Thirty Georgia State Senators have co-sponsored a bill that shouldn't have trouble getting passed to open an investigation into Fani Willis and her alleged misconduct. If everyone who co-sponsored the bill votes in favor, it will have enough votes to pass. So it's formation is effectively guaranteed as far as it could be before the final vote. Georgia legislators have said they predict the formation of the committee could begin within a week, which is before Fani is required to give the judge a written response to the allegation and a couple weeks before the scheduled hearing on the matter. The bill to create the special committee is available here: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/66194 My synopsis: Legislative committees generally have the power to subpoena witnesses and compel testimony. However, they generally have to focus on a legislative intent related to potentially revising laws or modifying state expenditures. The applicable laws for Georgia and the authority granted to legislative committees are referenced in the bill, but I haven't read them yet. The committee seeks to determine if there was a conflict of interest, fraud, whether disciplining the Fani is warranted, and/or changing the state funding to her office. It also seeks to enhance existing law to protect future defendants and taxpayers from similar corruption. My predictions: I'm sure Fani will argue that the committee is asking questions about an ongoing prosecution, and the separation of powers allows her to tell them to go scratch. However, the committee directives have nothing to do with the actual prosecution of the case; it is entirely about ethics and conduct issues. The goal is to resolve any corruption and to protect Georgians from similar corruption in the future. If the Committee asks why she determined to indict in a certain way or what the strategy of the prosecution is, Fani could have an argument to postpone responding to any subpoenas, depending on Georgia law. However, with the way this is phrased, it doesn't seem like she has any legal remedy to ignore it. I'm sure she'll be going through Georgia law and judicial precedent to try to get out of it, so we'll all learn a little more about Georgia's somewhat strange legal structure. Fani has been defying federal subpoenas, but the State seems to have more oversight rights. The highlights of the bill:

video here https://twitter.com/julie_kelly2/status/1750630295936593921 NEW: During a hearing today for Jeff Clark in Fani Willis’ RICO case, DA office admitted it received 2 letters from Biden White House counsel. Judge wants both letters filed under seal for an camera review in his chambers.
https://twitter.com/julie_kelly2/status/1750631347637354874 Also disclosed today: Biden DOJ did not give Jeff Rosen or Richard Donoghue permission to testify before special GA grand jury. Clark’s defense attorney wants to see that correspondence too. Judge seemed less inclined to permit that request. But raises a larger issue for both election “interference” trials. Will government—especially DOJ—allow former officials to testify (Barr, Rosen, Donoghue, etc) at trial and what will scope of their testimony be? Clark’s attorney suggested they will ask John Ratcliffe and Chris Krebs to testify… Clark wants White House correspondence as part of selective prosecution defense.
It's official: https://apnews.com/article/fani-willis-donald-trump-georgia-6097851a4dd52314ecfdf282418789c0 Georgia Senate passes a panel with subpoena power to investigate District Attorney Fani Willis Fani and Wade have been conspiring to engage in an illegal coverup of oversight by federal oversight of use of federal funds. Now Georgia's Senate is going to have subpoena power. It will be interesting to see if they engage in a criminal conspiracy to defy state subpoenas on top of actions of contempt.
Tangentially related: articles of impeachment have been filed against Fani. I have no idea what level of support this will have, but I doubt it will work. It does, however, add more fuel to the Fani fire. https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/66326 This is the crux of what she's being accused of. The bill has over 20 violations of her oath and the law outlined at the end, but this is the crux of the setup. There's definitely an element of a Trump supporter protecting Trump, but some of the legal and criminal allegations he has made against Fani are stronger than a lot of her indictments in this case. I'm sure this newly formed Committee will be using this as an initial index to begin their investigation which is likely why it was publicly drafted.
Why do you think CNN articles siting their sources as unverified unnamed anonymous sources are true... At least Julie Kelly does actual journalism and can LITERALLY back all of her articles... Her tweets contain something called "evidence and documentation" unlike CNN articles...
Not only do they tweet a brief summary, they have links in that tweet to their claim.... Some folks obviously don't follow up in the tweet links.
For reference, two of the crimes Fani was accused of in this bill (which has not passed). These are federal statues, clearly Biden's highly politicized DoJ under Garland's leadership, would not indict on these charges. However, if Trump wins in November it could be Fani and Wade in the hot seat. The punishment is the process and it would be stealing a play out of her playbook.
FreeBeacon has obtained audio of a whistleblower privately warning Fani Willis in 2021 that her top aide was trying to misuse federal funds. Willis did not dispute the allegations. 56 days later, Willis fired the whistleblower and perp walked her out of the office. Audio here.. https://twitter.com/AndrewKerrNC/status/1752674814605557954
interesting Less than a year into her tenure as Fulton County district attorney, in 2021, Willis met with Amanda Timpson, an employee in the district attorney's office responsible for giving nonviolent juvenile offenders "alternatives to the juvenile court system." During their conversation, a recording of which was reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, Timpson claimed to Willis that she had been demoted after attempting to stop a top Willis campaign aide from misusing federal grant money meant for a youth gang prevention initiative. https://freebeacon.com/democrats/fa...-who-blew-whistle-on-misuse-of-federal-funds/
She's a corrupt horndog, that's for sure. Business Partners Of Fani Willis’ Lover Bankrolled Her Campaign. She Gave Them Lucrative Contracts. She'd happily traded taxpayer cash for regular humping.

Dershowitz: Fani Willis Could Face Criminal Charges '“It does require disqualification, even on this record,” [Dershowitz] said, adding that Thursday’s evidentiary hearing will explore two facets: whether the hiring of Wade represented a personal benefit, which seems likely, and whether Willis or Wade perjured themselves when testifying under oath about their relationship.' '“He allegedly stated under oath that their relationship became sexual only after he began working for her. If that’s not true, and there’s apparently a witness out there who’s willing to testify under oath that’s not true, we may end up having a criminal trial, but not of Donald Trump,” he added. “We may end up having a criminal trial of this couple for their perjury.”' More likely she'll have to resign her position.
It would be quite funny if the only people who see the inside of her poorly run jail in this case were Fani and her lover. Doubtful it will happen, but it would be hilarious. Karma at its finest.
We've seen this before with folks drawn to their own destruction by their irrational hatred of Trump. Fani Willis Drama Must-See Moment Getting Busy With The Special Prosecutor She Hired To Persecute Trump In A Taxpayer Funded Sex Shack. She reminds us as she gets caught paying a Direct Report to hump her on the taxpayer's dime, that "we can't expect Black Women to be perfect." 'This Georgia persecution DA Fani Willis blew up last month, after it was revealed that she’s been' screwing 'her special prosecutor and maybe lying about it, under oath.' She's not supposed to be doing either of those things. She's not supposed to have taxpayers hire her lawyers to hump her, and she's not supposed to overpay them so that he can take her on sex vacations, and she's not supposed to lie to the court about, but as she reminds us, we can't expect Black Women to be perfect. 'This Fani Willis scandal includes every imaginable juicy tabloid angle – cheating, that married boyfriend on her public payroll for $654,000, his scorned wife, a disgruntled business partner of the gigolo who can contradict Fani’s sworn statements, fake invoices (boy-toy billed his sugar mama for 24 hours at $250 an hour on his fourth day on the job), whistleblowers in her office lining up to rat her out, plus at least three ongoing investigations of the DA by 1) Congress, 2) the state of Georgia and 3) Fulton County….' He 'worked' 24 hours in a single day? It looks like they were charging the GA taxpayers for the hours he was screwing Fani. 'You can see why state-run media is running in the other direction from this story. Another anti-Trump bombshell blows up in their hands.' The GA voters want Trump re-elected, and the margin is well above the "cheat margin".
Could Matching Ass Tattoos Determine Fani's Fate? https://archive.ph/QVt5R Could the Tale Be Told In Ink On The Tail? 'The judge wants to hear evidence on what he calls Ms. Merchant’s “core allegations.” Those include the accusation that the funds Ms. Willis paid Mr. Wade — totaling more than $700,000 — paid for shared vacations. One of those locales, according to Ms. Merchant, was Belize, in March. She writes that Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade “spent $74.15 at a tattoo parlor,” among other expenses. '
“This has to do with following state funds,” said Republican Sen Matt Brass of Newnan. “We want to know where is our money going.” This has to do with protecting Dear Leader.
Dear leader or no Dear Leader , she still did what she did right? Ya'll set the WITCH HUNT president and now YA'LL have to sleep in that bed that YA'LL made Sucks don't it? Ahh, the dangers of setting bad precedents. I warned everyone! nobody listened. Don't forget to put on the witcher armor, hunting season has BEGUN!
Looks like Wade was opening Fani two years earlier than they both have admitted, under penalty of perjury.
