Does being Democrat mean you don’t have to obey laws?

If you must swear you have paid all debts to the state before taking office as District Attorney, then don’t treat this matter lightly.

The Georgia Record details how Fani Willis had to swear that all of her debts to Georgia had been paid before taking office as District Attorney (an oath she took lightly, since she still owed $250 to the state).

In communications released today, Georgia State Representative Charlice Byrd announced that she had become aware of certain funds in Fani Willis’ hands that made her ineligible to take office following her election in 2020.

Georgia’s Constitution and Georgia state that “no person who is holder of any public funds is eligible to hold any office of honor or trust in the state.”

Rep. Byrd sent letters to both Gov. Kemp and Secretary of Atty. Gen Chris Carr advising them of her findings and insisting Kemp remove her from office and that Carr undertake an investigation and potential prosecution of the matter. (Copies below.)

Perhaps even more troubling, Willis’ swore an Oath stating that she was not the holder of any monies owed the State of Georgia. Ms. Byrd has discovered that Willis has has outstanding fees/fines accruing since 2018 and yet went ahead and ran for office and upon winning the election, sworn an Oath despite the fact that she was in fact holding monies due the state.

Sources point out that Willis conduct may have violated several Georgia laws and say swearing a false Oath can have serious consequences. Should it be found that a person is guilty of “false swearing” O.C.G.A. § 16-10-71 states: “A person convicted of the offense of false swearing shall be punished by a fine of not more than $1,000.00 or by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than five years, or both.”

In other cases, having justice served precludes the person serving that justice.

If this truly is a case where justice is being served through the indictment of President Trump, then it will not matter who prosecutes the case against him. In that event, Fani Willis should step aside and allow someone else to prosecute the case.

However, if this is merely a vendetta against President Trump and a travesty of our political and judicial systems, then it should be stopped.

It has come to light that corrupt Fulton DA Fani Willis unlawfully took office. Given this revelation, I have delivered letters to the Governor and Attorney General demanding they do their constitutional duty, hold her accountable, and remove her from office. pic.twitter.com/R98pJwqLuP

Allegations arise saying Fani Willis has received contributions from a multi-state illegal money-laundering RICO operation

CBS affiliate WANF reports on allegations that Fani Willis has raised funds from a multi-state, illegal money-laundring operation.

On Thursday, Trump’s attorneys filed a motion in Fulton County Superior Court, arguing Willis should be disqualified from her investigation because she allegedly is using the case to raise re-election funds.

“She has personally inserted herself into Twitter campaigns requesting donations and followers while referencing her prosecution of this case,” the filing said. “What’s more, she retweeted a political cartoon depicting Petitioner in a negative light.

“For a District Attorney to personally request donations and followers based on the prosecution or investigation of one named individual, especially when it heightens public condemnation of the accused, is clear evidence of conflict,” the filing said. “The District Attorney’s desire to fund her reelection incentivizes her to pursue Petitioner more aggressively than she otherwise might.”

Although I will not go down the “she’s accused; therefore, she must be guilty” rabbithole, I do know Fani has raised funds off of the Trump indictment.

In one instance, Newsweek tried to walk the rail by reporting on how both President Trump and Fani Willis tried to cash in on the Fani Willis indictment of President Trump.

With all eyes on Fulton County, Georgia, after District Attorney Fani Willis‘ indictment of former president Donald Trump for his alleged attempts to overturn his loss there during the 2020 election, the high-profile nature of the case could prove a boon for both politicians’ re-election campaigns ahead of what is anticipated to be a public spectacle of a trial.

And both are already looking to cash in.

On Monday, the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office released the full text of its 98-page indictment against Trump and 18 others following a sweeping investigation into his team’s alleged attempts to coerce Georgia state elections officials into “finding” him enough votes to win the closely-contested state in the aftermath of the 2020 elections.

Four days before, however, Willis—who is not up for re-election until 2024—announced the launch of a new website for her re-election bid, with a donation link suggesting contributions in amounts of $50 to $500 to support her.

“Friend, we wanted you to know first that our new website is up and ready for you to share with your friends and family,” an email to supporters read on the day of its launch. “Sign up to volunteer, host an event, and continue to support the team! Thank you for your continued support to build a brighter future for Fulton County. With gratitude, Team Fani.”

Judge criticizes Atlanta DA who hosted fundraiser for opponent of Trump grand jury target

In a second instance, CNN opens up on an event where Fani Willis took the chance to fundraise for a Democratic candidate running against one of the investigation’s potential targets.

An Atlanta judge says he will ensure a report from the special grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia won’t be an “October surprise.”

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney, in a hearing Thursday, also criticized District Attorney Fani Willis for hosting a fundraiser for a Democratic candidate running against one of the investigation’s potential targets.

“It’s a ‘What are you thinking?’ moment,” McBurney said. “The optics are horrific.”

Both statements could impact the future of the investigation into Trump and the 16 fake GOP electors who signed onto a plan to subvert the Electoral College in the presidential election.

All 16 have been notified they are now targets of the criminal investigation, and subpoenas have also been issued recently to members of Trump’s legal team overseeing the efforts in Georgia and other battleground states Trump lost. McBurney declined to quash subpoenas for 11 of the fake electors.

Thursday’s hearing turned on the efforts of one of the 16 – Georgia state Sen. Burt Jones – to disqualify Willis from any prosecution related to Jones due to Willis’ alleged conflict of interest and political bias.

Jones, a Republican, is currently running for lieutenant governor in Georgia against Democrat Charlie Bailey. Willis hosted a campaign fundraiser for Bailey last month and donated to his primary campaign earlier this year.

If Willis is not disqualified, Jones asked that any report from the special grand jury be sealed until after the November 8 election.

McBurney said it’d be very unlikely the report would come before then, promising that it would not be an “October surprise,” and that he would make sure it will not be released close to November’s election so that it’s not a conflict.

If Governor Kemp does not take action against District Attorney Willis, this will stand as proof of the pro-Democrat swamp in Georgia.

Don’t talk to me about the good conservatives in Georgia if action cannot be taken to right this wrong.

Additionally, when you add the multi-state illegal money-laundering RICO operation to the mix as a charge against Fani Willis (if proven true — and that is a BIG if), then this takes on yet another dimension of Democrat/swamp corruption.
