'The Train Is Coming': Fani Willis Undeterred By Setbacks In Georgia Trump Case

Source: Huff Post

Mar 23, 2024, 06:00 PM EDT


Embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is showing no signs of backing down from her election interference case against former President Donald Trump — even after one investigator, Willis’ former romantic partner, was taken off the case.

Speaking with CNN on Saturday, Willis said that while news outlets were focused on the public hearings in which details of her relationship were aired, her team was continuing to work on the substance of the case. “All while that was going on, we were writing responses and briefs. I don’t think that we’ve been slowed down at all,” Willis said from an Easter egg hunt event. “I do think there are efforts to slow down this train, but the train is coming,” she added.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee gave Willis an ultimatum in a March 15 ruling: either Willis or attorney Nathan Wade had to remove themselves from the case. Wade was the special prosecutor Willis admitted to dating after hiring him to help pursue the sprawling list of charges.

Trump and more than a dozen other defendants are accused of playing various roles in efforts to subvert the 2020 presidential election in the case. CNN reported earlier this week that Willis intends to put Trump on trial before the Nov. 5 presidential election, potentially as soon as this summer.

That useless traitor is probably as gobsmacked as he is enraged that this brown woman didn't wither into a trembling mass of tears and run away in terror at what he threw at her--and worse, that she's so 'uppity' as to sass him back, even now.

Also, kudos to her for putting him on notice that she's kept The Flying Heinz Special rolling, and it's heading for him, no matter what crap he tries to pull with her.

Sounds like she and her team have been on track the whole time. But to quote another song: "The waiting is the hardest part"
