More Trouble for Fani Willis With Georgia AG's Statement on Trump Case

Things haven't been going well for Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis lately.

Earlier this month, Willis was finally disqualified from the election interference case against President Donald Trump, with the court citing a "significant appearance of impropriety.' All her assistants were disqualified as well. While the case wasn't dismissed, that decision leaves it essentially dead, at least for now. Even CNN threw a fit over how it was dead in the water. That was a pretty big indictment of the case.

Then, on top of that, as we reported, the Georgia legislature has been investigating Willis' actions to determine if she engaged in misconduct. A Peach State court just kneecapped her defense and said she could be subpoenaed by the legislature on the matter, although the court said she could contest the scope of any subpoenas. So she isn't going to be able to wiggle out of being grilled by them.

Now, she's filed a notice of intent to ask the Georgia Supreme Court to review the Court of Appeals ruling disqualifying her.

But Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr just leveled her and the lawfare, as our sister site Townhall reported.

Carr said:

"The Georgia Court of Appeals has ruled that the Fulton County DA created her own conflict and rightfully removed her from the case against President-elect Trump," Carr wrote. "‘Lawfare’ has become far too common in American politics, and it must end.
"As such, I would encourage the Georgia Supreme Court to not take her appeal," Carr continued. "It’s our hope that the DA will now focus taxpayer resources on the successful prosecution of violent criminals in Fulton County."

Carr said in November he plans to run for governor. Other Republicans also weighed in. Gov. Brian Kemp (who is now term-limited) agreed. Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, who some speculate might also run, said that he had been calling out Willis for orchestrating a "political charade." He said Carr had so far "failed" on the issue but that the "Georgia Senate won't."

"We look forward to holding her accountable at a future hearing," he said.

Willis accused Carr of being focused on politics,

"If Mr. Carr cannot separate his ambition to become Governor from his duties as Attorney General, he should resign and focus on being a full-time candidate rather than serving as a constitutional officer sworn to uphold the Constitutions and laws of the United States and Georgia," wrote Willis, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Greg Bluestein.

That's incredibly ironic, given that she's the one accused of impropriety.

Trump's defense attorney, Steve Sadow, skewered her gall. He said she attempted to "conceal her intimate relationship" with her "prosecutor-lover" until it was "exposed," painted the accused as racists after she was revealed and the trial judge found an "odor of mendacity." ' "But she wants AG Carr to resign for telling the truth. SIMPLY DUMBFOUNDING!" Sadow said.

Looks like Fani is going to be very busy responding -- and she's not going to like it.
