Marjorie Taylor Greene Hits Fani Willis With Criminal Referral

Marjorie Taylor Greene has sent a criminal referral to the state government of Georgia, alleging that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has engaged in an "illegal" relationship with one of her prosecutors. Even if the affair allegations are true, it still has no bearing on the actual case or the indictments (which came from a grand jury, not the prosecutors.) But Greene is determined to protect Trump by any means necessary, and she doesn't care whose reputation she has to destroy to do it. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Well, folks, we've got more drama unfolding in the state of Georgia with attorney, uh, uh, district Attorney Fannie Willis, who of course will be prosecuting Donald Trump most likely at the end of this year. What's happened this week is that Donald Trump in a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, uh, building off of what one of his co-defendants said in a court filing accused Fannie Willis of having an inappropriate affair with one of her fellow prosecutors who was also working on the case. Well, after Donald Trump did this, Marjorie Taylor Greene in her ongoing quest to save Donald Trump from accountability filed a criminal complaint. She actually issued a criminal referral for Fannie Willis to Brian Kemp, the Republican governor of the State of Georgia, along with, of course, the Secretary of State. And in her letter saying that Fannie Willis is apparently a criminal. Marjorie Taylor Greene said this, Fannie Willis faces serious allegations that she illegally hired her secret boyfriend, Nathan Wade, who has never tried a felony case as her special prosecutor to bring an unprecedented, complex and partisan felony Rico prosecution against President Trump, the leading presidential contender for 2024, along with 18 co-defendants.

Despite this obviously illegal conflict of interest, Fannie Willis has allegedly paid Nathan Wade nearly 700,000 in official funds. This includes a multiple, a multitude of vague block billings for eight hours, and as a lawyer publicized even one billing for 24 hours on a single day with the vague description, prepared cases for pretrial, she goes on to suggest that Willis may have committed foul play for receiving illegal kickbacks, including lavish, domestic and international trips paid for with misappropriated government funds. It's alleged that Fannie Willis and this other prosecutor, uh, took trips to Napa Valley and they took a trip down to the Caribbean. And as Marjorie Taylor Greene says in her letter, they, they may have done this with misappropriated government funds, which by the way, is actually a pretty easy thing for the government of Georgia to look at and see if it actually did happen.

Right? Did you get charged for a plane trip to Napa Valley? Did you get charged for a plane trip to the Caribbean? I mean, y'all, y'all ought to be able to go through and see those receipts right there. Were there big purchases from Fannie Willis' office for plane tickets? I mean, if there were, then maybe there's something to this. If there's not, then this is just a, another attempt by Donald Trump and his deranged allies like Marjorie Taylor Greene to try to delay this trial and to slander Fanny Willis. Now, here's the thing. As I pointed out earlier in this week, if Fanny Willis was in fact having a sexual relationship of any kind with this fellow prosecutor, okay, so like that, that literally changes none of the facts of the case. It doesn't change the fact that it was the grand jury

That voted to bring these charges. They voted on the charges, they voted to bring the charges, like that's not Fannie Willis and her maybe, maybe not boyfriend doing that. So her having a relationship with another prosecutor working on this case, even somebody that she hired, it's not illegal. It, it, it may be unethical, but it doesn't change any of the facts of this case. It doesn't change what the grand jury saw. It doesn't change any of the evidence. Should have no bearing on this case whatsoever. Now, if, if she did do it again, it's definitely gonna look bad. That is not gonna help her at all. But it doesn't change the facts of the case. Now, if she did use government funds to go on trips suddenly, then you're looking at a very real problem. Absolutely not gonna deny that, like she should be removed if she did that.
