Did Fani Willis Admit to Campaign Finance Abuses?

Yesterday, Fani Willis perjured herself absurdly, claiming she paid Sweetdick back for all the taxpayer money he spent on her for flights, cruises, and hotel rooms.

When asked if she could produce any bank withdrawal records showing she'd taken out money to pay him back, she began spamming out a series of perjurious claims to explain why no such records exist:

1, her Black Panther father told her that every woman should have a half a year's worth of cash stowed around the house.

2, she would overpay at Publix and other markets and get $40 or $60 cash back. Apparently, she wants us to believe that she shops so frequently that she can rapidly accumulate the $2500 needed to pay Sweetdick back for one trip just by taking out a 20-spot here or there at Walgreen's or The Dollar Store.

3, and this is the headline story, she breezily admitted that she'd simply taken money she raised for her political campaign and simply converted it into her own private slushfund and Sex Stash.

Is this legal? Ed Morrissey writes:

This admission of conversion of campaign funds, especially in cash, could land her in legal trouble of another kind. First off, most states forbid such personal conversions of campaign funds to anything other than another campaign. Does Georgia allow candidates to simply take the cash home and use it for personal purchases? I doubt it, but we may soon find out.
Second problem: Even if Georgia law allows such personal conversions of campaign cash to personal use, it raises an issue about Willis' income tax status. That cash would have to be reported to the IRS and Georgia's revenue office as income. Did Willis report that cash and pay taxes on it? Maybe, but we also heard about a tax lien on Willis' property that remained unresolved during the period that Willis claimed to be reimbursing Wade through her cash stash (or "hoard," as one of the other defense attorneys put it).

Hit the link to read that, for some reason I cannot fathom, the trial judge will be required to accept these lies as true because, I guess, there was no live witness to claim the opposite. That is -- I'm thinking -- the rule is that if one side puts on some evidence, and the other side does not rebut with any evidence, you have to give the issue to the side with some evidence?

Even if that "evidence" is obvious lies and self-serving alibis?

Ugh. That doesn't get Fani out of the woods entirely, because the judge will, I hope, point out that she was required by regulations to note every gift of more than $100 she received, which she did not do. She chose to pretend these gifts never happened, because she alleges she paid the gifts back with completely untraceable Phantom Cash that apparently was never from any place that keeps records.

By the way, this Strong and Empowered Hot Mess wore her dress backwards:

ok this my party trick 🥳

Adrianna Papell knit crepe tied knee length sheath dress, color “camilla” or “caramilla”, circa Nordstrom 2016ish, $129 with no discount, a tailor took in her shoulders and yes, she is wearing it backwards. https://t.co/iDiTBRWuZ3
— Taylor Day (@TABYTCHI) February 16, 2024

The Fulton County DA had planned to call Fani back to the stand to cross-examine her -- in a positive way. They wanted to ask her friendly questions and improve her credibility. But they've apparently decided that this absolute wreck of an entitled bitch cannot be rehabilitated, so they're not calling her.

They called her Black Panther father, though. Presumably he lied to back her lie about telling her to always have enough cash on hand to buy not one but two engagement rings.

I don't know, I'm not watching today. I'm going to wait for the recaps later.

The payment which was made by his lawyer.
Which Trump nor his campaign reimbursed him for.

130 The campaign cash should be pretty easy to figure out. If she put any of her own money into her campaign (she did brag about having a $100K/year, two-days-a-week judgeship she called "the easiest job ever" in addition to her private practice income), she would have had to report it as such.

I don't know how that works though, as once personal funds are co-mingled with donations in a campaign, can she just rebate herself back whatever she put in of her own money? I wouldn't think so as you'd be using donor money to replace your own money. Say she put in $50K of her own cash, and ended up with a balance of over $50K when it was all over. Does she just get to pull that back out as if she never put it in?

This is not universally true right now. The legal system is in a flux and fwiw, the judge was appointed to the position, not elected. The Atlanta bar does not like how this is playing nationwide regardless of Fani's political dreams. It makes the Chamber of Commerce look bad and I think they want to Fani to go away now.

162 Current GA law on campaign contributions,

"SB 120 also clarifies and further restricts what a candidate can do with any leftover or unused campaign funds. The new law expressly prohibits using such funds to make any “gifts, loans, or investments” to the candidate, the candidate’s family, a business owned or partially owned by the candidate or a member of the candidate’s family, a trust benefiting the candidate or a member of the candidate’s family, or a nonprofit which is either controlled by or employs the candidate or a member of the candidate’s family."

From The NY Times -
The hearing resumes on Friday at 9 a.m. Ms. Willis is expected to take the stand for more grilling. The defense lawyers will likely crowd, again, onto one side of the packed courtroom. They are, in
aggregate, a sea of boxy wool suits and white male faces (with Ms.
Merchant, a white woman, a stark exception). The contrast with Ms. Willis, in glowing magenta, could not be more glaring.

183 with an even average toned body, that dress would be great right-side-front:
The sheath would cling, and the sash tied in back would not only outline the lower torso in front, but put a nice bow on the booty in back.
As it is, I'm thinking she thought wrong that the sash would hide what the jersey is doing to ruthlessly show off her abdominal collapse?

That cash would have to be reported to the IRS and Georgia's revenue office as income. Did Willis report that cash and pay taxes on it? Maybe, but we also heard about a tax lien on Willis' property that remained unresolved during the period that Willis claimed to be reimbursing Wade through her cash stash (or "hoard," as one of the other defense attorneys put it).

238 Toward the end of the dad's testimony, he was asked if he was aware of what Fani testified the day before. He said "how could you not?" and said it was all over TV, radio, papers, etc., so he admitted he knew what she'd testified. One of the defense lawyers made a motion to strike his testimony based on that and the fact he was supposed to sequester himself as a witness, and the judge declined but said his admission was noted. Pretty obvious she didn't sequester herself either during Wade's testimony because she referred directly to things he said such as him being a "southern gentleman" who didn't get as pissed as she was about the questioning.

In addition, there is a new DA oversight committee to remove DA's that violate the law that is spinning up. It is based on the preexisting oversight committee that can remove sheriffs for illegal and unethical behavior.

262 What a lot of people are missing is that Fani herself said yesterday—in the same hearing—that she uses cash apps much more frequently than cash. Fani was subleasing a unit from her former friend (who testified that Willis and Wade were romantic years ago) and Fani said with respect to rent she rarely used cash, but rather “mostly I paid her via cash app. That would be the most convenient thing.” Yet oddly there is not a SINGLE cash app payment to Wade for all of the times she supposedly reimbursed him.

They aren't reporting it. Especially thefts, burglaries, etc. A more realistic guide is violent crime reports as murders, rapes, violent assaults tend to be reported due to medical must report requirements among other things.

So nobody who isn't an investment banker gets married? Taking the old "three months' salary" nonsense as an iron rule, and assuming you live in a state that doesn't tax income and you have no dependents or deductions (pay full freight on your federal taxes), that implies a $5,000 take-home pay, which amounts to an implied salary of around $85k.

It's very common for people who have dodgy sources of income to buy a lot of gold and jewelry. You see it on drug dealers, for example. Part of that is image, of course. But the practical reason is they can't put it in a bank account and gold/jewelry is easy to liquidate.

317 So nobody who isn't an investment banker gets married? Taking the old "three months' salary" nonsense as an iron rule, and assuming you live in a state that doesn't tax income and you have no dependents or deductions (pay full freight on your federal taxes), that implies a $5,000 take-home pay, which amounts to an implied salary of around $85k.

Optimistically.

That's well over the median income in many places and way above the national average.

Shocking, ain't it?

The most brilliant thing DeBeers did in terms of market manipulation - and it's totally legal - is the "Diamonds are Forever" slogan. Not just the slogan, but decades of advertising to drive the point home.

No matter how bad things get, for most women, the diamonds are the *last* things to get sold when push comes to shove. The house, the cars, the other jewelry, whatever - everything before the diamonds.

DeBeers and its brilliant saturation marketing damn near collapsed the secondhand market, keeping prices nice and high in the new market.

Yes, it was hyperbolic.

And saving money is good. And it takes discipline. Saving for a long time to build up a nice cushion/emergency fund/car fund and then blowing it on a bauble - even a bauble for an extremely special occasion that will only happen once - is not sensible unless you're rich enough for it not to matter (and even then, it's bad value).

I know logic doesn't enter into this thought process, and that men and women are very different, but if the roles were reversed and I got a $15k engagement ring, I'd start questioning whether marrying someone who would blow that much money on a bauble is really a good choice for binding myself to for life.

The thing about these efforts (which I agree are the point to some degree) is that it doesn't tell me that I'm stupid. I don't believe them.

It tell their followers that they're stupid.

Like when Obama joked about "shovel ready jobs" being bullshit and those who believed it are stupid. It wasn't the right who believed it.

This can be simplified by removing the "black female" part. The answer is the same: no.

If you simplify it further, and make it just "office holders," the answer is still "no" so often that if you just assume it to be true, you will rarely be surprised.

What the other sub-groupings provide is better protection from consequence. They make no difference to overall probability of corruption.

390 "A black woman can be obese and still wear a tight fitting mini-dress, sleeveless, and believe that they look fantastic."

Not just black women.

I have a relative in her thirties, borderline morbidly obese from a variety of conflicting health issues, who has always dressed in the latest and greatest, whether it was a favor to her body issues or not.

Mini pencil skirts, with the sound of rubbing thighs and the overlap of thigh hanging past knees.
Tight surplice style sleevless bodices with a four-boob look from the overflow, with a matching upper arm to elbow overhang, and batwings of flesh when she raises her arms.

She marries in a bustier/mermaid gown, and it was mesmerizingly scary as the recption dancing got more abandoned.

It is body positivity on bad acid.

I do not want to feel like I can smell the sweat in people's skin folds just by looking at them, but that brands me a respressed old boomer with internalized misogyny from the patriarchy.

Industrial diamonds have been of pretty poor quality. Making a *good* and proper jewelry-grade diamond is hard and the yields have historically sucked.

If they're now able to produce the good stuff reliably, it *will* change the market. And it will be expensive - and extremely profitable. And they will still last forever.

434 Ace,

As you may recall, I am a lawyer and what is the point of any of this?

If I am representing a Plaintiff (which I have done hundreds of times) and let's say I learn that the Defendant's lawyers are in what I deem an inappropriate relationship with each other, so what?

Does that mean I win? No. At best it means those lawyers would be taken off the case and different lawyers would be representing the Defendant.

It doesn't resolve the underlying claim. Why would it. There is either a dispute or there is not.

That's not to say there aren't levels of malfeasance which do resolve claims. Gross discovery abuses including but not limited to spoliation claims, can resolve cases. And obviously it's different if Defendant's attorney is sleeping with an attorney on the other side.

But this is an affair between two lawyers on the same side. The fact that Trump thinks this exonerates him shows how desperate he is. It's just salacious bullshit that doesn't mean a damned thing about what Trump did or didn't do in Georgia.

Imagine if it came out that Trump was sleeping the Alina Habba. What would that mean vis a vis his liability? Nothing. Nothing at all.

I expect him to decide against it but he might.

436 And why would two lawyers on the same side of case having a sexual relation mean that they should be removed from a case? And why would they not be replaced by other assistant prosecuting attorneys from the same office?

Obviously this is just a dilatory tactic by Trump's team. I get it. If you have one piano key, you play what you can with what you got.

Old lawyer saying, when you have the law, you pound the law. When you have the facts, you pound the facts. When you have neither, you pound the table. This is table pounding.

Again, this is two lawyers on the same side of a case sleeping together. Like me sleeping with a coworker. Why would that mean my firm is compromised? What, if I wasn't screwing the junior associate, I wouldn't have filed the Complaint I filed? What's the argument? That I was showing off to sexy junior associate by filing a frivolous lawsuit? That would never fly. It's beyond laughable.

We all know that Trump called the Georgia Sec State and asked him to conjure one more vote than he needed to overcome his loss in Georgia. None of this changes that. (can you imagine if this 'perfect' call worked and Trump had won Georgia overnight by 1 fucking vote?)

439 Why would I be disappointed, one way or another? Changing the prosecutor will not change the underlying acts. Trump was dumb enough to get himself recorded asking for votes to be found. Trump was dumb enough to get talked into a fake elector scheme.

They can change the prosecutor and he's still in deep shit. What happened to the Republican Party is what I want to know. Is there any stupid thing you guy's don't believe?

440 431:Seattle Stupid tortures the truth and supports election fraud and lawfare. Its how Marxists work. What do you expect from the people's republic of groomers?
