How is Fulton County not embarrassed by Fani Willis after she said THIS?!
The future of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is being determined after she was accused of misconduct during the Georgia election interference case against former president Donald Trump, and it does not look bright.
Willis apparently has hoards of cash at her house, which she had been using to reimburse the man she was having an affair with — special prosecutor Nathan Wade.
“I always have cash at the house,” Willis told the court. “If you’re a woman, and you go on a date with a man, you better have $200 in your pocket so if that man acts up, you can go where you want to go. So I keep cash in my house.”
When questioned as to where all the cash was coming from, she didn’t have an answer.
“It came from my sweat and tears,” Willis told the prosecutor.
Sara Gonzales is shocked.
“How is Fulton County not so embarrassed right now?” Gonzales laughs.
Willis then went on to further the embarrassment by insinuating that Nathan Wade had erectile dysfunction or something of the sort, telling the court that they had “very limited contact” in 2020.
“Mr. Wade had a form of cancer that makes your allegation somewhat ridiculous,” Willis said. “I’m not going to emasculate a black man.”
“I’m pretty sure you just emasculated a black man, ‘cause you said all that needed to be said,” Gonzales comments.

Former pope contender becomes first-ever cardinal prosecuted in Vatican's criminal tribunal, court seeks $181 million
A former pope contender has become the first-ever cardinal to be prosecuted in Vatican's criminal court.
Cardinal Angelo Becciu was convicted of embezzling millions from the Vatican.
Judge Giuseppe Pignatone read the verdict on Saturday in a Vatican courtroom, which sentenced Cardinal Angelo Becciu to 5 ½ years in prison.
Prosecutor Alessandro Diddi boasted that the guilty verdict "showed we were correct."
Becciu's lawyer, Fabio Viglione, said he would appeal the sentence.
The BBC noted, "Becciu, 75, was the most senior Vatican official ever to face such charges and once seen as a papal contender himself."
In September 2020, Becciu, resigned from the Vatican's secretariat of state after being implicated in a financial scandal. Pope Francis accepted Becciu's resignation.
Becciu reportedly oversaw a multimillion-euro investment in a $380 million luxury property in London.
NBC News reported, "In the end, he was convicted of embezzlement stemming from the original investment of 200 million euros in a fund that bought into the London property, as well as for his 125,000 euro donation of Vatican money to a charity run by his brother in Sardinia. He was also convicted of using Vatican money to pay an intelligence analyst who in turn was convicted of using the money for herself."
Becciu allegedly paid 575,000 euros, about $627,000, to Cecilia Marogna for intelligence services. However, Marogna used that Vatican money to buy luxury goods and go on vacations, according to prosecutors.
The disgraced cardinal claimed that he thought the money was being used to pay a British security firm to negotiate the release of Gloria Narvaez – a Colombian nun taken hostage by Islamic militants in Mali in 2017.
Becciu said Pope Francis authorized up to 1 million euros to liberate the nun.
At the Vatican tribunal, Marogna was sentenced to three years and nine months in prison for her role.
Prosecutors also sought damages of over 400 million euros from Marogna and Becciu to try to recover the estimated 200 million euros they claim the Holy See lost in the bad deals.
The Vatican court ordered the confiscation of 166 million euros, roughly $181 million, from the pair and the payment of civil damages to Vatican offices of 200 million euros, or about $218 million.
Becciu's former secretary, Monsignor Mauro Carlino, was completely acquitted.

Lawsuit alleges African Methodist Episcopal Church, church executive stole millions from clergy retirement funds
A scandal has recently rocked the African Methodist Episcopal Church, alleging that one of the church's financial executives spent much of his career embezzling funds from an annuity earmarked for retired church employees, including clergy.
In late March, several retired AME clerics filed six separate class-action lawsuits against the AME church and against Rev. Dr. Jerome Harris, as well as several third-party entities that they claim either ignored or actively participated in the misappropriation of funds.
Harris, the executive director of the Department of Retirement Services for the church, was originally elected to the position in 2000 and was subsequently re-elected every four years until September 2021, when he decided to retire. At that point, James Miller took over and soon afterward suspended all annuity payments after he noticed egregious differences between the amount of money reported to be in the retirement annuity and the amount that was actually there.
While Harris stated in his final report to the church last year that the annuity had grown to $128 million from the approximately $50 million it had as of late 2001, the church said that a forensic audit and other investigations put the value closer to $37 million.
"There is no evidence that the total value of the retirement fund reported by Rev. Harris was ever the actual value of the funds," the church said in a statement.
Harris and financial broker Robert Eaton have been accused of creating LLCs through which they could divert money back to themselves by loans that were never repaid. Harris may also have spent $2.5 million on land in Florida valued at half that amount. And there are other allegations that he simply pocketed some of the money.
The six lawsuits, originating in five different states, plus a federal investigation into what may be a discrepancy of $90 million, have made this case quite complicated. To streamline some of the complexity of pretrial discovery, the various plaintiffs temporarily consolidated their efforts in May and filed one joint lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western Distsrict of Tennessee in Nashville, where the church is based. The lawsuits may still be adjudicated separately, though.
The church has adamantly denied any involvement in the alleged scheme and filed its own cross-complaint against Harris and others.
"Dr. Jerome Harris and ten other individuals and entities" orchestrated "a sophisticated scheme to embezzle funds and defraud the AMEC’s Ministerial Retirement Annuity Plan," a church statement says.
Despite the fact that the church says it is not responsible for the missing funds, it has vowed to restore "the full initial investment plus interest to each retirement plan participant." The church currently has approximately 5,000 retired clergy and other employees.
