They're coming for you Fani. You've made some stupid decisions over the past few years that are going to come back and bite you hard.
you mis spelled.
They're coming for you trump. You've made some stupid decisions over the past few years that are going to come back and bite you hard.
and i got 550M dollars to prove my statement.
Yes she did 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
seems you didn't like my comment. dont i have freedom of speech?
Interesting take. What is your opinion on Jared Kushner and his dealings with the Saudi Arabian government?!!?
@@k1988smithWho gives a fuc last time we checked he's not the DA of Fulton County. Stop deflecting for Fannie dropped her panties for some Nathans.
Fani is clearly crooked beyond measure.
Fani is crooked as the days long...
You're as ignorant as Benedict Donald is orange.
I wish you people would figure out exactly what you stand for. You either support all criminal activity, Trump or shut the hell up.
That’s one thing about you people, the self righteous insanity. But somehow YOU PEOPLE are no. 1 on the FBI’s list for at least 12 of the worst societal criminal activities.
White folk in glass houses should stop throwing stones.
What about in winter?
Even her face is not telling the truth!! What happened to her appearance since 2 weeks ago? Botox, fillers, lips done? She is taking advantage of her salary before it is gone….🥴🤢🤡
Unbelievable on how defiant and arrogant this woman still is, but that will not help her. As a matter of fact, I think it will backfire on her.
she stood up against trump BS lawyers. who told a false story. one they couldnt even prove in court. in their closing argument. 1) they used a fox headline as proof and 2) told the judge what the law was. like the judge didn't know. they said they didn't have to prove this lie. but only put on a good enough show that this lie MIGHT be the truth.
Disbar her how embarrassing for the judicial system in America

how dare she go after a crooked ex president. just because she already clipped the wings off 4 dont mean she can win them all.
I agree....!! She's one of those that has cheated her way to the top.
@@bonniebrown6960Then put trump and her in the same cell!..
It's 2 systems tho!.😮
I watched it all!! Fani is a liar!
Me too on the treadmill 5 miles of listening they both are screwed 😮

No pun intended?😮
They committed perjury. Plain and simple. Everyone knows it. Disbar.
She needs to loose her job and be prosecuted for lying on the stand
You forgot to mention in your report that Nathan Wade was paid more than the President of the United States in an Invoice signed off by his lover. One Invoice included a billing for working 24 straight hours in one day! Those two must have been really working all through the night!
Def one of those nights he stayed at her house. Jigalo
Out of town business trips bill total costs when working away from home. It's not a crime. Nor is it a crime to get laid when you're on a business trip. That's the only time some people have to get laid. This was nothing more than a smear campaign designed to let another wealthy person to escape justice. What law was broken? Trump, Hillary Clinton, Brett Favre, George W. Bush, Obama, Sara Huckabee Sanders, and many more should all be in prison for the crimes they have committed. How about we go after wealthy tax cheats for a change and leave working class folks alone?
She still thinks she is going to be on the case how cute 🤣🤣🤣
she knows she gonna win. thats why trump sent a team of lawyers down there to try and soften her up.
@@diegojines-us9pcShe IS on trial whether she knows it or not. The only way for her to win is if the judge is as corrupt as she is.
@@diegojines-us9pcshe was by to win but now I think she is out of the case
@@jcarr1480 see whats trump plan was all alone? hes all about putting doubt and fear in your head to make you follow like good little Hitler youths.
@@diegojines-us9pcShe is not going to win anything. Anyone who sides with this woman needs a moral check. Something is seriously wrong with you!
Fanni wanted to play the game
Wade did pay for the trips. Both Wade and Willis admitted to it. Willis said she paid him back for her share using cash but there are no receipts showing that happened from either one of them. Merchant showed today that Willis paid Wade $700,000 over two years while only paying the other two attorneys $100,000 or less each. She also showed that Willis did not ask for permission to hire Wade as required by law. She also received 5 million dollars to hire 55 lawyers but didn’t do that. She instead hired Wade at $250/hr while an expert at RICO cases got $150/hr and billed for less hours.
If I was the other two attorneys, I'd quit.
@@cwhipp9805 Don't do that! Sue her a$$ and the state for discrimination.
I'm not for Fani at all but the other lawyer with RICO experience got $ 250.00 per hour. The female got $ 150.00 per hour. Ashleigh Merchant brought this up.
@USA__2023 Ashley Merchant said flat out that he was paid more than. The RICO lawyer and the he has no RICO experience. Whether that was bc he billed more hours, I do not recall. But why would he even make the same per hour as an expert when he's clearly an amateur? We know why.
@@cwhipp9805 I agree, she got caught and hopefully will pay the price. He only billed for around 100k so far but was paid 250 per hour same as Wade. BTW I watched a lot of the Ashley Merchant videos and from what she says a lot of these people in this little saga know eachother and have been in the same court room on different sides.
Fani and Kamala cooked up this RICO case for the money😂😂😂😂
Fani is soooo corrupt.
Maybe we'll see some consequences for the corrupt race grifter Fani. Perjury is a serious matter for an attorney, particularly a DA who has the power to deprive people of their freedom.
Hmmm germany just got cought plannin to blow up russian territory which could very well ERUPT n you loooosers in usa are CORRUPT. LIKE F OFF EH
@robertcompton5232 “Race grifter” huh? 😃 Awwwww did you come up with that all by yourself? Or did you get that from the more than accurate accusations people made about Donald Trump being a grifter?😆
what do call when the other lawyer tells someone what they was told and they couldn't prove? BS
clearly robertcompton5232 is clueless about the facts in this case and what constitutes as evidence... but even ignorant people have a right to their opinion.... no matter how ignorant.
@@diegojines-us9pcwas?
Trust Me The Judge Is Watching!!
As one of Fani’s campaign donors and in consideration of the 9-0 SCOTUS ruling asserting President Trump’s right to appear on any/all US State ballots……we sure hope so!!
He failed to recuse himself which puts him in his own bad position and should be thrown off the bench. That’s why he NEEDS 2 weeks to render judgement since the State of GA and the US House are onto Fani’s own RICO games. WHO conceals payments to a contracted colleague with CASH when she has to go to the lengths of applying for funds and by law creating escrow accounts?!?!
if the judge is watching outside the case events. then he should be kicked out of his seat. because anything that isn't said in court isn't official.
@@diegojines-us9pc bruh...
You KNOW he is.
She really thinks. She is getting off.
What goes around comes around her pass is catching up with her evil has a boomerang effect, I think she and the others were so hard on the Atlanta teachers and and (may she rest in peace the Superintendent ) so sad what happened back then 😢
Those Atlanta teachers were wrong for cheating too. That's how people like her got ahead, because thier teacher's passed them on in life whether they passed thier test or not. It's all a hush hush 🤫😡 game to get them ahead in life. Non of the rest of us got those privileges. We didn't get a free pass if we didn't pass a test in school or college. We didn't get free colleges either. That's how these people get ahead in life. When in fact they're just a bunch of lying cheating crooks. Makes me sick to my stomach.
As Fani Willis's Daddy said: "It's a Black thing"
unlike white people. the pizza boy wont take a credit card from black people. didnt you know that?
U assume the pizza delivery person is a boy???? They/Them could be non binary.@@diegojines-us9pc
I'm white, and my Mama told us to always have some cash at home, and at least $20 in my purse if I go on a date, in case I need a taxi. It has nothing to do with black.
Fani brought this on herself by violating the rules of the Georgia Bar. Nathan Wade is also in blatant Bar and State violation as his own website outlines. He explicitly portends "as a recently appointed Special Assistant Attorney General for the STATE of Georgia". He not only made up a title; he’s also acting like the STATE of GA selected him!! At best he was hired as a CONTRACTOR by Fani via Fulton COUNTY. Just go look at his website and GA Bar Rules.
She didn't violate anything.
I wish you people would figure out exactly what you stand for. You either support all criminal activity, Trump or shut the hell up.

Denial is an island. See if you can find it.
Georgia is interesting in the fact Trump wasn't only indicted by one grand jury but two grand juries indicted him. These attacks on Fani Willis are nothing more than a tactic to shut down the most important trial against criminal defendant Trump. And the people want it televised.
@@Everyoneisanartist776 So you hate “white folk” like Biden…
She is So brazen ,which shows such contempt for the people of Georgia
Mainly Atlanta
Ashleigh Merchant for Fulton County DA!!!
She needs to be disbarred
For what?
@@caliindoor Keep up. Embezzling funds, State and Federal. Lying under statement to the court and under oath in court!
Yep, the Blonde's gotta go.
How big of a Duhh do you want?
Here come the privileged.
The arrogance of this woman is unbelievable. She truly has an over the top "god" complex about herself regarding her job title. She absolutely believes that she's untouchable in that courtroom. Leticia James behaves the exact same way.
Fani is guilty lock her up 😊
Ethics are meeting today! Ms Willis gave him 4 times what is normal for a prosecter
She needs to get a lawyer lmfao!!!!!!
Like her going after President Trump isn't just a political quest, or rather let's call it what it really is, election interferences! 😂😂 Oh the hypocrisy is thick with this 1!
Why did Sydney and Chesebro plead guilty?
No matter the outcome of the judge and/or any committee's determination, her career and reputation is over. She will NEVER in her lifetime recover from this, so I hope the relationship and money was worth what her life is going to become. And Tyler Perry is going to make a bundle when the movie is finally made.
Fani can deny it all she wants but the truth (which they were trying so hard to hide) is finally coming to light. Now, time for Willis and Wade to face the consequences of their actions! If there is nothing to hide then she should release the 12,000 something text messages between her and Wade to prove their innocence but we all know they won’t do that. Wonder why?🤔
Fani doing the right thing when off the rails a long time ago LOL!!
Funny Willis is crying now 😿
Corruption
Yep another dei hire
Why would she need a lawyer if she's done nothing wrong.
For justice
No matter whodonnit

Hyprocite!! 🙄 You’ve done wrong but dug a ditch for someone that you’re going to fall in yourself! 😯 just 😯 No accountability whatsoever!
Embarrassing as a black woman to see this played right into our faces!
I hope you're equally embarrassed of yourself when you realize she hasn't done anything wrong.
@@caliindoor I know that it’s hard to accept the truth.
I don’t go by a person’s color of their skin, I go by their character and actions.
Besides what she’s done behind closed doors is how she carried herself on that stand!
Like a Jezebel that’s in control and have power!
No class whatsoever!
Nor humility!
Then had the nerves to go to the house of God with that foolishness!
Committing fornication and adultery and the church leader’s allowed her to do it because she’s black!
I’m not on black side, I’m on God’s side! If you’re right, you’re right but if you’re wrong you’re wrong!
That’s a shame!
@@caliindoor Hope you're embarrassed by trying to defend Fani and Wade. 🤡like you never learn. But it's coming to you soon!
@@caliindoorIgnorance is bliss. Try to keep up.
@@caliindoor We all know why. 🤣
Doesn't the Senate refer for prosecution? If they deem appropriate? I do believe so!
Karma hurry and let us watch!
We live in a banana republic. The fact that citizens still have to listen to Fanny speak is beyond belief.
Fani Willys is guilty
Disbar and put her in jail,
What you fail to understand, is the senate has the authority for a criminal referral.
The senate does have teeth.
You started this out by stating otherwise.
And that is false.
Do better!
but you dont understand they have to quit this clown show in 2 weeks. once the judge rules for FANI. the senate has no power to send this back to the courts. but it makes for good gossip for MAGA and fox.
She seems completely unhinged from reality. "she's gonna do the right thing" wow. 2:04 😋
The former DA Willis is in deep trouble Ashley is walking all over her
Could it possibly be that Georgia State Senator Burt Jones called in some favors, since he is the only one of the Alternate Electors being investigated, that got off on a technicality?
When its all said and done just let me know when Fani is on only fans....
Thought the same thing lol
Eww
Committee doesn’t know the law they’re like a bunch of third graders that don’t even know the law this needs to go to Capitol Hill in front of Jim Jordan
She's no different than Mayor Tiffany Henyard up near Chicago.
There's another one here in GA that got busted for selling drugs out of her house.
She knows she’s boned! 😂
Wade boned her for quite a few years.
@@stancatalin4272And got paid for it!
The White House Paid Wade..they are all working together
She’s continuing on with her games!!!
Her Security guy cannot stop staring at her butt. Look at him.
Fani is so arrogant. Wow
Those people who refuse to SEE THROUGH THIS SCAM....
Are wearing "special darkened glasses"!!!
Yes, but the committee can do a “criminal referral” to the Georgia AG, Chris Carr.
Arrest Fani !!!
His invoices contain no claims of anything he did, just blocks of billable hours. Fani, in her official capacity, approved full payment WITHOUT QUESTION. Let's see his work product.
It's hard to believe someone like this could ever get hired. But then again, anyone reading this is probably not surprised.
Unbelievable!
Bring it on Fanni we've seen already who you are. You disturbed the HIVE!
You’re gonna do the right thing, while doing all the wrong things?
❤❤❤ Negative, it Has Lots Of Impact On The Trial, It Changed The Focus Of The People Away From Their Prosecutor For Criminal Justice, And FOCUSED It On The Prosecutor As A Criminal ❤❤❤
Fani is not contrite, her portrayal of her arrogance speaks volumes. The fact that she used to church a house of worship to try and garner support for an illicit affair speaks highly of her character and her broken moral compass.
Fani got caught with her pants down and her hands in your pockets !
How did any of these people (Willis, Wade,and Bradley) ever get a law degree?🙄 The whole thing is such a comedy show🤮
Is the DOJ and white house still standing in the shadows???
Ashleigh Merchant is making extrajudicial comments that potentially could prejudice the judge’s pending decision in an ongoing criminal case. There is good reason to believe that by testifying in this committee hearing, she is violating Rule 3.6 of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct governing trial publicity.
"All the belize trips"...how do they have so much time to vacation while conducting the trial of the century?
Why are Republican Senators involved in this? Why is Romans Lawyer still involved in this? An issue has been brought up that might warrant an Ethics inquiry - but that is it. Let’s get on with the RICO case that is in No Way impacted by the alleged relationship/hiring issue.
I agree. Apparently. In My opinion, I THINK YOU NEED TO GIVE REPECT TO GET IT 🙏☺️
Fani Willis, Is illegal disqualify her.
She is so corrupt 🤬🤬
Fani got laid and Wade got paid! Simple math!
She wanted to go to Bahamas herself! She wants Wade for a lover. There are no legal issues affecting her or her client in these allegations.
I am surprised there isnt an uproar from the residents of fulton County. Its their money that was squandered!
It's all in the color of her skin.
😂😂😂she better buy a big towel! Gonna take bout 20 years to dry off in prison!😂😂😂
THEY SHOULD HAVE LET MACAFFEE DO HIS JOB, INSTEAD OFTELLING HIM HOW TO DO IT IN MY OPINION
Fani sham
They have already perjured themselves
Zero impact? What a joke.
This aged bad for conservatives
Justice?!! You ain't nothing but a crook. She's cheated her way to the top. She needs to be fired and put in jail.
A great hire by fani, she should get a pay rise.
WHERE IS THE KEN .... HE SAID IS NOTHING WRONG HERE
Criminal
Why she so worried about Fanni, she needs to get herself together. Pull back the layers all are guilty
For Sale: 28 inch rims like new please contact Nathan.
Her own stuff is coming back on her! Karma!
Big Fani you are going to stand up for justice?? Come on big Fanny !!!😏😞
nice to finally see that’s she not trying to pull the race card. I guess she saw that it wasn’t working she had to switch tactics
🤣🤣🤣🤣🍅🍅🍅 TOMATOES LOL FUNNY SHE IS CHANGING HER TONE LOL AFTER BEING CAUGHT IN LIES AND WITH SHIRLEY FRANKLIN BEHIND HER.
😂😂😂😂
This woman is a narcissist
Go fanni all they are doing is trying to help trump
It has nothing to do with Trump. She Fd up BIGTIME!!
Watching this shit show shows it is very easy to pass the bar exam
Box tickers are ruining everything.
EVERYTHING paid in CASH says FANI with no Receipts'
DEI seems alive and well in Atlanta news broadcasting.
Go FANI 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
corrupt corrupt corrupt
The world is watching. This young judge is portraying the state of Georgia in a very unflattering way. Gossip is the legal standard?
