Judge Orders Fani Willis to Provide More Information About Her Alleged Search for Emails Between Her Office and Trump Prosecutor Jack Smith

Records searches are usually done electronically those days. You enter a series of search terms and the computer spits out results. These are the emails termed "responsive documents" -- they are responsive to your search terms.

Criminals in the government have long used pseudonyms so that you can't find their very responsive emails by search terms. John Brennan can claim he has no "responsive" documents scheming about prosecuting Trump with the anti-American foreign plant Barack Obama, because Obama used a lot of fake names in his emails.

And, of course, someone pretending to "search" her records with Jack Smith could deliberately avoid searching for the key terms that would bring up Smith's emails. She could say "I found no responsive documents" even though she rigged the search to not find the documents.

Judicial Watch seems to suspect that Fani Willis is an untrustworthy criminal and actually corresponded with Jack Smith while claiming "no responsive documents." Who knows what Willis is hiding -- her, and her illicit gigolo lover Darrius "Sweetdick" Honeycum, Esq., or his "legal partners" Lance Clamhammer and Rex DeQuim.

A judge has ordered Willis to provide Big Fanny to provide details about what exactly she searched for when she pretended to do the search.

Judicial Watch on Monday announced that a Georgia judge last week ordered Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to provide additional information in her search for records related to her prosecution of President Donald Trump.
...
Willis' office later admitted that it had found some missing records during a fifth search of her office, and her office was ordered to supply over 212 pages of records and provide an affidavit detailing how the records were found.
The Judicial Watch lawsuit as well as a House Judiciary inquiry were seeking to find out the extent of cooperation between Willis' office and the highly politicized January 6 Committee, along with Jack Smith's office. But when Willis originally claimed she had no such records, it also became a question of what she was hiding and why.
The judge noted in last week's order that Willis' recent affidavit regarding her office's search for the Trump-related records did not include information on whether the devices owned by former Fulton County Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade [government name: Darrius "Sweetdick" Honeycum, Esq.] or Chief Investigator Michael Hill were searched for the records.
The Georgia judge instructed Willis to clarify whether Wade's devices were searched and to search the devices if they were not. The judge also directed Willis to provide the search protocols used on Hill's and Wade's devices.
"Fani Willis can't be trusted," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement.

NYT obtained a letter from Jack Smith's attorneys insisting he did not violate the Hatch Act by bringing two unprecedented criminal indictments against President Trump a little over a year before the 2024 election.

86 You'd think that "nobody could be stupid enough to create and exchange incriminating documents." You'd be wrong. People do.

My fav was a hand-written memo from one executive to another. Their company was acquiring a competitor and the DOJ was worried it was all about getting monopoly power to increase prices.

Newsflash: The deal was all about getting monopoly power to increase prices. You weren't supposed to say that, though.

Well, the handwritten memo said exactly that. And more: it ended something to the effect of "and destroy this memo because it could hurt us if the DOJ sees it."

Incredibly, the memo wasn't destroyed and we had to produce it to DOJ. Even more incredibly, the DOJ ended up ... approving the sale!

I just said “nope, not me. Must be someone else.” I thought it went away. Nope. Eventually he sort of implied it was up to me to prove it wasn’t me. I was like, FU. Prove it is, that’s not how this works.

You might think so, but no.

101 You'd think that "nobody could be stupid enough to create and exchange incriminating documents." You'd be wrong. People do.

My fav was a hand-written memo from one executive to another. Their company was acquiring a competitor and the DOJ was worried it was all about getting monopoly power to increase prices.

Newsflash: The deal was all about getting monopoly power to increase prices. You weren't supposed to say that, though.

Well, the handwritten memo said exactly that. And more: it ended something to the effect of "and destroy this memo because it could hurt us if the DOJ sees it."

Incredibly, the memo wasn't destroyed and we had to produce it to DOJ. Even more incredibly, the DOJ ended up ... approving the sale!

In truth, the executive was mostly bragging because he put the deal together. The combined companies would not have monopoly power. The DOJ saw that. But the memo caused a lot of problems and cost a lot of money to smooth over.

The biggest revelation for me was that law school was all about the law. What the cases said. What the statutes said. What was the law in theory. You were rewarded on legal exams for reciting long lists of applicable cases and law.

When I started practicing, I realized that judges don't care about that. They want to know who is the good guy, and who is the bad guy. They will find a way to let the good guy win, or at least give him every benefit of every doubt. So long lists of cases was mostly useless. It was the facts of the case that you had to emphasize, to make your client look like the good guy.

169 Well, all it took was England nearly rising up in revolution for one politician to decide it was a cause to back.

It's not like Farage is a profile in courage, has a history of electoral victory to back him up, or that Europe has gotten really used to just outlawing parties who question mass immigration recently.

Skepticism is still warranted because, well, England.

And as I said at the time, it's almost certainly the case that Reform was allowing public opinion to catch up to where they (Reform) wanted to go. It may no be a profile in courage, but it's politically savvy. Imagine if FDR had called for us to get into WWII in May of 1940. He'd have lost his next election.

Difference between first term and second term Trump?

219 In an Oxfordshire aircraft hanger this morning, Nigel Farage finally unveiled his party’s long-awaited (ed: as in expected) deportations strategy. For six weeks, asylum and small boats has dominated the airwaves. Now, after a successful summer offensive, Farage laid out his plan to deal with the problems he has exploited so successfully. To stop the small boats, he is launching ‘Operation Restoring Justice’ – an initiative to enact mass deportations if Reform wins power.

A five-page document was handed out to 200 attendees. It explains how Reform will leave the ECHR and disapply the Refugee Convention for five-years if elected in 2029. A new British Bill of Rights will be introduced, with all government departments required to make the migration crisis their number one ministerial priority. Some £2 billion will be put aside to achieve this goal. Aid and sanctions will be used as ‘carrot and stick’ to ensure cooperation from other countries.

Sounds a lot like what Trump is doing, and constitutes a very-difficult-to-back-out-of plan by Reform.

220 It's worth remembering that Trump wasn't Willis's only target for a RICO case; she also went after "rapper" Young Thug and his Young Slime Life "record label" associates. There was never any evidence that she had any expertise or even basic ability to bring RICO cases, and in fact I always halfway suspected that she only brought the other as a kind of legal smokescreen for her prosecution of Trump. I mean, it was like she was trying to say with her actions, "Look at this other gang case over here, I'm not abusing the process to go after one man; I'm just a serious D.A. who knows her RICO and likes it." Well, after all the local drama over the YSL case -- and earlier news reports that I read made it sound like a big deal socially in Atlanta, that everybody was following and had opinions on -- it finally petered out without a single murder conviction, in a major blow to Willis's rep, which indirectly helps Trump.

I like Rupert Lowe who seems genuine and says all the right things, but he doesn’t have the charisma of Farage or a party to back him.

Rupert started a movement called Restore UK, but it’s not a party, might be one day but they just started it earlier this year when Farage kicked Lowe out of Reform.

I don’t think have anybody else with enough pull to do it besides those two, at least not yet.

In another decade they’ll probably be rolling in Trump clones from the younger generations.

Posted by: SpeakingOf at August 26, 2025 04:18 PM (6ydKt)

234 Yeah, Farage disappointed a lot of people by not being tough enough.

But I think the English are desperate.

They know Reform is the only alternative to Lib-Lab-Con.

They’ve been burned so many times by lies of halting immigration that they’ll vote for anybody who isn’t establishment.

I'll believe it when some of the opposition party crosses the isle and says "Yeah, we can't go along with giving the country away either." Until, its just posturing and posing like "our" GOP is accustomed to doing...and at the last minute they will ("surprise!") reach a "historic compromise"....that leads them right back into BOTH sides in office agreeing to give the country away.

Do not trust England. England is asshoe.

Scots, not Brits. I'm not sure it will. UK peasants are very well trained to be reflexively against using weapons for defending yourself. Vast swathes of them see a 12 year old carrying a knife and a hatchet and they think, "What kind of maniac household allows a 12 year old to leave the house with those weapons."

She's also clearly lower class based on the accent and the clothes. This will make a difference as well. Lots of them will sneer about violent council tenants and move on.

Scotland is also full of multigenerational dole leaches. They take their money, get drunk, and watch football. These people cannot be roused to care about anything but those things.
