Fani Willis testifying in Fulton County, Georgia yesterday:
You’re confused. You think I’m on trial. These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020.
Before this, I was receptive to the idea that maybe she should step aside to avoid this trial going off the rails. But it’s unfair for her personal life to be made public on such weak evidence. She’s done the work to bring these charges against Trump and should finish the job.
Vincent Van Dinsky @manton Why would it go off the rails? The merits of the court case have nothing to do with her personal life. The Guardian said something like, "even if she's cleared, she's lost control of the case." But they never explained in what way she has lost control of the case.
Manton Reece @vvandinsky Yeah, my concern was that it poisons her credibility even if completely false. Agreed it has nothing to do with case. Maybe this blows over.
Vincent Van Dinsky @manton Her "credibility" is not at issue in a court case. She's not a witness.
