Shut up and go sit down, whore. Get that pen out and start writing a
letter of resignation.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has defended her hiring of
private attorney Nathan Wade as lead prosecutor in the election fraud case against former President Donald Trump and 14 others, suggesting that those
who have questioned his ability are being unfair and possibly racist.

Willis made her remarks Sunday at the Big Bethel A.M.E. Church in Atlanta,
six days after one of Trump’s 14 remaining co-defendants accused her of
having an improper romantic relationship with Wade that was serious enough
to have them both thrown off the case.

Without mentioning him by name, Willis said Wade was not only a “great
friend” but an experienced and well-respected lawyer with the “impeccable” credentials needed to be a special prosecutor overseeing the sprawling racketeering case.

Willis talked about how she hired two other lawyers – a white man and a
white woman – to also help her prosecute Trump and his co-defendants on
charges of trying to illegally overturn the results of the 2020 election
in Georgia that Trump lost to Democrat Joe Biden.

Describing each one as a “superstar,” she asked, "Isn't it them playing
the race card when they only question one?”

"The Black man I chose has been a judge more than 10 years, run a private practice more than 20, represented businesses in civil litigation - I
ain’t done y’all,” Willis said. “Served as a prosecutor, a criminal
defense lawyer, special assistant attorney general.”

In her 35-minute speech, at times emotional, Willis admitted being an “imperfect” and even “flawed” human being who makes mistakes. She also
said she has been the victim of numerous threats and has received a lot of abuse lately that has included racial slurs.

But Willis did not address some of the more salacious accusations in the
motion filed last Monday by former Trump campaign official Michael Roman.

In that 127-page document, Roman accused Willis of acting improperly by
paying Wade more than $650,000 in taxpayer money in the case while having
been engaged in a romantic relationship with him.

Roman’s motion, filed by Atlanta lawyer Ashleigh Merchant, also accused
Wade of lacking the “relevant experience” needed to prosecute a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations, or RICO, case like the one against
him, Trump and others.

Roman also accused Wade of using some of that money to finance lavish
vacations with Willis, including trips to California wine country and
Florida and excursions on Caribbean cruises.
