Disgraced Fulton County Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis, who was disqualified for multiple conflicts of interest from her case prosecuting President-elect Trump over election interference, was hit with another setback as a Georgia judge ruled that her office must pay conservative watchdog Judicial Watch more than $20,000 in fees related to their open records request.

She’s got two weeks to pony up.

Judicial Watch and its founder Tom Fitton took to X/Twitter Tuesday to announce the news:

BREAKING: The Superior Court in Fulton County, GA, issued an order granting $21,578 “attorney’s fees and costs” in the open records lawsuit for communications Willis had with Special Counsel Jack Smith and the House January 6 Committee (1/3). https://t.co/qcVL9VTlfT

They added two more tweets. “'Fani Willis flouted the law, and the court is right to slam her and require, at a minimum, the payment of nearly $22,000 to Judicial Watch,' said Judicial Watch President @TomFitton,” said one. The next: “But in the end, Judicial Watch wants the full truth on what she was hiding – her office’s political collusion with the Pelosi January 6 committee to ‘get Trump,'” @TomFitton."

Judicial Watch explained the case in more detail on their website: 

Judicial Watch announced today that the Superior Court in Fulton County, GA, issued an order granting $21,578 “attorney’s fees and costs” in the open records lawsuit for communications Willis had with Special Counsel Jack Smith and the House January 6 Committee. The order followed a previous order finding that Willis was in default in the lawsuit. 

Judicial Watch filed this lawsuit in March 2024 filed after Willis falsely denied having any records responsive to Judicial Watch’s earlier Georgia Open Records Act (ORA) request for communications with Special Counsel Jack Smiths office and/or the January 6 Committee (Judicial Watch Inc. v. Fani Willis et al. (No. 24-CV-002805)).

Willis is also infamous for having an improper relationship with a man she hired as a prosecuting attorney in the case, Nathan Wade.

Like so much of the lawfare aimed at Trump since he left office in 2021, this case had the smell of corruption and banana republic-style justice from day one. Willis came across as a grifter trying to make a name for herself. She certainly succeeded in making that name, but probably not for the reasons she hoped.

Technically, the case isn’t dead dead; some genius could try to reanimate it in 2029 when Trump is out of office, but that seems like a highly unlikely scenario (although you never know with these crazed progressive prosecutors). Like so many of the efforts to “get Trump”—Special Counsel Jack Smith’s classified docs case against the former and future president, for example, or Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s crusade against Trump over alleged business fraud—they failed in their goal, which was to put Trump behind bars no matter the cost and prevent him from winning the election.

How'd that work out?

My guess is history will not look back kindly on this era, and Bragg, Willis, Attorney General Merrick Garland, Jack Smith and others will be regarded as prime examples of how you corrupt a country. 

I hope that crow tastes good, Fani.
