Fani Willis takes the witness stand: Letters to the Editor — Feb. 19, 2024

The Issue: Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ testimony regarding her affair with Nathan Wade.

Belligerent, evasive and defiant are just a few words to describe the attitude of Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis (“Witness stand weighs on Fani,” Feb. 13).

Her non-credible testimony regarding misconduct allegations about her relationship with Nathan Wade, her hand-picked prosecutor for the election-fraud case against former President Donald Trump, is just another reason why the case against Trump should be dismissed.

And while we are at it, Willis and Wade ought to be disbarred. Next case.

My reaction to seeing Willis in court was: “Wow.”

All you need to know is that she is a George Soros appointee — DEI at its finest.

I believe the prosecutors who questioned Willis on Thursday were scared of being potentially guilty of subornation of perjury if they had put her on the stand again today. Therefore, Willis was not called to the stand Friday, as expected.

On Thursday, it looked to me like she lied on the stand. She said their relationship did not start until after the case began. However, witnesses testified that they saw her and Wade kissing prior.

Secondly, Willis reportedly paid Wade $650,000, an attorney with no experience prosecuting felonies, and who reportedly billed for 24 hours in a single day. Willis then used Wade to take her on elaborate vacations.

Willis claims she paid him back in cash — with no proof.

Willis’ behavior on the witness stand in court was utterly disgraceful. She is supposed to be an officer of the court, a dignified member of the justice system.

Instead, she behaved like an unhinged, arrogant loudmouth.

Willis is supposed to be prosecuting a case against a former president and other co-defendants. At the very least, she should be removed from the case, and her married paramour lawyer, to whom she paid a fortune to be the lead prosecutor, should also be removed.

It is shocking that a person of such poor character is a district attorney.

The Issue: Proposed MTA expansions in light of lawsuits against the MTA for its congestion pricing plan.

With the ongoing lawsuit against the implementation of congestion pricing, $15 billion in MTA capital projects, including for the new Second Avenue subway, could now be on hold (“$90M bus bid as toll nears,” Feb. 9).

The MTA accepted the terms and conditions of an initial grant offer from the Federal Transit Authority.
That agency capped its funding based on the MTA’s commitment to a secure $4.3 billion local share, contingent on the implementation of congestion pricing.

The lawsuits could place the project on hold, and result in the FTA closing out its grant to the MTA — subsequently ending the project for the Second Avenue subway.

Broadway used to be a wide boulevard with traffic flowing from all the way uptown to lower Manhattan.
Then, Mayor Michael Bloomberg put in useless pedestrian plazas and crazy traffic patterns, causing a ton of traffic.

This made it almost impossible to get around.

Why not revert to how the roads were before, instead of punishing the poor and middle-class people and business owners with congestion pricing? Because after all, the rich won’t notice nor care.
