Say it's not so, Fani. Say it's not so.
Before getting to that, I have bad news: Knowing that depositions in the divorce action could be used to drive them out of office and possibly expose them to criminal action, Darrius "Sweetdick" Honeycum, Esq., suddenly decided to settle his divorce action, presumably on terms very favorable to his wife. This results, of course, in the subpoenas being null and void.
From the NY Post:
The Atlanta special prosecutor who brought election interference charges against Donald Trump reached a temporary divorce settlement with his estranged wife Tuesday -- meaning he likely won't have to testify in court about his alleged affair with his district attorney boss.
The settlement automatically canceled a hearing scheduled for Wednesday in which Darrius "Magicschwanz" Honeycum, Esq.* was expected to answer about his relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
It also means Willis will likely avoid testifying in the case.
*Edited for clarity.
I suppose this temporary settlement could be undone the moment he and Fani Willis are out of trouble.
Ed Morrissey:
One has to imagine that Mrs. Wade finally got her piece of the massive fees that Willis paid Wade to run the RICO prosecution. Up to now, Mrs. Wade complained in earlier filings, she'd gotten bupkis while Willis lived high on the $650,000 in legal fees she paid Wade.
Does that mean it's all over? Should we be depressed?
Nah, son, don't be a fag. The ex-wife has used the affair to extract a ton of money from Sweetdick Darrius, but her agreement to a settlement does not confer some kind of immunity on Sweetdick and Mummycooze. The news that she hired her Professional Boner with taxpayer funds and then had those funds effectively kicked back to her in the form of cruises and trips is still a concern to the state of Georgia, and the judge overseeing this case will be asking the same sort of questions that Mrs. Sweetdick intended to ask.
On to the newest news of Fani Willis' poon-centric perfidy:
I have to clarify the headline: The aide did not warn Fani Crotchcooties about spending money on her paid paramour Darrius "Sweetdick" Honeycum, Esq. (often misidentified as "Nathan Wade" in the stupid incompetent media).
She was instead warning Fani Willis about Willis' top aide taking monies specifically granted to her office for specific legitimate legal purposes and diverting it to buy "swag," "Macbooks," and pay for travel for the staff.
And Fani Willis fired this aide who brought the misuse of taxpayer funds to her attention.
While this has no direct bearing on l'affaire Sweetdick, it does demonstrate that Fani Willis is as loose with rules about spending taxpayer money as she is in her droopy choadbucket. Thus, one might suspect she might be a bit cavalier about spending taxpayer money to keep her Taxpayer-Funded Dick-Slinger in high style.
Fani Willis may have fired the employee who warned her about mishandling federal funds. But she didn't deny her allegations.
Less than a year into her tenure as Fulton County district attorney, in 2021, Willis met with Amanda Timpson, an employee in the district attorney's office responsible for giving nonviolent juvenile offenders "alternatives to the juvenile court system." During their conversation, a recording of which was reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, Timpson claimed to Willis that she had been demoted after attempting to stop a top Willis campaign aide from misusing federal grant money meant for a youth gang prevention initiative.
According to Timpson, the aide, Michael Cuffee, planned to use part of a $488,000 federal grant--earmarked for the creation of a Center of Youth Empowerment and Gang Prevention--to pay for "swag," computers, and travel.
Using taxpayer funds to pay for travel...?
This doesn't sound like the Fani Willis I know.
"He wanted to do things with grants that were impossible, and I kept telling him, like, 'We can't do that,'" Timpson told Willis in a Nov. 19, 2021, meeting. "He told everybody ... 'We're going to get MacBooks, we're going to get swag, we're going to use it for travel.' I said, 'You cannot do that, it's a very, very specific grant.'"
"I respect that is your assessment," Willis responded. "And I'm not saying that your assessment is wrong."
Later in the conversation, Willis apologized to Timpson, and said Cuffee had "failed" her administration.
Less than two months later, Willis abruptly terminated Timpson and had her escorted out of her office by seven armed investigators, according to Timpson. When Timpson filed a whistleblower complaint the following year that alleged wrongful termination, Willis's office issued a statement describing Timpson as a "holdover from the prior administration" who was terminated because of her "failure to meet the standards of the new administration."
Timpson's experience sheds further light on how Willis--who campaigned on the promise of restoring "integrity" to the district attorney's office--does business. The Democrat has come under fire amid revelations that she tapped her lover, Darrius "Sweetdick" Honeycum, Esq.,* to handle the office's racketeering case against former president Donald Trump. Willis is also alleged to have misappropriated taxpayer funds to facilitate her affair with Wade, a married man with scant prosecutorial experience.
To Timpson, these twin incidents demonstrate "a pattern" in Willis's conduct.
