Fani Willis says she took cash from her first campaign and KEPT it. Will Biden DOJ file charges?

She is just mad that someone dared to question her actions.  You can tell she is not used to that and ran her mouth when she should have shut up. 

Someone just told me that when she brought this case against Trump, he told her she would regret it...lol.  I'm totally into this case now.  Watching the Nathan Wade testimony next, according to a report he confessed that some of his clients pay him in great amounts of cash that was not deposited in the bank, apparently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAixFnrW4Zw

The old saying; "Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house," applies here for sure.

Strange to pay a lawyer in cash.  It is a write off people going to need to show receipts for tax purposes. 
 Did not listen to all of his testimony.   But what I did hear sounds like he likely lied to the court during his divorce case.

She did not say from her personal money for her campaign....she said from her campaign.  

Then earlier in her testimony she says she is still upset over the $50k she is lost because of her campaign.   (You quoted it above)

Now one of these statements are not correct.  If she took HER $50k back from her campaign (perfectly legal to do)  THEN she was NOT out $50k.  
But she cannot be both.  Cannot have put in and then took it out and then she still be out of it.

Perhaps, those new 87,000 IRS employees Biden hired will sort it out. This post was edited by my2cents at February 16, 2024 6:56 PM MST

Your 'logic' escapes me. No where does she say she took the whole amount nor does she say that she only took campaign money out of the bank. She says while I was ON my first campaign not FOR or FROM my campaign. In other words, she took money out, some for the campaign,  some for other uses. Your question implied that she stole donor money (which is why I pointed out it was her own money that funded the campaign)and should be charged. Nice try. 

That money was LOST....if it is lost....she cannot later take it out. Cannot spend it twice. (On her campaign and then later keep it as cash in her home)

You apparently cannot understand what you read. Highlighting the words I just explained to you does not change their meaning. I don't think I can dumb it down any further, especially when you will see what you want to see.

She said the money she used for her campaign  WAS LOST money.   Again, if it was lost....then it was gone. She could not take it back out. 

Not to dumb down., you cannot count it twice unless.you are the government.  

Try this. I took $75 out of the bank and I gambled $50 of that at the casino and lost it. I put $25 under my mattress. How much did I lose?  Should there still be money under my mattress? If I tell you I took $50 out of my account to spend at the casino, am I lying because I did give details about the other $25?

At no point did she say she took only $50K out of her account. She said while she was campaigning she took a large amount and kept some for herself. If she kept some for herself, it was not spent on the campaign. This is not rocket science. 

What I am objecting to here, is you trying to stir the pot (I want to say troll, but I don't want to be accused of a personal attack), by first implying that she stole donor funds in your question and should be charged with a crime,  (and never clarified or removed the question, when you knew she did not) and then changed it to she lied about losing the money she spent on her own campaign without any evidence.

She says I took $50k out of my retirement....and that is gone.  Then she says she took money out of her campaign....that is illegal.  Money leftover from a campaign cannot be used for personal anything....certainly not to store in her home. Leftover campaign can donated to another candidate,  party or charity or saved for future race. If she withdrew it and just took it home, it was an illegal act.  

She should be investigated by the FEC to see if she did or did not misuse campaign funds. If she did then she should get the.fine that people get for those things. 

If it is part of the money she withdrew from her retirement account, then when they asked her for documentation of any withdraws that would explain her hoard of cash....then she should have answered that she had a statement from her retirement account showing the withdrawal(s) and any ATM/bank withdrawals. But she did not produce any docts and fought the attorneys seeking them.  As an attorney she should be aware that receipts are something need to show your payments to/for things. Especially,  if you already know your actions are going to be scrutinized because of the attention of the case you are on. 

I think she blew it and will be removed from the case.  Causing a significant delay or dismissal of the entire case.  

Well, the usual suspects on Twitter seem to agree with. Here is another twisted story, showing how the MAGA cult can turn anything into a scandal. It's just another distract and delay tactic.

Again, she should be able to clear thar right up. Show the statements showing her retirement withdrawal was more than her campaign money deposit.  Also show her bank statements , verifying her regular cash withdrawals as well.  They do not have to match exactly but show she regularly took large amounts of cash out of the bank so she could have cash at home. 

Shows she or her department are  not creditable and lied.  In more than one case to the courts. 
  

Trump did not try to cheat nor illegally overturn and election. 
 Trump legally pointed to obvious fraud and nothing illegal about contesting an election.  Or telling the person in charge of the election to find the fraud.  Nothing at all. 

He actually asked GeorgiA’s Secretary of State to “find 12,000 votes.”

That wasn’t trying to cheat. Sure it wasn’t.

Yes find the fraudulent 12000 votes.  There were more than that by the way. 

But not getting distracted.  That is not the topic here. Feel free to post the question... you know I will be there. 

Thank you.  You beat me to it.  Nothing that Willis or Wade did in their personal lives has any reflection on the question of whether or not Trump did something wrong.  Put two new prosecutors in Willis and Wade's place and it's still the same set of facts against Trump.

It's just another distract and delay tactic. If Trump did nothing wrong, he would want to get this trial moving and proove his innocence. This post was edited by Jane S at February 18, 2024 2:43 PM MST

Trump is not the defendant who filed the motion to remove Fani. Mr Roman was....

Yes, but we all know who calls the shots.

At least Trump is sharp enough people believe he is the one calling the shots.  Cause we all know Biden has dementia and ain't calling anything but for his ice cream and more kids to sniff. 

So you believe the others who plead guilty in this case, were simply listening to Trump calling the shots?

Of course it is.  That's his M.O.
