In an orderly society, it\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-make-a-terrible-and-dangerous-bargain-with-oil-and-gas\/\" title=\"Democrats Make A Terrible \u2014 And Dangerous \u2014 Bargain With Oil And Gas\">pretty straight-forward<\/a>, fool-proof \u2064system.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>But in the days after George Floyd was canonized, of course, all rules were suspended.<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Things \u200dstarted breaking down. \u2062Accordingly, on June 12 of that year, a 27-year-old man named Rayshard Brooks decided to treat the Wendy\u2019s drive-thru \u2063like a motel room. He got \u200bdrunk out of his \u200cmind and passed out in\u2062 his car,\u2063 as he waited to get his hamburger and frosty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then, when two police officers arrived in an attempt to keep the drive-thru moving, Brooks started fighting \u2064with one \u200dof the\u2062 officers, stole his taser, and\u2062 began running\u2063 away. A few seconds later,\u2063 Brooks turned\u2064 around and pointed the \u200cstolen taser\u200b at the officers, at which point \u200che was shot and killed. It was not only a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-police-group-blames-left-leaning-policies-for-deadly-crime-spikes-vilification-of-law-enforcement\/\" title=\"EXCLUSIVE: Police Group Blames \u2018Left-Leaning Policies\u2019 For Deadly Crime Spikes, \u2018Vilification Of Law Enforcement\u2019\">justified police shooting<\/a> but \u200cperhaps one of \u2062the most \u2064justified \u200cpolice shootings\u2064 ever caught on film.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nevertheless, just\u200c a few \u2063days later,\u200b the\u200b top prosecutor in Fulton County Georgia,\u2062 a\u2062 guy named \u200dPaul Howard, decided to charge both officers on the scene with \u2063a variety of crimes. One of\u2062 the officers was hit \u2062with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-mother-says-her-teen-was-forced-to-share-classroom-with-student-accused-of-beating-her-on-a-school-bus\/\" title=\"Texas mom claims her teen had to share classroom with student accused of assaulting her on a bus.\">aggravated \u2062assault charges<\/a>. \u2064The other cop \u2014 \u2062the officer who shot\u200b Brooks\u2064 \u2014 was charged with capital murder. In other words, \u2062Howard tried to \u2063give a cop the death sentence\u200d for the crime of simply doing his job. And it\u2019s all because,\u2063 as Paul Howard argued, they\u200c didn\u2019t seem afraid <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">after<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  they\u200c had shot Rayshard Brooks and neutralized the threat he presented \u2014 as \u2063if they should\u2062 have been cowering behind their\u200c cruisers until backup \u200carrived. That was the actual argument\u200d Howard made.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This makes no sense whatsoever, which is why a couple of years later \u200c\u2014 after these officers\u2019 careers and \u200dlives were\u2062 destroyed \u200b\u2014 a special prosecutor dropped the \u2063charges. Howard was then\u200c voted out of office. This obviously incompetent, politically motivated D.A. was gone. He lost the ability to bring frivolous charges against anyone else ever again.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/ep-1316-we-re-living-under-a-tyranny-of-mediocre-morons-member-exclusive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH: The Matt \u2064Walsh Show<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unfortunately for the people\u200d of \u2064Atlanta and the rest of the\u200d country,\u200d Howard\u2019s replacement was a woman named Fani Willis. And over the past few days, it\u2019s become \u200cclear that Willis is somehow an even \u2064less dignified, more incompetent, and more corrupt version of the\u200d man\u2063 she replaced. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Willis is not simply\u2062 trying to prosecute two police officers to appease the mob, \u200cas unforgivable as that is. Willis is instead trying to imprison\u2062 the leading candidate in the U.S. \u200cpresidential election. And she\u2019s doing it, apparently, to enrich herself and her\u200b boyfriend, Nathan Wade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last \u2062week, Willis had to answer questions under\u200d oath \u200cin a hearing about her romantic relationship with Wade. That\u2019s because Willis has told the\u200b court that the relationship began only <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">after<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  she named Wade \u2014\u2063 a family\u200d lawyer with no\u2062 experience prosecuting RICO cases \u2014 as a key lawyer overseeing the Trump RICO prosecution. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Willis\u2019 claim was contradicted\u2062 in the hearing by a former co-worker in Willis\u2019 office, who \u200dsaid the relationship actually began back in 2019:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING: \u2062Fani Willis\u2019 friend testifies that Nathan Wade\u2019s romantic relationship\u200c with Willis started in 2019. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2f6GM4I92I\">pic.twitter.com\/2f6GM4I92I<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ALX \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@alx) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alx\/status\/1758154707992764738?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 15, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This\u200d is obviously a big \u200bproblem for Fani Willis, Nathan Wade,\u2064 and the entire \u200bTrump prosecution. If they \u200clied to the \u200dcourt, they can be disqualified or even disbarred \u2062on that \u2064basis\u200c alone. But in context, the\u200d reason for the lie is even more important. Fani \u200dWillis, by \u2062hiring Wade, was able to direct hundreds of thousands of\u200d taxpayer dollars into his bank account. And the two apparently used\u2062 that money to fund\u2063 a lavish lifestyle \u2014 which means the RICO prosecutors might be guilty of a \u200dlittle RICO themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019ve\u200b probably heard this analysis \u2063from other pundits already, so I won\u2019t belabor it. \u200dWhat I will emphasize, however, because a lot of people \u200care \u2063too\u200c polite to say it\u2062 out loud, is that above and beyond \u200cher obvious corruption, Fani Willis is a complete \u200dmoron. \u200dPut aside \u2062the fact that she\u2019s trying to sabotage the upcoming election in\u2064 a\u2064 flagrant act of election interference. Fani Willis \u2014 the chief\u200d law enforcement officer in Fulton County, Georgia \u2014 is not even remotely close to being a bright woman. This\u2064 hearing made that \u200cvery clear. And the\u200b implications could not\u2063 be any more significant. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are too \u2063many\u2064 clips to show \u2064you that prove this point, \u200dso here\u2019s just a couple.

But the designation of \u201chostile witness\u201d \u200dhas\u200b nothing to do with wanting \u2063to testify or\u200b not. It means that the witness has adverse interests to the party questioning her \u2014 which is the normal \u2062situation on cross-examination,\u2064 but an unusual situation\u2064 on direct examination. Being\u200d a \u201chostile witness\u201d basically means \u2064that \u200dthe \u2063lawyers can ask\u2064 the\u2063 witness more aggressive leading \u200bquestions on direct examination, as if it\u2019s a cross-examination. You\u2019d think Willis would know this,\u2064 as the D.A. of Fulton County. But apparently not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fani \u200cWillis also doesn\u2019t appear to understand the legal implications of other claims she made during her \u2063testimony. For example, in the\u2064 first clip you just saw, Willis states, \u201cWhen I\u2063 took out a large\u200c amount \u200bof money on my \u200dfirst campaign, I kept some of the cash of that.\u201d I\u2019m not a campaign finance expert, but that \u200bseems like the kind of statement \u2063that \u200cyou don\u2019t want to make under oath.\u2064 Using campaign funds for personal expenses is generally \u200dfrowned upon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To be fair, elsewhere in the hearing, Willis does say that she took\u200c money out \u2064of \u2063her retirement account \u200cto fund her campaign for local judge (before she\u200c ran for\u200c D.A.) \u2014 so it\u2019s possible she\u2019s\u2063 referring to her own money here. But it\u2019s\u200d not clear whether she told donors to her D.A. campaign about this arrangement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That would certainly be the professional thing to do. But, after watching Fani \u200bWillis\u2019\u200d other testimony, we have reason\u2062 to doubt her professionalism, \u200cto put it mildly.

These are people with the power to use the force of law to imprison and bankrupt pretty much anyone in\u200d the state. They\u2019re elected, supposedly,\u200c to uphold fundamental \u200bprinciples of\u200d fairness and\u2064 justice \u2014 without which we\u2064 do not have the rule of\u2062 law.\u200d When D.A.s start acting like\u2062 sassy\u2063 waitresses, or trashy\u200c pop \u2063stars, then people, understandably, lose all faith in the judicial\u200d system. If \u200dthey have no integrity, then the\u200b system has\u2064 no integrity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It doesn\u2019t help matters\u200c that Fani Willis was reportedly \u200c <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-13092639\/fani-willis-dress-backwards-georgia-misconduct-hearing.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">wearing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  \u2063her dress backwards, and her\u2064 flag-pin \u200csideways. Now, for the record, this isn\u2019t confirmed. Fashion experts on the internet have \u200didentified two dresses that are similar to the one Fani Willis \u200dwas\u200d wearing \u2014 one with the zipper in \u2064the back, and \u2063one with the\u2062 zipper in the\u2062 front,\u2064 as Fani Willis was wearing\u200b it. Here\u2019s a side by side \u2063of the two dresses in question:<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_699333\" style=\"width: 825px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-699333\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adrianna Papell, Women\u2019s Knit Crepe Tie Waist Sheath Dress, Color: Wildberry.\u200c Retrieved from \u200cBelk.com.<br \/>Adrianna Papell, Tie Waist Crepe Sheath Dress, Color: Vibrant Coral. \u200bRetrieved from Nordstrom.com.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re more inclined to pursue this\u2064 question\u2064 than I am,\u200b you can \u200dcompare those \u2064images\u2062 to the pictures of Fani Willis testifying. And you\u2063 can come to \u200byour own conclusion on whether\u2062 she\u2019s wearing the dress properly. \u2063But \u200bthe point is, given everything else about Willis\u2019 testimony, it\u2019s completely believable that she doesn\u2019t know how to dress herself. If \u200cshe doesn\u2019t know anything \u200dabout the law,\u200d even though \u2063she\u2019s a lawyer, then putting clothes on\u200c could also present challenges. This is the level of \u2062faith that people have in Fani Willis, and deservedly so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a result, right now it \u2063looks\u2063 like\u200c Willis stands a real \u200cchance of getting\u2063 booted off this case. Her\u2063 performance \u2063was that \u200cbad, to say nothing of the fact she \u200dapparently lied to the court.\u2064 But even if she and \u2062Nathan Wade are ultimately disqualified\u2062 from continuing this prosecution, the reality is that there are many\u200c more \u2062equally incompetent prosecutors waiting to take their place in the state of Georgia.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK\u200d HERE TO GET THE\u200d DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Take this\u200d footage from\u2062 a couple of months ago,\u2063 for example. \u2062It\u2019s from the \u200cprosecutor\u2019s closing\u200b argument in \u200cthe case of Hannah Payne. For background, \u200bHannah \u200bPayne witnessed\u2064 an impaired driver run a \u200bred light, cause a car accident, then flee the scene. Payne realized no one had the guy\u2019s license plate, so she\u2064 gave chase and pulled in front of the \u2062guy. Then she \u2062says the man grabbed her wrist through the window of the car, and the gun went \u2062off,\u200b killing him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether you think Hannah Payne is guilty of murder or not, based on\u200c those \u2063facts, you have to \u2063concede \u200bit\u2019s a complex case. Hannah Payne\u2019s life \u2062is on the line, and it\u2019s clear she\u2019s not a malicious person who goes around shooting people at random. Plus,\u2064 she\u2063 had reason to worry\u2063 that this impaired driver was going to cause more\u200c accidents. So\u2064 given that background, you \u2062might \u200bassume\u2064 that the prosecutor \u2064in \u200bthis case\u2062 would be a serious person, well-versed in the law, who\u2019s able to \u2064communicate professionally to\u200b the jury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Instead, here\u2019s the prosecutor who was\u200d assigned to Hannah Payne\u2019s case. Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cShe shoulda minded her own bid-ness,\u201d says the prosecutor.\u200b Then she pauses for a while, just to let the line sink in. This was her\u200c \u201cClarence Darrow\u201d moment and you can tell she\u2019s proud of it. The rest of us are wondering whether \u2063there are any prosecutors in Georgia who don\u2019t act like Fani Willis. Is there a single prosecutor in the \u2064state who\u2019s capable of speaking\u200d and acting like \u2063an actual lawyer? Again, this is the major\u2063 crimes division. This is a homicide case. And this is the best they can offer?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The problem isn\u2019t just confined \u2062to Georgia,\u2064 of course, although it appears to be especially acute there. We\u2019re living under a tyranny of\u200d mediocre morons. These\u2062 morons are\u2062 representing the government in court, \u200dwhere they can send you \u2062to \u200dprison for the rest of your life. In some cases they\u2019re also enforcing the law \u200con \u200bthe street,\u2063 as \u200dpolice officers. And they have the complete and total backing of the government. There\u2019s no effort underway to\u2062 restore competence to any\u2063 of these positions.

They\u2019ll go on television and reveal how incompetent and corrupt they are. They just can\u2019t help themselves, that\u2019s the\u2064 good news. The bad news \u2064is that there\u2019s an endless supply of these amoral half wits out there, waiting to\u2063 replace their bosses when they\u2019re\u2063 gone. And in some cases they\u2019re even worse, somehow, than the failures they replace. Get\u200c rid \u200dof Paul \u2064Howard,\u200b and you\u2019ll get Fani Willis. This is the pattern. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE TO \u200dGET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What\u200d were the charges brought against the two police officers involved in the shooting \u200cof Rayshard Brooks at the Wendy&#8217;s drive-thru?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  You might think that it \u2062would be difficult to cause any kind of serious problem in a Wendy\u2019s\u2063 drive-thru. The concept \u200bis\u2064 pretty simple:\u2063 You \u2064sit in the\u200c car, and when it\u2019s your turn, you drive up, get\u200c your \u2062order, and \u200cthen you drive off. In\u2062 an\u2064 orderly society, it\u2019s a pretty straight-forward, \u200dfool-proof system.<\/p>\n<p>But in the days after George Floyd was \u200ccanonized, of course, \u200ball rules were\u200c suspended. Things\u200c started breaking down. Accordingly, on June 12 \u2062of that year, a 27-year-old man named\u200c Rayshard Brooks decided\u2064 to treat the Wendy\u2019s drive-thru like a motel room. He got drunk out of his mind and \u200cpassed out \u200bin his car as he waited \u2062to\u2063 get\u200d his \u200dhamburger and frosty.<\/p>\n<p>Then, \u2063when two police officers arrived\u2062 in an attempt to keep the drive-thru moving, \u2063Brooks \u200cstarted fighting\u200b with one of the officers, stole his taser, and began \u2063running \u2063away. A few seconds later, Brooks turned around \u2062and pointed the stolen taser at the officers, at which point \u200dhe was shot and killed. \u2063It was not only a justified police shooting but perhaps one of the most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/analysis-free-rein-for-radical-elements-partly-to-blame-for-protests-turning-hostile\/\" title=\"ANALYSIS: Free Rein For Radical Elements Partly to Blame For Protests Turning Hostile\">justified police shootings<\/a> ever caught on film.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, \u200djust a few days later, the top prosecutor in Fulton County Georgia, a guy named Paul\u200c Howard, decided to charge\u200b both officers on the scene with a variety \u200bof crimes. One of the officers was hit with \u200baggravated assault charges. The \u2064other cop \u2014 the officer who shot Brooks \u2014 was \u2064charged\u2062 with\u200d capital murder.\u2064 In other words,\u200c Howard tried to \u2064give a\u200b cop the death\u200c sentence for the crime of \u2063simply doing his job. And \u200cit\u2019s \u200call because, as Paul Howard \u2064argued, they didn\u2019t \u2064seem afraid after \u200dthey had shot Rayshard Brooks and\u2064 neutralized the threat he presented \u2014 \u200cas if they should have been cowering behind\u200c their cruisers until \u2063backup arrived. That was the actual argument Howard \u2064made.<\/p>\n<p>This makes no sense whatsoever, which is why\u2064 a couple of years later \u200d\u2014 after \u2064these officers\u2019 careers and lives were destroyed \u2014 a \u2062special prosecutor dropped the charges. Howard was then voted out of\u2063 office. This obviously\u200d incompetent, \u2062politically motivated D.A. was gone. He lost \u2063the ability to bring frivolous charges\u200c against anyone\u200c else ever again.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for the people of Atlanta and the rest \u2062of the\u2064 country, Howard\u2019s replacement was a woman named\u200d Fani Willis. And over the past\u200d few days, it\u2019s become clear that Willis is somehow\u2062 an \u2064even less \u200cdignified, \u2064more incompetent, and more corrupt version\u200c of the man she replaced.<\/p>\n<p>Willis is not\u2064 simply trying\u200c to prosecute two police officers to appease the \u200bmob, \u200das\u2062 unforgivable as\u200b that is. Willis is instead trying to imprison the leading candidate in the U.S. \u200dpresidential election. \u2064And she\u2019s doing it, apparently, to enrich herself and her boyfriend, Nathan Wade.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Willis had to answer questions under oath in a \u200chearing about her \u2063romantic\u2063 relationship\u2063 with Wade. That\u2019s because\u2062 Willis \u200chas told the court that the\u2064 relationship began \u200bonly after she named Wade \u2014 a family lawyer with no\u200d experience prosecuting RICO cases \u2014 as a key lawyer\u2063 overseeing the Trump RICO prosecution.<\/p>\n<p>But Willis\u2019 claim was contradicted in the hearing\u200b by a former \u200dco-worker in Willis\u2019\u200d office, who said the relationship \u200dactually began \u2062back in\u2064 2019:<\/p>\n<p>BREAKING: Fani\u2064 Willis\u2019 friend testifies that Nathan\u2063 Wade\u2019s\u2062 romantic\u200b relationship with Willis\u200c started in 2019. pic.twitter.com\/2f6GM4I92I<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ALX \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\u200d (@alx) February 15, 2024<\/p>\n<p>This \u200cis obviously a big problem for Fani Willis, Nathan Wade, and \u200cthe entire \u200dTrump prosecution. If they lied to the court, they can \u2063be disqualified \u2062or even disbarred on that basis alone. But in \u200bcontext, the reason for \u2062the\u200c lie is even more\u200b important. Fani\u2062 Willis, by hiring Wade, was able to direct\u200b hundreds\u200b of thousands of taxpayer dollars into\u2064 his bank account. And the two apparently used that\u200b money to\u200c fund a lavish lifestyle \u2014 which means the RICO prosecutors \u2064might be guilty of a little RICO themselves.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve probably heard this analysis\u200d from other\u2064 pundits\u2062 already, so I won\u2019t belabor it. What I will emphasize, however, because a lot of people are \u2062too polite to say it out \u200dloud, is that above and beyond her \u2064obvious corruption, \u2062Fani Willis is a complete moron. Put aside \u2063the\u200c fact that she\u2019s\u200c trying to sabotage the upcoming election \u200bin a flagrant\u200c act of election interference. Fani Willis \u200d\u2014\u200b the chief law \u2063enforcement officer in Fulton County, Georgia\u2062 \u2014 is not even\u2064 remotely close to being a bright woman.\u200c This hearing\u200c made that very clear. And the implications could not be any more significant.<\/p>\n<p>There are\u2064 too\u200b many clips\u200b to \u2062show you that prove this point,\u200c so here\u2019s just a couple.

It means\u200c that\u2064 the witness\u200d has adverse interests to \u2063the party questioning her \u2014 which is the normal situation on cross-examination, but an unusual situation on direct examination. \u2062Being \u200ba\u2064 \u201chostile witness\u201d basically means that the lawyers can ask the witness more aggressive leading questions on direct examination, as \u2064if\u2063 it\u2019s a cross-examination. You\u2019d think\u2064 Willis \u2064would know\u200c this, as the D.A. of Fulton County. But apparently not.<\/p>\n<p>Fani Willis also doesn\u2019t \u200cappear to understand\u200b the legal implications of other claims\u2063 she made\u2064 during \u200dher testimony. For example, in the first clip you just saw, Willis states, \u201cWhen I took \u2062out a large amount of money on my first campaign, I \u200ckept some of the cash of that.\u201d I\u2019m not a\u2064 campaign \u200cfinance expert, but that seems like \u200dthe kind of statement that you don\u2019t want to make under oath. Using\u200c campaign funds for personal expenses is generally frowned \u200dupon.<\/p>\n<p>To be fair, elsewhere in the\u200d hearing, Willis does \u2063say that she took\u200c money out of her retirement account\u200b to\u200d fund her campaign for local judge (before she ran for D.A.) \u2014 so it\u2019s \u2063possible she\u2019s referring to her own\u2062 money here. But it\u2019s not clear whether\u200c she told donors to her D.A. campaign about this arrangement.<\/p>\n<p>That would certainly be the professional thing to do. But, after watching Fani \u2064Willis\u2019 other testimony, we have reason to\u2063 doubt her professionalism, to put it mildly. \u200bWatch:<\/p>\n<p>FANI: \u201cSo if you\u2064 tell me it\u2019s \u2062a G then you gon get a thousand dollas\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\ud83e\udd23\ud83d\udc80<\/p>\n<p>pic.twitter.com\/btdE40nico<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ALX \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@alx) February 15, 2024<\/p>\n<p>FANI WILLIS: \u201cI don&#8217;t\u2064 like wine. \u200dI \u2062like Grey Goose.\u201d \ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n<p>pic.twitter.com\/1ZXEqSRPHh<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ALX \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@alx) \u200dFebruary 16,\u200b 2024<\/p>\n<p>It used to \u2062be that prosecutors displayed some level of respect for the office they held. These are people with the power \u200cto use\u200d the force of law to\u2063 imprison and bankrupt pretty much anyone in the state. They\u2019re elected, supposedly, to uphold fundamental principles of \u2063fairness and justice \u2014 without which we\u200d do not have \u2064the\u200b rule of law. When\u2062 D.A.s \u200dstart acting like sassy waitresses, or trashy pop\u2062 stars, then people, understandably, lose all \u2062faith in the judicial system. If they have no integrity,\u2064 then the system has no integrity.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t \u2063help matters\u200b that Fani\u2062 Willis was reportedly wearing her dress backwards, and\u200b her flag-pin sideways.\u2064 Now, for the record, this isn\u2019t confirmed. Fashion \u2062experts \u2062on the internet have \u200didentified two dresses that are similar to\u2062 the one \u200cFani Willis\u2064 was\u2064 wearing \u2014 one\u200b with the zipper in the back, and one\u2064 with\u200b the zipper in \u2063the \u200bfront, as Fani Willis was wearing \u200cit. Here\u2019s a side by side of the two dresses in question:<\/p>\n<p>Adrianna Papell, Women\u2019s Knit\u200c Crepe Tie Waist Sheath Dress, Color: Wildberry. Retrieved from Belk.com.<\/p>\n<p>Adrianna Papell, \u2064Tie Waist Crepe Sheath Dress, Color: Vibrant Coral. Retrieved\u200d from Nordstrom.com.<\/p>\n<p>If \u2064you\u2019re more inclined to pursue this \u2063question than \u2064I am, \u200cyou can compare those images to the pictures of Fani Willis \u200dtestifying. And\u200b you can come to your own\u2064 conclusion on whether she\u2019s wearing\u2062 the dress properly. But the point is, given everything else about Willis\u2019 testimony, it\u2019s completely believable\u200c that she doesn\u2019t know how to dress herself. If she doesn\u2019t know anything about the law, even though she\u2019s a\u200b lawyer, then putting clothes on could \u200dalso present challenges. This is\u2064 the level of faith that people have in Fani Willis,\u200c and \u200bdeservedly so.<\/p>\n<p>As \u2063a result, right now it\u200c looks like Willis stands a\u2064 real chance of getting booted off this case. Her performance\u200c was\u200d that bad, to say nothing of the\u200c fact she apparently lied to the court. But even if\u2062 she and Nathan Wade are ultimately disqualified from continuing this prosecution, the reality \u2062is\u200d that there \u2063are many more equally incompetent prosecutors waiting to take their place \u200din the state of Georgia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Causing trouble at a Wendy&#8217;s drive-thru seems unlikely.
