Oh, yes she did. Late yesterday, the Washington Post ran a (paywalled) story headlined, “Fani Willis, Trump Georgia case prosecutor, ends silence on misconduct accusations. The sub-headline explained, “She doesn’t directly address the most salacious allegations but suggests racism is at the heart of claims against her.” Of course she did.

Embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis earnestly addressed the congregation at Atlanta’s Big Bethel AME Church as its Martin Luther King weekend keynote speaker. DA Willis either gave a sermon, delivered a speech, or possibly made an act of contrition; it wasn’t clear. The DA at times seemed humble and contrite, at times emotional and angry, frequently invoking invidious racism, sexism (Fani is Fulton’s first female DA) and unfair discrimination, begging congregants to forgive her for being an “imperfect black woman” who needs to be “allowed to stumble,” and finally comparing the media criticism of herself to the FBI’s persecution of Martin Luther King, Junior.
To paraphrase failed 1988 vice-presidential candidate Lloyd Bentsen, Ms. Willis, you are no Martin Luther King, Junior.
Anyway. Possibly anticipating skepticism over her racism claim, since plenty of white politicians have also gotten into trouble for failing to keep it in their pants, DA Willis defiantly but slightly incoherently insisted that “isn’t it them playing the race card when they think I need someone in some other jurisdiction in some other state to tell me how to do a job I’ve been doing almost 30 years?”
Despite supervising a vast multi-million-dollar budget, employing male sexual attendants, enjoying taxpayer-funded luxury vacations, and overseeing the most historic criminal prosecution in history against a white President, Ms. Willis believes she is the latest victim of this country’s deplorable systemic racism. But that’s not all. She is also the victim of too high expectations.
“You cannot expect black women to be perfect and save the world,” Willis explained.
DA Willis’s perfect world began to crumble last week when she was “outed” for bad behavior by one of many co-defendants she indicted along with President Trump under squishy Georgia election crimes. She’s probably wishing now she hadn’t included that particular defendant; maybe DA Willis shouldn’t have been so greedy for defendants.
According to carefully-documented allegations in the co-defendant’s motion to disqualify DA Willis — allegations Willis still has not denied — the Soros-funded District Attorney hired and paid a small fortune to an inexperienced lawyer she was sleeping and vacationing with on the side. And then she assigned him to a central role in the Trump case.

And then — according to his own poorly-kept fee records — in the runup to Trump’s indictment, lawyer qua gigolo Nathan Wade met at least twice with White House lawyers — for a full day each time. Apart from working under Ms. Willis on the Trump case, Nathan has nothing going on that the White House might be interested in, never mind interested enough to spend sixteen hours talking to him.
Unless Nathan defrauded Fulton County, since he was hired to work on the Trump case, his invoiced sixteen hours of meetings with White House counsel had to be related to the Trump case. It’s a smoking gun proving White House involvement in the case.
On Friday, Governor Brian Kemp, a key witness in DA Willis’s case against Trump, called the new claims against Willis “deeply troubling.” Kemp also told reporters that “Evidence should be presented quickly in order for Judge McAfee to rule and the public to have confidence in this trial moving forward.”
DA Willis’s high opinion of herself is difficult to over-estimate. Suggesting that the Creator of the Universe personally arranged her appearance at Big Bethel AME, DA Willis explained “Today, what He has brought you is his very flawed, hardheaded and imperfect servant.”
Nathan Wade’s fee records are awful. They’re so bad that in a non-political case he could get disbarred for them. For just one example, Nathan mostly billed Fulton County in even hour increments, like 1.00, 2.00, or 4.00 hours. Florida’s Supreme Court says that kind of billing violates minimum ethical requirements and has sanctioned lawyers for doing it. And those are in cases without public money involvement.
One gets the impression Nathan has never done that kind of billing before.
The more salacious allegations, such as that DA Willis overpaid her lover, or benefited from those payments by going on luxury cruises and trips with him, are bad enough. But massively more meaningful are Nathan’s documented connections to the White House before the indictments.
Only slightly reading between the lines, it looks like the White House lawyers went to great lengths to meet with Nathan outside the White House so the visits wouldn’t show up on visitor logs. But then — to get paid for sixteen billable hours — Nathan made sure to invoice Fulton County for his time and dropped names.
This story has more legs than one of Wonderland’s talking centipedes. At this point, it’s impossible to say how it could affect the Trump case, or even cases. The media coverage suggests democrats will throw DA Willis under the bus, because her horrible judgment is a profound political liability. What will she screw up next? What other overpaid skeletons could come tumbling out of Fani’s closet?
? But as big as are the potential implications for the Trump cases, there’s an even bigger potential development here — the inevitable implosion of George Soros’s local strategy. That’s a giant claim, but stick with me a minute.
George Soros blew up traditional politics by breaking with the Democrat party and investing directly in local candidates like sheriffs and especially district attorneys, the gatekeepers for all criminal prosecution. The idea was to push far-left agendas by electing loyal DAs who would refuse to prosecute violations of any laws that Soros didn’t like, like laws restricting abortions or gender mutilation surgeries. That way you don’t even need to change any laws. Easy peasy.
To his credit, George Soros recognized the local, local, local strategy even before it was popular. And he recognized that it was way cheaper to help a DA get elected than to help a presidential candidate or even a senator gain office. So Soros transformed county after county, even many bright-red counties, into woke legal sanctuary counties where hardened criminals get released back onto the streets within hours, instead of being buried beneath the jail where they belong.
But things may be changing. Soros made a big mistake. His carefully-elected DA’s are falling one by one. It turns out that, if you elect mentally-undersized hacks and crooks willing to violate their oaths of office, they’ll eventually hang themselves. From California to Texas to Florida, Soros DAs are falling, one by one. Just in Florida, Governor DeSantis has removed two big-county DAs for violating their oaths to uphold the law.
There’s a hard political lesson here. The two parties each run a “farm team” system to develop candidates, for a reason. To gain party support, local candidates have to prove themselves through volunteering in the party before they get support for entry-level local offices like clerk, tax appraiser, or dog catcher. The parties then watch and see which candidates successfully hold office and don’t embarrass themselves (or anybody else).
Then the parties “promote” the good ones to higher local office, like city council, county commission, or mayor.
Once a local official shows political skill, and doesn’t collapse under piles of bones falling out of their closets, the parties run those proven local officials for higher state office. Then, successful state office-holders will be moved up to federal. You get the idea.
George Soros was too impatient to wait for the democrat farm team to produce viable super-woke candidates. Frustrated with the slow pace, the billionaire bypassed the Democrat Party’s normal farm-team system and ran his own slate of crooked candidates, flooding their campaigns with cash and overwhelming their opponents.
Fani Willis’s political experience was a single stint as a “municipal judge,” which was as glorified traffic court magistrate — an appointed position. Like Fani Willis, many of the other Soros candidates were not proven political campaigners. They were far-left partisans without any prior political track record.
Now Soros’s DAs are collapsing under the weight of rookie mistakes, flaming out from one self-inflicted injury after another. They’re mistakes experienced politicians wouldn’t make. This is what happens when anyone, Soros or anybody else, bypasses the established system to get to the finish line faster.
From time to time, grassroots conservatives have made the very same mistake and learned the hard way. It happened with the Tea Party and more recently with some MAGA candidates. Usually conservatives get frustrated about establishment “RINO” candidates, so they buck the party system and run a first-timer for a higher office like state representative or even for Congress. Sometimes conservatives will even primary the Republican incumbent with an inexperienced candidate. Then, the well-intentioned but politically-inexperienced conservative candidate will flame out after some embarrassing self-inflicted injury, like the nice young Tea Party lady who made the ill-advised TV commercial denying she was a witch:
This is what’s happening to George Soros. There is a reason for the farm team system, and skipping the line gets you district attorneys who hire adulterous hacks, sleep with them, authorize millions in unwarranted pay, and implicate the White House in high crimes and misdemeanors.
In other words, these folks create train wrecks.
Soros’s empire of hyper-partisan politicians might burn itself down to the ground — and do generational harm to the democrat party in the meantime. Sure, other partisans don’t care about crooked DAs, but normal people do. DA’s like Fani Willis, Chesa Boudin, Mark Gonzalez, Andrew Warren, and Monique Warrell are all examples of ex-Soros DA’s (or soon to be ex-DA’s) who badly tarnished the democrat brand on their way out.
