Constitutional Attorney Lists Five Ways Georgia DA Fani Willis Committed Misconduct Prosecuting Trump and His Associates

Fani Willis

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is currently under fire for appointing her former lover, Nathan Wade, as chief prosecutor in the RICO prosecution of Donald Trump and his associates, and a nationally recognized constitutional expert said that is not the only major misconduct. The expert, who preferred not to be identified, said there are five other instances of improper behavior by Willis.

The first instance was so egregious that it may have undermined the entire grounds for the prosecution, the expert said. The prosecution arose from a phone call between Trump, his associates, and Georgia officials discussing what to do about illegal activity in Georgia during the 2020 election. The call was recorded by a deputy secretary of state under Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who was in Florida at the time. Unlike Georgia, where only one party on a phone call needs to know it is being recorded, Florida has a multi-party consent law for recording phone conversations, which means all parties on the call must know about the recording and agree to it. None of the exceptions applied, such as law enforcement or where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy.

Willis used that phone call to convene a grand jury and obtain the 19 indictments of Trump and his associates. The expert said it was the sole evidence she used to obtain the indictment. Since it was tainted, known in law as the “fruit of the poisonous tree,” usually an entire indictment is required to be thrown out.

Second, the expert said “Willis hired a Democratic operative who used his expertise to screen the jury pool.” Willis hired Jeff DiSantis as Fulton County’s deputy district attorney, even though his background wasn’t in prosecution. DiSantis previously served as the former executive director of the Democratic Party of Georgia, deputy director of Compliance for the Democratic National Committee, and technology director doing data analysis for 20/20 Insight.

A source told MSN, “He was in every important meeting. He is the brainchild behind this. That is the connection to the White House.” The source said he or she believes DiSantis was planted by the Biden administration in the office. Due to his intricate knowledge of Georgia’s voter data, which DiSantis obtained from his past role with the state’s Democratic Party, the source said DiSantis was crucial in selecting grand jurors for the Trump case, ensuring that no one was conservative.

Third, the expert cited information Newt Gingrich heard, revealing that Willis allegedly attempted to sloppily speed up the indictments to draw attention away from mistakes with the special prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden. She briefly posted the indictments online before the grand jury had even convened.

According to Gingrich, a “reliable source” said someone from Washington, D.C., called Willis and asked her to complete the indictments on August 14, 2023. Willis allegedly responded and said the jurors would reconvene the following day. The source pressured her, forcing her to convene them later in the day over Zoom.

Yes, Every Kid

The premature indictments were removed shortly afterward as a clerk excused them as a mistake. The actual indictments were issued later that day. Trump said in an email about the incident, “The Grand Jury testimony has not even FINISHED – but it’s clear the District Attorney has already decided how this case will end.”

Fourth, the expert cited Willis’s fundraising off of her “get Trump” effort. He pointed out how a Georgia court already disqualified her from investigating one of the defendants because she held a fundraiser for the candidate’s opponent. “What we have now is not quite as blatant, but still within the realm of improper conduct,” he said.

Finally, the expert said Willis hiring Wade as the chief prosecutor constituted misconduct. She paid him a higher rate than the leading expert on RICO, he said, and even if they weren’t married or unable to prove she was giving him kickbacks this way, it was still unethical misconduct.

Additionally, the expert pointed out that some states treat paying prosecutors per hour, like Wade was, as a conflict of interest because the money creates an incentive to drag things out. Some states prohibit it. While Georgia doesn’t ban the practice, Georgia courts have not yet ruled on it.

The judge presiding over the case said he should be issuing his decision on whether to disqualify Willis within a week.
