Looks like embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ political career will live to see another day, as she won her primary election Tuesday and will face off against a GOP challenger in November.
But guess who showed up to her election night victory party? None other than the married attorney and father of two, Nathan Wade, who looked like he hadn’t a care in the world despite the fact that Judge Scott McAfee kicked him off the Trump case due to his previously undisclosed liaison with Willis. (Speaking of Judge McAfee, he also won his primary Tuesday, proving that perhaps there’s something really wrong with the water supply in Georgia.)

Her celebration speech indicated that her team planned to booze the night away:
"So, ladies and gentlemen, tonight, every now and then you get to stop and smell the roses," Willis said. "And tonight, we going to stop and smell these roses."
"We are going to celebrate," she said. "We're going to party the day drinking Grey Goose in case anybody wonder."
Willis has been in the news of late for all the wrong reasons: she thought she’d get famous by pursuing Donald Trump in an election interference prosecution, but instead, the microscope was turned on her when it was discovered she’d been having relations with Wade, who she’d hired to help with the case and paid him exorbitant sums for his work. Then the House, the Senate, and state officials started looking into her official spending patterns as red flags popped up everywhere.
Throughout it all, she has remained defiant and keeps expressing her outrage that anyone would dare to investigate her behavior—don't they know who she is?!
Fani's Follies:
Willis' jurisdiction is deep in Joe Biden country, which tells you pretty much all you need to know:
Willis, the District Attorney for Fulton County, is leading the sweeping 2020 election interference case against former President Donald Trump and has been the subject of scrutiny many Republicans in the state and nationwide for her affair with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, which almost got her removed from the case.
Willis on Tuesday defeated Democrat attorney Christian Wise Smith in a rematch of their race four years ago. In the county that in 2020 voted 73% for President Joe Biden, she was favored to win.
WiIlis is currently under investigation by Republicans in both chambers of the U.S. congress and two commissions in the Georgia state legislature.
On Monday, Willis appeared on MSNBC and called one of the people investigating her actions, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), a “clown.”
Who's the clown?
Fani Willis Calls Jim Jordan a 'Clown,' Says All Allegations Against Her Are 'Illegitimate'
“I bring that up at the federal level because now at the state level, they’ve decided to follow this clown’s [Jordan’s] lead, and they want to now try to interfere in an investigation,” she said. “And it’s not legitimate either.”
Meanwhile Willis’ prosecution against Trump has stalled as the former president’s team has filed an appeal hoping to get the combative DA tossed from the case. Although the appeals court agreed to hear their bid, a hearing date has yet to be scheduled.
In New York, Alvin Bragg’s ridiculous business accounting case is imploding after Michael Cohen admitted to stealing from the Trump Organization. Special Counsel Jack Smith’s federal classified documents case is indefinitely on hold as the various parties work out pre-trial matters—namely that Smith’s team mishandled classified documents, the very crime for which they’re trying to imprison the former president. Irony, much?
Is there any doubt left that this progressive, Biden-led lawfare blitzkrieg against Trump is one of the most illegitimate banana republic episodes we’ve ever seen in the United States of America? If there’s any justice, all of these politically motivated show trials will go down in flames, because I have yet to see a single one that actually has merit.
Hope Fani Willis had fun partying with her (former?) paramour as her case grows cobwebs.
