Emails have leaked showing a tense exchange between Fani Wilis and Donald Trump's defense. Trump is facing RICO charges brought by Willis in Georgia, a move that has left some legal scholars scratching their heads. 

The back and forth began after Steven Sadow, who is Trump's lead lawyer on the case, sent an email saying that he doesn't understand why the prosecutorial team won't respond to his requests. One of Willis' underlings then shot back by playing the race card.

The recent tense exchange unfolded in a group email thread that includes prosecutors and defense lawyers in the case. It began when the lead lawyer for Mr. Trump in Georgia, Steven H. Sadow, expressed annoyance with prosecutors for ignoring a request he had made. On Jan. 5, he wrote to prosecutors: “For the life of me, I cannot understand why you refuse to respond to the series of emails below.”

Five days later, Daysha Young, an executive district attorney who, like Ms. Willis, is Black, wrote that she and Ms. Willis “are both aware, especially as an African American woman some find it difficult to treat us respectfully.”

What does skin color have to do with the fact that Willis and her team are ignoring emails being sent by the defense? Where in Sadow's message is there even the slightest hint that he's concerned with what color their skin is? Rather, he seems justified in wondering why they aren't professional enough to respond to requests in a timely fashion. 

Willis then jumped into the fray, shooting off an email that also played the race card. 

“In the legal community (and the world at large) some people will never be able to respect African Americans and/or women as their equal and counterpart,” she wrote in a note addressed to Mr. Sadow but sent to all of the defense lawyers, most of whom are white men. “That is a burden you do not experience. Further, some are so used to doing it they are not even aware they are doing it while others are intentional in their continued disrespect.”

Willis wears her race like a shield. She truly believes that simply being black protects her from all criticism and allows her to skirt basic legal boundaries. Remember, this is a person who had an affair and then paid her lover to be a special counsel in her office, a massive breach of ethical standards. When people pointed that out, Willis' response was, shock of shocks, to cry racism in that case as well.

She's also got a Napoleon complex. 

Ms. Willis also made a case for her own fortitude. “Now you know, I cannot be bullied,” she wrote. “So I do not even think anyone on this team thought someone was silly enough to try that as a tactic. As you are aware, I have now experienced some of the most powerful people in the country call me everything, but a child of God. But, yet here I and my team stand still pursuing justice.”

Once again, we see Willis mocking God by pretending her transgressions don't exist. She recently did that while speaking to a church, claiming that all the criticisms of her affair were due to racism. Not once has she taken responsibility for her actions.

While Willis is huffing and puffing, though, the judge in the case has set a February 15th hearing to discuss her improprieties. I suspect playing the race card against him won't work out too well. 

The judge presiding over Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis's racketeering and election interference case against former President Donald Trump and others has set a Feb. 15 hearing date on misconduct allegations against the district attorney.

In a court filing this month, Michael Roman, a co-defendant in the Trump case, alleged Willis was in a "romantic relationship" with special prosecutor Nathan Wade. 

Roman contends the pair and the DA's office should be disqualified from prosecuting the case and the criminal charges dismissed “on the grounds that the district attorney and the special prosecutor have been engaged in an improper, clandestine personal relationship during the pendency of this case, which has resulted in the special prosecutor, and, in turn, the district attorney, profiting significantly from this prosecution at the expense of the taxpayers.”

Whatever the merits of the case itself, and it severely lacks any, Willis needs to be removed from the picture. It is outrageous that she slept with someone and then paid them to be a special counsel. A prosecutor who will do that can't be trusted to apply the law fairly. It's time for the judge to drop the hammer on her.
