She sure DID use taxpayer dollars - a LOT of it!!
She had an affair with another prosecutor (Nathan Wade) that she hired. She paid him $250/hour when all the other prosecutors were only being paid $150/hour - some of whom had much more experience and cases than Wade did. And, she hired Wade to provide legal services regarding anti-corruption issues when the Fulton County already HAD a legal department that handled anti-corruption cases (the person who handled those cases Sonja Allen, who had to back off the case when WAde was hired). So.....Georgia taxpayers were paying for TWO people to handle anti-corruption cases, when the budget only called for one person in Fulton County for that position.
She traveled all over the world with Wade on cruises, trips across the country and other vacation trips, and when asked who paid for what, she said everything they did was paid for in
cash and they didn't keep any receipts. She couldn't remember the name of the cruise lines, the travel agents they used, the names of the hotels they stayed in or anything else - no receipts for any of it. And when the prosecutor asked her if she could provide any proof at all of how much money they spent (they were only allowed to spend one hundred dollars on outside expenditures - anything above $100.00 had to be approved)....but they didn't do that, either...and no one knows how much, or where the money came from for all those vacations.
If that's not suspicious enough, she applied to the city for funds in the neighborhood of millions of dollars to hire 55 "new" employees, which she did not get proper approval for, was granted millions of dollars to hire those employees BUT when she got the money, she did not use it to hire those 55 new employees..she hired about 3 or 4 employees, and has no record of what happened to the rest of the money. (The implication is that they used it for the trips.)
Nathan Wade and Ms Willis had a meeting in January with the DOJ and the Vice President (??) at the
White House! For 8 hours, according to his billing records. No reason was given as to why they needed to meet at the White House, with the Vice President Harris and the DOJ BEFORE the indictments were charged! And speaking of billing records, Wade did not itemize his time the way attorneys must do when billing clients...he had whole blocks of time slots - 8 hours here, 8 hours there, when most attorneys bill in 10 - 15-minute slots....i.e., a phone call for 20 minutes, or a luncheon meeting for 45 minutes, etc. Willis was the one who approved the billings. There was a huge question about how Willis even billed for furniture and other items she purchased when she hired Wade and other employees....she had approval authority, and no one ever questioned the amounts she spent or what it was for....and the purchasing department just rubber-stamped disbursing the money to Wade because Willis approved it, and they were not to question it.
There is proof of conflict of interest all over the place! And there's a more that these two lovebirds did that was a conflict of interest - six examples of it. Watch the special hearing where the State Investigation Committee and Ms. Merchant exposed these things. (link below)!
The video of the State Investigation Committee's hearing when they subpoenaed Ms. Merchant (Fani Willis' prosucutor) to ask her more questions about the disqualification shows a clear conflict of interest....if you doubt she committed fraud after listening to this, I think you must be biased. Ms Merchant was called a racist and liar throughout the hearing, and she is out to prove that not only are those things untrue, but very much of what Ms Willi and Mr. Wade have been saying is "untruthful"....and that is the crux of the matter.....if they are untruthful about even ONE thing, they should be disqualified....and there is a LOT of "untruth" that has been done with these two clowns.
I believe one of the reasons why the Fulton County Ethics Board does not want to waste time and money investigating the ethics of Ms Willis and Mr. Wade' actions, is because it was clearly pointed out at the State Investigation Committee hearing that ethics were violated - the details are quite astonishing.
