Fani Willis Defends Failed Election Interference Case in Heated Hearing
The Atlanta-area district attorney called President Trump and his allies “criminals” while being questioned by a Georgia Senate committee on Wednesday.
“Are you ready to tell them what they want to hear?” “Is it true that part of your transition team was involved in the pr ocess of interviewing people before you entered office to lead the investigation into the 2020 presidential election?” “If you recall the facts, I was already district attorney when this all came to light. I interviewed everybody at the D.A.’s office. And I interviewed other people to come and work at the district attorney’s office. And as I told you, I did that on my free time before I became D.A., but I had no way of knowing that these criminals were going to commit a crime. You all want to intimidate people from doing the right thing, and you think that you’re going to intimidate me. But you see, I’m not Marjorie Taylor Greene. I ain’t going to quit in a month because somebody threatens me.” “Mr. Peter Skandalakis, as head of PAC, continued the investigation after you were disqualified. He concluded the investigation did not further warrant further action.” “Mr. Skandalakis has never read our entire file when he just dismissed this case. There is no way that he read the entire file. You want something to investigate as a legislature? Investigate how many times they’ve called me the N-word. Why don’t you investigate that? Why don’t you investigate them writing on my house? Why don’t you investigate the fact that my house has been SWATted? If you want something to do with your time that makes sense. And you can use all this in your campaign ad — you attacked Fani Willis. What have you done, sir? Nothing.” “Based on the indictment, that the goal was — the ultimate goal was to overthrow the 2020 election.” “That was the ultimate goal. And we’ve had people that are supposed to be leaders that instead of being leaders, are just cowering down. This country needs leaders, not cowards.”
