Fulton Country District Attorney Fani Willis this week responded to House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan's February subpoena.
snip//
Further, as I expressed to you in my letter dated February 23, 2024, this office is in the process of producing relevant documents to you on a rolling basis and is undertaking a good faith effort to provide you with responsive information about our federal grant funding. As part of that ongoing process, we are again today making a document production.
Your primary complaint appears to be that we did not complete the production of your extensive document demands (including five categories of documents over a four-year period) in less than two months. That demand is unreasonable and uncustomary and would require this government office to divert resources from our primary purpose of prosecuting crime.
Let me be clear, while we are abiding by your subpoena in good faith and with due diligence, we will not divert resources that undermine our duty to the people of Fulton County to prosecute felonies committed in this jurisdiction. We will not shut down this office's efforts to prosecute crime - including gang activity, acts of violence and public corruption - to meet unreasonable deadlines in your politically motivated 'investigation' of this office.
Willis concludes, "My family, my staff and I have been threatened repeatedly by people making violent, often racist, attacks. Neither those threats, nor anything your colleagues and you say or do, will deter us from fulfilling our duty to bring this case to trial."

(6,831 posts)Fani's not playing politics or just doing her job. She is on a righteous cause that is very important to her, her place in history, her heritage. It should be for us as well. She's out to expose criminals and their corruption in high places. The petty attempts to shake her from the case do not weaken her resolution. Quite the contrary, they seem to have inured her to the many crimes the other side will commit in its effort to bring her low, to protect their own. If/when she comes down it will be with fire on their heads and it will hurt those who would do her harm much more than it would diminish her will to proceed. She has that special look of a determined woman on a sublime mission, no left or right, only straight ahead. A moment of legend in the making, folks.
And I remind myself that Willis knows far more about the case than we do. We seem to be living in a time of "legend in the making" people. Such opportunities may not come their way again.

And I will do so again when it's my turn to face the music for sedition, subversion and perversion (Which are "free speech" in my maga mind.)
