesterday Fani Willis continued self-destructing going around 90 m.p.h. ABC ran the story headlined, “Judge in Trump election case moves forward with misconduct hearing, saying DA's disqualification 'possible' if evidence warrants.”

In case you’ve just returned from a long mission trip in the Congo or something, Willis is the “voters’ choice” for District Attorney in Fulton County, Georgia (Atlanta). She infamously indicted President Trump under novel, never-before-seen, creative interpretations of Georgia’s RICO law. Willis is being attacked from several directions, including her character, honesty, and professionalism, and yesterday the court heard her desperate motion to cancel an upcoming evidentiary hearing about her misconduct.

CLIP: Judge remarks about possibility of removing DA Willis (1:27).

Alas, the hearing did not go as well as the District Attorney would have liked. First of all, the judge refused to quash the subpoenas issued against her by the folks moving for her disqualification. He also refused to cancel the Thursday evidentiary hearing. Then, at one key point, the judge said two prongs must be proved for Willis to be disqualified: (1) that she had a personal relationship with Nathan Wade, and (2) that she personally benefited from the relationship.

Then the judge said since DA Willis already admitted the first prong, the existence of the relationship, all that was left was for the court to take evidence and testimony on the second prong, and would do so at the hearing on Thursday. He then dropped the widely reported comment:

"I think it’s possible that the facts alleged by the defendant could result in disqualification; I think an evidentiary hearing must occur to establish the record.” — Judge Scott McAfee

Boom. Now Fani only has two days to get ready. And assuming Fani doesn’t resign first, that hearing is going to be lit.

Defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant, who aggressively represents Trump’s co-defendant Michael Roman and has already secured her career for all time, pictured lower left, above, dropped a bomb during the hearing that many observers missed. She’s already caught special prosecutor Nathan Wade lying.

According to attorney Merchant, the amorous Wade, who was always inexperienced but was keen to learn, filed an affidavit in his divorce case in 2022 flatly denying any sexual relationship with Fani Willis. But last week he gave Willis an affidavit saying the exact opposite, admitting that he had, in fact, had an affair with Willis (just quibbling about whether the affair started before or after Willis hired him) pre-dating his first affidavit.

Both affidavits cannot possibly be true. Was the Special Prosecutor lying then? Or is he lying now?

Nobody is talking about this, but Wade’s contradictory affidavits cooked his little gander. He’s roasted his sausage. He’s pickled his lawyer’s pen. He is a dead lawyer walking. He just doesn’t know it yet.

When he filed the new affidavit, Wade also tried to “fix” his first affidavit by filing an “amendment” — not even admitting the affair, which is weird because he did do that, in Fani’s case, but instead invoking Fifth Amendment privilege, meaning he could be criminally convicted by his answer, so he invoked the right not to testify against himself.

Presumably the criminal prosecution he has in mind would be for perjury (not that Fani is likely to bring the case, since Nathan is currently riding in First Class). So you have Trump being prosecuted for lying by a special prosecutor who undeniably lied to the court under oath in at least one of the two cases. Perfect!

As if all that’s not bad enough, Fani’s problems are reproducing faster than jackrabbits who just signed a Fulton County law contract. On top of facing multiple disqualification motions over snuggling with Wade, last week a new defendant, David Schafer, jumped in the disqualification ring, accusing the DA of prosecutorial misconduct for running her big fat mouth so much in public, both before and after being accused of pimping Mr. Wade.

You see, Defendants in a criminal case are entitled to a fair trial, and prosecutors like Willis can’t just sail around calling the Defendants racists and poisoning the potential jury pool.

Not only that, but hardworking defense lawyer Ashleigh Merchant is now also probing Nathan Wade through a previously-untouched orifice: a botched 2020 jail-deaths investigation, overseen by Willis and Wade, for which Wade also allegedly over-charged the County. According to available details, Wade may be implicated in a corrupt coverup of unbelievable numbers of mostly-black inmate sudden deaths in Fulton County jail.

I want to make two observations about all this. First, there will come a point, if we aren’t already there, where Judge McAfee will have finally had enough. Even if he’s the biggest, most deranged Trump hater around, sooner or later he’ll get mad at Fani for dragging all her nonsense into his courtroom. And once he’s mad at Fani, either for that reason or from a proper sense of offended righteousness, the judge will find himself dining at the legal version of the Golden Corral, and he can take a helping of this argument, and a helping of that argument, and slice up Fani’s goose any way he wants.

But second, and this is the more important point, the extended list of all the reasons why presidents have never before been indicted by local prosecutors must include the important point that they were never dumb enough to try it. Since some point early in the country’s history, presidential politics have always been a blood sport. Just ask the manager of Ford’s theater.

Simply put, any prosecutor targeting a sitting president, a presidential candidate, or a former president, better be prepared to have half the entire world crawling up their biznaz with an electron microscope, making a comprehensive colorectal exam look like something that could happen on telemedicine. Will all that scrutiny, to avoid crashing right into the ditch, you need a squeaky-clean prosecutor who can make squeaky-clean prosecutors look dirty.

But the problem is, no squeaky-clean prosecutor would ever take the case. So if you’re Biden, you are forced to work with a bunch of incompetent morons like Fani Willis and Nathan Wade.

As I’ve said over and over, the Fulton County prosecution is unsustainable. It’s only a matter of time.

https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/foolish-fanny-friday-february-16

The pair of law enforcement professionals adopted the fraudster’s classic excuse: all the critical transactions that cleared everything up and resolved all the problems happened without records or receipts because it was all done in cash. They never wrote any of the payments down anywhere because they just trusted each other. They never mentioned all the cash payments in any text messages or emails or anything because just because. Mostly it was Fani paying Wade back, for squiring her through a series of sensuous, all-frills romantic vacations in exotic, high-roller destinations like Belize, Aruba, and Napa, California, where she toured wineries and noshed at five-star restaurants. ...

The trial is creating a massive victory for President Trump by putting an indelible face on his adversaries. Fani Willis and Nathan Wade are creating a kind of marketing brand, a brand representing the forces opposing Trump. It’s a brand that will surely lose with most Americans. It’s remarkably like the way Bud Lite accidentally destroyed its brand by permanently associating its tasteless beverage with an unattractive cross-dresser. ...

The problems for the prosecutors began almost immediately after Fani Willis took the stand. She made a horribly mistaken theatrical decision to play herself as an overinflated caricature of an entitled black woman — a black Karen — acting antagonistic, aggressive, abusive, and argumentative. She even argued with the judge.

For some reason, Fani spoke in an inner-city black patois rather than in normal English. For example, when asked how she knew how much cash to pay Nathan Wade, she answered, “He tells me how much it is and I gives him the money back… I don’t do my friends like that. So if you tell me it’s a G, then you gon’ get a thousand dolla’s.”

She did not sound like a hardworking, crime-fighting District Attorney of one of America’s biggest cities. She sounded like a moron.

An entitled moron. It’s difficult to imagine America relating to Fani’s profligate spending, jet-setting, cruising, shopping, and multiple luxury vacations every year. Who does she think she is? And what are we to make of her all-cash life, living off the banking grid? It won’t be long now till folks start asking some uncomfortable questions. Like, wouldn’t a corrupt public official also have a lot of cash lying around their house? Cash they can’t exactly remember where it came from? Like, maybe it was left over from the last campaign, who knows?

All that cash is not … bribe money, is it? Because that’s the classic pattern. ...

At one point in her testimony, Fani — Atlanta’s top law-enforcement official — admitted that she let a personal tax lien sit unpaid for several years while she was busily taking First Class vacations and funneling large amounts of cash to her secret lover. When asked by one of the attorneys if she paid cash for cruises but not for her tax lien, Fani admitted yes, defiantly adding “and I went shopping too, and I didn’t pay it off.”

Paying off your tax liens is for coach class citizens.

Finally, and most lamentably, Fani showed over and over that she was not the sharpest intellect in the district’s drawer. When asked by a Defendant’s lawyer how many continents she’d traveled to, Fani struggled to comprehend what a continent is. I am not making that up. She said:

“Where's Belize? What continent? I'm not being funny. I don't know. I been to Belize with him. I been to the Bahamas with him. I been to Aruba with him. Don't embarrass me. I'm not sure what continents those are on.” ...

At the close of Day One, we are left with a rare, intimate view into America’s blue ruling class, the pinnacle of the Nation’s new two-tiered legal system: Petulant, entitled, uneducated, virtueless, shady, overpaid, and fantastically incompetent. This is the Democrat party’s best and brightest, the warriors selected to prosecute the history-shattering case and legally assassinate a former President and current Presidential candidate.

Yesterday was Fani Willis’s turn, her big scene. The Fulton County, Georgia, DA, wasn’t even scheduled to testify, but she barged into Judge Scott McAfee’s courtroom and seized possession of the witness stand, like it was home-base in a game of ringolevio. This was after the morning vivisection of her boyfriend, the feckless Nathan Wade, testifying to the couple’s fun-filled romantic travels during the months they were supposedly busy constructing a racketeering case against Donald Trump and eighteen others scooped into their dragnet.

The reason the lovebirds could take so much time cavorting across the Caribbean and California — vineyard tours featuring “pairings of champagne, chocolate, and caviar,” Ms. Willis testified — is because their Fulton County case was entirely prepped for them out of DC by Mary McCord, the veteran blob lawyer active in every Get-Trump hoax cooked up since 2016. (And I’d bet cash-money that she had plenty of assistance from Lawfare blobsters Norm Eisen and Andrew Weissmann.) The complex particulars of the case were all teed up, ready to go. All Ms. Willis and her lead prosecutor, Mr. Wade, had to do was get the trial date set, raise the curtain, and follow the script. ...

That little opéra bouffe is but one sub-plot in the larger scenario. Also this week, the scandal of the century was re-kindled when alt-news reporters Taibbi, Shellenberger, and Guttentag filed the story of how Barack Obama and CIA Director John Brennan, with his chore girls, Avril Haines and Gina Haspel, cooked up the RussiaGate caper and fed it to the FBI, with a major assist from The New York Times, the WashPo, CNN, and other useful idiot news media vectors. All of this had actually been well-documented for years, but the reporters dredged up new corroboration from disgusted blob insiders further clarifying the origins of the hoax. ...

In the background of all these shenanigans in high places lurk three other smoldering bonfires: 1) all the lying, deception, and treason behind the Covid-19 operation that has left more than half the country susceptible to deadly vaccine injuries (and disordered our society); 2) the monumental mail-in ballot fraud of the last two elections (2020, 2022) enabled by the Covid-19 “emergency”; and 3) the War in Ukraine which is winding down towards another US humiliation, and behind which lurks a virtual off-gassing giant landfill of money-laundering, bribery, and something that smells like treason. Also looks like BlackRock will miss out on the colossal asset-stripping op it has been looking forward to there.

Oh, and by the way, this movie is not over. A lot of the people involved are going to end up in court themselves, perhaps in prison. Stay in your seats.

Fani’s lawyers next called her dad, for one reason only, and that was to say the he “always trained Fani to keep a lot of cash around the house, because that’s a thing that black folks just do.”




Her father, John Clifford Floyd III, is (or was) a Black Panther (and Harvard law graduate), and is a walking, talking stereotype of a 1970’s black marxist activist. It’s a wonder he wasn’t wearing a bowtie instead of his red necktie. He’s clearly a sold-out communist ideologue, and was just there eager to put some stuffing in Fani’s ‘cash payments’ alibi. Overall he was preachy, wordy, uninformative, and uninteresting, but I did laugh when, after waxing eloquent about the merits of using only cash and after extolling at length the sacred custom for black folks to keep their money in bills and coins at home — “most black folks hide cash,” he explained — he later told a story about how much he liked using his American Express and Visa cards and his Traveler’s Checks back when he was running around the country working for the Revolution.

And his reason why black folks keep cash? Racism, of course. The magical invocation that explains everything and nothing at all.

One odd bit of testimony was when John explained that in 2019 he was living in South Africa and he knew Covid was coming. “I knew Covid was coming before. They may have announced it in '20 but in fact, I knew about it, and I knew what was happening in '19,” he explained. Nobody has any idea what he meant; Fani’s lawyer didn’t follow up (it wasn’t relevant to anything) although the claim has made a lot of folks curious.

Maybe he’s Nostradamus or communicates with the departed spirit of Lenin.

Also odd was John’s testimony that he does not have a very close relationship with his daughter, Fani. He’s only seen her 13 times in the last three years. He didn’t even know she was seeing Nathan Wade until six weeks ago (long after the relationship ended). He described another man, a DJ, that he said Fani was dating at the same time she was seeing Nathan Wade.

Fani’s lawyers next called her dad,

Is that Grady from Sanford and Son?

https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/regrettably-saturday-february-24

On the stand last week, both District Attorney Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade testified — repeatedly and emphatically — there was no romantic relationship between them until after Willis hired Wade in 2022, period. That fact is significant because it would prove a conflict of interest; if Fani and Wade hooked up after he was hired, then nobody can say he got special favors just because she was squeezing his lemons.

But yesterday, President Trump's lawyers filed a supplemental brief asking Judge McAfee to review explosive new information including an affidavit from a private investigator who analyzed Wade's cellphone geolocation data. The data allegedly shows that in 2021 — long before he was hired onto the Trump case — Wade twice arrived at Willis' condo in the dark midnight hours, leaving in the early morning before the sun came up, once in September and the other in November.

In other words, not during working hours. And he stayed overnight, a fact expressly denied under oath by both law enforcement professionals. The cell data also showed a minimum of 35 times in 2011 when Wade’s phone was in or near Fani’s condo for “an extended period.”

The cell phone data also showed over 2000 voice calls and just under 12,000 text messages exchanged between Willis and Wade over an 11-month period in 2021, including calls late into the evenings.

The cell phone data reinforced Robin Bryant-Yeartie’s testimony. She is the former DA office employee and former Fani friend, who testified the romantic relationship started after the love birds first met at a legal conference in October 2019. Long before Willis hired her paramour.

I’m not sure why Geraldo was the expert Newsweek picked to opine for the story, but I agree with his take. Geraldo said, “The focus of this case will continue to shift rapidly away from Trump and his co-defendants and hit squarely on the credibility and possible perjury of the prosecutor. This is more than a mere appearance of a conflict. This is an earthquake."

It was unsurprising that during the hearing the Defendants’ lawyers questioned Willis and Wade so closely about when the relationship started, since it’s such an important fact in the case. But Willis and Wade dug their own graves by maintaining what now looks like an obvious lie — and which also raises grave doubts about the other parts of their goofy story, like Fani’s imaginative, all-cash, romantic reimbursement habits because “that just what black folks do.”

Biden Operative Inserted Into Fani Team According To Insider; Jim Jordan Reveals New Whistleblower

For starters, Breitbart News reports from multiple sources that the Biden administration "planted a Democrat operative in the Fulton County office to target former President Trump," which according to the report "would present a strong argument that the administration interfered in the 2024 presidential election." ...

The alleged 'plant' in questionf is Jeff DiSantis - the county's Deputy DA, who not only worked on Willis's 2020 campaign and was the former Executive Director of the Democrat Party of Georgia, he was the DNC's deputy director of compliance.

Sources credit DiSantis with colluding with the White House to target Trump. “DiSantis did this,” one source told Breitbart News about the Trump case. “He’s the one. He is the one pulling all the strings. He was the one that walled her [Willis] off. He was in every important meeting. He is the brainchild behind this. That is the connection to the White House.”

One of Breitbart's sources said they are "one hundred percent" sure DiSantis was the inside man that the Biden administration planted in the Fulton County office.

"DiSantis is the one pulling the strings on this whole thing," a second source told the outlet. "Everybody heard Fani testify. It’s no secret that she’s not smart. That is how she sounds and acts every day of the week."

Somebody got to Fani Willis witness Terrance Bradley. Fox News updated readers on the electrifying case yesterday in an article headlined, “Key witness in Fani Willis case testifies he may have lied in texts about friends' affair.” Corporate media wildly celebrated yesterday after expected star witness, Nathan Wade’s former law partner Terrance Bradley, developed sudden adult amnesia on the stand Tuesday afternoon. He couldn’t remember squat. CRS disease. When confronted by text messages he wrote just weeks ago that contradicted his alleged memory loss, Terrance could only say he was lying then. ...

Uh huh.

But Ashleigh is a smart gal. She did not go into trial unprepared. Good trial lawyers always prepare for the unexpected, which is very difficult — by definition. Before trial, Ashleigh developed a great written record, and she even sent Terrance a copy of her original motion to disqualify Fani Willis. The motion included all the allegations about the dates of the affair and Nathan Wade’s employment. Terrance confirmed in writing (a text) that he agreed with the motion.

Here’s an example text that Ashleigh kept and then presented to Terrance at trial on Tuesday after he tried to deny knowing anything about the affair:

Trump Slams Fani Willis for Funding Affair with ‘Her Lover’ Wade Using Taxpayer Cash: ‘Paid for by the People of Georgia’

https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/trench-warfare-tuesday-march-6-2024

Soon, only robotic drone submarines will be able to still see the murky outlines of Fani’s sinking ship as it drifts down into the Marianas Trench. The New York Post’s headline explained, “Fani Willis warned Nathan Wade’s lawyer to stay quiet about affair, court filing claims: ‘They are coming after us.’” Ruh-roh. ...

But, once again, the cover-up is worse than the original crime. As I explained over the weekend, witness tampering is a serious crime. It is gangster-level stuff. If, as Yeager claimed, Fani Willis instructed Bradley “not to talk to them about anything,” Fani could be facing jail time of her own, as the huntress becomes the hunted. ...

But even more painfully for Fani, the devastation goes far beyond a harmful motion for reconsideration. Based on this new evidence of witness tampering, Georgia’s Ethics Commission could investigate Fani. The state Bar Association could investigate Fani. The state’s prosecutor could investigate the embattled Fulton County DA.

Fani could easily be disbarred over this, and if she is, the Trump prosecution will crumble.

Last week, Fani’s lawyers argued forcefully that the luxury vacations and the sex romps have nothing to do with the prosecution of President Trump and his co-defendants. But, if Fani is found to have committed crimes in her prosecution of the case — crimes like witness tampering — the case goes away.

A hundred percent, Fani Willis could end up in jail over this one.

I will now make a rare prediction. A week ago I wrote that, if Fani were smart, she would step back and not battle to stay on the case. She did not take my advice. And at this point, even if nothing else happens, given the oppressive stench of all her bad conduct, Fani Willis cannot possibly survive in control of the Trump case. No way. She will probably be removed as District Attorney altogether. I’d bet on it.

https://slaynews.com/news/another-link-between-biden-get-trump-da-fani-willis-emerges/

Another fresh link has now emerged between Democrat President Joe Biden and Georgia’s Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

It has now been discovered that a member of Biden’s reelection team is the business partner of Willis’s deputy.

This comes amid growing concerns about the motivations behind Willis’s case against President Donald Trump.

As Slay News reported, it has already been revealed that Willis’s get-Trump prosecution team has been holding secret taxpayer-funded meetings with Biden’s White House.

Breitbart News broke the story over the latest links after reviewing some financial disclosure forms.

“Chris Huttman, the business partner of Fulton County’s Deputy District Attorney Jeff DiSantis, works with President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign, financial disclosures reviewed by Breitbart News show,” the outlet reports.

Many are taking this as further confirmation that Biden and his handlers have played a role in Willis’s prosecution of Trump.

This stupid bitch just doesn't stop with said stupidity. Makes Kamala look like a genius in comparison.

Willis only added to the drama when she proposed an investigation into the special prosecutor's wife following a subpoena in Wade’s divorce proceedings, accusing Jocelyn Wade of using the legal process to “harass and embarrass” Willis and obstruct an ongoing criminal investigation.

Fulton County ethics board decides at last minute not to hear Fani Willis complaint

The Fulton County Board of Ethics reportedly declined to review two complaints against Fani Willis just before a meeting scheduled for their consideration Thursday.

The board chose not to review the complaints because it found it lacks jurisdiction to enforce the code of ethics against Willis, as she is a state constitutional officer, according to multiple reports. The meeting agenda initially listed two ethics complaints against Willis but was later amended to exclude them.

I wonder whether Fani Willis regrets yet her fateful decision to indict one of the most popular Presidents in American history under a thin, creative legal theory. True, she may have been encouraged — if not put up to it — by some covert and highly-illegal White House dirty tricks squad. But clearly, the luckless DA failed to comprehend the political nuclear weapon she detonated in her own back yard, right next to the broken refrigerator and that old truck up on cement blocks.

Yesterday I reported the curious timing of Judge MaCafee’s new election challenger. Well, apparently two can play at that game. Yesterday, Atlanta News First delivered more bad news for DA Willis in a story headlined, “Two candidates announce run against Fani Willis for Fulton County district attorney seat.”

As the headline reported, not one but two candidates for Fani’s job filed qualification papers this week. The first was Republican Courtney Kramer, a lawyer for one of the Trump defendants. In the linked clip, Courtney hinted that, if Judge MaCafee does disqualify Fani, no other district attorney at the Fulton County DA’s office is crazy enough to take on the Trump case. She also reported that bar complaints have now been filed against Fani and Nathan, which could be another devastating development for the embattled DA...

For any lawyer, even a groundless, spiteful, nonsensical bar complaint is a burden. Since the lawyer could conceivably wind up losing their license, all complaints must all be taken seriously, even if the complaint is no more than a handwritten rant. Dealing with nuisance bar complaints still takes up valuable time — nothing to be done about it — and heaps up unavoidable anxiety until the complaint is successfully resolved.

And that’s just for meritless complaints. A meritorious bar complaint is a thousand times more stressful, time consuming, and dangerous. Fani and Nathan’s bar complaints are probably in this second category. So.

But that’s not all. This week, another attorney filed to run against Fani, democrat Christian Wise Smith, who ran against her in 2020’s district attorney race. He seems like a nice enough fellow.

So you might say the original Fani Willis cancer — a cancer tentacling throughout Georgia’s political system — has reached stage four and is now metastasizing. Just look at where we are: a nail-biting countdown to Judge MaCafee’s decision, which will only be the beginning of that litigation, new witnesses and evidence popping up and leaking all over the place, an Ethics Commission just getting its legs under it, bar complaints, new candidates challenging the judge and the district attorney, and who knows what else going on behind the scenes in Georgia as the political players sharpen their long knives to a razors edge.

Another way to look at it is, the blood is in the water now, and a frantic school of starving sharks is swimming circles around Fani Willis’s sinking political life raft.

As I’ve said before, everyone involved in this thing — even Biden’s political dirty tricks squad — are off the map. Nobody has ever persecuted a former president (or a presidential candidate) this way before, so nobody knows how things could play out. They are playing with unstable political dynamite.

Judge threw out the phone call.

W/o the phone call, there is no case really.

Scuttlebutt now saying Willis will be DQ'd ~Friday.

https://slaynews.com/news/fani-willis-colluded-anti-trump-jan-6-committee-fabricate-narrative-destroy-evidence/

A bombshell new congressional report has been published that shows Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis secretly colluded with the Democrats’ “Jan. 6” Committee to fabricate a narrative against President Donald Trump and destroy exonerating evidence before Republicans could review it.

The “January 6 Initial Findings Report” was published by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) on Monday.

Loudermilk is the chairman of the Committee on House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight.

“For nearly two years, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s January 6th Select Committee promoted hearsay and cherry-picked information to promote its political goal – to legislatively prosecute former President Donald Trump,” Chairman Loudermilk said in a statement on Monday.

Over the weekend, commenters continued poking me about Judge McAfee’s connections to Fani Willis, implying they show some kind of secret bias that should change my mind about what’s really going on in the case. So I looked into the claims. The first claim is that McAfee and his wife each donated $150 ($300 total) to Fani Willis’ 2020 District Attorney campaign. The second claim is that McAfee once briefly worked for Fani Willis at the Fulton County DA’s office. Both claims are true.

For background, I relied on an article published last August in the New York Times under the headline, Judge on Trump Case Once Worked Under Fani Willis.

First, as to the donation. In 2020, Fulton County voters were forced to choose between two democrats running for District Attorney. Fani Willis ran against an ultra-liberal incumbent, democrat Paul Howard, and it was no secret that local conservatives supported Willis. Some of our own C&Cers from Atlanta even reported voting for her in the comments. Given that, plus the fact they briefly worked together (more on that in a minute), it’s unremarkable that McAfee made a relatively small donation to Fani’s campaign.

The rest of McAfee’s slim voting record appears to favor Republican candidates.

On the plus side, Judge McAfee’s resume offers plenty of encouraging conservative bona fides. McAfee, 35, graduated law school relatively recently in 2013. While attending the University of Georgia, he was vice president of the Federalist Society’s local chapter. The Federalist Society is a solidly conservative law group (I am also a member). McAfee also was the Law School Republicans’ treasurer.

McAfee’s career could be called meteoric, exactly what you’d hope to see from a skilled and intelligent jurist. Keep in mind, this part of his resume is all in his ten-years post-graduate. According to the Times, McAfee’s very first job out of law school was in the Fulton County DA’s office, where he was briefly assigned to Fani Willis’ felony team. But he was quickly promoted out of Willis’ office to the complex trial division. Then he was promoted again, to senior assistant district attorney, where he prosecuted murder cases in the major case division.

In 2019 — only six years out of law school — McAfee was appointed to assistant U.S. attorney for the entire Northern District of Georgia, and prosecuted federal cases like bank fraud and drug trafficking. In March 2021, Governor Kemp appointed McAfee to lead the state’s Office of the Inspector General, an internal watchdog agency investigating fraud, abuse and mismanagement in government. It’s likely he worked with the Governor in that politically-sensitive job.

He was Inspector General when was appointed last year to Fulton County judge, showing Governor Kemp must have liked the job McAfee did as IG. Kemp appointed him into an open judicial slot, making McAfee the youngest judge in Fulton County.

After all that, no, I do not think that Judge McAfee is secretly working for Fani Willis and playing 5-D chess instead of 4-D chess. His small $300 donation in an all-blue local election — to someone he knew — makes sense. True, McAfee’s very first job as a 24-year-old law school graduate was in Fani Willis’ office, but he shot right out of there to much more important, high-profile, and politically-sensitive positions.

The bottom line is: not only is Judge McAfee smart, experienced beyond his years, and well-connected, but from his resume he is not just conservative but also very politically savvy. It’s now even more clear why he was a great choice for Trump in this case, maybe the best possible choice among the Fulton County judges.

Remember, Trump could easily have drawn some all-in liberal judge instead. Sometimes, and I am not talking about anyone in particular, but sometimes some Republicans can be guilty of being impossible to satisfy and suspicious of everyone. I’m just saying.

Only conservative media reported this big news yesterday. Fox ran its Love Bunny story headlined, “Nathan Wade admitted to multiple White House meetings during Trump Georgia probe, transcript suggests.”

Remember Nathan Wade? He’s the Atlanta lawyer who ‘worked’ under Fulton County’s Trump-prosecuting State Attorney Fani Willis. He earned every dollar, too. Anyway, yesterday, the House Judiciary Committee questioned Nathan in a close-door session, so we only have the transcript of what happened (no video).

For one thing, Nathan admitted that when Fani hired him to lead the Trump RICO case, he’d never had a RICO case before. He had to take an online class to learn what it was all about. Because when prosecuting the previous President of the United States, they wanted a first-timer leading the case. Of course they did.

Next, Wade also admitted he met with White House lawyers at least twice, once for a full-day meeting, to discuss the Trump prosecution. Of course, we already knew that much, since Wade, who is no black Albert Einstein, billed Fulton County for those meetings which he clearly identified on his bills, and the invoices are now Georgia public records.

If the Judiciary Committee hoped to fill in some gaps by asking Nathan questions nicely, it must have been disappointed. From his answers on the transcript, Nathan decided to go with amnesia. He remembers nothing about any White House lawyers. He can’t recall who he met with. He doesn’t remember where the meeting was. He has no idea what they talked about.

Nathan admitted he can see the meetings listed on his invoices, right there, but that’s it. Apart from that, he’s drawing a blank. Coming up empty. Zip, zero, zilch, nada.

Before you jump to conclusions, I think it’s possible. It’s not like Nathan started off as some kind of mental giant or anything. And I mean, look what poor Nathan has been through. Just imagine the sordid acts of self-humiliation the man was forced to undertake to score a ‘G’ or two off Fani. He probably has PTSD, which can interfere with people’s memory.

Get ye back to the porch screaming and glitter nails, cursed Soros Fecal Impaction.
